Girls, Does money, educational background and status matter in dating?

[Anonymous]

Yes it does

No it doesn’t

[curious_gul]

money: yes and no, we don't want a filthy rich man, we do if there's one, but we might marry a poor guy too as long as he can provide a good life for our kids, a roof above their heads, tummy full, dressing well,... And why not a car if he can afford it.
Educational background: to me it's a yes and no too, I don't want degrees, a PHD o any other one, if he has then good if not, he must be smart ofc well educated and mannered, by well educated like he might be the type that reads books, watches informative stuff.. to me a degree doesn't define whether someone is smart or well educated or no, we've seen so many of nerds who only learn their lessons by heart get A s but when they face the real life they can't handle it...
I can keep talking more and more but let's stop here.
NB: I'm not saying if you're a nerd then you can't face life's challenges... Absolutely not, but they're are some nerds who simply can't because they never went outside or looked beyond the "educational system's" lessons and books, they're limited to what they're school or uni tell's them to study.

status: Not necessarily.

To an extent, yes. I am okay if the guy makes less money than me, for example, but he has to be successful enough where he is able to support himself. Able to afford a car, food, and a decent place to live. So if he is completely broke and doesn’t have the drive to fix it, it’d be hard no from me. As far as education goes I want someone who paid attention in school and graduated high school, but college isn’t as important. You can be both successful and intelligent without that. Just have to have marketable skills but those can be attained in different ways. As far as status goes someone that is likable, reliable, and leaves a good impression on people. Someone that doesn’t get into trouble, but they don’t have to be that guy that everyone looks up to either. Just someone average.

depends how old you are (and/or the girl is), the background and stuff of the girl, and their individual personalities. personally i just turned 23 and i couldnt care less cos at my age everyone is broke and its not like i'm gonna get married anytime soon. now if i was 30 it would matter to some extent, cos at that age if you date and it sticks you're gonna get married + have kids with them. at that point if the dude is broke it's a problem. though here was mainly talking about money. dont care and probably won't ever care about the education. status is a little plus but dont care much. its just the money that could matter eventually. and by money i'm not saying the dude has to be rich. middle class is totally good. just maybe not broke (in the future)

[LittleMelissa9614]

Honestly, no. It doesn't matter how much money he has in the bank, as long as he has a good/steady job and he's financially stable to support me and future kids, that's enough. Love is more powerful than money. I wouldn't care if he never went to college and got a degree. As long as he has a high school diploma or even a GED, he can still get anywhere in life. Why would any of that matter in a relationship? I will love my future husband for who he is!

[Asker]

What if he earned less than you?

[Altheavas]

Educational background:
I seek someone with a strong intellectual foundation that surpasses mine, valuing intellect and knowledge. I aim for intellectual stimulation, growth, and encouragement in our interactions.
Money:
Financial stability is essential, with wealth being a bonus, but reliability as a provider for our family is a priority.
Status:
While status tied to net worth isn't crucial, maintaining a positive reputation matters to me.

It depends on the woman. I've known brilliant men that aren't highly educated and dumb men that have PhDs. As far a money, if a woman wants a family, she is looking for a man who works, at least. Some women just give birth and go back to work right away though so I guess a househusband would be fine for them.

Educational background doesn't matter to me, but money does to a certain extent.

I don't like wealthy people, so I wouldn't date a man who was rich. But obviously I want to be with someone who has a job and a steady income.

[IslaTheWitch]

You can't talk, flirt or laugh with money or status. Educational background could be a plus in some situations, but let's be honest: we date a human. And we are interested in human traits.

[Anemone978]

Well if I was dating.. it isn't too important as long as the guy has a good personality, is good looking and he is not living in a box it is all good.

[nastyb]

it does. financial problems are one of the leading causes of divorce.

educated parents tend to raise more educated children.

educated parents tend to make more money.

[MissStrawberry912]

Somewhat. Prefer someone who I can rely on, intellectually connect & learn from, and we can mutually support each other

[Minahh]

To an extent of course it does nobody wants to date a homeless lazy man

[serious_miss419]

He doesn’t work while he has his grade 12 and lives with his grandparents or parents, then yes 🙌 to your question

[Anonymous]

Yes out of personal preference I'd rather a man who has something to teach me and show me.

[Akam93]

Well no one wants to date a lazy man who's to lazy to work.

[Sasha0426]

I have no intention in dating.

[haana]
