Depends on the guy. Some people are shallow but do you really wanna be with those kinds of people anyways? I've been with women on both ends of the spectrum, and can honestly say some of the wealthier women I've been with are actually less happy then the ones making a moderate income. There generally more insecure as well.. My ideology is take up a job which makes you happy regardless of the money you'll make doing it. That's the true key to happiness... Anyone who has to make a huge issue out of wealth and social standing is clearly overcompensating for something...
I think its slowly becoming more important but men generally don't care. If a girl is pretty men are going to want to date her regardless of her social status. Although having a higher social status for any gender is more desirable because it can make them look impressive in terms of skills
If he really likes you, he will love you for who you are. I was just a customer service rep when i met my husband. We got married and I was just a teacher assistant. We saved every penny we could and invested as much as possible in stocks and mutual funds, and because of that i am able to be a stay at home mom!!
I quickly went through most of the answers here and felt that a lot of people that responded were talking hypotheticals and have not answered your question honestly.
Your observation is actually quite spot on! Men are just as conscious of their counterparts as women are. They too look for women that have a social standing that's greater than theirs and/or at least equal to their own.
It also makes sense why this is so and I personally feel it is to prevent the amount of compromise there will be in the said relationship.
There's two things you can do to avoid being a victim of this dilemma. Either lower the expectations you might have from a prospective SO and/or raise your own standards.
Best of luck with everything!
In my opinion it is al about how you handle it. If you think it is a deadend job and aren't happy with it, then yea I wouldn't really like that. But if you love your job and strive to be the best at it, try to give it your own twist, in other words you own it, the I would love that. It's all about living life with passion, so in other words attitude.
I don't really care. For me compatibility, shared values, comparable sex drives and attitudes about sex, relationship goals, personality, etc. are far more important. As long as you are independent and aren't looking for a guy to rescue you, then you are fine.
Honestly, who cares? a job is a job at the end of the day. Long as you can pay your bills and treat yourself to lovely things from time to time, or cares what your job is? someone has to do the "Shit" jobs like... cleaning loos, emptying street bins because no one else will. If a man doesn't like you for your job then he's not worth being with.
It doesn't matter.
As long as they are happy with what they do and who they are is more important than other things, like their job or social status.
If I'm with someone, I'm with them for who they are, and not what they do for a living and anything else like that.
You seem to be mixing career and salary with social standing.
Career and salary of a woman are nice to have as they add to his own income.
Social status is more about viewpoint, aspiration and outlook on the world, perhaps connections and friends. This is potentially more important.
Depends on what they believe in and/ or their personality. My family doesn’t earn a lot of money like in the past. However, I still own nice things (designer brands like Louis Vuitton, Goyard, Chanel, etc) I also have a good education. However, I live in a small house. My boyfriend is beyond rich, he doesn’t judge me at all. He is really respectful. Therefore, it depends on the person. But there is nothing wrong working at a bakery
This is because he might be interested in you and your love. If he wasn't rich , trust mr honey things wouldn't have turned out so well as you have portrayed
It depends on their beliefs and where they come from. If you work in the bakery, then what is the problem? It's not like you work in the sex industry. Then that would raise red flags. It's best to start as friends and get to know each other. Don't just jump up to anybody who finds you attractive. Because they are only coming you because you're a pretty face. That's it.
No, its finally getting better. It is very hard being a man as well with all the tons of extreme pressure to quote-unquote man up and take it like a man and blah blah blah blah blah Macho bull. Trust me I'm a guy who can roll around with those guys and tell you what they don't like it because I stand up to them and challenge their mentality and brainwashing. I understand the purpose of it. But we do not need that anymore. What is the measure of a man is basically the question you're asking time old question. Good news is if we don't evolve and adapt we die so people with closed minds and Hearts by ignorance will fade away as long as we keep pushing forward with love and like understanding and love.
But women also need to remember next time to call a man out or put him down they're setting themselves up to fail because they're countering and making it harder as well
The world thinks like that may be , but why do you care...
There are some people who will look for the human within you and not the job that you are doing...
And honestly there is nothing embarrassing about it... infact you are doing great... at least you are independent and lead your life... may be aim higher for the future but don't underestimate your present...
There are good people out there as well😊
Best of luck
Personally I don't care really. My first LTR was with a girl who was from a dirt poor family and didn't even have a job (we were young at the time, she did end up getting a cashier job ) She ended up being a dud but the fact she was "lower class" didn't factor into anything really. I will say, a determined hardworking woman is attractive regardless of where she is in her path of success.
If you make enough to take care of yourself and leave a modest savings then you are golden.
Men don't really care much about a woman's status or financial security. As long as she can take care of herself then she is good enough.
That being said. Men put more weight on the woman's looks than her income. They also put more on loyalty and hard-working mentality.
I care, but It's not all about your actual job or how much money you make, it's more to do with your upbringing and what you've been exposed to throughout life.
Do you feel comfortable in corporate worlds that those people reside in? Would you feel at home mingling and conversing at gala dinners?
I'll put it this way, you have a better chance of snagging a guy with a higher social status than you, compared to a guy with low social status trying to get a woman with higher social status.
Your looks are super important as a woman. Then it comes down to how kind and sweet you are. You can trade these qualities for a guy who is smarter and makes more money than you, but isn't very good looking, for example.

I'm not here to sugarcoat things. That's what anonymous websites are for :)
If you have something constructive to add you're welcome to.

My post was meant to help the OP. If this bothers you, then you don't have to do it. Problem solved.
@gguy767
I'm helping HER, not whoever she will (hypothetically) end up dating. Which I am not obligated to do anyway.
And newsflash everyone is shallow and fake when it comes time to choose their partners. Men included. So toughen up.
@gguy767
You can keep thinking you know better than a 29 year old. Ok I'm done with this now.
This for MHO. You are spot on.
Women are hypergamous prostitutes.
@bbb10 women naturally want the best possible mate just like men though both have different standards for what we want in a partner. No reason to be mad about that.
That would just be a reason why I am right. Women don't settle for broke unemployed men, the man literally has to pay, it is prostitution.
@bbb10 I've never had too pay but then maybe i use the right bait
@bbb10
We can go around insulting each other. So if women are hypergamous prostitutes then men are thirsty johns. Or we can just accept that this is the way things are and move on with our lives.
O sorry for us being sexually attracted to the opposite genders body and actually being heterosexual. Men are johns because they have to be, who would want to pay if they could get it for free, it's women that make this so. What you describe for women is objectivley way worse. The thing about men isn't even negative.
@bbb10
Yes we know you hate women. It's ok, you're not going to change anything.
So you agree women are prostitutes and not really heterosexual?
The question to me becomes what do YOU want and why? Whom? What do you have to offer in terms of character, drive, intelligence or what are you willing to do to make your marketability even stronger? If you feel inadequate what are you willing to do to change that. If you do not feel inadequate why broach the subject? I wish you well and hope my points give you food for thought.
when I met my boyfriend, I was working in a small market making prepared foods and stocking shelves, I had on a dirty apron, no makeup and hair in a net. he didn't seem to care one bit.
Men look for a pretty and nice girl.
They don't care about social status as much as women do
Very true
Yup women are hypergamous prostitutes.
Fuckin true. We're no dramaholics.
