Do you think Modern women's expectation for men's salary to be realistic?

[Anonymous]

In a 2018 study that looked at sexual behavior of those between the ages of 18-44 years of age, it was found that less people are getting married compared to those in the past. One highlighted reason had to do with men not making enough money for women to consider marrying them.

Modern women were interviewed around campus and most wanted men to make at least 6 figures to consider them marriage material. With the average figure being 100k/year for men to be considered marriage worthy. In addition to this, most women in said interview were put off at the idea of being with a man who makes less than them. Now, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median wage for workers in the United States in the second quarter of 2022 was about $1,041 per week or $54,132 per year. Thus, men are expected to make 2x the median salary of your standard American to be considered marriage worthy.

Do you think these expectations are reasonable?

Yes

No

[Guy13]

Yes and 55,000 to 60,000 sounds right. And if one has to work two jobs to hit that number, oh well…. Everyone makes their own decisions and career path.

Women prefer men with high incomes and a high level of education.

Care to share your source for that?

[Asker]

Can you clarify where you like cited?

[LazerBean]

That most women are requiring men to make 100k to marry them.

[Asker]

Never said that. I just stated in the question details that several woman across campus were interviewed and most wanted men to make 6 figure in order to consider marrying them.

[LazerBean]

Mmmmm actually that's pretty much exactly what you said.

"Modern women were interviewed around campus and most wanted men to make at least 6 figures to consider them marriage material. With the average figure being 100k/year for men to be considered marriage worthy. "

[LazerBean]

I mean unless you are just saying that what you said in that section was actually irrelevant and pointless of you to say.

[Asker]

I'm not sure how this is irrelevant or pointless. The post above is linked to a twitter link whereby women of college age were interviewed on what salary they would consider for a man to be marriage material. Most said 100k/year was what they would find acceptable. The lowest one girl was willing to go was 65k/year which is still above the median salary of an average American.
