Guys, would you be with a woman who is smarter than you and makes more money than you?

[Anonymous]

Please answer honestly would you be with a woman who is smarter than you and earns more than you do?

Should she pay for more stuff because she makes more money than you?, would you be able to be with such a woman? Is she your type?

Yes I would be with such a woman

No I wouldn’t be with such a woman

[hahahmm]

When it comes to marriage, I would never get with a woman who makes more money than myself. The smarts thing isn't an issue. The reason I wouldn't get with a woman who makes more is that I am very traditional and that means the man provides. If she makes more money it is impossible to be the provider. Not only that but she would bs used to things I can't afford. For example she could be used to going on $20k vacations 4-5 times per year. The only way she can be happy with a dude who makes less is if she gives up that luxury lifestyle or she pays his way. Neither one is good in my opinion.

I do know a couple where the woman is highly successful and the guy isn't at all. They met very young & married young. Seems to work for them but I also know of multiple cases where people met later in life, and none of those relationships are right. Lots of problems.

[Asker]

I did hear that most guys want to providers and that women must go for men who make more than themselves so the guy can provide for her. They told me it’s a masculine thing for a man to wanna provide I don’t know if it works in every case though even you said you know a couple where the woman is more successful and they are working out.

[hahahmm]

The other problem is that women who are very successful also tend to have masculine traits. The ones who can turn off that masculinity AT HOME are still feminine and attractive to a man. But most women can't switch it off. I cannot think of a case of a famous female business exec who is with a man who makes more money than herself. If she were attractive to all guys equally, she would because she would easily find a more ambitious guy. But those guys aren't interested. So anyhow, guys value femininity.

[Asker]

I also do think most guys like feminine women and I heard they said women don’t want to date men who make less then them so I wanna see how the results will look from this poll in the case where a woman earns more and is smarter would men want a woman like that?

[Asker]

What you’re saying makes a lot of sense tho

[hahahmm]

I don't think this poll will tell you much because it doesn't tell. you about the kind of guy answering the poll. If - for example - 100k broke guys say they like women with blue hair, and 2 successful guys say they don't... I would say the 2 guys matter more. Ha ha.

[Asker]

Lmao in that case beggars can’t be choosers I’m begging so I won’t be choosy I’ll take what I can get

[Flatmanlewis]

Absolutely. One could argue that I found smarter than me (although she will disagree) and I make more money now, but for most of our marriage we made about the same.


If she looks and dresses like the babe in the photo you attached, then it’s an even bigger yes. In the end, her looks and personality will probably matter more than her income.

[HighValue]

I've never met one even as intelligent as I am. I don't care how much money she makes as long as it isn't from a job I am morally opposed to and doesn't require travel so we still get plenty of time together. We could each pay our half of the necessities and we each keep the rest of our own money we ear.

I'd still want a prenuptial agreement.

[Deltanteiger]

Why not? I care about the character.
Not the status, not the money and looks.

If a man indeed does however... GOLD DIGGAH!

[Asker]

He would be a gold digger for being with such a woman?

[Deltanteiger]

I ment it as if he will be for her status and money only..

[Asker]

Alright got it

[Keyboardkat]

I wouldn't have any problems being with a woman who is smarter than I am. My life isn't all about my ego! I can be happy and emotionally secure for other reasons than having to make more money and/or be smarter than she is!

[TommyMountainFigure]

Absolutely. I wouldn't be too proud to admit she was smarter than me, and if she earns more? Great.

For me, marriage is about 2 people on the same side. Where the money comes from doesn't matter. I make more than I need anyway.

[Anonymous]

Smarter than me? Yeah.

Makes more money then me? I don't see that as a likely scenario. Probably not. While I got significant assets I'm thrifty (the main reason I have significant assets). If she has more money than me she probably expects me to make it rain. And that ain't happening!

[Dargil]

Yes, so long as I could make a lasting and valuable addition to her life.

[Asker]

Awww 😊

[ProbablyClueless]

It all depends on whether she made a whole thing about the fact she was smarter and more successful than me, but yes, I'd probably be willing to date a lady like that.

[b_lova]

Absolutely! I work from home. I cook, clean, do laundry and will have her bubble bath and drink ready when she gets home.

[Surely]

I have known some highly educated people that were dumber than a box of rocks when they were taken out of their field of study. As for the financial part. I am sure that a guy would benefit from their spouse’s good fortune one way or another.

[BIZARRE_TRUTH]

FUCK YEAH DUDE

IF I EVER MET A WOMAN SMARTER THAN ME ID ABSOLUTELY MARRY HER

[molonski2]

Absolutely , dam wish I could find one would be great.

[FatNeville]

If I wouldn't, I wouldn't really have any options left.

[Anonymous]

I'm into professional sports so I don't care if she's smarter or not
About money, I earn more than enough for me and I'm not very money minded.. so unless she sees me like a loser for earning less than her it's cool

[Soteris]

Well that just sounds lovely quite frankly, assuming she is a nice lady to boot.

[Bricealan]

I have been with several women who were smarter than I.

[FunkyMonkee]

I was. And then the little cunt cheated on me BECAUSE I wasn't making as much money as her! Fucking gold diggers will fuck you over for a buck every time!!

[Unit1]

Ewww, gold diggers 🤢🤮

[FunkyMonkee]

@Unit1 I know!! Who needs `em?

[Unit1]

Someone needs to make these gold diggers suffer big time!

[FunkyMonkee]

@Unit1 Yeah but, how?

[FunkyMonkee]

What are we supposed to do, set their pubes on fire?

[Unit1]

Something like that. The more sadistic, the better. Some sadistic rich guy can pull it off easily and even get away with it.
Or destroy what they use, that enables their gold diggery. E. g. impairing their beauty permanently.

[Asker]

if you don’t have gold you don’t have to worry about gold diggers, they tend to like men who make a lot of millions and who actually like spending the millions on them.

[Unit1]

Not all gold diggers target only rich men. They also target average Joeys for free meals and gifts.

[Asker]

@Unit1 as a woman with women friends that’s not common may be it seems common because you know few men who that had happened to. Gold diggers like super wealthy men or even medium wealthy men who like spending on them or even like sugars dads.

But I mean if a man wants a woman he does need to like but her flowers and stuff, like woo her that’s not gold digging that’s you as a man shooting your shot trying to charm a lady no?

[Asker]

That’s why they say don’t date or if your broke cause dating needs money…

[Unit1]

Hard to argue with that. I know of ways to make girls happy, that does not involve money.

[Asker]

@Unit1 ummmmm… goodluck with that

[FunkyMonkee]

She had one job, 3 days a week. I had two jobs, 5 days a week atone and at least 2 days a week at the other so, I WAS making a fairly good amount of cash and spending a good bit of it on her. One day, after at least 9 years together, she meets another guy who's job is to pick through people's garbage, pull out various odds & ends, put them together in bizarre ways, take pictures of these and sell them to magazines! Apparently, he's making a bit more money than I am so, she leaves me for him!! THAT'S a gold digger!!

[Asker]

@funkymonkee there’s two sides to the story and all I see here is your version so I’m not going to insert myself in y’all’s business, there’s three sides to the story your side, her side and the truth

[FunkyMonkee]

She lied to me, stole from me and cheated on me! I've never done any of that to her so, you're going to take HER side as the truth?

[Asker]

Here’s what I said: @funkymonkee there’s two sides to the story and all I see here is your version so I’m not going to insert myself in y’all’s business, there’s three sides to the story your side, her side and the truth

[FunkyMonkee]

Hey! There's an echo in here!

[exitseven]

Yes I am pretty secure with my life and could deal with it.

[Staximus]

I wouldn't care, as long as she doesn't expect me to be able to pay for a bunch of fancy shit that I can't afford.

[Unit1]

Good luck for such a woman to actually exist in today's times.

If i find her attractive and lovely, i would date her. No, i don't want her money.

[addax]

i'd like her to be smart, i wouldn't care about the money

[strateguy632]

i did, it was like winning the prize.

[DrPepper12]

I am! She's awful at choosing men tho...

[zagor]

Yes, I've dated several such women.

[OtterMan68]

in a heartbeat

[RedInnocent69]

I’d certainly like to meet one.

[jahaims]

Sure

[goebenbreslau]

nope. never
