How much would $1 million matter to you in dating?

The question is geared more towards younger women but for older women, the dollar amount could be adjusted to say $2 million.

I am 45 and that is nothing to me. I have several reals estates that worth much more than that, nice TSP and IRA and separate investment account. I don't care if the man comes with $1 or $2 mil. Would not make any difference in my lifestyle at all.

DCUM is a privileged bubble. Median income for 45-54 year olds in the US is $168,000, yet this pp thinks someone without five-ten times that amount is "irresponsible"!!

I think you got your statistics wrong.

I meant to write median wealth for 45-54 year olds is $168,000.

Sorry, owning a condo and having money saved for retirement isn't likely to tip the needle that much.

It's funny seeing all these lying as responses. Reality shows otherwise.


I'll grab my popcorn and eagerly await all the responses calling me names, digging in their heels that they wouldn't care at all, doing their best Markle impression asking if he's kind, and saying when they met DH 20 yrs ago they were poor as church mice, but they had the same goals and grew together.

Also, there's a funny sort of humor watching some of them claim some sort of superiority because you wouldn't be phased while bragging about you own assets.

Does that make him more attractive?

No.

Must be a pretty small house.

Would not make much difference. I’d want them to be financially responsible. Rich dude offered to fly to my town to visit with me. I assume he is rich due to his Hollywood profession. No thanks. I was not attracted to him at all. He got married later and now his wife wears $1000 shoes. I don’t regret my decision because I’m still not attracted to him.

Dude, we only mention assets when the question asks about assets. I bet most of the people here who said that they think a stable job and money sense is way more important that a dude’s net worth have plenty of assets, but they didn’t mention that.

Also note the (accurate) comment that 1M net worth just isn’t a lot for successful people in their thirties, so that’s not going to be that impressive for anybody who is successful, and not at all for a smart gold digger.

He can get models to do that for him for free, so he's not going to pay some skeevy old white guy for it.

I mean a lot of posters are saying that guy wouldn’t be rich enough for them, so. I don’t really see a lot of “money doesn’t matter” replies actually.

I'm 45 so I wouldn't find $1M impressive at all, especially if it were tied up in investments. $5M.....that's a different story. Not that I would date him specifically for his money but it would show that he is good with finances, which is an important trait in a partner.

At 27, it was still important to me to look for a long-term partner who had good financial skills so $1M at that age would have been a plus but it wouldn't have been a deal-breaker either way. If he were $500K in debt, that's another story!

That’s why I said YOUNGER women. Of course the threshold for wealth changes as you get older. I am 30 and not interested in dating 45-year-olds. I am looking to date women in their 20s and for most of them, $1 million actually *is* a lot of money.

I'm 50. Not having money is a deal breaker - not interested in dating anyone who can't support himself. But having money is not going to overcome some flaw, like a serious lack of attraction.
