There is a chic on here trying to get married by 50. She's 48.
Introduce your self....
You must name your first born Larla and tell Jeff so he can post it.

+1 I am also a woman who does online dating and I don't like it either. I find it to be boastful. The only aspects of your job/finances that I would really care about are whether you like your job, 'financially stable" etc.
I also make more than $200k so I share your concerns, OP. I don't want people to focus on how much I make, but on the rest of what my profile says. I don't list it on my profile.

Btw sale business in Internet speak means you sell vaccines door to door. If you don't care the amount of money your potential love brings in then by all means skip it.

But I wonder if I am missing out on some women who are not gold diggers but are looking for a stable financial partner who can makes enough to support the family should she wish to stay home with the kids, etc. I also wonder if I miss out on women in a similar income bracket who is looking for someone else in that bracket as it suggest similar personality traits and career aspirations.
What is your reaction when seeing income listed? Should I list it? How many other men list it? I never look at other men's profiles.
Yes. I try to respond to guys on the same page family wise, academically, and financially. $ for me can be a little less, equal, or more. A drastic difference with him under tends to fail.

No way. This area is crawling with gold diggers. Are you okay with being with one, potentially? And that would no the the worst of it.
No way.

No, don't put it. Personally, I ignore the 'income' part of a guy's profile even though I am looking for safe/stable, etc.

You could always choose the $100-$150K bracket. Not high enough to attract gold-diggers, and most of the financially stable, educated women I know would be fine with that income, so you wouldn't deter good women who want a guy who has some stability.

How about "financially stable" and leave it at that.

You put it out there on a hook, you will attract a certain type of fish. If you don't like that kind of fish, don't do it. The woman who has similar values and life goals will realize your financial stability as she gets to know you. Be patient.

Don't reveal your income because you can never be too sure about whether the site is secure. Also, it sounds desperate to list $$$ as one of your attributes. Meet the woman first before revealing any financial information.
Typically, men tend to keep this information to themselves well into the initial stages of the relationship.
