2. In DC $90k a year is a decent salary, however it's how much you save and spend. If your rent is $1,700/mo that's $20,400 a year. Add in about $150 in utilities a month and you're total living expense is $23,000 a year. After taxes you should have about $35-40k left over. Not sure what you're spending that on.

3. You don't want a woman who is only after your wallet.

4. If the only reason you want to make more money is to attract more women...you won't ever be successful.

Re #3: you can only pick from the women who actually show up.
Re #4: What? It is a fact that money is an aphrodisiac. More money = more options.

The funny thing is a lot of the women who know this to be true will not see their sons as unattractive.

Top of your game journalists are making $3-5M here between their TV show, books, weekly articles and speaking engagements.
Mid-levels are making $150-250k.
This is journalism. Media is a big industry here, in NY and in LA.

Lol. I don't think you know many actual journalists if this is your impression.

I married a guy who didn't have any savings, had student loans, and a pretty low income job. I was making plenty, bought a house on my own, etc. I loved him and married him- didn't phase me at the time. 25 years later, we are still happily married. My DH ended up making plenty, but I certainly wasn't counting on that happening.

Are you upfront - within the first few dates - that you do not want kids and that your salary is 90k? It should not take six months to figure that out. Not wanting kids should be on all of your dating profiles and you should tell all women that within one or two dates.

Are you willing to date women in their early 40s? I am 41 and ok with not having kids and would date someone with your profile but it sounds like you are aiming for women your age or younger. The vast majority of those will want to leave open the door for having kids.

Your salary probably is not what is ending things after six months if you are upfront about that. There's probably something else going on. Most women arent going to date a guy for six months and then decide 90k isnt high enough. We dont want to waste time on someone who is a long term prospect.
