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

[Anonymous]

When I was dating I would have found that very appealing! Part of what I wanted in a mate was some stability.

I guess I'd have worried someone with their life enough together to have $1 million would find me too haphazard and chaotic, back then.

I'm 33 and I would say a 2? I expect the men I date already have money. And $1 mill isn't going to suddenly mean living in a mansion. Honestly, if you're wanting to improve your dating prospects, the best advice is to go to the gym, shed any excess fat, get muscular, fix your hair if youre balding, that kind of thing. Looks matter way more to most women, except the desperate ones, though few women will admit it.

And I should add that I wouldnt date broke men anyway, but your response would probably be different if you asked it in a very poor area of say rural Alabama. On the coasts, 1 million just doesnt change THAT much. But for a man who looks sexy, you'll be way more forgiving!

All things being equal, a partner with financial assets is better than one without assets. It's not golddigger levels of money, but it's indicative of someone who is responsible (or got an inheritance).

Of course if somebody is 30 and has no cash on hand that's a red flag, but what matters in a relationship is being on the same page with spending, saving, and how much time you want to devote to a career. It's actually not that hard to blow a million dollars in a year if you start comparing yourself to millionaires. I'd way rather date somebody who was renting, had a stable job, and had a solid plan for retirement. And who valued relationships over career.

+1. 1 million is not a lot of money. I'd say most white collar professionals have at least 1 million in assets by their 40s even if they started in debt. So without debt, you'd have that in your 30s.

Lol the majority of white collar professionals don’t have 1 million. The delusion is real.

My two cents would be that if you want to improve dating prospects, improve your personality. And I genuinely don't think that looks matter way more to most women than money but I'm not sure there is really any kind of solid data on that.

It matters. Along with overall career potential. Let’s not kid ourselves, a great personality won’t pay for kids braces and violin lessons…

I am a 40s woman, but i remember how I felt as a 20s woman, and it would not have mattered to me (but now it does!). When I was a young hot woman, I was about chemistry and feelings only. If it turned out that guy also had money, then cool, he can pay for drinks sometimes -- but also I was not ready to get married, so not necessarily relevant. I was not a smart young dater, haha! Eventually in my 30s I married a guy I loved at 20 years old, so he is hot and my type and now he also has money.
