I'm female and make about $140k and I'm happy if my partner makes around that and can pay his bills and support his lifestyle.

Women under 30 aren't looking for men so this is irrelevant.

I dunno if he could keep the house clean and have dinner ready, that would be pretty awesome. If he actually lived up to his end of the bargain and took care of all the household stuff, that would be pretty great.


Exactly. Men who make $120k would never be able to meet the expectations of high standard household maintenance and parenting. Women who make $250k are a very different breed with high standards in everything .
So the low paying meh would rather complain at these women being “gold diggers” or just marry women who make under $120k.


Huh. I’ve never equated high standards with money. I have extremely high standards… for behavior and respect, in particular.

I know wealthier people who can’t meet my standards.

It has always been a vile cesspool, and I've been posting here since 2015.

Most women are making this much which is why OP made the post.


Trolling, right? Most women make far less than this. I’m in my 20th year of my career and I make $100K. Multiple masters degrees, too.

And is he respectful and honest? That’s all that matters to me. His $250K salary doesn’t matter at all.


Of course they are trolling. There is no definition of "most" that constitutes 4% of women.

No. Just because you chose to invest in a low-paying career doesn’t mean the rest of us did the same.
