[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a couple of women like some of you.  One is quote good looking and can't seem to understand why she cannot get beyond LTR for a few years.  Basically the guys realize how tied she is to the money and lifestyle and do not want to just be a bottomless wallet and they end it.  Another one actually made it to marriage and it took about 5 years of marriage before he realized that he couldn't really afford to stay married and he divorced her, but she makes it out because he was a loser and didn't make enough to support a family (he did, just not up to her standards).[/quote]

I mean…there are levels to this. A lot of posters said 100k or about what they make. This doesn’t sound like a gold digger situation but, rather, people looking for other professionals with stable careers who can financially contribute to building a family, saving for retirement etc. I wouldn’t be able to support a family on my salary so I’d need to partner with someone who made at least what I do if I was dating and looking to have kids.

This isn’t to say there aren’t people who want to marry rich to live in luxury but there is also a practical component to having a “salary requirement”. [/quote]

Yeah, I was more referring to the $200K+ categories.  The spinster above only wants to date doctors, lawyers, financial types.  She is a catch, but too many strings and that's why she has never made it passed LTR.  The latter married a guy making probably about $150-175K.  She wanted to be able to quit her job and be a SAHM and she didn't think he made enough money for that.  He finally realized it would be better to be a co-parent than continue to deal with that.[/quote]
