OP, women, or anyone for that matter, being concerned about money does not make them self centered. It’s a very practical concern about being able to adequately provide for children, be prepared for a rainy day, be able to get some enjoyment in life without unreasonable struggle etc. It’s not out of bounds, and if you aren’t thinking with a practical mindset that may be the problem in and of itself. |
Meghan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, City Girls, and Saweetie have all been telling you the answer to your question for several years now. |
Leadership roles at nonprofits pay more than 65k. |
Most young women care more about looks these days than money. On OLD most guys struggle even rich ones unless they're tall and good looking. |
No, but most women and presumably most adults care about having stable housing, saving for retirement, having a family that includes children and being able to provide clothes, food, toys and some experiences for those kids.
As many people have pointed out, this isn’t about making $500k, this is about not being in poverty. $50k may be livable salary outside the DC metro area, but near DC it will be hard to get by. Not all jobs are for all people. It’s not right or fair, but it’s true. Some jobs and associated salaries are best suited for trust fund babies and people (usually women) who have a high earning spouse. As a man in one of those jobs, your choice is to either build skills and demonstrate to a future spouse that you will be able to be the primary homemaker and parent OR get a higher paying job. |
That’s not why your wife thinks you are a loser. |
Those are some class acts right there ![]() What have they been telling us? Are they seeking lots of "stability" from men, just like the other women on this thread? |
It’s so funny how, when men ask a question like this, women project onto it an assumption the man is looking for a wife and kids, when it’s probably the case he’s just asking how to get consistent sex. |
Broke dudes don't deserve no .... ![]() |
Okay that is kind of funny. I think you’re right. Which means that he is pretty clueless. Most women don’t want to get into long-term FWB situation with a guy who isn’t marriage material, maybe unless the guy has a lot of great qualities. Money doesn’t necessarily have to be one of them, but looks, confidence, being funny, treating women really well…unlikely that OP has those things in spades . |
But that tells you that his priorities don't align with women's priorities so if he wants consistent sex he needs to get his money up. He also must not be attractive because good-looking broke dudes are smashing. |
I think that lyric is awful and contrary to my values. What matters is love and a person’s character. And I always giggle when I hear it. Its sort of amazing. |
Then you should date OP! Where is he, OP your perfect match is here! |
If I knew for sure it was never going to lead to marriage my list of qualities would be completely different. Marriage track: good father, equal partner at home and work, take care of me when I’m sick, fair fighter, kind, funny, etc. Non-marriage track: great at oral, hot, fun to travel with. |
Ewww! I’m happily married and I’m repulsed by OP’s vaguely incel-like way of looking at women. |
