Do men care if a woman has low paying job?

Question

Lets say she's just admin assistant

I think most men would prefer to make all the money and for women to stay home with children. It bares the most potential for a committed relationship, and for the best turnout for the kids. And it’s that man’s ideal place for her to be protected from any outside influences or pressures.

So long as women are going to work and put themselves at the exposure of countless men that would do anything for a piece of ass, it’s not ideal for the guys trying to hold down a relationship. It’s almost like her want to go clubbing but the “lite” version.

I get that people need to make money, but that’s why I said men make it all, and then women partner up with a suitable man and she focuses on her womanly duties.

Thats one thing I never understood… the women all want to get educated and work, until they’re 35, realize they never had kids and their window is rapidly closing, and then they want to not work at all, be provided for, and the world is not set up for that anymore.

It’s one or the other… I don't know why you guys put yourselves through the stress. Take some political action and make the world better for all of us. Because we men, need to work. We want to work. And we want to work to support a woman and children, but the way things are today, we are not getting any of that. We make half of what we should, and it’s getting worse not better.

Clearly we can’t have it both ways. Unless we suck the establishment c*ck and go to school so we CAN make more money, just to find out we lose our jobs to AI in 5 years and have insurmountable debt we can’t pay off. No thanks.

We have the fight of our lives knocking on our doorstep, and both men and women need to be ready to stand for what we truly believe in.

This is going to be difficult to write. Because I am not trying to be a judgmental of a religious group or nationality. I can only tell about what I experienced. I can only speak about the ones that I had to deal with and the ones that I considered growing rich from servicing. So , I will try to make this as broad as possible. Many groups still think that a woman's place is secondary to a man's. If she is able to support herself or succeed in business she is accused of moral misconduct. Even worse if she is a success in business, her husband, if she is married, will cut her off. In fewer word her husband reverts to a three year old. Instead of realizing what a treasure he is blessed with, he embarrasses both himself and his wife and his family. It sends many executive class women to the psychiatrist for therapy.

In some states of the union, the laws regarding prostitution are more lax than others. So much so that if a Psychiatrist writes a prescription for Sexual Therapy to supply what is missing from a woman's relationship with her husband, due to him withholding sex from her as a form of punishment because of her success in business. All she has to do is visit a Sexual Surrogate with the prescription. He provides the needed therapy and her husband's attempt at regaining control fails. So, to answer your question, it appears that men do care if their women have a better paying job than they do..

I'll say it depends on the couple. Personally, if you're with a partner for life, you'r pulling the proverbial cart together, no matter who makes what. Having said that, guys tend to have much more fragile egos than they like to admit, so yes, the "best breadwinner" title is something the guy will naturally go for bc he's looking for a gal that has the better skill set -- nourishing his heart and soul. It's not just a money thing, it's a skill thing. Primal "protector" mode only goes so far do them... and they often need protecting too. The gals need to stop being idiots and know that.

I could make big money as a matchmaker, a musician, a personality profiler, a fortune teller, or a copycat media plagiarizer. I do not make big money because I refuse to lie or cheat my way to riches.

ohsheeT · Answer

I can speak for any other man

But for me know you meet somebody that you like. She has a job if she's happy and content. That's what it's all about. She is who she is, and that's the reason why you like her and her job is her job and for me, I don't even think about that. I'm more interested in who she is. What kind of heart does she have? Is she beautiful person on the inside? Is she happy I don't care how much money she makes. I don't care what she does as long as she's happy. That's how it counts

ManOnFire · Answer

The vast majority of men do not care about that unless she's still not doing her part in the relationship i. e. helping to pay bills, buy food, etc. Those are things your classic textbook case high-maintenance American women are concerned about vice versa. Most men want a partner who is happy with them regardless of how much she makes, and they don't care if a woman has a college degree or ph. d either.

I know guys who have girlfriends that make way more than them and yet they still expect to be treated like princesses, having their guys buy them stuff, and will just leave him to pay for rent and everything. So I'll stick with the admin assistant making minimum wage.

HawkPerception · Answer

It's never mattered what job a woman has for me, and I'd say most men share those thoughts.

Women are generally the ones who care whether a man has a low paying job.

Although he was a little crude with his words, he's somewhat accurate. Obviously, not all women are like this, but a good many are.

My wife works in a grocery store. She likes her job and she is happy. That is all that is important.

Finchie40 · Answer

No, just as long as she is a worker and can financially support herself , is all that matters to me , because I want a partner, not a user

Avicenna · Answer

Admin assistant is perfectly honest work. Unless you think AI will eliminate all such positions, I can't imagine a guy would have a problem with dating a woman who was an admin assistant.

jshm2 · Answer

No. Just as I didn't care if she was richer. (dated both).

Not saying poor girls are better or worse, but they will not have the experience or etiquette of running in high class company. They tend to get insecure, if not out of their depth, pretty quickly.

I remember dating a middle class chick in uni back in the day. She was all starry eyed about a designer purse my sister had on the night out. Apparently it cost more than she made in a month... but her soul left her eyes when she was told it was among the cheaper purses in her cupboard full of purses.

Rangers · Answer

I'd hope to have stability and her have proper job benefits, yes, but the real world isn't like dating apps.

Nobody will be an ideal partner for as long as we fail to understand what we really need by getting hung up on checkboxes.

If she's poor but I love her, the second part matters and the first, considerably less. I want her to succeed more and for us to both push eachother higher, yes.

I'd only walk out based on occupation if it involves sexual acts with other people and/or nudity intended for others to see

blueonblack22 · Answer

It doesn’t matter as much to men as it matters vice versa.

But what really matters if whether or not a woman is looking to be financially dependent on a man. Especially if she has nothing to offer in return (besides sex).

Now if they get married and she has his kids that’s a different story. But there are still a lot of free loading women out there. It’s biological impulse women have that while natural can also be unacceptable if it’s about entitlement.

Anonymous · Answer

Not if she's a good person and we see eye to eye on money matters. I saved and invested my entire life so I would have passive income. As it stands right now 2/3 of my passive income pays for my living expenses. I figure in about 7 or 8 more years. It'll fund my living expenses entirely (of course that's dependant on the next 7 or 8 years. maintaining the avg. of the last 25 (which is NEVER guaranteed). But the point is as long as we are similar regarding money matters how much she makes isn't highly relevant.

by the way. Where I live the avg. Admin. Assistant make slightly above a livable wage here. I understand wanting to get ahead and all. But you're doing better now than I was doing at your age. Keep your head up!! You're not doing bad.👍💯

Hagar88 · Answer

No. But what i have seen is that a woman who marries and still has to work a low paid job resents her husband. Thats why id never get serious with a waitress, barmaid, barista, checkout girl, fast food employee because I worked with those women in my youth and have seen them cheat.

MrChinaski · Answer

The question for me is what are you pushing yourself towards? What are you achieving in life? What are you growing towards? What steps are you taking to achieve those goals?

Goals don't need to be career-related.

Regarding work, everything you do in life you should strive to do well. I expect a woman with that attitude and a good work ethic... her wage rate does not concern me.

emeraldsaphire · Answer

For the most part I've never met a guy who cares what I do. They don't even ask. I was dating the same guy when I switched from working as a waitress at the Olive Garden to working as an art director. boyfriend couldn't care less lol. I mean, he was happy for me because I hated the server job, but it didn't change anything.

RavVid · Answer

Not at all though I'd prefer a broke waitress as it is more a caring profession than admin.

Her qualities are of far greater importance than her $'s per hour rate. Men's mate selection criteria are different to women's selection criteria.

Calm, nice, caring is good to go.

Theunfadeable · Answer

Not really. The amount of money a woman makes is completely irrelevant to the vast majority of men because most men aren’t looking to women for any kind of resource provision. 0% of that money is gonna be spent on me so I it’s pointless to even think about.

Low Erner is fine as long as she’s not in a bunch of debt and perpetually broke.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on who he is...

If he is an ivy league educated man or a professional such as a doctor or lawyer, it is highly unlikely he would go for an admin assistant

If he is a garbage worker or construction worker or someone less educated, he would be more likely to accept an administrative assistant

People tend to date those of their own kind

Joshydavid25 · Answer

An Administrative Assistant can be a decent paying job TBH.. That's definitely not "low paying".. I guess like anything depending on the experience.. But, most guys don't care.. We don't look at what type of job the woman works to see if we wanna date her..

msc545 · Answer

Yes, I care because that means that she's been depending on the money earned by others and has no respect for herself. She is likely to be someone who is not only dependent on me but tries to take advantage of me in order to get money from me. I'm not going to do this.

MontBlanc · Answer

It depends on the person.

Some men might care because of societal expectations or personal preferences, but many value **character, ambition, and compatibility** far more than a salary. A person’s worth isn’t defined by their paycheck.

Chloe432 · Answer

They usually do not really care since they want to be providing for you to some extent or at least make more money than you. Some prestigious men will only date prestigious women but there's plenty that wouldn't mind your job

OneViewpoint · Answer

I care less about the money she earns and more about her initiative and ambition. Just show me you have some drive and a work ethic. Some curiosity about life. Show me there's somebody alive in there. Show me you're not some couch potato.

And they're low paying
Let alone meat factories and etc low paying jobs, more involving waste collection,

permanentem · Answer

Women spend 80% of a household's disposable income, so they either need they need to earn four times what their man earns or they need to learn to be frugal and stop spending so much money. Your spending habits should reflect your income.

Anonymous · Answer

Unlike the vast majority of women.. Men simply do not care weather or not she works let alone what kind of job she has.. Why women cannot grasp this is baffling. Men are different than women, we value different things. So your achievements mean absolutely squat to us. Be proud, but don't expect us to care.

Orion84 · Answer

Most men don't care, no. Men will marry a waitress if she treats him well, and makes him happy. We care more about the quality of woman, and her personality, than her paycheck.

slatyb · Answer

Mostly we don't. There are plenty of attractive intelligent people who are not in white-collar jobs. In Seattle I've meet many servers in restaurants and bars that I would love to date.

FreyaRed · Answer

I don't think they do as long as she is a hot mamma. Imagination blends out their logical thinking

MisterWack · Answer

I wouldn’t care, because how would I feel if I was looked down by my partner for making a certain amount of money.

molonski2 · Answer

Well frankly with the requirements put on males , they certainly SHOULD , it's hardly a one way street..

Purpleronnie · Answer

I have never factored a woman’s job / career into consideration other than it being legal and not porn related or adjacent and never would.

qwerty2469 · Answer

Some care. Men are just as likely to be gold diggers as women are.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I can't speak for other guys but no I don't particularly care whether she has a high or low paying job.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Not really. I care more she's good at her job

Anonymous · Answer

men tend to care significantly less about a partner's income than women do. Many men still hold traditional views where they see themselves as the primary breadwinners.

BCRanger10 · Answer

Probably not. A lot of men would prefer to make more money than their wives anyway.

uzumymw · Answer

Idc about it As long as she is happy with the job she has I can make the money

Physics-Man · Answer

I believe that the vast majority of men don't care about that. It's far more important for women regarding the prospective man as a potential provider.

bowenw · Answer

Not at all. What matters most to me is personality.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I think most don't care. More important things to a relationship at least a good one than a person's income unless that person is looking for a certain lifestyle.

Quigly · Answer

I would like to say it doesn't matter. However, If you can't take care of someone in sickness and health then you shouldn't make that promise at the alter.

Anonymous · Answer

No. I don't want her to value me for my income, so how could I value hers? Overall compatibility is most important.

DextroShade · Answer

The only men who care are losers and soyboys. The more masculine and successful a man is, the less he cares about a woman's income.

Jackblue · Answer

I think many men kind of prefer that to be honest.

Most guys my age don’t care. And rich guys really don’t care unless they suspect she’s a gold digger.

Yes but the only difference is they dig it from caves 😂.

fivebyfour · Answer

I would respect her work ethic, I would find it attractive,,,

tfan1 · Answer

I don’t. And an administrative assistant I think is a good job 🙂

JSmuve · Answer

Of course! How else am I supposed to retire early if she's not a high-earner?

dragoblack · Answer

As long as she has an income that meets base self-sufficiency as though she's living alone, thats all we want. Honestly it's base for all sexes.

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

Usually not, because most men still believe they should out-earn a woman.

Vegasrunner · Answer

No. Men are not like women. A millionaire would date a McDonalds worker if she's hot enough.

whiskeyontherocks · Answer

Largely no.  Personally I wouldn’t date someone that doesn’t have any work ethic

foxsquirrell · Answer

Not if she is hot and attractive!! If she is for a man its all that matters.
