I would say $200K is the new $100K, would not date anyone who made less.

That’s fewer than 10% of the guys in this area. What’s your plan?

Where do you find this data?

The above poster said 200K is the minimum for a man... HERE IS THE DATA:

In 2020:

Only 10% of men make over 150K (NOTE: men of ALL ages not necessarily men in your preferred age range)
Only 5% of men make over 200K

BY AGE: at 30 only 1% are making over 200K at 40 around 3% are making over 200K at 50 only 5% make over 200K at 60 only 3% are making over 200K

Therefore; you are most likely looking for a dude in his 50s and overall that is only about 5% of the overall population and that includes the ones that are already married.

Bottom line, 200K is unrealistic for most women.

If you have to ask you can’t afford it.

Some women are looking more for $175-200+ with hopes they can be a SAHM.

LOL. What depths of Alabama are you posting from? 175-200k is not enough to be a SAHM and forgo ones earnings in any HCOL area. I would only seriously consider it if my spouse was making over 500K- an income level we are not even at quite yet with both of us in the workforce. The absolute bare minimum would be 350/400k and that would assuming kids go to public schools.

Good is subjective. It’s about being on the same page about what lifestyle you want (or would be willing to compromise on) and how you plan to attain it together- whether income is fairly evenly split, skewed, or one person earns it all.

$100k ish

I’m a director in big tech. I have lots of you on my team. You all are smart and usually have a great sense of humor. You are kind and caring and you tend to value education. You are the whole package, you just need a bit of tidying up. Luckily that pretty easy to do. A good haircut, some manscaping, a trip to the dept store with a personal shopper and the women will be flocking to you.

Are you guys/ladies software engineers?

Yes I have SWEs on my team

Here I was ready to celebrate my new FIRREA salary, 159K, a huge bump for me. Why do women in DMV view gov workers as losers? I guess I should have gone to law school to have a chance.

The delusion of some of these career married hags is quite amusing

You, sir, are winning at life.

$250k is fine. And I don't feel like I need to do anything in particular to keep up my end of the bargain. Meaning i don't feel pressure to look a certain way or maintain our social schedules. I don't have to do his laundry or manage the household beyond the 50/50 split. I also don't bell like I need to work.

DH and I make about $320k combined and we each earn roughly half of that. I feel like we each earn a good salary and we are comfortable and can even afford some luxuries.
