I agree. Basically op is just saying she wants to date a man with a professional job. In other words, some sort of office worker.

I dated a good bit before meeting and marrying my husband and almost every man I dated made this sort of salary by the time he was in his 30s

I highly doubt OP would turn down a resident doctor or someone in grad school, just started a business etc. she just wants a motivated man with a college degree, which isn't that unusual.


This is OP.

I would not turn down a resident doctor or someone in graduate school.

The responses to this thread have been funny.

I am not expecting a 25 year old with a 150k salary. I am looking at men in their 30s. At least by 35 almost all men in the DC area make about much. From what I gather that is the minimum amount required in order to have a house, and provide for a child and a SAHM in this area. I want to stay with my kid at home for a few years and would need to depend on my husband and so he needs to be able to support that.

And honestly as a marriage minded woman, I am not seeking to be CEO. I earn enough to live, get a mani pedi and by my beauty products. With a husband, I will be more than okay.

That's not the point. The point is that OP has made a man's salary one of her top priorities in a man, but also expects him to not be a workaholic, and be fun, etc. Meanwhile she brings in $60k a year.


And guess what? Guarantee you that most men on the dating scene expect OP to be hot and eventually the expectation is she will have a man's children for him.



That's a lot more realistic. Hot enough women are plentiful, and plenty of those want kids. So what is your point?

I am just saying the people yelling gold digger around here must be from out of town. Around here 150k is modest.


If you consider $150k modest, there are lots of words to call you.

OP, you are not that special. your salary requirement is ridiculous. but even more ridiculous was breaking up with your boyfriend because your imaginary children would be exposed to "racist" grandpa.

crawl before you walk. it's very questionable whether you will ever have children.

$100k HOUSEHOLD income is considered low income in San Francisco. That means two people earning $50k each is low income in SF. In the SF Bay Area, the median income was $88k in 2016. I need to find more data, but I'd be mildly surprised if $150k income is anything less than top 15% for the Bay Area and probably around top 10% when age adjusted.


Okay, having trouble finding individual data, but $141k is top 25% HOUSEHOLD income in SF Bay Area. I stand by my theory that $150k would be at least top 15% of individual incomes in the Bay Area and at least top 10% for an early 30s man in he SF Bay Area. I guess absurd is a matter of opinion, but even in the Bay Area she would be reducing the pool to 10% of men. Then account for the facts that (a) a material percentage of that 10% are already attached and (b) a significant percentage of that 10% are going to be socially awkward tech workers, and it becomes clear she's looking at a very small pool of men. Oh, and don't forget that a desireable, single male making that kind of money at that age probably isn't looking to settle down any time soon.

So if a fed makes it to $150, that's probably as much as he'll ever make. Some make more by getting promoted to the Senior Executive Service, but that's very few and they're never young. If $150 is enough, know where to look. It's hard at most government agencies, like the IRS, because only managers are GS 15 there. At DOJ, however, most trial lawyers end up as GS 15 if they stay long enough even if they never become managers, and many trial lawyers never want to be managers, and may still be young. Of course, if they don't stay long enough they'll wind up in big law and make much more. The challenge is meeting DOJ men. They keep them behind locked doors. There's an annual meeting of lonely tax lawyers at the Reagan Center attended by both big law and DOJ tax lawyers. If you're hot and outgoing, you could easily meet someone there.

1. Work with these types and she would look absolutely nuts just hanging around the Reagan center lol
2. She stated she doesn't want someone who is a workaholic. All of those jobs are not 9 to 5s.
3. I believe SEC lawyers also can be fairly well paid but I do not think they are on the GS system

Is it normal to give salary requirements when you go on dates in those cities? If so, maybe OP should live there, although I'm not sure how she could given she only makes $60k/year.

That's not at all what OP said, and if that's what she meant, she should have come back on the board and clarified herself. She made clear that was a minimum salary requirement, which happens to be 2.5 times what she brings in. LOL.

Lemme guess and I could very likely be wrong, and so be it. But very likely you are a liberal and very probably you voted for HRC, given that you mentioned SF/NYC/Boston. I am also a liberal. But it's liberals like you with your elitist mindset that turned off so many of the other side.
