I would! My crush makes less money than me:)

[Anonymous]

I don’t want to date a woman who makes more money then me because I know eventually she’ll cheat on me or lose respect for me even if I work hard myself and make a decent living for myself. I feel like women who make more money their whole goal is to dehumanize, emasculate and ridicule men/guys, no thanks. I’d rather leave the western country and move somewhere alone.

[Spongebobssocks]

It's sad you see it that way but I understand where it's coming from. But those women are usually seen in the media. Not in real life.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh trust me, i've dealt with regular girls with that mindset off GAG, dating apps, in school, at work, etc. They exist, this is not just within the media of Kim Kardashian or other high profile women. To me, as a guy, I don't run on male ego/emotions to dehumanize others, especially women. I will give women respect if she is a boss, a CEO, a professor, a teacher, a police officer, whatever. But I feel like women in those positions like to push their power and abuse others with her authority. For some reason, if a guy calls out that behaviour, he's seen as an incel. What happened to freedom of speech? I guess that only applies to one gender. I'll be nice to girls I go to school with or work with or even with strangers but to want to date one, I just don't need that headache. This isn't the 90s where things seemed more authentic and care-free when I was a kid growing up bike riding in my neighbourhood, reading X-Men comics and playing video games with my guy friends. I look at this world and its cut throat and depressing.

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah i wish I grew up earlier than I did.. I understand you. I usually get a bad vibe from female bosses but it depends

[TheUniqueOne96]

Yep.

I'd prefer to have a woman so wealthy that I could work for her on ideal terms, lol or be a homemaker, so I'd still earn my keep.

[Avicenna]

Sure, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But money is relatively unimportant in a relationship, assuming there is a certain level of income and debt is at least manageable.

[Vegasrunner]

@Avicenna Finances are cited as the number one reason for divorce in America.

[Pinay_ako]

Yes I have and would. If he’s a good man with a good heart and treats me right. He’s mine

[Ames101]

Well I was about to say yes as long as he was still financially stable but then I saw the male comments whining about golddiggers among women (that they don’t have the wealth to worry about by the way) while simultaneously proving that they’re actually the real golddiggers and can’t get past money. Nah I wouldn’t actually, that wouldn’t be a good idea for women to do bc males have it stuck in their head that they’re some sort of oppressed victim of women who date for only money and then turn around and use this imaginary epidemic of female golddiggers as an excuse to be even worse than they already are to women. Instead of self reflecting and wondering why the only attractive quality about them could be money (which males want just as much, if not more) I be forgetting how broke males think n act, and think their insecurities and failures as good partners can always be blamed on women and money lmao. I’d like to point out rich males be consensually giving money to women to get female attention, they both get something out of it and the only reason guys get mad at seeing that is bc they don’t have the wealth to bribe people with. I’ve notice women who go out their way to date insecure broke guys bc they feel pressured by this “women are golddiggers” stereotype often get abused, cheated on and played bc the males aren’t held accountable for being bad partners, and just chalk everything up to money, not their personality. No thank you.

[Spongebobssocks]

I understand you and their side! I think they get that view from social media and not real life not realizing Youtube podcasts and Youtubes are just as much actors as actors in movies are. (At least most of the time).

Seeing the results there are more women who would date men that make less than their man then there is the opposite.

[Ames101]

Yea for sure, misogyny and harmful stereotypes about women are still promoted in everyday media and especially those male podcasts (and even some women’s podcasts, sadly) and it just causes misogyny to spread like crazy with the platforms these type of people have. It’s very harmful to women and sometimes males too bc every stereotype they push about women (being weak, emotional, all that) they then have to be the opposite. Males are their own enemy as well. And yea I agree about who women would date. Women have always been more empathetic bc we’re taught to be since we was little girls, males even be insulting us for it (calling us too emotional) when women empathize so much. Ugly guys get dates and get laid, broke guys get dates and get laid, as long as they’re not raging misogynists and even then the bar is very low for males, many women lack self respect as a result of all the disrespect towards them.

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah I agree. But I think this red pill thing is equally as toxic as feminism has become. Hopefully people will start realize social media isn't real.

[bamesjond0069]

I would in theory but not in practice. In theory it makes no difference to me. In practice the more a woman earns the less likely other aspects of her are going to be attractive to me. Since I'm high earning its even more so if she out earns me.

If she pulls 6 figures... there's no chance she's young. I've met some 6 figure women... in their 30s. I don't date women in their 30s yuck I can get younger women and so obviously I do.

Also I expect a woman to take care of the home. I don't do this 50/50 shit I'm not a gay. Women clean the house. So a woman who focuses on that stuff is not likely to be a 6 figure woman. I'll get with an unemployed 20 yo before a 6 figure attorney or doctor.

But in theory a 19 year old who banks 500k a year somehow while not working much so she can still be responsible for serving me dinner and laying out my clothes... sure I'd date her if I liked her. But realistically 😂😂😂😂 this is not an option that exists.

[Spongebobssocks]

Alright I see. Well it happens but its rare😅

[bamesjond0069]

Basically only girls who are left family money of some kind. Because even if she's famous she's working a lot which would disqualify her. She's got to make the money and still be available. I'm no house husband. No way no how.

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah I mean their are other girls but I think a lot of women that are working hard would much rather be housewives if they could.

The funny thing is you are describing Pearl Davis but she is the complete opposite evan tho she grew up rich😅 but I understand what you mean.

[bamesjond0069]

"Yeah I mean their are other girls but I think a lot of women that are working hard would much rather be housewives if they could."

I agree. But they don't set themselves up that way. You don't go to medical school and become a surgeon hoping to be a housewife.

Or they pretend they don't want to be a housewife even though they do. Girl boss independent boss bitch talk nonstop.

I generally don't date women who don't still live with their family. That's a woman who puts her cards on the table and takes the chance to live her life in such a way a man will take care of her. Super attractive.

But yeah there's only one Pearl. Lol. 🤣

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah but Pearl doesn't live with her family. She sleeps around.. is not married and is 26. Has her own company and super arguative🤣🤣🤣 its so funny. But its acting. I understand why you'd choose a woman that lives at home. But I doubt she would be in any club/dating app so finding her is harder

[bamesjond0069]

Yeah it's harder but that's what I look for. I'm perfectly fine being single and sleeping around myself. And I'll just say Pearl isn't my type. Lol

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah well I hope you find the perfect one for you soon:)

[EricSummer]

Yes, I would date a woman who earns more than I do.
It's just that it does not matter very much to me. It is important that she should have high education, but that does not always guarantee high income.
My girlfriend has a degree in visual art. She creates amazing socially-engaged art, but it's tough to turn that into money. If she achieved a breakthrough as an artist and raked in more money than I, this would not be a problem for me.

[Spongebobssocks]

That's sweet! I wish you both the best!

[asphaltrhymes]

I answered yes, but I also wouldn't mind dating someone if she made less money than me, the same money as me, or more than me. Lol. Besides, I could always be made unemployed or vice versa, lols, so I'm always a realist. But I'm not dating at the moment anyhow. 😋🥱👀😄

[misogynistic_pig]

This question is based on the assumption that men should look for women who earn less money than them, beforehand only stupid men do that, I would at least simply take money from a woman who earns more than me, and then I would divorce.

[Spongebobssocks]

haha damn... that's smart and pure evil

[jshm2]

Money shouldn't be the first issue when dating. Sure it needs to be talked about, but if you're looking for a relationship, then it's not going to be your first priority.

[Spongebobssocks]

Ill take that as a the first option for you then:)

[D_Bone_Steak]

I actually prefer women with more money than me. Guys like me want the cash and prizes... not to give them. 😂

[Spongebobssocks]

Haha that's great! Hope you find your rich wife!

[D_Bone_Steak]

Oh, I did alright and I haven't worked for almost 20 years now.

[Spongebobssocks]

that's nice! Congrats! You could teach men how to get a rich wife! It's not much content for that haha

[D_Bone_Steak]

It's gotta lot to do with the mentality of the woman. Societal norms or influences have to be removed first. Her parents hate it, and when a friend of hers starts jabbering in her ear about it it's up to me to set her straight.

It's music to my ears when she snaps back at one of them with something like, "Becky doesn't work and you think she's doing great, you just don't think it's right because my husband is a man." You should see the looks on peoples' faces as they really want to say how things are "supposed to be," according to them and from what they've been taught. Usually, the same chicks that will bring up the wage gap without understanding the only cure would be to force women to do things they don't wanna do. They wanna tear down social norms, but just keep everything that worked in their favor. 😂

[Nirghata_Vrishaghata]

Ex wife made 3x more than me. Was a non event.

girlfriend has 0 income. Also a non event.

[Spongebobssocks]

So would you?

[Nirghata_Vrishaghata]

I don't believe it's a big deal if she made more. If she makes less or as is current situation she makes 0 then it isn't a big deal either.

Most things in life becomes a big deal only if you choose to make it one.

[Spongebobssocks]

Okay cool! Interessting observation will see where that leads me by challenge:)

[FunkyMonkee]

I would, and have. The difference was, I wasn't interested in her money! She left me because I didn't have as much as she wanted me to. You know, a golddigger!

https://www.youtube.com/embed/GNB3WWkNVhM

[Spongebobssocks]

Really she told you that? Geeez thats harch. Hope you find a better woman soon!

[FunkyMonkee]

In a roundabout way. She said she wanted me to have the money to buy a house and a car. I can only GET money if I can get a job and those are nearly impossible to find!! Next thing I know, she's cheating on me with a guy who has a house and a car and gets his money from going through peoples' garbage and making "art" out of it and selling the photos of this junk to magazines! She left him a year later and went back to India!

[RangerBlue22]

It’s not the amount of money that matters. What matters if you make enough to be completely independent. You might enjoy lots of perks with a girlfriend/boyfriend who makes more money. Enjoy it but don’t depend on it or worse seek it out. That is what matters.

[Anonymous]

I never compare who makes more money. I simply wanna be with a guy that treats me good even if he makes less or more money than me doesn't matter expect his love and loyalty

[Opinion Owner]

Except

[Spongebobssocks]

Nice!

[Chthou95]

In general most women wouldn't date a man that makes less money. Which is why a lot of men wouldn't date a woman who makes more because she'll want someone to be making around the same or higher

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah thats true. Would you tho?

[Chthou95]

No because eventually she'll look for someone else who can meet her financial level

[Spongebobssocks]

Alright!:) makes sense

[razelove]

Hmm, too bad I can't hoe it up and be a house waifu by knocking up rich women and raising their kids. Something tells me it just won't work out that way lol

[Phoenix98]

Though I typically don't mesh well with most richer/well off people. I'd still give it a go though as there are a few I have gotten along with well with in the past

[zagor]

I have dated women who make more money than me. No problem.

[Spongebobssocks]

Nice!

[Anonymous]

It doesn't matter whether i would or not because a woman that makes more than me would NEVER even consider dating me

[Spongebobssocks]

That's not true. I know women who have dated men with no job/income. Or where the woman makes more. But I'm guessing that's a no from your side:)

[Opinion Owner]

Why would they bother? All men can offer is money, and no girl will settle for less when she can have more

[Spongebobssocks]

Because they truly love their men

[Anonymous]

I would date a woman that earns more than me but that would be one of the negatives with being with her

[Spongebobssocks]

okay why would it be negative?

[Opinion Owner]

I wouldn’t be able to do what she does. If she wanted to go someplace fancy on vacation, or eat out some place unaffordable or do anyone of a number different things that wealthier people like to do …. I don’t know even golfing at certain places can be expensive. I wouldn’t be able to hang and if the relationship got serious the money she has could become a point of contention.

[Spongebobssocks]

Alright yeah. Maybe she would pay for you then?

[007kingifrit]

divorce is highest if the woman earns more, no

[Spongebobssocks]

Alright seeing the results more men have an issue with it than women😅

[007kingifrit]

the divorce rates imply women are the ones with the issue

[Spongebobssocks]

yeah funny isn't it..

[elizamichale1]

Preferably i would date someone earning more but if i liked someone n he was earning less than me i wouldn't be bothered by this

[sheikalana]

I've dated men who make less money than me. I'm currently in a relationship where I make more money than my partner.

[lightbulb27]

of course. I don't care as long as there is good give/take sharing in the relationship.

[Anonymous]

Yes I would date and marry a woman that makes more than me, then I could be a work from home husband/wife.

[Spongebobssocks]

Nice! I hope you find her soon!:)

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Probably not. The last thing I need is some fucking woman trying to care of me like some little boy and telling me to save my money every time an expense comes up

[Anonymous]

I am a Ph. D. student and get rejected primarily because of money. Guys my age make way more money, and so are the girls. They don't wanna date me, mostly citing monetary reasons.

If you are a guy money is the most crucial attribute for you in dating. Girls think of you as some kind of lesser male even if you are more educated and have hobbies and talent. I have stopped dating till a permanent job.

[Anonymous]

Sure, I don't care whether she earns more than I do. I only care that she treats me respectfully and is willing to be a real mother to our children

[TacosRAwesome]

I wouldn't with my current situation. But if I made more, I would.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes, as long as she is not a "Makes $350K but spends $400K" type.

[TheSpaceGnome]

As long as she pays half the bills, I don't care how much she makes, be it more, the same, or less.

[htmndg183]

I would but it won't be because of her money. I have my own incomes to work with.

[alearningboy]

For me is no problem, she can have more income. The most important thing is if we are happy in the relationship.

[TonyMetal___86]

She ain't going to earn less or more cause if i had a girl than she's going to become a housewife!

[Cheerfull009]

I am man, I prefer woman with better income than me

[shades777]

No, from what I see woman use that as leverage to try to disrespect a man, I just find it odd they still expect you to pick up the tab for the date.

[Nahid1707]

I'm a man and I WOULD date a woman that makes more than me

[Spongebobssocks]

nice!!

[Nahid1707]

Glad you find me nice 😉

[Unit1]

Not a problem.

[Unit1]

Funny boy-flick for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjNX33W-99I

[Spongebobssocks]

👍🏻👍🏻

[Europa789076]

who cares, what matters is being the best man and woman together in the relationship that's all what matters.

[Anonymous]

Probably not.

[Spongebobssocks]

How come?:)

[Opinion Owner]

Because women are HIGHLY judgmental. I could get past her making more money than me. But she most likely couldn't. Also I'm a thrifty person. I'm not rich, but I'm pretty well off (because I'm thrifty). Most women are very materialistic. So we would NOT see eye to eye on this. And that would cause all kinds of problems.

[Spongebobssocks]

Alright I see. Makes sense.

Why be anonymous tho? Its completly fine I'm just wondering

[Opinion Owner]

Safety. If some people didn't get butthurt over an honest opinion I would. I have no way of knowing who is of sound mind. I prefer to post anonymously for safety sake. Besides it doesn't matter who's saying it if it's true now does it. 🙂

[Spongebobssocks]

👍🏻👍🏻

[RoastedToast]

Sure, it wouldn't bother me no

[BarryLiverstone]

For sure. Why wouldn’t I?

[Anonymous]

Yes but she would have to peg me

[Spongebobssocks]

What does that mean?

[Opinion Owner]

It involves a strap-on

[Spongebobssocks]

Hmm. Are you straight?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes I am

[Spongebobssocks]

So you are a straight man but you wanna get prenetated by a shape like penis.. that doesn't make sense to me.

So you would only let women do it? Do you like prenetating women too?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, it’s just a way to mix it up… it’s not gay it a girl does it.

[Spongebobssocks]

But its still an object shaped and to feel like a penis. Thats gay. Nothing wrong with it though.. maybe more bisexual.

Would you say you give off straight masculine vibes? Is it commen for men to want this?

[Opinion Owner]

It’s humiliating which is why I like it. I would say so!

[Spongebobssocks]

So you are more submissive?

[Opinion Owner]

Probably a switch but I fantasize about being submissive more

[Spongebobssocks]

Okay I see. That makes more sense.

[Opinion Owner]

From your perspective, does pegging sound fun to try?

[Spongebobssocks]

I would never do it personally

[Opinion Owner]

Never say never… what if your spouse really wanted you to

[Spongebobssocks]

Then i'd be turned off.. and deal with it different ways depending on how seroius our relationship is

[Opinion Owner]

What do you mean?

[Spongebobssocks]

Well if we are just beginning of dating I'd problaby break up with him. But if we are serious marrige with kids I tell him to do whatever sexual stuff he needs with others behind my back and make sure to lie/never tell me about the submissive stuff he does. As someone who is very submissive I need someone dominant. I can't deal with that..

[Opinion Owner]

So you would just want me to find another girl to peg me and not tell you?

[Spongebobssocks]

Yeah if we were just dating yes and if married with kids yes and stay with me and hide that part of you from me

[Opinion Owner]

Interesting… I’d do anything for my partner if she wanted it enough

[Spongebobssocks]

Really? If she really wanted you to shoot up a school would you?

[Opinion Owner]

Haha I was meaning sexually

[Opinion Owner]

Life is too short to not play out your desires

[Spongebobssocks]

So if she wants you to fuck a child infront of you, you'd do it?

[Spongebobssocks]

*infront of her

[Opinion Owner]

No, only legal things

[Spongebobssocks]

So then you wouldn't do anything. The opposite attracts. I'm submissive so I need dominance. Ofcorse you are okay with it cause you are also submissive

[Opinion Owner]

For example, if she wanted to suck my toes (I think that would be gross) I’d let her

[Spongebobssocks]

well thats on you..

[Opinion Owner]

There is give and take in a lifelong relationship

[Spongebobssocks]

yes and there is also a limit. I'm a straight woman... its kinda obvious I wouldn't want that. But there is nothing wrong with wanting it either

[Opinion Owner]

I’ll try anything once

[Spongebobssocks]

well thats you:) Thats cool I wouldn't

[Opinion Owner]

Fair enough;)

[shortster]

Sure, why not?
