bu2002 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I've seen this on a few sites and curious what others might think. Many online sites allow to select an income bracket or range of what you make. From a female perspective, why would they openly provide this information? I don't sense they're trying to brag necessarily. Is this essentially a hint that they would like the male to be able to meet that minimum level of income?
Janesays Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Because they're trying to fill out the profile like they are supposed to? 2
soccerrprp Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 B/c they can and yes, some to show that income is an issue. Why not show it?
MrNate 2.0 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 It's just an income bracket, man. C'mon now. 1
d0nnivain Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I always picked prefer not to day. I have a certain . . . lifestyle . . .but I'm OK providing it to myself. I didn't want to discourage a good guy just because I made more money then he did. I will tell you that the other way, women go for the guy who picks the big bucks number. When my husband was on a dating site & picked prefer not to say, he got few hits. When he picked the top income level, women who had previously ignored him, were messaging him. 1

Tony T Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 There are many females who prefer a lifestyle provided by finances in a certain range. By stating their own income on a dating site, they let potential men know what kind of life they are used to and what kind of life they may aspire to in the future. The higher a woman lists her income, the more pressure will be on a man to maintain her status if she quits to have children...or gets terminated...or whatever. If I were a female, I wouldn't put it down because as other posters have stated it limits the men who may be interested in her. Many men would not pursue a female who made more money than they did. On the other hand, users and narcissists might be attracted to highly paid females. Most people lie on that stuff anyway. 1
rocketman122 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I wouldnt want a woman to want me based on how much I made. knowing she wants me because of my income... thats pathetic. knowing that women wouldnt give you the time of day because youre ugly fat short whatever, but because you have money she's interested...I as a man would not see that as a compliment. 2
BikerAccnt Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I don't really care if they list how much they make, though if it's too high, I won't message them due to reasons others have stated. I do hate though, when they list what they make, then list what they'd like their date to make, and it's significantly higher than what they make. LOL, comon.. Generally, I prefer people who don't' have income requirements other than the most basic. I'd like you to have a decent full time job that allows you to live alone and take care of yourself in a fashion and would allow you to contribute to a relationship. Other than that, I really don't care

I agree but, how many women do you think feel the same way because you (not you per say) are only interested in them because of their looks. Different needs.
soccerrprp Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I personally have no problem with women or anyone else putting their accurate income on their profile. It's helpful. The thing that I find annoying is when they voluntarily detail within their written portion of their profile that they are looking for men (or women) with a minimum and then tell you if you don't that much, take a hike. When they're not nice about it, it's another story. I find that humorous.

I want a woman to be interested in me because of looks..dont see the issue. you dont want a person to be attracted to you because of your looks? what, is she supposed to be interested in me cause I can cook?
