100k Female here.

Woman: 250k minimum for a partner.

Woman: $200K. It’s less than what I earn and given my problems with ambitions and focus any guy who can’t earn at least that much is either from a different class background so had fewer opportunities, or screwed up the ones he had; exception for high achievement in a low paying field like literature, art, music, science.

Man: Don't care about a woman's income. Just don't saddle me with her pre-existing debt.

Man: she would need to make at least $160K or so. Me and DW each make $200K and I wouldn't want to downgrade my lifestyle.

Woman here with the same answer for a prospective man.

woman: be able to pay your own bills.

Man or woman. Combined income should be enough to provide multiple kids a modest but good quality of life and allow us to save for retirement. This means we should have enough to retire in a low COLA area and have enough to pay for preschool, live in an area with decent public schools, and have enough saved up to supplement kids' student loans when they attend in-state college.

I'm also a woman and I agree with this. I wasn't interested in dating anyone who had mommy and daddy chipping in on their rent, or who was always carrying a credit card balance. If you make $30k and have figured out a way to live on that, awesome. If you make $200k but carry around $40k in credit card debt that never seems to decrease, that's a no.

I met my husband in my early 30s though. I might have more of a floor if I were dating in my 40s.

Wow, low the class background dig. So a guy who worked from nothing to a solid job as a pediatrician is beneath you? Talk about class.

Did you not see the part about exception for high achievement in low paying field? Not PP, but I would assume a pediatrician is considered high achieving.

Women who demand $200k plus: how are you going to make that happen? What’s your plan? And don’t answer you already met you lawyer/MD husband in college. How are you going to make it happen now?
