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

[Anonymous]

No, I only care about goals and ambition. If she wants to be the best ES teacher then I‘m all for it.

I think this is how most men are they don' really care much about the actual figure just that she has some goals for herself and lives within her means.

Depends on how old and how hot she is

I'm a sahm and have never worked a full time job (married young).

But, I had no debt and had merit scholarships that paid for college, and I'm naturally frugal.

And we have a lot of kids (more than 3)

salary not important, but she needs to have huge tracts of land.

Why? Because you may have to be an adult and pull your own weight? You sound like a lazy freeloader.

DP here. I'm not sure that I fully agree with what the pp is saying here, but the truth is that most women do more of the domestic work than the men (even though sometimes the men can mistakenly think they're splitting it fairly). So if these types of men expect the woman to bring home their fair share of the bacon and also do more domestic work (whether they realize it or not), then that's unfair.

It’s a nice-to-have, not a have-to-have, and there are some trade offs given the well-documented preference many women have for spouses who make more than they do. Also have to weigh how much conflict might arise due to differing career priorities. It is not an unalloyed good.

Women having successful careers is an import role model for daughters.

If by salary potential you mean long legs and a perky butt, yes. I require strong salary potential in my women

?? Are in the wrong thread? Or just just wanted to point out that even someone was willing to marry you, having never worked in your life?

[Anonymous]

No.

[Anonymous]

Nope, if she is young a sexy.

Even if they do take some time off or cut back hours.

It is also VERY important for sons too. They don’t see woman as only homemakers. I see a pervasive attitude among men who had mothers that never worked and it’s not usually a good one.

My sons are very proud of what I do and used to have me come in on career day or the STEM days.

They respect women in the workforce vs men that still have the 1950s attitude that there wife will remain in the home. I would never marry a guy that wanted a SAH wife. It’s one thing to come to a mutual agreement about it, but it’s a different man that wants someone home 100% doing any and all domestic duties. Balance of power is f@cked.
