Guys, how would you feel if your girlfriend or wife made more money than you?

[Kayla45]

Just kinda curious

[Finchie40]

Doesn’t bother me if she does or doesn’t , all that matters is the chemistry and connection we share and that she wants to be my partner, not a user
the one girl I am dating now, wants to be my Sugar Mommy and she wants to financially support me because she is loaded , I told her I don’t want her money because I am a worker , she still insists on paying for things for me , it’s sweet of her , but a little weird to me , considering I never experienced a girl like this in my lifetime , it’s actually a shock to me that she wants to do this for me.

[HawkPerception]

Wouldn't bother me at all. If I'm doing what I love and she's doing what she loves, then why WOULD it matter?

Women are the only ones that tend to look down on men that make less than them. If men knew that women didn't care about how much money they make, then none of them would feel insecure being in relationships with women who make more. Same thing as dick size. Girls will say that dick size doesn't matter, but it does and that's why they talk to their female friends about the size and say if it hits right.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I make more money than my boyfriend, so I asked him this. His response "Well, people at work are convinced I MUST be well endowed or magical in bed. On a serious note, it's never bothered me cause you've never once even used it in an argument or as a joke"

[Anonymous]

If you make more money than him and you don't want him to feel insecure about it, then don't make him feel insecure about it.

[ohsheeT]

Om mot married or have a girl friend. I would love it i would want either one of them to be happy get paid for what they do.. every girl friend I've had I've made more and I could care less it not how much money each make

It's what you spend it on

Haha when I'm with some one the are me equal as I am to them

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t even ask because i don’t care.
Only women care when they make more than their fellas. Men only care if she makes a big stink about it. Which they always seem to do and then blame the man for the troubles she caused. Then they tell everyone he couldn’t handle her making more. When the real problem is he didn’t want to put up with her being an *sshole about it.

[AviatorTom]

That would be great! More income so we can do more of the things we like to do, like travel.

[Purpleronnie]

Depends on the difference that makes to our relationship. Will she spend more time elsewhere due to her responsibilities? Would that change the way she perceives me? Does that mean she would spend more money on us? Or on her? On our relationship thus far both of us have earned more than the other by albeit small amounts relative to our respective / combined salaries , this has been due to bonuses , promotions and job changes and I’m thankful to say that it hasn’t mattered or affected either of us thus far. Given that I’m older than her by 8 years I will retire before her so it’s inevitable that one day she will earn substantially more than me and being honest I look forward to that day.

[Lliam]

I'd be happy. It wouldn't threaten my ego one bit.
Since we are a team, my wife and my combined incomes would contribute to a more secure retirement and we would have more money to spend on things we need, including emergencies. And we could take more luxurious vacations.
The more money the better.

[boundless]

I think all women should shoot to do that consider they spend 80% of the household's income on average. It should be a minimum threshold that a woman earn 4 times what her man does in order for her to equally contribute to the family. So if he earns $200K a year, for her to just pull her own weight she needs to bring in $800K a year.

[boundless]

If she can't earn 4 times what her man earns, then she is lazy and selfish. She needs to lower her standards and work harder.

[boundless]

*considering

[Zack-Bann]

Not an issue for me.


I make decent money and my income is on the rise
So I’m not insecure about it


If she made even more good for her


I don’t want her money and never will


But if our combined income makes us a somewhat rich couple then all the better

[Kabluie]

Not an issue, also when both are just as successful it just becomes moot. One relationship we had talked about this subject. The words were "I will likely end up making more than you someday once I get established in law". It can feel like a temperature sensing statement, but that's how we were when she was in law school.

[DJB72]

My wife was a doctor. Her earning potential was always higher than mine. When we got married she started a private practice and we worked together for 15 years until I got sick and spent 3 months in a coma and nine months in total in hospital during 2020.

It never bothered me she could earn about four times my potential on the open market

[Likes2drive]

Never happened yet, but would be nice since I wouldn’t have to keep paying for everything And maybe they would share the expenses on vacations. I doubt a woman would go out with a man that makes less than her anyway since they usually want the guy to make more money or at least be equal

[D_Bone_Steak]

Mine does... how does it feel? I don't give a fuck... more money for me! I have all the shit I could want. Oh... I haven't worked myself for like 25 years... who cares? Nobody and I get to party every night... I do whatever the fuck I want.

[Curiousbenjamin90]

I’d feel like she’s smart, worked hard in school to get a higher degree, and deserves it (she made more money than me when we started dating for about a year, so I know this is how I’d feel). It’s just money.

[Anonymous]

I'm less concerned with how much she makes than how much she spends. Don't get me wrong, if she makes a lot she can spend a lot on whatever she likes. She earned it! I'm just saying her attitude towards money isn't really congruent with my views towards money. So I'm not sure I see longterm success between us.

[FirePhoenixZ]

I’d hope he’d feel proud, secure, and inspired because a man who’s truly confident doesn’t measure his worth by my success.

Real partnership celebrates growth, not competes with it.

[nolabels]

My wife and I have gone back and forth in salary superiority over the years.

That doesn't bother me at all.

What has and does bother me is the rate at which she spends it.

[exitseven]

Over the years there were a few years where my wife made more money than i did. This occurred after I changed careers and had to basically start over again. It was expected.

[aceleon]

good.

my money remains as mine while hers is home's.

[MikeTheBartender]

Not a big difference until living w her or marriage comes up. That being said it's been super rare in my dating life.

[Phoenix98]

As long as that fact wasn't used against me or used to make fun of me or anything like that then I'd be fine with it.

[glennos89]

That's fine. It doesn't matter who brings in more money as long as we can have a good life together im fine with whoever earns more

[Shiprex]

It would be irrelevant but she'd very likely lose respect as women STILL struggle to see men as anything but provider.

[Spencer10]

I would have absolutely no problem with it. Its the 21st century.

[loveslongnails]

I feel fine about it. I actually helped her get the position! LOL My ego isn't so fragile where bullshit like that matters to me, or to her.

[genericname85]

Doesn't matter. I could make more money but I prefer my happiness and health as well as additional free time (4 day work week) over more money.

[Wiredone]

It would not bother me at all. I'd be very happy for her for working so hard to get the salary she earned

[Shy_Steve]

I wouldn't care as long she still had feelings for me.

Most Girls are able to get higher paying easier than Guys do anyway.

It's most Women that have a problem with it.

[nocturnalbreed]

Not a big deal as long as she doesn't think she's entitled to something just because she earns more money.

[Xawyx-2]

I would probably be proud of her.

But I'm single.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely delighted. This year, my gross income will be about 30 times more than her gross income.

[LiamJHayden]

I've dated a few attorneys who earn more. It does not bother me.

[llorando]

I'd be indifferent as that is not important in a relationship.

[Still-alive]

I would just be happy we are both bringing in a cash flow

[LiamS95]

Wonderful because that would be a lot of money.

[Anonymous]

The more she can earn, the better. As long as her career doesn't get in the way of her being a good mother to our children.

[RedInnocent69]

I think it would be fine, but unlikely to happen

[seeyounexttuesday]

At this stage, it'd be great. I wouldn't want it as a lifestyle, though.

[beefcakebradybatson]

MOI club a rich broad? Even at 72, I've got the boyish good looks to pull it off !!!

[HighSchoolCustodian]

I wouldn’t have a problem if she doesn’t have problem or use it for power.

[abc3643]

Happy as a pig in shit.

[aaron13547]

Honored that I make her happier then money can.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@Kayla45 as indifferent as it was if I did

[soe11]

• I feel proud of her.

[DrPepper12]

Hasn't bothered me yet!

[Alex-Snow]

It would not matter to me. Good for her!

[jamesgoldman]

Wouldn't worry me at all

[moviedude714]

It would not be an issue for me

[hafinjun]

Like id won't the lottery

[DavyJ]

It wouldn’t be an issue-it never was.

[loveladies1]

Where do I sign up?

[noohair]

That would be great...

[Twalli]

My mom made more than my dad, so I wouldn't care.

[Godihateyou]

Fucking relaxed. I pay 120% of our bills.

[rebeliouse]

dont matter either way @Kayla45

[rebeliouse]

my goal it to be financially independent of everything so as long as thats joint goal its fine

[Classic65]

I would love it. I bet she would too!

[Urfknqueenx]

I’m single and broke, hmu lol 😆 cer_pritchxx tele

[eagle1951]

not a big deal to me

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't care i wouldn't mind

[Brady]

nothing

[shortster]

Happy for her

[TallAnon]

Nice, more money
