former public school teacher......live on the east coast. MOST women here look down on men that teach. They can lie and say they don't all they want, but it is the absolute truth. $75K won't get you much here in NYC/NJ. If you can find a women that makes your same salary you will be doing pretty good. You won't be rich but two $75K salaries will be a definite upgrade from one. I WOULD CONCENTRATE MORE ON FINDING A WOMAN THAT HAS MINIMUM DEBT. CONCENTRATE ON FINDING ONE THAT IS CLOSE TO OR ABSOLUTELY DEBT FREE.
FORGET ABOUT THE SIX FIGURE MAKING WOMEN. A lot of them are a headache. GO FOR MINIMUM/NO DEBT. Best of luck out here dude.

I'm going to be teaching soon so my income is going to be around 45k and when I hit the top of the pay scale(after about 20 years), my salary should be around 75k-80k. When I first decided I wanted to be a teacher I was okay with this, but I've been getting a few conflicting messages about it from. Because it's at the primary level, just about nearly everyone I work with are females and married. I've been told by a couple that she doesn't really care what type of school she teaches in(privates normally pay less) because her husband makes six figures and another one told me that not being able to pull in six figures looks really bad on my part. The end result is that it has made me second guess my choice to teach and do it at the level I teach at(some women seemed to be turned off by guys who work with primary aged children because it's not considered masculine) even though I like it because I won't be able to compare to guys 20-30 years from now who are pulling in more than I'll be earning.
So I'm just wondering what is your range for an acceptable income for you all while/when you are/were dating?
When did Gold digger become something you couldn't say? Some people just are. The Eagles had a top hit about it. Now, its "purging time?: Really?
Theres alot of women who front like they're satisfied with the economic status of their current mate but its more like you can't do any better.
BS, you can find a guy who makes money. Problem is, the ones I met made me thoroughly miserable in a very short time. Not saying that all guys with money are miserable. Just the ones I dated made me miserable. It would have been moronic to try to pursue a LTR with them. I'm satisfied with our economic status because we're happy. That might not mean much to you, but that's important to me.

Minimum is "enough to keep him alive/afloat".
That's all.
Fiscal status has never entered into my dating/relationship decision-making.
I don't care if he's got inherited whatnot, is among the working poor, or is on welfare,
so long as he can maintain his own budget & isn't chronically in crisis-
because I'm in no financial position to help/rescue/save anyone else.
Women want a man who makes more money than them, regardless if they make 50K or 350K. It's part of the alpha status they want to see from men.
