Not trolling, just, wow- guess not many come from SF/NYC/Boston where that's completely normal.

I agree. Basically op is just saying she wants to date a man with a professional job. In other words, some sort of office worker.

I dated a good bit before meeting and marrying my husband and almost every man I dated made this sort of salary by the time he was in his 30s

I highly doubt OP would turn down a resident doctor or someone in grad school, just started a business etc. she just wants a motivated man with a college degree, which isn't that unusual.

This is OP.

The responses to this thread have been funny.

I am not expecting a 25 year old with a 150k salary. I am looking at men in their 30s. At least by 35 almost all men in the DC area make about much. From what I gather that is the minimum amount required in order to have a house, and provide for a child and a SAHM in this area. I want to stay with my kid at home for a few years and would need to depend on my husband and so he needs to be able to support that.

And honestly as a marriage minded woman, I am not seeking to be CEO. I earn enough to live, get a mani pedi and by my beauty products. With a husband, I will be more than okay.

Bahahaha.

*Enter OP, who pours gasoline on the already ridiculous thread*

Also 30something guys here, if you were single would you date someone with my profile?

At 32, I am realistic and realize marriage and children may not be in the cards for me. I do not want to marry for the sake of marriage. I want real love. Its so unsettling to wake up one day and realize every eligible man you meet is married or engaged.

[Anonymous]

There are no good single men at all in the D.C. area.

Are you crazy?? DC has TONS of eligible guys. They mostly hang out in Clarendon and are 25-27. These types will grow up to be the bankers and the lawyers women want to marry.

Almost all doctors make that much, you mean.

If you wanted the SAHM life an that salary you've missed the boat. You have to lock a guy like that down in your 20's. If you wanted to go the SAHM route and find that salary you should have dated one of these 30 yr old men and locked him down in your 20's. If that's truly the lifestyle you want you need to bump your search up in age and start looking for a 40-45 yr old man who could provide that lifestyle or move to an area like Austin where COL is cheaper and there's still a lot of high earners like you're looking for. Today's crop of 30 yr old men looking to find a SAHM are looking at women in their 20's. You have to realize you're fishing in a very very small pond. If you keep such narrow search parameters you need to realize you might not just put being a SAHM at risk but being a mother if you keep waiting for the dream guy that doesn't exist. And no, most men by 35 in the DC area don't make 150k a year. That's the wonderful thing about census data it's easy to see. Only 25% of Households (not individual) make between 100k-200k in the DMV. 15% make 200k or more.

Cut it out with the census data already. Jesus Christ. You people are relentless. Someone who is a college educated professional (whether you count Op or not in that group is up to you) is not going to be dating in the bottom 50% most places you go. INCLUDING HERE in DC. Do you people have any friends who are not under-achieving college people? These are the folks who never got a college education (I realize many people in trade jobs make a lot, we are talking many of the others), they never finished high school, they are living on government handout. HELLO, DC?

Are you people suggesting she start dating the welfare recipients? Someone who don't have a lick of college?

Ridiculous. Just cut the BS already.

1. I won't bash you for your goals. That's the exact setup my wife and I have. I am in your age demographic (mid-30s) and make nearly double your desired income threshold. But then again, I made $30k when my wife married me.

2. 75% of HOUSEHOLDS make less than $140k in the DC Area (note: that includes dual earner households). So, no, nearly all men do not make $150k in DC by their mid-30s. That number is probably closer to 5%.

3. The vast majority of guys that do make that kind of money tend to be risk averse strivers. They marry women they meet when they are young or in grad school. The only real exception is men in high finance.

4. To answer your question, you face long odds for what you're looking for. Maybe try to get into a top MBA program?

my husband is a phd engineer with a successful career at a great company. he only broke 150k at 41-42 or so. the idea that everyone makes 150k or more around here is preposterous.

Ridiculous. These people are absurd.

I don;t know any woman who is a SAHM who is married to a guy 8 years her senior. Every couple I know is the same age or within a few years of each other.

I know my worth. At 32 I am not a crypt keeper. I got unlucky in my twenties and ended up with a guy who had a horrible family. My friends were lucky in that their boyfriends did not have that problem. I had a choice to go ahead and marry him and deal with shitty in laws my whole life and expose any potential children I have to a toxic family model or leave. I left.

I know I possess all the qualities to attract a quality man but I also know I am older and saw first hand have the good guys were snatched up by their mid to late twenties. So now the pool is smaller. I'm probably looking for someone like me in his early thirties whose last relationship did not workout for whatever reason. And being realistic, I want to move ahead with my life and apply to MBA programs as that has been another dream of mine. I will try to make as many of my dreams come true with or without a guy.

Yeah, but so is throwing around Census Data. If you got out of your PhD social bubble you'll know there is a whole world out there of people neither you nor I will ever touch with a 10 foot dating pole, and it has nothing to do with my income.
