NP and there's a lot of space between wealthy and low/no income. I think being wealthy beyond, say, $300K HHI is somewhat overrated esp. Given the sacrifice you will have to make a most jobs to earn that income. My source is that we make that much and still save a ton, could have a nice life on less. |
That’s enough money to pay a housekeeper and a chef. |
What gave you that idea? Or was this the response you were baiting with the OP? |
DP. You are assuming that everyone wants the same things in life. Just because this particular woman is content being single does not mean that everyone is. Some people see great value in long term monogamous relationships. If the only downside is a compatible partner making 120k while they make 380k, these people might be willing to take that risk. So smart people can make different decisions. |
| I am older now (50 year woman) but by 45 was earning close to $950k. I did date very low earners but they tended to be very attractive with very hot bodies (eg personal trainers). Now I am like the pp who doesn’t bother dating that much. I don’t need the money and wealthy guys tend to be unattractive in other ways. |
DP. Don't need to marry a guy to get sex. We're perfectly fine having boyfriends for that. |
Not the same if you like PIV sex. No need for huge, btw. |
Don't want to take care of anyone and their household needs once I am done with husband. I have my kids to fill that need very well. |

| Good luck with that salary and grammar. |
OP, I would ask this of either gender - WHAT do YOU bring to the table? If the partner is supposed to be a paycheck - you are going to have a rough time! |
The difference is the emotional support aspect |
| There are matchmaking services, do your research. But you too will have to pass the screen first! |
Every 4-6 weeks I visit a former colleague who lives in NYC and spend the day in bed with him. Sometimes I think it’d be nice to have someone local but to be honest I like that the distance naturally limits the amount of time we spend together without us having to discuss or negotiate it. |
It’s different. Men feel proud to be able to afford to give their family that lifestyle. Women fee resentful that the man can’t do that. |
