Are women turned off if the Man makes less money?

Question

Here's my life experience because I've been the big money maker that was fat, and then I started pretending I'm super broke, that just happens to have no job, so I'd lift weights all day.

With the money... I'd get the chicks but it was usually short-lived. The only ones that stuck around basically just needed the money.

With the muscles and I'm serious, I downgraded to just focus on muscles. I moved out of my condo, into a $ 400-per-month apartment... a studio one that only has two burners on the stove next to the little sink. Furniture: My weight cage and weights, Television/computer (I use the television as the monitor) on the wall and a pull out bed. God dayum did I start getting tons of puss! These chicks started taking me out and buying me dinner. Meanwhile I just pretend to be broke af. Like not joking, I moved and I didn't tell anybody that I received retirement checks or anything. I even only drove a 2011 Crown victoria police interceptor. I hit those weights though. I have a bunch of guitars and guns as well but I don't think that really flashed money to women... it just added to my image. I dressed and still dress like I'm going on a hiking/camping trip. My balls are so free... ask me to wear a tight t-shirt and I'll ask you to kill yourself.

The bottom line... get ripped. Sure you can blow all your money on chicks, but it's not a thing when they blow their money on you!
The chicks I started getting were better too. They had jobs, and they even had hobbies! You know how amazing that is? 9 times out of 10 a woman literally does not have a hobby or any interests outside of watching stupid "love" movies that are like soft porn without enough of the fucking.

Now I'm married... if she goes broke I come up with just enough to get by and tell her I killed somebody and slashed a bag of lyme and burried them in the woods. Dudes, just get buff... don't try to attract chicks because you have money... because you will attract chicks that just want money. Sure you'll still get sex but you'll be looking at her going down on you, with her not really enjoying it and treating like a chore and know, she's only there to help pay off her rent and college debt.

Just here to see all these “always exceptional” women respond in direct contrast to the vast quantity of quality research available on this particular matter. Ell oh ell! It never fails to amaze me!

These results are typical, not anomalous. There are dozens of responsible studies available, current and past. Women prefer men who earn more than them, and they always have. It’s important to note though that this isn’t one of those one-sided biases. Men typically also prefer to earn more than their women. Which is one of the reasons i find it curious so few women can be honest about this matter in mixed company. This is literally one of the few things we usually agree on, but somehow women have convinced themselves that’s a bad thing. Ell oh ell!

I make more than the median in my country. I'm pretty used to earning more than my partners.

It doesn't matter to me if my partner (if male) doesn't earn more than me.

It does matter that they're gainfully employed and can contribute equitably to our financial situation.

To me, a job is about more than just money. Whether it's their own company or working for another, holding a job means the person is probably able to do what they need to do to be a responsible person. Their passion for it can help me assess their ambition and creativity. Their dedication to it is a good indicator of how they handle commitment and responsibility.

No as long as they can provide for themselves and come by it honestly.  Don't people get, a person's financial situation can change? From bad to good or good to bad..

Pinay_ako · Answer

Nope. As long as I know he’s working hard, making clean money and not doing stupid shady shit, he has my respect.

Summeroflove · Answer

Gold diggers are. Lol. Not most women. Honestly some women might be good women and have some standards. But. Find whose into you dude.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

I would say they are. Most women want men on their level or just above them in terms of aspiration, ambition, work ethic, style, etc.

So if you have a woman that has a master's or a PhD like many are getting these days and a guy has anything like a master's, bachelor's, associate's degree, they more than likely won't be to keen to give him a chance or stay with him long. If she does give him a chance, she will more than likely expect him to get into a position where he makes just as much as she does or get a better education, otherwise she will look for a man that does have what she wants in a partner.

I broke up yesterday with my boyfriend mostly because of this; he has a very low paid job, lives as roommate in a trashy flat with 4 other people, doesn't drive and doesn't have any ambitions because he's pretty much bad at everything. He is also 10 years younger then me and doesn't know how to cook or clean. I, on the other hand, earn a lot above average, have my own house, a car, a pet, I cook, clean and all. We tried living together for a week and it felt like having a teenager child, not a boyfriend. Good riddance.

Those who say no are liars. Ironically, in a system that is catering to a woman's vagina 24/7 more and more women out-earn men and gain positions of power just for having a pussy. We can expect this to become the new norm in the near future, accompanied by an ever increasing number of woman who rely on anti-depressants, struggling with the fact that they have become cute men and not even the top 1% of men would be interested in them. I've had dozens of different jobs and the women were always making more than me while working less hours than the men. Today I have a high paying job earning more money than I ever imagined I could earn in my life and the women of the company are still out-earning me because it's a company policy to cater to their vagina with special privileges and benefits.

Wow despite the very abvious poll of what women want its apparently just lies.

My lastest crush works in a supermarket while I'm aspiring to work up the corporate ladder till I'm on a happy medium. I dont want to become the boss boss, but it would be nice to maybe one day be the manager. But I couldn't care what money he makes so long as and equal proportion of our money goes towards things (if we're living together) then I don't care. Most women wants a man who can hold their own.

Guy13 · Answer

Every woman I have ever met... and i do not care what they say... wants a man with means as their Vision of Family and Life as a whole can not be fulfilled without it. No matter what they say, Money and Means are equated with Stability. It will be an issue on the front end, in the middle (we don't have enough), and the back end often leading to divorce. Money matters along so many fronts and don't buy anything different because the Costs can be exponential...

JDavid25 · Answer

I don't think women necessarily care about the money (they do but It's not the first thing on their mind).. At least decent women which is most I presume... It's the ambition that got men to make all that money.. It exudes confidence and that the men will be capable providers if the situation called for it..

Emiliamazing · Answer

The last time my husband and I made close to the same amount was 2004. I have an advanced degree and my career has taken bigger responsibility and financial leaps than his. We have been married almost 20 years and are both proud of our successes and each other. I think it goes both ways,

Katyalov · Answer

Eventually I want a family, so if he doesn't make enough to provide for his family, yes that’s sort of a deal breaker for me. Also I’m not the typical man hating feminist that most women are these days, I still believe the man is the provider, the ultimate bread winner, and I’m not wearing the pants in the marriage.

melanieeeB · Answer

Nope it's just important for me that he (like every other grown up person) can financially support themselves! Like that's a must, but everything above.. I really don't care

MikeInHawaii · Answer

I have often been amazed by how many gorgeous, otherwise intelligent women I know who gravitate towards losers. I don’t respect gold diggers, but I understand them! I will never understand women with the lost puppy syndrome jumping from one project man to another.

Nalix · Answer

Obviously not all of them, but we should all want our spouse to be competent and talented. My wife for instance, married me when we both had basically nothing. What we made, we made together, but she could see that I was driven and wanted to work.

This_Is_My_Opinion8 · Answer

Surprise surprise most women said no.
Guys stop believing the stupid shit your grandfathers taught us. Doesn't work like that anymore. In fact it only did in their time because the women needed us to survive because they lwere not even legaly allowed to have a bank account!

affectioncrave · Answer

I'm not attracted to materia. I'm attracted to the person.

erandal · Answer

I'm not and I earn more than my SO by a significant margin. I married him for what he could bring to the relationship as a person, not financially. He is a part time teacher and 'house husband'.

TruthBringer · Answer

If they weren't, then this question wouldn't be asked. I can bet my arm that more than half the women here who said 'no' are lying to us or even to themselves. The truth is, women find men who earn less than them a turn off. And men know this. Hence why men are pressured from a young age to keep it pushing.

VanessaValentine · Answer

Men who are successful are more attractive. Let me just say if I was a guy I would be turned off on girls who couldn’t cook had narrow hips for child birthing and we’re loud and bitchy. It goes both ways.

jhl_x · Answer

That's one of the things I see a lot of people say that it doesn't matter, but I've never seen people say this outside the internet. The saying "women don't date down" doesn't exist because of nothing.

Slartybartfast · Answer

Broke men are simply invisible to most women. If they are noticed at all they are placed in the "friends only" category along with short men, bald men etc etc.

Women's standards are so high these days you need the James Webb telescope to see them.
