Not really... men just don't look at women as providers. In my experience, even when a woman has a good income, she's usually not spending the money on dates and that sort of thing. Women making more money is only appealing in the sense that she'll generally present herself better and sometimes it means that life might be slightly easier if we live together. I care more about the fact that she is doing what she wants to do in life than about how much money she makes.
Well thank you! I'm glad it resonated with you. I'm always surprised when stuff like this gets a down vote. I guess someone really wanted to feel like the effort she puts into making money was going to lead to better dating opportunities?
Yes, because I want to support her career and help her succeed. Want to celebrate with her when she gets a good review and raise. Want to listen to her challenges and learn enough about her job to understand venting.

No.
For the most part it is irrelevant.
To be honest her job really only affects me if I do not like the job or it affects the relationship.
I'd never make a stripper, escort, nude model, actress... etc. a girlfriend or wife.
So if the job isn't one that is a deal breaker than I kind of don't care.
Also, more money is never bad. I mean if she made 70,000 instead of 25,000 that isn't bad... if we married. I mean that is more money for us to get a home, vacation and such.
But, it would have no bearing as to whether I cared for her and wanted a relationship with her.
Her being available for an intimate, long term relationship was more important than the money.
I would have picked a woman who made 40,000 a year over a woman who made 100,000 if the girl who made 40 was emotionally present for our relationship and was home and free at 5 in the afternoon and worked 5 days a week, 40 hours. was off most evenings and maybe only worked one or two nights... getting off at 9.
If the woman making 100,000 was a lawyer for example and just worked around the clock, always was off late, was always having to work overtime, I wouldn't see her for 4-5 days at a time, she was traveling a lot, had to cancel plans because being a lawyer was her life and I was just there for the few times she had an evening off... etc.
I would never even try to date that much less marry that.
That job would be anti long term, bonded relationship so the money would be irrelevant.
So, unless it is a job I morally hate... or a job that made the relationship 2nd... then I wouldn't care what she makes or what she does.
Nope not at all princess alyssa rapunzel and you i guess you know why 😊
I'll never marry a girl who doesn't adores becoming a housewife after marriage which means i'll be her everything and her whole life...
Even before marriage, while we are dating, she won't dare to pay, cause a man feeds his girl and the girl needs to know that her man is able to provide for her and take good care of her 😌
I don't care about her income but i do care about her career, just want to know what kind of a job she's working 😄 and that's it...
She can work until marriage if she wants to...
Thanks 🙂
Well i focus on how to make a wonderful happy lovely family 😌
According to me the key is in gender roles...
That's true princess alyssa rapunzel 😊
You must let your hair grow long and LONGER until it reaches me so i pull you to my cave 😁
A girl is made fragile and tender so a man marry her, feed her, take good care of her, protect her and keep her safe at home as a housewife far away from. the money and everything materialistic, all she have to do is to think about how much she loves her king, make for him delicious meals and to be pretty for him whenever she can, a man's house without a sweet happy princess is like a cold dead cemetary while a man's house with a happy wife is like heaven on earth...
A good man will always run back home from work just to get away from stress, bills, money and everything cruel that is found outside his little castle, when he comes back home, he gets hug and kisses from his wife and kids, this is where he will find peace, warmth and love and that's why a family always comes 1st...
😌😌
I want to reach a point where my income is enough that my wife can choose if she wants to go out to work or not. Right now I only care how much she makes because I've spent most of the last year in hospital and lost my leg so my career needs to have some changes made to it and right now I have zero income.
I'm not prepared to let that remain the case.
Most men probably don't care. But I do.
I don't want to know actual numbers. I am more interested in not settling for poverty-like salaries but making the money to sustain survival and living in our modern everything-revolves-around-the-money world.
Financial disasters and housewives are not for me. Career women all the way 😍
I had an insecure ex who couldnt stand that i made more than him. I tried to help him get a car and all and he just wouldn't let me help... I didn't even make that much in my opinion. I was fresh out of college and starting my first real job. He still had 2 years of college to go. Plus i was saving up 75% of my checks towards my future. He was saving only 25% of his and kept blowing it on family cruises
I do care. That give me somewhat idea of her back ground past. What kind of back ground she is coming from how will she manage money. On the very high level probably. Her life style if she is liability or not. What she will consider extra expense or not. I like to be with someone in same income bracket or one or two down no more than that. And again it can change when we are head over hills every thing else goes to hell. 🙂
She must be making no more than 1/3 of household income. Number suggests if woman makes 2/3 or more of the house hold income domestic violence happens in such house holds.
For me, it doesn't, because I want her to be more successful than even me if I do consider this person my love, but I can see how that can hurt some men's ego and manhood since a lot of them still have the idea that men should be the provider when in reality it can be either way or ideally both. The real question is, will she care if she makes more than me because women rarely date down.
Well in 2021 men expect women to bring something to the party especially given the high standards women set on men.
You ever see a 6ft+ handsome guy that makes good money, is well educated with a fmgrwat sense of humour with a kind of short chunky average looking woman? Well she brings more to the party than looks.
Short answer, yes but wish I didn't
It really should not matter at all. Two independent people have two independent lives and they can work together to build a life together. That's how is should be. But because misogyny is pumped into my brain by every person I meet, I do feel inadequate that I can't provide enough for my wife on my own
To some degree yes where I live in London I dont make close enough to by myself support a family so she will need to make somthing to help support our family
No, whether she wants to work or not in the first place is her choice, if that makes her feel content. It is not a choice for men however because that's a part of their main masculine role, to provide for the household and protect it.
I demand that my partner make the exact amount of 66,103$ and not a penny less or more or I denounce her and leave in my gilded helicopter.
I do not care at all, so the answer is no, even if she was homeless I wouldn't care. as long as she isn't racking up credit card debt, I don't care because she isn't going to be paying for much anyway (unless she wants to) and I enjoy treating my girlfriend.
Credit card debt very good point.
If you're both diligent and productive... no big deal. A relationship is a mutual thing... both parties need to contribute as they are able or strive to become able. Cooperation, not competition.
Yes and no, if we were to pool our money together to make a a large purchase that we both wanted then it does matter. Like she can't be working a dead end low paying job and want a nice house with goodies in it.
I wouldn't like/love her any less if she made more or less.
Couldn’t care less. However I would love it if any future wife would work with me on my company. Young people don’t understand that this is a powerful dynamic when men/women work together with the same goal, the man being the driving force and the wife being his biggest supporter. It’s biology men lead and women follow, 95% of the time.
No, it is not like I want her money. And neither have I seen women sharing her money to contribute to family even if she makes 100 times more.
So why expect when it is her money anyways
I don't care much as long as they are happy about themselves. I find people stay happy as long as they have some work to do and if they are able earn some amount which they are proud of, then I will be proud of them too. If they aren't happy with themselves, then I care a lot about how much my partner can make themselves happy
Nope, as long as she's passionate and has some ambition I give zero fucks what her income is like.
Not at all. Beyond looks, it's about personality, compatibility and being good company.
Personally I've always seen it as a beautiful thing that in a guy's mind a waitress is competing on the same level as female CEOs and whatnot. We're not going to care about your education or career or any of that mess.
You spent years studying and now have a doctorate? Good for you, but in itself that doesn't evoke my attraction. But if you're just a cute cashier that's good company? Sign me up.
For the most part no.
I may feel a little bit insecure at first if she makes more than I do, because I feel like a lot of women are only interested in guys who make more than them.
But if I feel like she doesn't care about that kind of stuff then it won't really bother me.
No only broke dudes care about that I make really good money enough to support a family. I don't look for women to pay for things for me and if I go out on a date I'll pay I'm old fashioned like that
Thanks! 😊
real men dont , but tbh at this time thinking is if she can provide for her own self and the things she want to buy it save me much trouble so part of thinking they do.
Nope I make more than we need if she works fine but priority is me the kids and the home. As long as she handles that I’m content being the only bread winner.
No, I hope to make enough for both of us. If she makes money, its all for saving and spending as far as I'm concerned. Not saying I need to be the bread winner, but I will be if she wants me to be.
No.
I just want her to be hardworking and ambitious.
She could be working in McDonald’s and I would not care.
Lol easy tiger I am not successful. I am on track to be but I am not there yet.
☺️ ☺️awww that’s nice of you
Yes, I have seen it and they can be insecure if you are making more than them but it depends on the guy. I have found a number of guys feel inadequate if you are doing better then them, some not all
fuck no i ain't no god damn gold digger. i even told her before we get married we're getting a prenup so she can keep all the stuff that's hers because i don't want any of it. shit i even made a last will leaving her all my stuff my investments jewelry diamonds etc. in case something were to ever happen to me. i even told her numerous times i don't want any of her stuff she can keep it all since she worked so damn hard for it all.
Again... no. It doesn't matter. y'all keep asking this and we keep saying this but y'all keep asking like its going to change.
Because you broke as broke can be? 😂
Why are you concerned about it? And why glad go hear if doesn't matter to men?
If a man makes less than you he's trying to use you 75% of the time. Id bet money on it.
Yes. For sure. I see it all the fucking time. Dudes lazy and mooches off girlfriend.
@Alyssa11 got jokes 🤣
I care that she is happy at whatever job or career she chooses. How much money is totally unimportant. Chemistry with each other is what matters.
Everyone cares about how much your make. That is your identity in this society. But if the woman makes more than the man then it can be a blow to his ego in some cases
I’d have to say most men don’t when compared to women. I could careless if she was working at McDonalds or Goodwill, most of us men go after looks then personality falls into place once we get to know her.
All i care about is she is happy with what she is doing.
Yes. I don't have to know the exact amount, but I'd like to know if it's enough that she can help with our responsibilities
When I was in corporate, I was making more than my wife, but I never made more then $50K a year. Now she is in a better position to make more than I can. We do what we have to do in our partnership.
Yes and no
Men want you to have a steady income. But, they don't care if you make a lot or just above enough.
Not at all. If she makes bank then that’s a plus. As long as she makes enough to support herself then that’s good
Not at all i mean I’d love and care that she’s an adult who can support themselves and that’s usually reflected in monetary terms but i wouldn't look at her success as something for my own benefit
hell yeah, the world ain't gonna be a good place for us with all the corruption and inflation, imma need a woman with smart finances and a good job if we going to survive
Some see their salaries as apart of their manhood. My wife makes a bit more than me now and it’s fine. I’m fine. I’m still a man. She doesn’t wear the pants. I wear the pants. Fuck you.
No I don't care if she makes money or not. I make enough for us to live comfortably. If she doesn't want to work that's fine with me. If she wants to get a job I'm fine with that also
I don't care what a girl makes , her personality and love means the most to me
I care more about how she handles her finances than I do how much she makes or her career choice.
Am I married to this person or having sec with this person.
Partner ship VS a friends with benefits with a title.
no it's not about money its all about how much your partner cares about you and treats you then again it depends on the guy
i dont, care about what she enjoys in life. her goals, dreams, 3 am thoughts.
If the amount is 0 and we're not making enough to provide for both? Then yeah, we do care!
I would care, only as a means of knowing for myself that they'd be ok if something were to happen to me.
If she doesn't have a job, she needs to be useful in other ways. It doesn't matter how much she makes
Some do, some don't. Generally not as much as women seem to.
If she can pay her rent and her half of the bills then I don't give a fuck.
She should be working, in my opinion
But, how much she makes, I don't care
She can do whatever she wants. I want to be the provider anyway.
Yes, I hope she makes 10-times as much as me. The more the better.
yeah... mo' money is better, I assume you care for each other and share expenses...
not really as long as she also cooperate at least in common expenses.
I don't care but always appreciable whatever she earn
For me not really as long as she have legal career that's fine.
Not usually and it’s always less than me for some reason
Not really, it is just an added bonus if she is rich.
