I always told my son don't even attempt to talk to a woman unless you are making at least 50K, and you have at least 2k inthe bank. That can be done with a civil service job without a degree. Of course if you have a degree and make more you have a better chance.
Are you trying to tell me the 0-20K range can sustain a life? Maybe it might if you live with family, roommates, and count your every bite, but that's not exactly life.

Hmm, my grandpa (who did very well in his day) told me something similar. He said I should not date a woman until I had my own home and all my life goals were met (e.g., school). Now that I'm older, it looks to be true because so many hardships can come about in a relationship from lack of money or the lack of stability of keeping a roof over your head.
Looking at the animal kingdom, even male animals have some kind of "hump" they need to get over in order to mate with a female. Usually they need to fight other males and take just take over (this did happen a lot in past history with humans), build a nest, or display some type of specific sound, color or behavior in order to attract a mate unlike MODERN humans who just arbitrarily mate with anything; even the same sex.
I will tell you want though, as a man, when you tell a women that you're not qualified to date them, in a way, they like it because it's refreshing to be around somebody who is honest and upfront, because, far too many men these days who have nothing pose as if they have everything and they are tired of it.
I don't think there is any acceptable minimum salary that women accept. The more the better.
I saw the teeth recently from my sister who is trying to have a baby with her husband. Husband lost his flashy job last year but has managed to land some consulting work from different people and he bills an hourly rate of over $100 an hour. I think pretty good considering this economy. But not enough for her. And it never seems to be. I responded that he might be happier running his own business for himself rather than working for someone else who could be unreliable. I got a load of venom back in the face for suggesting such a travesty.
If you make $1K a week, they want $2K. If you make $2k a week, they want $4k. If you make $4k a week, they want $8k. And so on. It never ends until you have expended everything and put yourself in horrendous debt and are a broken man by the age of 60. Once broken and used up you get dumped.
Yes, the world is crawling with women who demand that their men make $8,000 a week.
LOL C'mon, Julia. Don't ruin his internet hyperbole moment in the sun.
Any way, I want my dh to make at least 60k. 40-60k is needed to run the household, so we need a back up salary to cover the basics in case one of us loses our job.

But looking at it from a different perspective sometimes it is those very struggles and obstacles that make a relationship strong. And working together to obtain your home that creates a bond.
Marriages among the rich and famous are often less stable than those that have financial hardships.
