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.

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.

[Dargil]

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

[Asker]

Awww 😊

[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!

[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.

[BIZARRE_TRUTH]

FUCK YEAH DUDE

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

[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.
