[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are a lot of men who don't want to marry someone who works in a tanning salon.

But there are plenty who will marry a teacher, a nurse, someone who works for the feds as a gs12 or 13 job in a not particularly impressive path. I think many men want a woman with a middle class or higher job.

But I don't think many care if a woman isn't, say, making 150 or 300 or 500k. 70 or 80 is fine. Whereas for many women, 80k is a big drawback if that is a man's salary.[/quote]

I just posted but yeah I completely agree with this.[/quote]

hhaaa.  You realize GS-13s-14s make $150.  GS-14 in STEM here who made $176k last year working from home.[/quote]

I said 12 or 13. Not 14.[/quote]

DP. I met my husband when I was 25 with a Masters Degree in Chem., NIH work experience and was a entry level GS-9.  In less than 5 years I was a GS-14. I also make close to $200k 25 years later with close to $2 million in my own 401k.  My point is : age matters.  Many people meet their spouses in their prune attractiveness/fertile years before they are rolling in bank.  My salary tripled over that time, but I had a great degree from a top university and a Masters degree.  My husband was an Ivy grad making the same $ when we met and married, but in less than 5 years time was making $450k.  We met at a work happy hour (my office was there and so was his).  We had no idea about each other’s backgrounds but we’re highly attracted to one another, both very attractive people.  The kind that turn heads. Also, witty and sharp and wit takes intelligence.   If I was a dummy or he was a dummy, we wouldn’t have ended up together and married 2 years later.  The entire package was there and our two sons (now in high school) are incredibly smart, good looking and very athletic.  We both were athletes in college and our oldest is now being recruited as well.  From that happy hour, there were similar matches, just like at alumni events that were big back then.[/quote]
