@Julie4 I wouldn't date a woman who makes more money than me because it represents lack of shared hobbies. No shared hobbies leads to incompatible lifestyle. Thus, I wouldn't date a woman who makes more money than me.
I could careless if she made more. I don't know why society puts this in peoples head that its a big deal. What is more important is the relationship not the money.
I wouldn't care, considering how much I'm supposed to make. If my girlfriend made more than me at her current income level, that'd be a problem, because she doesn't make much.
Yeah, everything would be great... right up until the day she hits you with divorce papers (if married) or moves out (if just dating) because she grew unsatisfied with you. (Most) women ALWAYS want a man who is ABOVE them in all the ways they find important, and earning money is definitely one of those.
If not for this, men wouldn't care, but this is a very real problem.
Other facts: women who out-earn their man are 3 times more likely to suffer from anxiety and insomnia than those who don't - this comes from a study in Denmark of 200,000 married couples.
This is a WAY bigger issue than just the amount of money coming into the household!
That's... not how divorce works, my man. "Should" doesn't even enter into it. It's all about her feelings, and her girlfriends who will ALWAYS encourage her to leave you and take everything from you, and that she can do so much better than you. I've seen that happen so many times among people I know. It's not always about money, but it's ALWAYS about her feelings.

It bothers men to make more money than their partner?
somewhat as in the back of my mind would always be the threat of her leaving because she felt superior or viewed me as a settled for option.

Yes and she wouldn't be my girlfriend at that point, she would be a friend with benefits.
My wife used to... till something bad happened
Now she don't work no more
I think it bothers some. It will always bother some people, but more money = more safety.
Would I mind or would I mind? No neither one of me would mind.
I wish she made more money than me. That would be awesome. We could finally buy a vacation home.
I don't see why that would bother me, more money to build a future together.
It would only be a problem if she made it a big deal and kept bringing it up.
I don't mind at all, nothing to be wrong earning more money than me.
I'm not sure, but I know I'd feel like a lesser who isn't pulling his weight.
I wouldn't mind. As long as we are both putting money into the relationship, it doesn't matter who makes more
It wouldn't bother me - except - if she still expected me to pay for everything, as women often do, THAT would make me very angry.
Not one bit. I literally don't care about such matter. It's just money man used to buy food and pay bills.
It wouldn't bother me although it has never happened before.
Can’t see why that would bother me. Two sets of good income seems positive

Nope, if she’s my wife she shouldn’t need a divorce

Those are some really bitter girlfriends. In my family and my church the girlfriends are happy being married and they help the family and not hurt it
some months she makes 3x more than me and if it's wet I get zero
