How much money does a woman need to make in order to date you?

Question

CalmUntilAbused · Accepted Answer

Well... Regarding women, I'd be more concerned about how much she spends and what does she spend money on. It would sure be a bonus if she had a job that she would not consider a curse, but this would only account for a proof that she's not of the entitled type and that if I died in an accident, she would be somewhat capable to raise our kids on her own. If she checks all my boxes, I'm mostly fine with the Japanese financial model for the family (though given how depraved the Western laws are, I would not yield full control over the finances to my wife - instead, I'd give her an  in blanco  approval for any purchases regarding household needs). Thus, provided that all the above conditons are met and my salary is enough (and even if it isn't now, it's pretty likely to become so), I would be perfectly fine with my potential wife earning exactly $0.00. Now, some of the boxes to be ticked that are related to her spending are: She is not a shopaholic, with no control over her purchases, She is not a narcissist, spending ludicrous sums of money on clothing and "beauty products", She is familiar with the idea of saving/investing and has experience with at least one of those, She does not have unrealistic expectations for my own salary (with the meaning of "unrealistic" changing in accordance with the economic outlook - if she is familiar with the concept of saving, she most likely checks this box, as well).

Enough to pay her bills. Men don't care about how much a woman makes beyond that. We care about other things. Plenty of men would have no problem dating or even marrying a cashier or a waitress if she had the things that matter to us, even if she is barely scraping by.

Let's say you are very sick with a tropical disease, and you need a doctor, and you have two to choose from. One is a very wealthy plastic surgeon, and the other is a poor doctor from a tropical country with lots of experience with tropical diseases.

Would you pick the plastic surgeon just because he has money? No! His money is irrelevant because he can't offer the things we value. That's what men think about women's money - it's largely irrelevant.

None for both men and women. I have my own money.

Avicenna · Answer

For a serious, committed relationship, it's about her overall financial situation, especially her spending habits and overall money management skills. For something more casual, she just needs to make enough money to support herself.

AviatorTom · Answer

There are more important things than money in determining whether to date someone.

Finchie40 · Answer

Just enough to support herself

OlderAndWiser · Answer

She should be self-sufficient.

Wetdreamz · Answer

That's only one part of the equation. I don't care how much she makes on its own but rather what kind of lifestyle does live considering what she makes.

If she makes little but traveling and experiencing different things every week, I'll know i won't take her seriously.

If she. makes little, and is in huge debt, I won't take her seriously either

If she makes X and lives with in her means, we good. Then, I'll expect that continuing a lifestyle that is not to far greater than what she already had we good and when she does something above what a girlfriend should naturally do in the first place, that's when I'll reward her with something that maybe something she wouldn't gave typically been able to experiencing prior

Phoenix98 · Answer

I don't really care about a woman's money or how much or little she makes. So long as she can pay her bills then that's enough.

A woman's finical success is largely irrelevant to the vast majority of us. And it's by far the least important thing.

When I look at potential romantic partners money is never on the list of things I look for I don't look to women for security physical or finical I can provide that for myself. What I look at are the actual important things, values, morals, her character, personality, do our goals and what we want for the future align? etc.

blueonblack22 · Answer

Simple. Enough where she isn’t dependent on anybody to live a decent life.

Problems arise when 1) she expects men to support her because she’s lazy and entitled 2) she wants to “date up” so she can live in luxury she didn’t earn

However there is a fair argument to be made if the woman wants to have children and the man makes enough to support the family. Being a stay at home mother is a respectable full time job. I see nothing wrong with a man supporting his wife and family if both parents want this.

RebelinSteel · Answer

I’ve dated girls at University, both when I was at Uni and later when I was working. Money should not come into it, as long as you are not funding another persons lifestyle. With previous girls I’ve dated I’ve been earning far more than them, where their part time job covers their uni rented flat etc. money is not an issue when dating, from some of the comments below some view it as a major thing, I wonder how many of them, then want a stay at home wife lol. For me when married, I expect her to have a career and be working.

HawkPerception · Answer

Don't care about how much a woman makes. The only thing that matters to me is how much chemistry she has with me.

On another note, I'm completely okay with having a stay at home wife or girlfriend. If that's the life she wants and I can afford it, I don't mind that at all. However, at this point in my life, I'm financially unable to support a dependant, so the girl has to make enough to provide for herself if we can work.

Somoneelse · Answer

Enough to just pay her bills and live a regular live. I don't care if someone is rich, but I do care if someone is poor. Especially by choice because that means that person has poor money-management and will most likely drag you into shit as well or use you as an ATM.

I believe most true men don't care about how much money a women makes as long as she works and has a regular income to support herself financially.

bolverk · Answer

To men there are more important things about women aside how much money they make or whether they own their own house/home etc, Women think that what men look for in women, is what women look for in men and they could not be further from the truth.

Anonymous · Answer

Nothing really. Most men are willing to provide. We don’t look to women for security. Whether that’s physical or financial security. The way a lot do women look at it is my money is my money while his mo Rubi’s our money. That’s sort of the reason why men don’t look at what she makes cause it’s of not benefit to men is most cases. Just be feminine, don’t be a headache. A lot of us like traditional women. Don’t come w a lot of debt or drama. Preferably no kids.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I really do not care as long as she does not get herself into financial trouble. I've dated attorneys who make mid-six figures who are always close to broke and girls who make under $40K (might sound like a lot in some places, but the median in my town is much , much higher) who have everything handled.

Anonymous · Answer

Well minimum 100-150 k, I earn 200 k per year and I am a manager software engineer, I have a certain lifestyle and I would like to share it with my partner.

I could also be with a less wealthy woman if I loved her, but I would rather share a common lifestyle.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

For me personally I don't care for that.

For men in general in particular if he makes a lot of money then these kinds of men like to be with women at least for serious relationships that make about or a little less than them because at least they know she isn't looking to cash in on his cash unlike a poor woman most likely will.

Miristheiss · Answer

I do not care about a girls income. I only care about her values, character, morals and is she attractive. Women care about a mans money I care that she has girlfriend or wife character.

DoggyDude · Answer

Agree with the other posters. It doesn't matter. It does matter that she's sensible with money generally speaking; Someone whos careless or seeks to spend others money is a huge red flag.

Peter_Penetrator · Answer

If only dating, her paycheck doesn’t matter. Same with a wife. But she needs to contribute financially to the marriage first. What ever she has left, she can do as she pleases. So it would be up to her to get a higher paying job.

Anonymous · Answer

Not much. I'm less concerned about how much she makes than I am about her attitude spending it. I'm a saver and investor. If we are not similar in this it's likely we'll never work as a couple. I've never made more than 50k a year in my life but I've always managed to save and invest at least 15% of my income every year since i was 25.

Luke_Warm · Answer

As a father of two, I made sure that my daughter had cab fare, a good balance on her pay as you go cellular phone and $100’’ in case her date bailed on her through the bathroom window and left her sitting with the cost of the meal. I would guess in total $150””

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Enough to where she is self sufficient. And not dependent on my income.

Afterall… women are all about equality and being independent right? Awesome!

Then she should be so, and not rely on others to survive.

Lionman95 · Answer

Enough to take care of her own and not to be broke when we date. I´m not dating a woman for money.

Flatmanlewis · Answer

A woman’s income is a nice plus, but so long as she’s self-sufficient I’m good. Her income is at the bottom of the list of things I’m considering.

David94358 · Answer

was never an issue what she did or how much she made, everyone I have ever dated I would always pay for the date so it was kind of irrelevant to me.

Juxtapose · Answer

Only enough to pay for her expenses so I don't have to take care of her like I'm her dad. I really hate materialism and don't want to base my relationship on money or material goods whatsoever.

BonzoInBitburg · Answer

$0. I don't care how much she makes or if she works at all.

MrDaveAPSI · Answer

At the moment, a lot. I haven't really figured out my life yet, so, if she wants to date me, she'd need to make a LOT. I have a little and make a good amount but, nothing near where I can be independent of my parents
