[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So money is how you’ll initially judge a person’s worth? Not values like honesty and respect?

Personally, I think you’re going about this the wrong way. [/quote]

This. [/quote]

It’s not that people value money but most men have issues making less money so why go in not a relationship knowing that will be an issue, why not mitigate the issue up front by not having the issue.

Maybe non of you have made more money than your partner but it’s an issue.[/quote]

People say this but I know plenty of men who are happy to support their partners.  My kid has a friend where the mom is an awesome engineer with a crazy resume and the Dad brags about how awesome his wife is.  My brother's wife is a CFO of a company and he's supported her every step of the way since college, taking the kids on trips so she could do her licensing exams in peace.[/quote]

I just posted - I make more than husband as a law partner. Many of my female partners do as well. Marry someone with good character who knows that their role as a good husband and father involves much much much more than earning money, and things can turn out great.[/quote]

OP wont be raising a new set of children with her partner so your situation of "aging together" when husband plays a supportive role to a career woman is different from OPs. 
I wouldn't take on board a struggling 52yo musician, when my career and assets are already built in midlife and there is no need for a stay at home parent. But OP can still date a wide range of rather well-off and educated men who make between 400k and 1m[/quote]

Honestly it matters even less when you aren’t working on a joint project of raising kids and building assets. Do they have good values? Are they fun? This isn’t life partnership 2.0.[/quote]

I don’t know. If the man is not supporting her in most endeavors it seems like he’s getting a real free ride. I wouldn’t want to get that nurse and purse [/quote]

A free ride how?  Why is she acting like a nurse? Or a purse? Again, that's life partnership stuff.  Both people are just having fun.[/quote]

Above posters explained: she would have to bank all their joint activities to maintain them at the same level as when she was single. You can argue - she was already doing all that while single, why not adding a poor musician guy to the mix? But for other women it's extremely NOT sexy. [/quote]
