A lot of guys would not date a woman who made more than them.
I'm not like that exactly, but I wouldn't like to marry a woman who makes way more than me. I'd feel she has too much power over me.
There are rare cases like this.
Mostly, though, women won't even consider a guy that makes less than them. It's part of why the female doctors mentioned earlier have such a hard time, whereas the girl making $10 an hour has almost unlimited potential dates.
Think of this as a pyramid. (Most) Men will consider a match in either direction. So basically they have the entire pyramid as potential dates/partners/whatever.
Women, OTOH, generally won't consider anyone at or below their level. So if the pyramid is divided into 100 levels, and she's on 10, she has 11-100 as potential partners (though realistically it's probably closer to 15-100, maybe 20-100). If she's on 50, then 51+ (again, probably actually 65+). Now imagine she's on level 95. That leaves only 96-100, and since a pyramid gets smaller as you go up, that means there are only a few above her level. If there are 100 on level 1, 99 on 2, 98 on 3, etc., since she's limited to 96-100, that leaves....15 men. And the gal on 10? Well, the math is disgusting and I don't want to do it. I'm sure you can use some kind of function to come up with a number but college was a few years ago.
Anyway, OP, to answer your question: Attractiveness and a good personality will (generally) go a LOT farther with guys than a six-digit income. We just don't care.
Generally. Personally I even when I was willing to bother with females, I wouldn't fool with waitresses, gas station clerks, Walmart employees, or anyone else making minimum wage (or below, in the case of waitresses in most states). I'm not an ATM, so she'd better have her own money.
Hmmm. This thread has really made me think. As a woman, I would like to say that I would not care what a man's income is. As long as he has a job, lives on his own and is not horribly in debt I would be fine. Now......after having to support my husband for the past few years (paying mortgage, cars, well everything), I would personally prefer someone at or close to my income level. Sadly, I feel that money is the root of issues in many marriages. I would never want to be my current position again. The sexiest thing is a man that brings something to the table. Ahhhh, memories. He's given up hope. I think at this point he is just comfortable knowing that I can hold everything down which is a bummer. I apologize for using this as a way to relieve my stress a bit. lol.
Woman care a lot more about a mans income than the other way around . To a point if a guys goal in life is working fast food past 25/30 years of age and do it until he dies with no real goals woman view guys like that as losers IMO.
I don't mind the money I make but I'm insecure about it in some ways because I don't make as much as other women my age.
Stop saleing your self short . I think you can make up for it in other ways and not just sex . I know I need more out of GF than a warm place for my junk at night.
I do care because of the cost of living is very high in San Francisco. Otherwise, not too much. Exorbitant spending is always something I look out for.
SOME men care about what a woman makes, but many men just care that she works and is responsible with whatever money she does have.
That is the case for me, just as long as she works it doesn't matter how much she makes, mainly because I'm not looking to get married or settle down, start a family yet, I'm still interested in casual dating
When you read the threads about women paying for dates it seems like men must care more than they are willing to admit.
A woman who can pay for her share of restaurant dates, concerts, vacations, etc., is going to have to make a certain amount of money in order to be able to always pay her own way.
