[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird comment from him

Thought he was talking about being more attractive at first

Focus on being attractive, fun to be around and not crazy

Those attributes are way more important to a man than your career status if you are just talking about dating

By the time things get serious, your career will be on a better track[/quote]

+1 Most guys couldn't care less about your academic credentials and earning potential. It's probably only an issue to guys who live beyond their means or are obsessed with status. And for guys with money, all of that stuff is even less relevant. If you are feminine, non-militant, and try to complement your man, you will be just fine.[/quote]

Some of the above posts are harsh....but most men I know want women whom are their peers education and salary potential wise. They may not be as crazy about like women, but its def counted for. Didn't women fight for equality?

Being the sole breadwinner is stressful.

How old are you people posting stuff like this? Mid 40’s at least I’m guessing? Nowadays, a woman’s a catch if she has her life together, which means higher education in a marketable field, no student loans, and family wealth. The days of the cute, dumb secretary having her pick of guys are over unless her family is wealthy.[/quote][/quote]

I posted that first one and I'm in my early 30s

I am more concerned that my wife fits in socially than having a high paying job. So having her be my peer in terms of education, professional culture etc is important so she doesn't seem like a hick when I introduce her to people. But if she used her education to make minimum wage as some quasi volunteer or something I wouldn't mind terribly.

It's nice that she makes a decent salary (almost 80% of mine) but if there is a day when I'm making a ton of money (like 250k or something) I wouldn't mind if she were a stay at home mom or worked half time and we could live on my salary.

250k is a ton of money to you? No wonder you’d be fine with a 29 year old just starting her degree. No offense but your standards are lower. I’m in my early 30’s married to someone making 7 figures. We have wealthy parents and my husband insisted that I stay at home with our children, and maybe work PT later, but he had also absolutely required that his wife have a graduate degree. He also required someone who looked like a model. Most of our peers are in the same situation, so I don’t blame the lawyer guy for wanting to date a more qualified woman. He needn’t have told OP she’s out of his league, but most educated men nowadays want a woman who’s the whole package.[/quote]
