The bottom line is a man like that has a ton of options in terms of women. Get in line, shoot your shot, but know that he doesn't need you as much as you need him. What do you offer him that he can't get elsewhere? A professional woman with an advanced degree earning $90k/year is a dime of dozen to this man. Men don't value the same things as women in a mate. You can walk away, and he is just fine financially and can have another woman on his arm tomorrow if he wants. That's the honest, low-down truth women have a hard time accepting. If you cannot compromise and build your life around him then it's not going anywhere.

Flash forward 5 years he was making $350k, me $100k. 5 more years he was making $500k and I maxed out at $170k. I still work.

He has only a bachelor’s degree.

Work on yourself. When you look at someone only as a dollar sign, you will never be happy or have a true love. You will be divorced after you spit out a couple of kids and complaining about your husband like the sahms on this forum.

What does he do with only a bachelor's degree? Sales?

Really? One-third of the world's richest men never graduated from college. Get out of your "the only way to get rich is biglaw" DVM bubble.

Surgeon. You can easily find a hospital job now with minimal education requirements

I am divorced and dating a surgeon. He does not want to settle down and he only dates attractive women….not Lena Dunham types.

Surgeons are notoriously sociopathic/narcissistic.

I am well aware (family full of doctors). I only mentioned it because someone suggested a surgeon for OP. I don’t recommend that profession for a spouse for anyone who wants to get married and have kids. I am not remarrying or having more kids or cohabitating, so it is fine for me.

Ok well she is looking for a husband making 500k+. Getting an associates in nursing or taking some hospital admin job is a lot easier and attainable to a basic 29 yr old than getting into Yale Law or Harvard business school.

Most surgeons will NOT date a nurse at the hospital.

Lie. Married or not.

The smartest men in all professions will not shi* where they eat. All of the high-earning men I have dated will not date where they work (including a surgeon I am seeing).

When I was single at that age I worked on increasing my own earning potential, getting another graduate degree nights, etc. I planned to survive on my own and not have to settle. What happened is this attracted high quality men that didn’t want a gold digger.

I mean, most professions where men are making high salaries over 500k come with this.

And likely cheating with married men she wants to upgrade with. Story as old as time. Pathetic.

Why can't women do that by themselves?

Huh? How do you get financial stability to have the option to stay home with your baby and have a baby while you’re still young enough to avoid infertility? That’s a lot to accomplish in a few years after finishing school… I know no one who had enough to unilaterally quit before 30.

Financial stability and $500k per year (what OP demands) are two different things.

It is usually easier to create a thriving biological family with a mom and a dad. (of course, all kinds of families do exist, but I am talking about a global norm). Women need to know that together with her husband, she can have children, raise that family and launch them successfully in the society they live in. You want a well earning man, who is a good husband/father material and can provide so that the family is successful and the kids launch successfully. In another society maybe you would have looked for a good hunter or someone who is very strong.

And you expect men to do the same? If you want a rich man who is also young you are delusional. Younger (<35) rich men usually get it from inheritance and they live in a different social social circle. Also they are not guaranteed to be lookers, which is important to women nowadays.

Bottom line, if you want a rich man to take care of you, be ready to compromise on his age. He could be post divorce with kids in the background. He could be ugly if he is young.
