[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOl! if women are making that much then it is ok to expect more otherwise no need to find a loser that can't make her own money and expect you to earn for her.

I dunno if he could keep the house clean and have dinner ready, that would be pretty awesome.  If he actually lived up to his end of the bargain and took care of all the household stuff, that would be pretty great.[/quote]

Exactly. Men who make $120k would never be able to meet the expectations of high standard household maintenance and parenting. Women who make $250k are a very different breed with high standards in everything .
So the low paying meh would rather complain at these women being “gold diggers” or just marry women who make under $120k. [/quote]

Huh. I’ve never equated high standards with money. I have extremely high standards… for behavior and respect, in particular.

I know wealthier people who can’t meet my standards. [/quote]

That’s not my experience. People who make that much money also have higher standards for everything else in life. Eg to and self care routine, vacations types (quality site seeing vs cheap cruises or gastro tours), cleaner houses, kids upbringing. In most cases higher earning capacity is related to higher organizational skills. I dated a bunch of men who made much less than me and I was also bored around them. Very limited interests, life experience etc

I’m sorry you have such a limited worldview.

I decided to go into a service profession because I believe the true value in a person’s work is what they can give back to community. I could have waltzed into a higher paying job, but that wouldn’t have aligned with my values. I’m not motivated by money. I fail to see how a “quality” vacation is any better than a roadtrip down 95. The destination doesn’t make the trip one of “quality,” rather, the people around me do that.

And kid upbringing? Money doesn’t make you a better parent than others. Perhaps you can outsource more? And if so, how is that better parenting when it’s often something you can do yourself?

But perhaps you’d be bored around me. We don’t sound like we’d have similar interests.

Sorry not sorry that I prefer to see world cultural treasures and the nature and geological wonders. I doubt you spend your time studying Rafael painting technique vs Leonardo. I kinda enjoy being able just to hop on a plane to see exhibits that I always wanted to see, or to see a show. Of course when you invest the money in your kids they grow more social, less plugged into their screens, want to invent and achieve something, speak multiple languages. My 19 yo speaks 3 languages at native level, won in their college tech challenge (installing a portable communications system to address college wifi system gaps), and just got an internship at a tech company. That is all thanks to tutors they had, and excellent school they went to. That started from me buying a house in that neighborhood and earning good money to begin with.

Money can’t buy class. You have a lot one, but none of the other.[/quote]
