Men, do you care about a woman’s salary or salary potential?

The women hire other less educated women to raise their children. What a pathetic life to live.

Why is it the women hiring other people to raise their children? Are the men not reliant on that same child care to be able to work? Is it pathetic for him, too?

Yes. Such a misogynistic and misguided post. I have been working at home full time since my first child (now 15) was born. And before preschool my graduate degree mother and a grad student in education were helping out.

Agree. Kids are in school 6-7 hours a day by the time they are 5.

This seems to a low class or middle class issue. When you have the funds you can marry or date whomever with worry of income expectations. Low class problems

There’s a difference between blue collar working class and low class. You seem to be the latter

Most of these young women don’t have the funds so that is why they settle and end up being the cheaters on this site 10, 15 years down the road. They don’t have the means to leave.

But, correct, when you have a trust fund or your own good career, you have options. Very few have trust funds.

Ironically though, study after study shows that men of upper class and with money marry women with money and top degrees (i.e., high earning potential).

The men i know who "didn't care" about their future wife's earning potential were all solidly middle class, degree from a mediocre college, but making good money in sales-type jobs - almost scraping into UMC. They were very concerned about projecting their newfound economic status - but they were never "UMC" in the social class sense.

A 'top degree' could be a law partner married to someone with a masters in education. That's assortive mating, but her income potential is totally different from his. Or she has a PhD in a cool field and a prestigious job, but not much income potential. I see plenty of those couples. The idea that upper class guys are only marrying the woman with the big MBA or law degree isn't true, and isn't what studies show.

+1 Known plenty of big law partners who married low end earners. It’s not alway a high priority for mating.

I posted yesterday, or something like that. And now someone else has posted about a BigLaw partner, who married a hair dresser.

Truth is, a friend of mine, back in the day, a partner-track attorney at a big DC law firm who was then making 500K-plus, found himself very attracted to the woman who was cutting his hair every two weeks.

He asked her out, she said yes and they wound up married. She turned out to be a wonderful person for him to be with and a wonderful mother to their two children.

He didn't give a Goddamn about her job, just her as a person.

Trying to explain this to women is like talking to a fence post. Women insist we should value their advanced degrees and their "professional accomplishments."

We don't care about this crap in pursuit of potential mates. We as men simply do not think as women do.
