I my experience, it doesn’t bother me, but it bothers them. For instance, the last date I went on with a girl that made more money than me ended poorly. She kept saying that I wasn’t on her level and kept challenging me with questions to see how I measured up. She didn’t like any of my answers.
No, multiple research papers have shown that only bothers women, along with education, men are quite happy to date/marry down, level or up. With women they only want to date up, but even if the guy is making 2x or more than them, they do not still will not want to date him if they feel his educational attainment is less than theirs.
It's not something I'm threatened by, which seems to be the predominant assertion among women regarding the topic, but I'd certainly be much less fulfilled in the relationship not being able to provide for her in that way. I like to take care of my romantic interests. So I do prefer women who make less than me. Even more so if it's quite a decent bit less.
No.
Women loooooove to think we give a shit about this crap, but we don’t.
The only problem with women who make more money than their partner is that they often act like it makes them better than their partner because money is what is important to women. So they throw it in the guys face constantly, etc.
It doesn't bother my husband.
More so, it doesn't bother me.
no, I'm fine with it. everyone is different. some men feel more secure being the provider.
My wife made more money than I did if I didn;t count my side job. It did not bother me a bit. I wish she made more.
well that would entirely depend on how much hours she's working and what line of work she's in.
like if she does sex work, that's obviously a no and if she has no time for me, cause she works so much, that's a no as well.
The relationship could not work, because females have been hard wired through natural selection to seek men who are larger, stronger, more intelligent and have greater resources than the female.
Anybody who is intimidated by a partner making more money than themselves is weak and insecure. Gender doesn’t change that.
@quackthulu2 If a partner makes more money than me, I see it as a sign of having zero shared hobbies. Zero shared hobbies translate into incompatible lifestyle & living pattern.
@Shiningtempest Well, I guess that tells us the kind of guy you are lol.
I had girlfriends who made more than me and girlfriends who made less. Money isn't important to me, relationship is.
Some men do, but I believe the modern day man can careless honestly
It wouldn’t bother me at all. If anything, I would be assured that she isn’t in it for the money. That being said, 99% of girls make less money that I make, so never had the opportunity.
It's not a relevant factor in dating. However it generally is opposite to other factors that are relevant. I date young sweet caring women. And typically it's older tougher women who earn significant income.
Can we please end this question? It's getting old!!!
Would not bother me in the slightest , it would be utterly fantastic.
I have have made more and my SO has made more. It doesn’t really matter unless whomever is making more throws it in the other’s face and/or brags about it.
My girlfriend actually does out earn me. And she's very broke while I have a house and savings haha.
Does it bother me? Meh. I don't think it really matters.
No idea, if it does bother them then that's their own insecurity and it's not my problem
Of course it would bother them because they would feel like you are superior over them
