Men, do you care about a woman’s salary or salary potential?

BS. if this were true, you'd all be married to hot girls who work at the mall. Or the girl who washes your hair. Or any other number of hot dull women. Men with decent financial potential and an ounce of common sense want a woman with either an impressive resume or earning potential. There are literally millions of women in this country who are generically "hot", and men don't want. Because they do in fact care about a women's aspirations/career/financials. They may try and act cool on this thread like they just care about boobs, but it's bullshit. And those that legitimately only married for boobs, in my experience, are pretty damn unfulfilled by their 30s..... |

+1. DCUM guys are apparently the rare outliers not participating in assortative dating/mating. It's a thing, and it is more common now than ever. I look at couples all around me and even the young guys in my office and no, they're not marrying for just hot by ANY means. The young guys in particular are repulsed by young women who don't seem to have any drive or ambition and are looking for men to take care of them, and these are guys who are earning good money and in a field where you can earn the big bucks. They're not looking for Hooters waitresses. Now maybe they will end up with a woman who wants to stay at home for a bit when kids are young, that is reasonable, but it's a red flag that would be her expectation from the get-go. There are many attractive (hot) women who also are passionate and driven, why would you settle for the GED hottie who works at the mall kiosk unless you thought that was the best you could do? |

Wow, a woman declaring what is important to men. How surprising... We don't care about your job, Darlene, or how much money you make. We care about attraction to you and who you are as people, that's it. Attraction is relative and unique to an individual. That you think your resume is going to get you a date, let alone laid, is laughable. Good luck with that. Signed, a man. |

I have 10M in the bank with a 450k/yr salary, and I am dating an artist/musician at the moment. I’ll likely end up marrying her. Her income last year was 50k but who cares? I even encourage her to teach music to less privilege kids for free because that’s one of her goals in life. She is a happy, caring, compassionate, and hot looking babe. That does it for me. |

That’s funny because I’m a woman with similar stats. The bulk i didn’t earn, it’s a trust. My income is about the same.
I won’t date a man who doesn’t earn similar- or could. I’m very not into being a sugar mama after financially paying off one husband- and I travel often and have a fairly large lifestyle. I don’t need men to pay for anything/buy me anything- but they have to be able to pay their own way to tag along. Even with my income and rare luck (trust), I deeply feel like my job is to grow and protect that money for my kids, not to splash it around loudly on some man. It’s different meeting when you’re both broke in your 20’s, for me, being wealthy and dating in my 40s has made me way less interested in inviting dead weight into my life. There just wouldn’t be enough respect there, I respect drive and self sufficiency too much to be an attracted to a guy who could be “kept”. |

| Men will always go for the young, hot, and kind woman. Generally men don’t want the uptight, entitled women of the DMV. |

Theres a big gap between "just boobs" and "impressive resume" I know a big law guy married to a hairdresser. It's not like she didn't go to college or she's dumb. Lots of men with money are married to women with educations and careers that are substantially smaller than theirs are. The advantage of having the big career is that you're more likely to be around those men so there's more room for something to develop, not that they wouldn't be just as happy with an elementary school teacher. This is why so many women at the top career wise are single, relative to the men- they aren't as desirable as they feel like they ought to be, and they don't get that the traits that make men attractive to them don't work the other way. |

| Yes. It’s not like I’m going to marry some woman that dabbles and teaches spin or Pilates 3 classes per week. $75-80 before tax. There’s not a market or retirement for old doing that and it’s not the intellectual stimulation I need. There are plenty of hot women that take the 6 classes per week but have a great day job/career. |

+100 My 26-year old nephew just married a doctor. She’s 5’10” and absolutely stunning. She could model. The other one is dating a girl fresh out of law school that looks like a young Elisabeth Shue. My sister is a smart cookie that always has her foot in the workforce, even though she went part-time when they were small. They had female role models that weren’t just bimbos or homemakers. |

With a poor attitude. I’d take the $75-80 before tax with a smoking body, kind heart, lovely personality over a high earning overworked grump any day. Retirement varies with income, if High income woman with a spending issue vs low income investor can have very different living costs. I don’t know one man who wants to retire with a grumpy old high income woman. Not a one. |

Men should be taught not to plan on a wife’s income, and women should be taught not to plan on being a SAHM. This would mean more flexibility after marriage and the ability to make the right decision for your particular marriage and family without resentment.
