[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age 25 and making $80k, no problem. Age 45? Problem. [/quote]

This. When I was young and single, I cared about education and potential more than current income. Now I'm in my 40's and married with kids, but if I was ever single again then lack of high income/wealth would be a deal breaker. Once guys are in their late 30's+, they're typically either successful or they're not going to be.

I made good money, made great investments, and saved a lot. If I was ever single again, then I would only be interested in men who were doing really well financially. I would never consider financing a man's lifestyle because that money would be for me and my kids. Plus I wouldn't be attracted to the type of man who would accept a woman supporting him or a man who wasn't driven to be successful. I would never downgrade my lifestyle to meet a man where he is either. The man needs to be a high earner or have high net worth to keep up.[/quote]

Keep up with whom, someone more interested in the guy's checkbook than the guy? No thanks.[/quote]

PP here. You're presuming that it's either or, and it's not. I'm married, but if ever single then I would want both the guy and the wealth. This isn't meant to be offensive to those who don't meet the requirements. It's just the truth for single women I know who are in a certain wealth bracket. They don't date down financially. The women you're dating likely wouldn't date a guy making $50K either. It doesn't mean they don't like you personally and only want your $150K or whatever your income is, but you're fooling yourself if you think your income doesn't qualify you at a basic level.
