DP. True If I didn't want kids I could date someone making 50k if they were very frugal and saving wisely for retirement. I love apartment living and it wouldn't bother me. |
Wow, with a HOI of $130k at the time you married, you two couldn't get it together enough to even buy a house? Lack of income is not your problem. I bought and sold 4 houses before I ever topped $100k in income and raised 3 kids. That's not meant to brag. It's really pretty average. What's wrong with you? |
I'd say a threshold income. Not high. I do not know a single woman who would turn down a man who made 80k in his thirties becausr of his income. That is not a high income in this area. I do not know a single who would consider marrying a man who made 50k in his 30s in a senior role( entry level is different). The threshold is around 80-100k. That's what you need in this area to be able to pay your own 50% of the bills and still save a bit for retirement. |
TL;DR Incel angry women expect men to bring something, anything to relationship. |
This isn’t a women problem. This is a you problem. It’s very interesting that you are converting it to a misogynist premise. |

Your post sounds misogynistic. Of course all women don’t only care about one thing. Maybe stop finding women online and try real life.
If you are attractive, smart, kind, and polite, that should get you some dates. Unless you have larger problems than your salary. Try sports, volunteer work , outdoor activities , social events. |
What do you think men work for? Money |
I was in that exact situation and picked hot/broke. In retrospect, I wouldn’t have picked either. Life is really hard without enough money. But life is also joyless without good sex. Both options suck. |
Same, but OP’s attitude would. |
OP needs to find someone who does not want children. A low income would be sufficient with a couple making 100K. |
This. What if she gets put on bed rest? What if you have a preemie that's in the NICU for a while. What if any serious medical problem happens to either of you our your child? Because most families do experience something at some point. If you can't wrap your head around the need to earn more, that's going to be really off-putting. A woman is not "only caring about money" because she wants to avoid being totally poor whenever something serious comes up. Women like stability. |
Teachers make 55k at 22 here. |
Why don't you earn more money so you don't have to worry about emergencies and whatnot? |
I'd rather date a guy who makes 50K than a guy who feels the need to gloat that his credit card bill is bigger than somebody's post-tax salary. My guess is that you are a real disappointment in the bedroom. |
