[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christ people this thread is eyeopening.. 150k is NOT an absurd threshold at all!!! I don't think I know any guys making LESS than that and I'm in my late 20's.

Not trolling, just, wow- guess not many come from SF/NYC/Boston where that's completely normal.[/quote]

I agree. Basically op is just saying she wants to date a man with a professional job. In other words, some sort of office worker.

I dated a good bit before meeting and marrying my husband and almost every man I dated made this sort of salary by the time he was in his 30s

I highly doubt OP would turn down a resident doctor or someone in grad school, just started a business etc.  she just wants a motivated man with a college degree, which isn't that unusual.  [/quote]

This is OP.

The responses to this thread have been funny.

I am not expecting a 25 year old with a 150k salary. I am looking at men in their 30s. At least by 35 almost all men in the DC area make about much. From what I gather that is the minimum amount required in order to have a house, and provide for a child and a SAHM in this area. I want to stay with my kid at home for a few years and would need to depend on my husband and so he needs to be able to support that.

And honestly as a marriage minded woman, I am not seeking to be CEO. I earn enough to live, get a mani pedi and by my beauty products. With a husband, I will be more than okay.

1.  I  won't bash you for your goals. That's the exact setup my wife and I have.  I am in your age demographic (mid-30s) and make nearly double your desired income threshold. But then again, I made $30k when my wife married me.

2.  75% of HOUSEHOLDS make less than $140k in the DC Area (note: that includes dual earner households). So, no, nearly all men do not make $150k in DC by their mid-30s. That number is probably closer to 5%.

3.  The vast majority of guys that do make that kind of money tend to be risk averse strivers. They marry women they meet when they are young or in grad school. The only real exception is men in high finance.

4.  To answer your question, you face long odds for what you're looking for. Maybe try to get into a top MBA program?[/quote]

Thanks for your response!  :)

I know. The guys like this I knew all paired up when we were about 25 26 to whatever girl they were dating then. So I know the pool is now very small.

As a mind thirties guy, do you know any guys in your friends group who would go for an early thirties woman like me?

BTW what do you do to make that much? Wow! good for you!![/quote]
