I'm a 29-year-old male, 5'10", earning $300K a year as an AI engineer, but I'm struggling with the dating scene. Most of the women I meet are teachers, school administrators, or accountants, aged between 24 and 29. The problem is that many of them expect their partner to be at least six feet tall and earn over $500K annually. Are these women expecting too much?
It took me seven years to grow my salary from $150K in 2017 to $300K today. According to salary percentiles, I'm in the top 1% of earners for my age group. If someone like me is facing challenges in the dating market, I can't imagine how tough it must be for guys who earn less. How many guys my age make at least $500K per year? |

Assuming this is not a troll post, you really need to focus on something other than your salary when you think about what would make you attractive to women. I struggled with dating, too, but when I met my wife at 28 I was a student with a pretty small budget. What made me interesting was that I had actual hobbies, and I was nice to her and reliable.
Maybe join some hobby-based groups or a church or something? Yes, there are some women who are looking for $500k+ as the main thing they want in a guy, but those women would make horrible girlfriends and wives. Look for women who are going to be compatible with you long term. And I’m not talking about how they perform in bed—I’m thinking whether you’re going to be able to manage a household together, dividing up chores and childcare in an equitable manner, and whether you actually share any of the same interests. |

At 5'10 and 300k, you have passed the superficial check list for most women.
There is something else going on with you. |

| If you focus on salary as the most important part of your personality, you’re going to attract women who view salary as the most important part of your personality. |

They aren’t expecting too much. You are struggling because you are a loser. I make 10x less and I’m attracting plenty of women. It’s less about money, it’s more about your personality. |

The simplest answer is usually the correct one.
In this case, it boils down to your personality. |

| You must be an insufferable ass or dating above your attractiveness level. Leave those women alone, they don’t want you. Maybe try lowering your standards and smiling more. |

| OP, try parting your hair in the middle. Sounds crazy, but it works. |

You probably are trying to date very pretty, perfectly looking girls. That would make you compete with men in mid 30-40s who make millions. It was very easy for me in mid 20s to date the business elite in my city: men who had yachts, only flew first class, had own investment banks.
You need to date within your lane by the looks |
