Woggle Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I would have no issue with it as long as she doesn't. This tends to cause issues from both ends actually.
Els Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Depends on the culture and the viewpoint of both people involved.
NJ123 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Depends on the culture and the viewpoint of both people involved. This seems to be the truth from things I've heard. Some women absolutely do not give a **** at all about what the guy makes & vice versa. While some wouldn't even give you a date if they find out you make a lot less than them. Men don't seem to care as much about what a woman makes as long as they enjoy what they do.
Donnie Darko Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Generally speaking very successful women are on average less feminine or can take on more masculine traits, which I don't personally find attractive. It really just depends on how attractive the woman is and her personality and whether we have chemistry/click. Furthermore, I don't find it attractive when someone is a workaholic. If she has to work 60+ hours per week and work always comes first, then I don't feel like I would be on the same page with her in terms of prioritizing work/life balance.
SawtoothMars Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 If a woman earns a lot more money than a guy does, should he be hesitant about dating her? I really don't mind at all. That said, I've often found hyper successful women to be intolerable jerkoffs. They tend to spend lavishly on themselves and be very type A. Success tends to exacerbate many negative traits that are normally held in check with other women. I dated a CFO who was so damn type A that I constantly had to tell her to stop trying to manage me. It got so bad one time I kicked her out of my car and made her call a cab home.

SawtoothMars Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 lol what exactly happened for you to kick her out of your car? She was attempting to tell me how to drive. Imagine someone giving you directions, but instead of "turn right on 5th ave" it was more like "slow down you are going 34 in a 30, and put your hands at 10 and 2". I had asked her politely to stop several times and it escalated into an argument... at which point I had enough. 1

I don't think the part about women being less feminine is true. It's a cliche & a bad one that needs to die. Wanting a partner who is not a type A work-a-holic is fine but to label successful women as universally unattractive because they made a choice that you don't agree with, is not fair. Those same women may find a man who doesn't share their drive unattractive; it's a choice not a mandate.
carhill Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 If a woman earns a lot more money than a guy does, should he be hesitant about dating her? I would imagine, right now, every woman I know makes more money than me and, no, it doesn't matter to me. I'm quite comfortable with my path in life. When one begins to see one's friends dropping off the earth from disease and death, one can develop a different attitude about money, generally the balances of the cost of obtaining it versus the benefits it provides. The women have their balance; I have mine. If they don't like mine, no problem!
