Ladies would you date a man who made considerably less money than you?

Question

Rosexøxø · Accepted Answer

Yeah I would. I am supporting myself at the end of the day. To be a fully functional adult in society I have to have my own income to do that. An income* ☝️ not a man or man’s income. I need the man for other things lol.

If he’s a good person and in the career he wants then I don’t mind dating him. Cause why is he making less? Is it laziness, lack of ambition, low end job settling? If he’s doing what he loves and works for HIMSELF then he’s healthy in society too and I won’t have to mother him. I’ll date a guy with some figures below mine. I just don’t have the heart to be with anyone who doesn’t know what they want or sitting all day instead of going to get it. 👍 I need someone on my level 🧠 🔝 💪

I already do. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. He still covers the bills that he's responsible for and still finds ways to get me the sweetest and thoughtful gifts. I really lucked out with him.

Simslover92 · Answer

As long as he's performing well in other areas if you get my drift lol

No on a serious note I would if it meant that I was treated well and he offered me everything else I'm looking for in a relationship.

I've dated a few women who had more money than me. . . but I still paid for everything on our dates.

Puppystarfish23 · Answer

Depends on the situation. If he was earning less then me because he didn't have much work ethic and didn't want to push to do better to support a future family definitely not.

My husband has earnt less than me before but that was because he was self employed at the time and i supported him and stood by him even when he was really struggling. He has a passion for gardening and was even working 3 jobs at one point just to get us a mortgage. His business partner fucked him over big time but I still stood by him because I know he's extremely hard working and it would all figure it's self out.

Now he's a head gardener and earning twice as much as me and I'm so proud of him. My mum always told me to never marry for money as that was something her mother tried to push her to do and instead marry for love.

I've learnt but if you love a man and he loves you too. You will both stand by each other in the good and bad times and support each other and wealth will find you. My husband works his arse off because he loves me and wants to give me better things in life because he knows I was there supporting him when he had nothing.

well, her businesses did

this wasn't an issue at all... but (as per the picture you used) I wasn't broke or anything like that, my business was just starting, lol

Why would you ask such a question? It's futile. No woman is going to give you the straight dope on this. No woman wants to believe she's a gold digger, even if she is a gold digger. Every woman wants to believe she's in it for love. But all of that has to do with a mix of factors which may not actually have ANYTHING to do with love.

So the answer to this question will be "Yes". But the real truthful answer could be ANYTHING.

Make no mistake about it though. In the modern sense the amount of money a guy makes is a significant measure of him as a man to a woman. No woman in her heart of hearts can say it doesn't affect how attractive she finds him and be honest with you or herself.

I'm with a man... not his wallet... as long as he pays his bills and lives independently i don't care...

NicholasRedone · Answer

@coachtanthony imagine if I dated a barista and I made more than her ( or just ) more.  Working class folks stick together 😁 💪🏻

Loverofwisdom · Answer

Depends on how much money I'm making. If I'm a millionaire and he makes 60,000 a year then sure.

If I barely make ends meat and he makes a lot less... I might date him but if he was not making money due to being irresponsible then no.

FoxyFatale · Answer

I don’t care about who makes more as long as we’re both working toward something and have similar values. It’s about the connection and how we treat each other.

emeraldsaphire · Answer

Sure, I wouldn't care. Most of my partners have always made more money then me, but I did date one guy who made less at the beginning of our relationship.

Ninania · Answer

It's almost impossible to make less money than I do (at least in my country). I'd rather date someone who manages their money well regardless of how much they make.

Shiprex · Answer

My first real girlfriend after university was a clinical psychologist and earned a bit more than I did and we shared everything equally though she ended up buying a house on her own and not with us so I think that was the signs of parting ways. 8 years in the end

Justneedtokno · Answer

If he’s actually putting an effort to date me like trying to come up with dates or actually carry on a conversation, there’s specific reasons on how you do these things. There’s a show called Martin He put an effort.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Nah if he can't afford to hangout with me he's better to focus his energy on work.

wynning · Answer

Yes if he's genuinely trying his best. Ideally he makes enough to cover himself but if I make considerably more than him it doesn't matter

SmileyLady · Answer

A man who made considerably less than me would be homeless, so no. Otherwise, yes.
