| I have a child-free friend that makes $250k as a pilot. Her DH is also a pilot but makes less. She also received a substantial inheritance from her family. Yet he feels she should do more around the house like his mother and MIL do. She loves him but if something happens to him, he has no intention of remarrying. She has no desire to be some new guy's nurse or purse, particularly one with kids. |

Look for an older, never-married woman who is nice but on the plain side. Ideally, an only child with a future inheritance. Just aim older and less attractive but educated on the apps- and then do your sleuthing. |
A lot of identifying info here. |
| All the people with wealth that I know only date other people with wealth, but good luck! There's nothing wrong with being upfront about what you want. |
| I’m in my 40s. I have 10+ million - all from my husband (he didn’t have any money when I met him). One of the reasons I liked him was that he was a hard worker, just like my blue collar family. All of them worked really hard to get to MC and some UMC. I wouldn’t be attracted to someone without ambition. I’ve also become accustomed to a certain lifestyle. I would not be interested in OP at all. |
| I am mid 40s. I make a little over 200. I would not date you: I date younger men. I don’t care what they do for a living because I’m never getting married again. A man your age has no usefulness for me (especially one who wants a serious relationship for me to bankroll his life). No thanks. |

Haha! She wouldn't be caught dead on here. |
You dated those guys casually but didn’t marry them or combine finances. There was no reason to do those things |
| I think first you probably need to abandon your children. |
DCUM double standard on full display! The man is always wrong. |

OP: I'm a good looking mid 40s woman making around 380K/year. I do date men who are lower income but 120K is WAY too low. My date would be a university professor, a public figure/official, or someone otherwise very distinguished and/or educated. I just like men who are interesting. But it's never that high income discrepancy as you describe: they were all making between 170-300K.
Also, I'm not really looking for wealthy men: they are often unattractive, boring and very limited in their world and life outlook. There are plenty of men on apps who are real estate developers, in IT, contractors etc who make millions a year. Not one of them ever caught my attention for anything long term So OP - if you get a great career, a name in your field, a slightly higher salary - why not? |
Sexist. |
Matt Damon did. I mean I don’t know if she is as boring as an economist (jk OP I’m an economist) |
120k is WAY too low....Just imagine dating a woman who speaks this way.... |
