| At one time women looked to increase their skills to be able to parent and men looked to increase their skills to be able to provide monetarily people were viewed highly if they had a lot of skills and were self-assured enough to realize it was important to develop their whole selves and relate to others and not just rely on this main responsibility to the family or their looks to compensate for other areas of life. Stop viewing other people as objects and hopefully, you'll meet others that don't do the same and actually respect you for your wealth as well as your other characteristics. |

The OP specifically asked about income and status. But if the question is "can women really love somebody who has zero ambition and will never be financially stable," the answer is yes, it happens all the time. But not every woman will. Just some men will love a woman who isn't beautiful, but not all of them. |

| Sure. But for the most part cohabitating with a man makes a woman’s life harder. This is a fact we just accept as a society 🤷♀️ |

I disagree. I am married to a man who absolutely makes my life easier. And yes, I work. I make much less than him, but he still helps with all things with kids and around the house. |

Yes, of course. Happens all the time. |

| Yes. I was in love at 19 and was with him for 7 years. We obviously did not have money. |

Let’s not forget that a great many perfectly normal and acceptable men are totally invisible to women. |

| Men are not loved unconditionally is the answer. Not like women and children are. Even the best examples here the woman would lose attraction if the guy started acting whiny or had a mental health crisis or some other thing. |

Ha! What?
I'm a white collared woman that makes 3x my husband. He's blue collar and from poverty. Love him very much. |

Their mommas love them unconditionally. |

| Is it possible for a man to fall in love with a woman ignoring what she brings to the table? Just overlook her pocked skin and fat belly and fall for her sparkling personality? |

That is an assumption. True for some, not for many others. I know of a family where the mother barely tolerates the sons. Far prefers the daughters. |

Yes, they can.
My first love when I was 23 (and young, and very cute) was a man who didn’t have a job. His kindness won me over. Unfortunately he was also deeply depressed, and I finally had to give up after 2 years. He couldn’t hold a job, stopped basic hygiene, and his depression caused me to spiral into one, too. Had he been able to keep some sense of normalcy, even holding a minimum wage job, there’s no doubt I would have married him. I was deeply in love with my H, who makes less than me and has far less status than me. But after our child was born he decided he wanted to go back to bachelorhood, family life was too much of a drag for him. Most women I know don’t really care all that much about money or status. Most of us just want to be loved and cherished. |
