Do men care about the social status of the women they date and/or marry? (Page 2)

Question

I work in a bakery. I'm not a pastry chef. Really, I am an operative although I do quite a bit of baking. I make a modest salary. At most, around 400 Euros a week. ( I'm from Ireland). And well, I am a little insecure. I'm not a Doctor, lawyer, teacher, executive etc. I don't have the dignity of these professions. I'm in a pretty humble job to tell the truth. I read a study that suggested that people can be embarrassed associating with those of a lower social standing than themselves. I feel like because of the feminist movement, men want women who are strong, independent, powerful, who have a great career.

Men want women who are confident and hard working. It doesn't matter if you are a house cleaner, or a CEO. As long as you're always striving for your vest is what matters. A woman that never settles for less than her best.

wallysworld · Answer

wouldn't care at all, just be the best you can be at whatever you do. Thats way cooler to me than if you were a crappy whatever you think that is more distinguished.

I care about how you treat me and support me. Not how society thinks of you.

greycadillacs · Answer

The only time I care is if she's unemployed or in a minimum wage job and is making no effort to get a job/better paying job. Social status is a load of hooey.

ShortCircuit · Answer

I don't really care what job my partner has or how much money she makes as long as she can pay her half of the rent.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I'll date a woman with any amount of money she has it's not about the money she has but the personality and the kindness she has is what matters to me.

cMusick · Answer

I personally don't. Though, according to several other people I've come across, its supposedly not as much of an impact on our appeal as it is for women. But I haven't done the research myself, so take that with a grain of salt.

Manuel2 · Answer

I will say no. But I think women do. Don't Women have a saying, before loving him, make sure he has a job. Most men say, Make sure is clean and childless or free and not dating any one else.
One deals with money. Other deals with sex area

smølf · Answer

No, women do care about men's social status, but most men don't care about the women's social status.

It's actually one of the key difference between men and women, when it comes to partner preferences.

masterotaku · Answer

Some men do consider this important. But this is vastly more true, even in this day and age, of women wanting to climb social ladders through their husbands.

It depends on what's important to people. But it's hardly true of everyone.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Middle class is what I like just because a woman from a middle class family is more likely to be similar to me then someone from another.

MrMilti · Answer

I would only want to date/marry a woman, who is happy with herself. I imagine it would get annoying at some point, if she keeps constantly putting herself down.

keegan12321 · Answer

I want a strong, independent, and passionate woman. Her career doesn't worry me, (although I would rather date a stripper than date a politician) so long as she is happy doing what she is doing

talk2dream · Answer

Well, yes and no. What would matter more is that you share a common spirit, with goal that all can actively call their own, and work toward.

Suhhs · Answer

I wouldn't care if you were the richest lady or even the poorest. If you have life in you and share that life with me then all these man-made silly barriers would fall apart naturally.

Polocrossebob · Answer

I don't think so. It's enough to be a hard worked and come from a good family. You don't have to be some heir to an empire.

fred256 · Answer

We don't care so much only that We are always worried and ready to move on that same level as the women.. But I see it's cool only that it needs when you are that man who is bold, free and always willing to speak out your mind.

Anon-ymous1 · Answer

No. We don't give a shit. We want someone driven, fun, smart, and hot. We don't care whether you have money. If you do, great. If you don't, great. It means nothing.

noraaenots · Answer

Personally, I prefer dating women who earn similar or less than myself. If I earn considerably less, I'd feel as if I wasn't contributing to/supporting the family.

Grouch225 · Answer

Men are about the looks.
Women care about the material.
Men would date girls with horrible personalities, morals etc if she's pretty enough.
Girl would ugly, mean, horrible etc. If he's rich enough or ave enough status.

its not a necessity, but we can add it to a perk, besides a sexy figure and good looks are what men are looking for

Yes they want... initially they might be OK but later they think it's burden...

Anonymous · Answer

I don't think men tend to like more women with great careers or high status jobs, but women with strong personality and capable of themselves in a personal level. Of course there are also men that like more dependent women, it's just a matter of likes

cth96190 · Answer

The social status of the female was not of great interest to me. What was of great importance was the quality of her DNA.

Bandit74 · Answer

I care to some extent, but as long as she fits my other preferences I don't really care how much she makes.

RedThread · Answer

I do in the sense that I want to share a certain lifestyle with a woman. I don't want to feel like I'm pulling the weight in the relationship because that might cause some resentment.

PeaceAndLoveAndTrust · Answer

No in that direction its fine. Woman rather want to have higher educated partners.

scscarbo · Answer

Yes, but it doesn't factor in as much as it does women. Women who find themselves in higher positions than men may end up struggling to find a man of higher social status.

MisterD90 · Answer

Man I'd love to be a Baker! I loves breads and cakes and shit! If the girl I was dating thought my job was too low for her well, she's a bitch and screw her.

We are always told that women have equal capacity and rights, so she must pay for her equal part of stuff. Equality is a 2 way road.

HamAndCheese · Answer

Not really, no. At least personally I couldn't care less. Unless she's a prostitute or a stripper or something.

thechico79 · Answer

i don't, who cares about who makes what. As long as we have fun together is all that matters.

Anonymous · Answer

I would say that I'm naturally attracted to higher status women, yes. Usually a woman's looks and demeanor directly attribute to her social stature.

Myself no absolutely. i want a girl who lead simple life so that I could spend more time with her. more money is more busy and less relaxation.

No. If they don't want to be with you because of your job, they aren't the person you want to be with anyways.
