What salary makes a guy marriage material?

I’d say 150k+ preferably 250k+

Good question.

OP I wound up marrying somebody who was in the middle of undergrad so my salary requirement was essentially zero. He wound up having a stable job and everything, so I am biased but I tend to raise my eyebrows at salary requirements.

Lower earning men are less likely to marry.

But I will also add that I think it’s more likely than not that this is a troll post.

You are lost.

This is probably a troll post.

But, as with a broken clock, potentially useful under certain circumstances.

The right salary to make a man marriageable is the number that supports the lifestyle the pair want divided by the number of adults they want to work as part of that lifestyle unless that lifestyle includes a SAHD.

Don’t marry a school teacher and expect to be a SAHM. Don’t marry someone with no drive and come to DCUM to be sad about how you work so much harder than your spouse. Know thyself and know thy partner.

I married a guy who made $75K yr while I made $60K. We make about 550-600K now.

If I'd thought like OP, I'd have been so miserable. Instead, I married a man who I loved really not considering earning potential. We started our young lives and supported each other in our career growth.

Why can't you do the same, OP?

As a heterosexual male, I think a dude would need to make a few million a year for me to go there, and I'd need a hall pass too.

When I met DH ~6 yrs ago I was making $45K, he was making $95K. Now, we both make ~$200K each and are perfectly comfortable.

What stage of life are you in, OP? I'd have different "requirements" meeting someone at 25 than at 40.

How does the math work on this? Unless women are partnering with each other, or in harems, wouldn’t the numbers be similar?

I went to law school planning to find a spouse. I would only have dated someone biglaw bound. DH is now a partner. I don’t regret anything.

OMFG. But it’s clear that you would be unhappy if your HHI hadn’t quintupled. You are proving OPs point.
