I don't know I think that would be a step backwards for men. I could never imagine coming home to my mom and saying, "mom I'm in a relationship with a doctor or engineer or lawyer." I mean I don't think I'm shallow but income, assets, income potential, ambition, drive, success just don't get my juices flowing. I can't imagine ever being turned on by any of those things. I'm an analytical guy but it zaps out all the romance and chemistry out of the process of a relationship were I driven to find a woman based on that criteria as if it had to be some rational, economic process.
Some guys find brilliant, successful women to be a turn-on. Others don't. To each his own.

Well, it would certainly decrease the guys here complaining about paying alimony!
I certainly couldn't date someone on the basis of money alone. I've happily turned down guys that bank bucks, because they had nothing else that I would be interested in. I don't believe in using people.
See if your juices are flowing as the two of you argue over whether you get a new flatscreen or she gets her hair done (to go with stereotypes). Money shouldn't turn you on, but you should realize how fast the issue can turn you off.
I just think it should be a consideration like anything else. It adds or subtracts to the "net" of the person you are considering.

Hahahaha, oh please. It all depends on the guy. I had zero problems meeting, dating, [Snip.] TONS of very dateable woman prior to me ever making over 50k.
You know what matters? A million things. I can promise you that if I made 20k a year I could still [Snip.] 100x more woman than some tool that makes 200k. In fact, my friends cousin is in his 20's and has a net worth near a million. Not a terrible looking guy, just a total nerd with zero social skills. He hasn't gotten laid in like 2 years. Not for lack of effort, but lack of personality.
Money is not everything. However based on your long nerdy equation and thread I have a feeling you are just using it as a justification why you struggle with women when there's obviously 100 other things you could consider.

THIS!
This type of message never seems to sink in with people like the OP, but this is the truth.
The hypothesis looks like a failed math proof, and would never pass peer review.
For starters, Fact 1 presents an invalid premise. There simply are not nearly enough $100K men for every woman who is decently attractive.
I would say that there are more men that make 100k than there are decently attractive women, unless we're talking about women under 25. I would say that 1 in 10 women are decently attractive after 40, and that's being pretty generous.

Why do people even trouble themselves with such questions? How can you know if this is true or not? You may be able to quantify the number of men out there with paychecks of $100k or more, but how on earth are you ever going to quantify something entirely subjective like "decent looking?"

Or ask every person who makes that criteria their age? I'm not sure why anyone concerns themselves with numbers, or "most", or what have you. Basically you only need one at a time.

I don't even need that. I already have my "reasonably attractive" wife and am bringing in over $100k so I'm set, I guess!
