Do most men care if a woman is poor or successful?

[Anonymous]

Will most men judge you on how much money you make?

Years before, I'd say no. But having been married 10 years, it is important one marries within similar backgrounds. I grew up in a well educated family; not particularly "rich" per se, but my family places a high emphasis on education and continual personal growth. I have a four year degree and work in upper management.

My wife's family is opposite. They are conservative religious and closed minded. My continual learning perspectives towards life is often at direct odds with my in laws, who perceive me as a damaging threat to their family's spiritual well being. I am the sole provider for our family, loving father and husband; but I'm often demeaned, discredited or ridiculed for the purpose of confirming their biases. This conflict causes major riffs in our marriage which, had I fully understood beforehand, would have honestly made me reconsider our engagement. But, that's water under the bridge.

So I made it a priority to put my wife through a college education. She graduates in a few months and I'm so very proud of her. Yet this alone has been the source of criticism from her own parents and siblings who feel her primary "job" is to make babies, effectively stripping her of any source of intellect, pride, or individualism.

So, do men care? No, we don't. Should we? Yes.

no. a woman's job has no bearing on her attractiveness. it doesn't matter if she's a movie star/supermodel or she works at Walmart or she's homeless as long as she's pretty on the inside and outside.

a man who works at KFC or lives with his parents and plays video games gets frowned upon no matter what.

20 year old guys might not care but guys in their 30s or 40s do care if they want to stay in the marriage long term unless the woman has personal qualities he can't find in other women. When my cousin was in her teens her boyfriend only cared about her BMI and they broke up. Her new boyfriends don't even mention her weight - they mention her house keeping skills, her employment schedule, her social investment in the relationship, her courtesy and kindness towards his parents.

There are some men out there who do care. I learnt this after listening to the radio one time and this guy called in, complaining about how his girlfriend worked as a personal assistant and lived in a small apartment and he hated that she wore Target clothes. He basically expected and wanted her to get a higher paying job and a better apartment.

[Venting101]

Not sure what is with the person who disagreed with my opinion when I can give you the name of the radio station and you will even be able to find what this guy was saying on Facebook as there were quite a few post made about his radio call and what he said. Plus I have also met guys in person who do care about how much money the woman makes.

I judge small waist, graciousness, decency. etc.

[LiamJHayden]

As long as she is not careless with money, I don't care. I've known people who barely make above minimum who pay all their bills on time and have enough left for some fun, and people who make six figures who are always broke because they stupidly overspend.

[OfMiceandMen]

I'm not sold on the whole status level crap, or believe a person is only as successful as the number of possessions they have. If she doesn't make much money, but am really into her, I'm taking a chance.

I did that with my wife and those were some of the best years of my life.

Nope. That's something women care about, but men don't.

"Researchers have discovered that women are far more likely to find rich men attractive. However this isn't true in reverse, they say."

This is not a question that's answered with a simple yes or no.

Suffice it to say I'm less concerned with a woman's income than her view on money. If we don't share roughly the same philosophy on that it'll never work. But in general I despise people who judge people by thier income or education.

[chicosuave]

no we dont care about materialism in a women. we dont care if you have a degree either. we only care if you are nice, loving, feminine and caring. You could work at mcds, average looking we will still date you.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Nope. The majority of men do not care about income as long as you can pay half the bills when sharing a place with him.

[HighValue]

No. I'd just want someone with good compatible morals, an acceptable past, compatible long term life goals, has some hobbies in common, and is attractive to me.

listen i've dealt with women who had dead end burger jobs and dead end retail jobs and it was fucking embarrassing they had zero money management skills and zero none money investment skills it was pathetic even knew some who were unemployed and it was just as bad.

[Opinion Owner]

i would rather a woman work for herself or do some other line of work other then fast food crap or corporate retail like walmart or target shit those type of women 9 out of 10 times are bottom feeders bottom of the barrel garbage. if a woman works in a small local retail store then that's different that's ok because at least she's helping her local community and supporting small business owners even if it is retail.

[Opinion Owner]

if a woman is a stripper or does only fans or a prostitute then she's a piece of shit

[TJ1892]

They shoudnt, but it depends on the person and the situation all are unique and vary.

[Anonymous]

No, very few men care about that. We have other priorities. In fact, a woman who is very career oriented can actually be a turnoff sometimes.

[driven159]

the only thing I care about is that you work hard at your work then i will know you will work hard on a relationship too

[Anonymous]

The last important of the woman's quality is the capacity of making money. For me it only matters if she is hot, good in bed, and doesn't chat too much.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

No we judge by your looks and having money doesn’t improve your looks

[jimmy2]

I take women as they are it up to us to make good changes

[UniquelyBasic]

For what? Dating, sex or just in general?

[Asker]

Dating

[UniquelyBasic]

Well with anything some will care and some won't as much but overall I don't think most men care to a certain extent. I know some men are intimidated by women who make more than them and some might want a girl who's on his level or close to it.

[dudeinohio]

I don't judge

[Daviddd5412]

I don't care

[Dav1dTh0ma389]

Yeah
