I have yet never met a girl so far who cares about a guy's talents/qualities/skills other than the money they have.
If you earn a good amount of money, some so many women will not care about anything of your character, whether you have any hobbies or anything.
It was the norm in high school and college and so far now, irrespective of a girl's attractiveness. I have always seen money as the sole dealbreaker/matchmaker in almost every relationship.
Many of my guy friends got married recently or several years ago, and none of them can cook, clean, or have any real hobbies or talents in anything cultural. Yet they married lovely girls who do everything for them. Of course, don't think I am jealous of them or hate them, I am happy for them. They got enrolled in jobs and earned for families, either after high school or after college.
I am a graduate-level researcher and only live on a Ph. D. stipend and that's always a dealbreaker for everyone. Just after merely knowing about my status I get ghosted, blocked, or never a second date. I know I can't afford lavish cars, high-end apartments, expensive holidays, or restaurants may be one day.
But I have many great talents and hobbies I am an excellent cook, write stories and poems that get published, play some instruments, and can hold a conversation about many topics and so much more but never seen any of the single things that matter to any girl ever.
Even if I know that I will make a good amount in the future, I hate the idea that as a guy all of my identity is solely based on the money I make.
What Girls Said
Well, at least you can do something to improve your identity. Women are just born either attractive or unattractive (the main thing that guys care about). I tend to care that a guy at least has a minimum wage job and is a nice, caring empathetic guy, whereas men don't waste nearly as much brain power trying to figure out if a girl is the caring type on the first few dates.
To be honest, I beg to differ, has seen even unattractive girls by social standards have multiple men after them. Fat, short or ugly doesn't matter, now you can say maybe they cannot get the hottest guys but still can get way more guys in her bracket than men on her level. In college actually, the less attractive girls were with more guys. That's not my judgment, just an observation. However, I have always seen money as the dealbreaker for women. Most women of my age have jobs, they just hear that I am doing research, immediate block, or ghosting.
I care about stability, not how much he makes. If he has good credit, can take care of his self, live on his own (not with parents.)
If he makes a million dollars a year but has ten million in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy, that is a deal breaker for me, but he could make 40 or 50k a year and have 830 credit score, low or no debt and I'd go for him.
Yes. If the boy isn't patient with my dumbass or has a 0.5 dong, i'll take money over him.
