So I have a shot? Not the OP but I just got on Bumble and I see a lot of obviously well off women in the professions mentioned. More educated and higher earning than me from what I can deduce. I've been passing them up for the most part assuming they won't look at someone who isn't in their same socio/economic status. Am I wrong to do so? Should I give them a shot?

My current SO of the past several years is a lower earner and the DCUM crowd would be absolutely appalled at how little he has has saved for retirement, although he will have a pension. He’s able to pay his bills and pay his own way so I don’t need to support him (nor would I). He’s kind and funny and attractive and I adore him. I’m financially secure and like the PP indicated- that allows me to date men without consideration of their own financial situation. It’s incredibly freeing. As long as you are responsible with your money and take care of yourself you may be surprised by the wealth of the women who would be attracted to you.

How do you go about joint purchases/vacations? If you prefer a 5* hotel and he can afford a hiking trip, it would be very expensive for him to "pay his way in"

I’d just pay for him.

I’m fully aware that very few men earn what I earn. Why refuse to date someone just because of their income. When you earn a lot, a high earning man becomes less attractive. As a pp said, it is freeing earning a lot of money when it comes to dating. I’m not after someone that would buy me expensive jewellery or bags or take me on expensive holidays. I have that already.

A friend of mine is a high earning executive/VP level at a large corporation. She has a sports coach partner, and they always argue over his hangups over lifestyle choices or her paying for him. He's very low key. I would also not pay for a man, but my income is not that high (around 300s). I prefer to spend extra savings on my close family and charity and think men should learn by certain age how to make money. The discrepancy between a school teacher's lifestyle and my lifestyle would be too wide for me to date one.

I do realize it limits my dating pool.

Travel is easy- he isn’t really in a place to take many vacations due to him having full custody of his kids, and he doesn’t really like to travel much anyway so I take most trips with girlfriends. On the few trips we do take each year I’ll normally pay for lodging and he’ll pick up the less expensive peripheral stuff. Neither of us make a big deal about it and we don’t actually discuss how to split things. He is very generous with what he does have and I’ve never felt taken advantage of. We normally trade off who pays for dinners out.
