| Yes OP, all the women you are attracted to only care about money. |

They aren’t doing it right. There are so many nonprofits in DC that pay decently at least. I made 105k plus awesome benefits at 34. |

| Life is expensive. I would be flummoxed if I met a mid-career person *satisfied* with making that salary, particularly in DC, which has become mind-numbingly pricey. You’re a white guy, right? You can get a much higher-paying job, like, tomorrow. |

| Do women only care about money? No. But women biologically want to seek out mates who can care for future children. You can barely even support yourself, so you aren't in a position to marry and have children. DH and I both are self supporting and I'm not a gold digger, nor did I want to be a SAHM. But things like disability can happen and I wouldn't want to be in a predicament because of a husband who can't support himself. |

The answer is the same. He has no money. Where can he take a date? When I made $50k, my food budget was around $80/week. Chick Fil a is around $25 for two people. No money means no honey. |

But what about hard work? At 50k, he's under the poverty line in DC |

He's going to have to be extremely hot to compensate for you paying all the travel expenses. |

| I married DH when we were both making about that BUT we were each living independently and not struggling financially in a MCOL area. Do you want a family? If so, have you considered how this would be possible in DC? Are you willing to budget that out and live frugally to accomplish this goal? In your case I think the main issue is that you are older, have been in the workforce a while, and are currently struggling to make ends meet even alone. This last piece is a red flag |

Pretty much. It indicates larger issues. |

People can work hard and remain in poverty, but it’s actually median for the US and two 50K salaries is enough in some areas here to get all your basic needs met. I’m not saying a woman should feel bad for wanting to marry somebody who makes more money. But I do think our society is waaaaay too materialistic. |

If he’s hot enough I’ll watch him drive me down to OBX. |

Basic needs doesn’t include daycare or college tuition for kids. |

I never said it did. I don’t know why im having this conversation. I just said I don’t like sending the message to men that they can’t have a romantic relationship if they don’t have money, and that I like the song lyric. I don’t think there is something wrong with an individual woman not wanting to be with a guy who makes 50K. |

I am positive you see bottlenecks and inefficiencies at the nonprofit you work at, I’m sure you have ideas on a better way to do whatever it is your organization does. Now your job is to find a better way to deliver whatever it is you deliver along with getting yourself a salary commensurate with your service, if you work for a small nonprofit the founder is probably known to you if not the person you directly report to, he’s not that smart is he? This is your time to build something great, this is your time to work yourself to the bone. The men who achieve real worthwhile things in this world for the most part have the ball rolling by 40, you’ve got six years left; remember this, what one man can do another can do. These women aren’t ditching you because of how much you make, these women are ditching you because they are looking at a mid-level information worker who probably has a chip on his shoulder at a young age. Don’t worry about your 50 K for now, go build something incredible and your compensation will be in direct proportion to your contribution, you will be drowning in broads if that’s what you really want. |
