40K a year is not a lot, but it depends on how smart he is fiscally. I’d prefer someone financially stable because it just makes life easier. Dating someone who’s broke and needs financial support would be difficult on me.
Really depends on where he lives, how he invests, spends, how much debt he has etc. I would not date someone that has a lot of debt, but I would date someone who is able to provide for themselves and if financially independent. If he is someone who spends lavishly and impulsively, I’d much rather not date him.. regardless of his income. I prefer men who are smart with their money.
No, they would not.
The average individual US salary is $36,000 a year, and the average individual household income (usually consisting of two working adults) is $62,000 year. So most men do not make this amount, you are right.
Many entitled modern women nowadays bring nothing to the table but their bodies, if even that. Only a few women now are interested in a man for who he is, as a person, rather than what assets she can exploit off him. REALLY wish things were different, but I've woken up from the blue-pill BS for a while now.
The women who say yes to this question - AND MEAN IT - may be decent quality women. Keep phrase being they "mean it."
and people be wondering why the west is suffering heavily from skills shortage and a labor crisis. nobody wants to do these jobs because they don't get paid enough at least in the case for men to keep a woman happy.
well at least 3rd world migrants are willing to do these jobs and their 3rd world wives are happy to stick with them through thick and thin.
I make more than that, but I would still stay with him so long as he is stable, good with finances, and works. As long as he has a job, that is what is important to me. Too many can't hold or keep a job and then complain it is society's fault when there is a labor shortage going on.
Work a cruddy job until you can find a better one, but at least be working is my requirement.

i can't see that happening.
It's crazy to me that if you word a question just right, you can find out how common gold digging is. But if you ask these same women if they are gold diggers they will say NO
But at the same time these same girls will be dating guys that don't live up to their standards. See what they do when their emotions get involved.
Right now their answers are all intellectual and no emotion.
But we both know that isn't how humans operate.
For if they did everyone would be doing a lot better.
No. What would I bring to the table? I would raise our children, homeschool the children, cook his meals, clean the house, support him in all of his ventures, and work part-time to help him or on a side venture if I wanted to. I can't do any of that if he is only making $40k a year. UNLESS, we live in a rural area and have a farm or something. I would be fine with that.
Difficult to say. Just Googled the conversion rate. And if what I found is true, that's about what I make, which isn't a lot at all.
I hope to get something better in the future.
But more than what he earns, it's more important to me what his relationship with money is. How he spends it, invests it. Does he have debt and why he has it.
Stuff like that.
His salary doesn't matter since I have my own money.
Can you link the stat that says less than 5 percent of men under the age of 35 make more than 40k?
Even If I would chose not to, I wouldn't particularly have to do anything special aside from being myself to date a man making more than 40k as all but 1 of the men in my life (friends and former partners) take home more than that.
Sluts, whores, achieved nothing with themselves wannabe prostitutes wouldn't stay with him. They think because they're attractive they have value when their only worth is for douchebags. As saying goes beauty is only skin deep, ugly (and they've ugly natures) cuts to the bone.
A real woman who has self respect, treats others fairly, etc would stay because she knows his personality means more than his wallet. There's also the fact he may get a better job and more money. A family friend started at a very low job when he was in his 20s... nowadays at 54 he owns 2 vehicles outright (no loan or lease) worth over 70k, has a limited edition classic worth god knows how much, owns his 4000 Sq ft house outright (no mortgage), owns his winter property in Spain outright, & has 3 rental properties. His wife & he met in high school when he waited tables.
His money doesn't matter there are other qualities in a guy besides money. How does he treat a woman, is he respectful? Loyal? Faithful? Willing to stay with her for better or for worse?, and of course if he is smart, mature, patient and stable with money then all should be good.
It depends. If we have a good relationship, I’m still working and we can both save and he’s a good man with a good heart who loves me then I have no issue with it. Just don’t expect me not to age if we can’t afford Botox and plastic surgery.
You can't even support a housewife on with 40k a year. Don't even talk about supporting the entire family. Reality is, people who make 40k a year don't end up having any children. Even if they do have children, they will suffer immensely.
That's higher than my standard for a guy so I have no issue there. If he wants to work and be the main provider on 40k, I'm happy with that. It's his decision and I respect it. As you said, not everyone can make ludicrous amounts of money. Most never will.
I ;live in a liberal , high tax state , one of the most expensive places to live in the world. 78000 dollars /year is the low income mark. I don't think somebody that makes 40K with no chance of advancement will have much luck.
If it means not having some man trying to put his dick in the crack of my butt in the morning and not having his money and dying alone, so be it.
No way! It would have to be adjusted for inflation, or we wouldn't be able to buy a loaf of bread.
If he was good to me and respected me then yes I would. It wouldn't matter how much he made. I am more than capable of working too, and we can pool the money we both make together, and we'd be just fine. :)
That’s fine. Idc about stuff like that. I know you’re gonna say I’m young but I bet I still won’t care that much in ten years either.
Will you find someone who will date and marry you? Yes. However, the pool of women who will find you attractive and date you best on 40K a year is going to be smaller than if you worked out and had more money. Most women judge men based on competency, fitness level, and income first, then personality. That's just the way of the world.
All depends on his attitude towards his salary. Would he resent me for making more. How would that effect out lifestyle.. Does he make good financial decisions. Will he be opinionated or judgmental on how careless I am with my money
40k is more than enough for him to cover his 1/2 of bills so no issue there.
I don't care how much money they make as long as they can look after themselves etc
Sure, I make a good salary as a registered nurse so I don’t need a man to support me. If he’s a decent guy and we have good chemistry that’s what my focus would be on.
