[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with this thread is the word “settle”. Some people determine others’ worth by income. Some (like me) don’t. I would feel like I am settling if I married a man who is cold, distant, and doesn’t care for others. I would be settling regardless of his income level. Similarly, I would feel like I won the jackpot by marrying a loving man who contributes positively to our home and to the greater society, regardless of income level. 
Give me a good, honest man making $80K over anybody angry, unethical, or cold. (Disclaimer: I am not saying wealth=bad or that people who make more can’t be “good” people. I’m merely saying that a certain combination of factors is more important to me personally than others.)[/quote]

I think what the poster who said “settle” may have been trying to say is that women want good honest men, who make $200+, in the same way (some) men want thin, accommodating women who want to watch sports— often one of the factors has to be abandoned and so some women will abandon the finance attribute in the same way some men marry heavy women.[/quote]
