Girls, How important is how much money a guy makes? (Page 2)

[Kylal412]

I would say it close to not making a difference but I always wanted a family and families cost money. Makes a shit ton of money is not important but being able to have vacation on occasion and going out to dinner and taking the kids to the fair or a movie is important. So having a decent job is a must for me.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

If that guy can support himself and contribute equally or proportionally to the household, I see no problems. I'm more impressed by the initiative and competence to successfully earn a living with your own company.

I voted other. It doesn't matter how much money he makes for me, what is important is paying for my basic needs and not being interested in how much I earn. Basic needs are shelter, food, clothes, medical care for me and our children.

If he can afford these and still not providing them, it's the same for me as if he can't afford them and I wouldn't be with him.

[Asker]

I think most guys aren't interested in how much girls make. I'm also more traditional in the sense that I think men should provide for their families. But wouldn't you say that a guy that's attractive to begin with, would be more attractive making lets say 500k a year opposed to 50k a year? It's not necessarily the money itself, but the freedom it buys. Not being forced to go to work on time or get fired, taking time off whenever he pleases because he's the boss, etc.

[Opinion Owner]

No, it wouldn’t matter to me as long as I don’t have to go to work if I don’t want to and he provides the basics. Other factors would play a role in my choice if for example two men both provide the basics but one of them earns more. Saving and investing habits are important too.

[Asker]

Okay and just for clarification. You're talking about a serious long-term relationship with kids right? You wouldn't expect a new boyfriend to pay for all your bills?

[Opinion Owner]

I wouldn’t have a boyfriend. I would date multiple people until I’m engaged.

[Asker]

So you're just going to skip the relationship part and go straight to marriage. I wonder if any sane man would propose while you're dating multiple people. Good luck with that.

[Little_Bumblebee]

As long as he has a sustainable income I don't care about how much he makes.

Do you know what's more important? How he spends his money if he's responsible with them and such. Whether or not he has debt etc.

[Pizaz]

I know there are girls who are genuinely attracted to money, I don't really get it. If he can use the dishwasher, washing machine and knows how to be a grown up is way more attractive to me 🤣

[Asker]

Let's say there's a guy you're attracted to before you even know what he makes or does for a living.
Would that same guy not be more attractive if he owns a business and makes 500k opposed to working a 9-5 making 50k? I always thought this was the case.

Obviously if a guy isn't attractive and all of a sudden a girl finds out about his money and then wants him, then that's a gold-digger but that's not what I'm talking about.

[Pizaz]

In all honestly, no... if I have to imagine being with a man, the amount of money he makes is not of major importance. Would I rather be with someone who is supportive, loving, makes me laugh, and all that jazz but it would mean we can't have all the material things? Hell yes!
Money makes somethings easier go sure, but in picking a partner, there are a whole slew of things I value more!

[BlueScorpio]

He doesn't have to make 6 figures but enough to make sure his family will be provided for if he's the main bread maker.

[Snsl153]

It's not important at all, because I already have enough of my own money. I don't need his as well.

[Haha456]

thats like asking does it matter if you dated a drop gorgeous girl or a plain jane?

ask yourself: which one is more attractive to you?

[Sarahshahy]

I can’t understand some who don’t have financial independence but still wish for rich men/women.. I think it’s better to be compatible even in terms of financial status.

[Asker]

I agree, but this question was focused on the money aspect. Assuming you're compatible, would the same guy be more attractive if he had financial freedom with his own business making 6 or 7 figures? It's not "wishing" for rich men necessarily, just asking if it would make the same guy more attractive.

[TacosRAwesome]

The average salary here is like €18000 at most so expecting someone to make 6 figures limits the pool by like 99%. That said, I dont want someone broke but he doesn't need to make too much.
