Your wrinkled 40 year old a$$ isn’t making enough money.

Tell my multiple dates per week, they didn't get the message

Cool, but I guarantee their friends think you’re gross.

$100-200k plus bonuses in his 20s

$250k-$750k all-in in his 30s

$500k-2m in his 40s

Consult and sit on boards after age 55

Investing most of the excess money.

I’m a director in big tech. I have lots of you on my team. You all are smart and usually have a great sense of humor. You are kind and caring and you tend to value education. You are the whole package, you just need a bit of tidying up. Luckily that pretty easy to do. A good haircut, some manscaping, a trip to the dept store with a personal shopper and the women will be flocking to you.

And no aspergers.

THe guy you described is going to have a permanently revolving door of 25 year old girlfriends until he's 80. He doesn't need to marry

I’m always trying to improve at work and am looking at what it takes to get to the next level. I don’t think I would be happy with a beta personality. So my answer is if I can earn $200k, why can’t he?

Date/marry someone who is a doer/has drive toward something that matters. The money will follow.

Nooooo! Don't marry potential. It was a way of disappointing you

I would say $200K is the new $100K, would not date anyone who made less. Life is just too expensive. Also, it's a little less than I earn and I consider myself pretty feeble so a man earning less must have some serious issues unless involved in a high-prestige or high-creativity low-paying career, like basically science research/professional musician/published writer/working artist.

That said, a guy who is successful in one of these lesser-paid areas who is willing to shoulder more burden at home and is nice, fun/funny, brings an interesting life & social circle to the table, and is a good partner could also be appealing. Between the two of us $350+ is a nice lifestyle with the right person and 1-2 children.

Lol you sound absolutely miserable to be around. The amount of single men making 200k is so small that you are limiting your dating pool to maybe 1% of the the entire US population. I guarantee you are not a 1% catch either.

I am so happy I moved out of DC years ago to get away from people like this.

I'm the above poster and I wasn't really referring to someone who is 30 or 32. When my DH was that age we both made $75K. But but late 30s you should be looking at $180K or above, and in your 40s $200K and above ideally.

So in the 5 years between 32 and 38 you're expected to more than double your salary?

Would you prefer he has a high paying job that he hates and possibly working 60+ hours or something he enjoys. Money cannot buy happiness. If you are worried only about money, move on

I mean not necessarily. Starting salary for an entry level associate (so, mid-20s) is currently $215K. A guy could get married in his 20sor early 30s and still wind up making a ton in 15 years.

Mine made more than I ever expected -- but, it was incredibly demanding on me to get there with him and I had to give up essentially everything I wanted out of life except children, and him.
