[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I finally met a lovely man. I think he runs deficit of about $700 every month. He works his tail off and didn't buy anything outrages. It's temporary and I will gladly help him fix it. I would even help him if we weren't together.[/quote]

Really? You would financially help a single adult man? Mega turn off.[/quote]

Yeah, nope. I’ve established my life independently and am not tying myself to just another dead weight. [/quote]

So what kind of income/wealth do you expect a man to have?[/quote]

Enough disposable income to match mine. Enough free time to match mine. [/quote]

Sure, but what constitutes matching yours?[/quote]

I'm a woman make about 300K a year. My average weekend outing is about $150; I take one large vacation a year at about $20K, couple small trips in the range of $5k. So it's about $15,000 on travel and $3600 on dates that a BF would need to match my expenses on entertainment and travel only. If we move in together, we would be saving on mortgage/rent so not a bad deal for him overall[/quote]

I’m similar to you financially as are most of my friends.  We’ve all come to realize that we are the ones that can afford our lifestyle.  It means we don’t date and while we miss it, we don’t miss the drama that goes along with being in a relationship.  We go out together on the weekends and always have a good time.  And we travel together.  I haven’t met a man in a similar financial situation yet.[/quote]

Sincere question: are you Black? All of the details in the previous 2 posts ring true for my Black professional female acquaintances.  I''m not so sure they actually clear >$300K (unless they have some small biz side gig?) but they live life on IG as if they do.

And they don't date, for the most part.  In Maryland, fwiw[/quote]
