Regardless, you need to take a basic course in research methods before you attempt to use half-assed "polls" with a couple dozen responses on a lame-ass forum to draw any real-world conclusions. Unless, of course, you drew your conclusion long before you posted your "poll," but I'm sure that's not the case at all, is it?

Bingo. Lots of people using the absolute wrong measures here for what they're attempting to deduce. That's not to mention that anyone who discloses to you anything about their financial situation in the early stages of dating (let along before dating) is doing it wrong and is best avoided at all costs.

I just hope he's not overweight or older than you, since you rail against both types of men with every opportunity you get.

Oh wait, he's both, isn't he?

Bummer. I guess you're a horrible goddamned hypocrite who shouldn't post here anymore, but something tells me that won't stop you.

Perhaps!

I don't know about you, but personally if that's true, I hope I always do!

I think most woman can tell how much a guy makes by what he does for a living and what neighborhood he lives in.

That is one reason why I am not dating is I work retail in live in the slums. At my age it is so embarrassing to admit you suck at life and did try hard in school so you work a dead end job with upward mobility. Also I do not date seeing I could not live like that so I am going back to college and have been for some time now .

Then if the guy get a 2nd job he will get the old you are never home why are you working all the time ?

It is also called a thing called heart to want to provide for your family we are just driven to do so . If a girl made more money then me I would get another full time or part time job to put food on the table.
So, if you make $80 thousand, and she makes $160 thousand, you're going to get a part-time job just to put food on the table?

I was talking about more if i guy made poverty wages like 30 k take home and the woman made 75 k to 100 k take home a year.

If I was dating a girl and she made more then me like 60 k to 100 k I would have to get a 2nd job so i would not feel like i loser in her eyes seeing i only make 30 k a year take home and that is a little above poverty for the place i live. Btw i am maxed out can not make a penny more but i did get a thanks for making the company millions and millions last year btw we are cutting your hours ok thanks happy to see someone is get rich I just love eating Top Ramen soup every night. I am sure telling a date you make other people rich but not your self will get her all stirred up in the loins .

That's all I care about. As long as he does all the food shopping who cares what his income is!

But no bacon...yuk!

um you better care to a point do you really want to be eating out of garbage cans or going to the food bank every week? It sure does not look like fun it sad more than anything.

It is not fun having 200 hundred vocation hours but can not go anywhere so why take them? What sit at home and go this is cool and stay home in my apartment and just get drunk to pass the time?
