Okay that's good to know. I like my job and have no plans of leaving it just because it's not paying me a whole bunch of money.
Most guys don't worry about what a woman makes, but what we do worry about is foolish spending. Women who are foolish spenders are also women who expect the guys to front all bills and the demanding type who expect everything to be done for them.
The typical person who will be poor all their life.
When it comes time kick a relationship up a notch or two, I believe one has to consider the ability/desire of the partner to economically contribute to allow them to enjoy a good life. Not tickeee....no shirtee...
I have several older male friends that when things got serious, the women had little to contribute to a partnership. In both cases the man felt he would be taking care of her so the relationship ended. I am sure this goes both ways but overall I think there are less women able to economically take care of themselves then there are men capable of taking care of themselves.
A lot of older men are looking for a Nurse with a Purse..............LOL
If anything, I think they prefer the woman makes less than they do. Gives them a sense of control or power, and it makes women less intimidating to them, at least among the men my age.

Well I'm not a foolish spender, I don't live paycheck to paycheck or anything. I don't see the point of 'window shopping' when you don't have any money/extra money. I know women that do that though.

And people wonder why I look for guys my age or several years younger.
Nah, salary really isn't important to me.. but certain things are.
I wouldn't want to date a minimum wage girl who felt that she deserved a big screen tv and a smart phone and chose that over paying the bills on time. However, I would date a girl who is making 10 bucks an hour who was living at that wage and doing her best to find a better paying job.
It doesn't come down to looks at all, I wouldn't date a girl I don't find hot, but I also wouldn't date a hot girl I couldn't respect.
As long as she's not financially retarded and has direction in life I'm game.
I'm not looking to get serious with women who are 50-100K in student loan debt that make less than 20K a year while being irresponsible with money. (It's amazing how many people, male and female live with that anchor around their necks!)
Although, If she sets goals and is on clear, realistic path to make it on her own I'd be ok with that.
I date uneducated waitresses all the time if they're awesome people. I don't look down on people for that stuff. I make more than enough money to keep me afloat. I don't want to get involved with a drain, but they don't have to bring any bacon home. I prefer them to work and stay busy enough to have their own life though.
I personally wouldn't care if a woman made 30k/yr or 30k/month however I agree with the above post that said I'm more concerned that she's responsible. Spending and living outside her means with a lot of debt and material things is a deal-breaker to me.
Anyone notice the current prevalence of an expectation for a two income household? Useta be women were sort of expected to stay home and take care of the kids. Anyone done a study on how much raising a pair of kids is per year and if having someone stay home (doesn't have to be the female) to take care of them is an economic improvement? As well as an improvement in living conditions for the family? Seems most folks now only look at the bottom line economic income as important and quality of family life is second best.
Lots of threads about men incomes and how they cannot get dates if they are low income. What about women? Do men really not care how much a woman makes? I work an okay job as a medical receptionist/secretary, but I'm not making big bucks or anything. What's the truth where women's salaries are concerned in terms of getting dates; does it truly just come down to looks then?
I don't think for the most part that men really care all that much about it. I think as long as you can pay your bills and aren't completely drowning in debt is usually fine.
