It's not that a guy wouldn't date a girl that makes more, but a long term relationship tends to fail if the woman makes more for several reasons. It's very much one sided the other way. | ||

If people are fixated enough to care which gender makes more money then I'm at a loss for words and wouldn't want to be with someone like that anyway. My girlfriend have talked about it a few times that what if she ended up being the one making a lot more money, since she has the opportunity to. It wouldn't change anything cause it's not like my/her money or something, it's our money. As long as both people are contributing there shouldn't be a problem in any solid relationship | ||

If either partner in a theoretically serious relationship isn't seeing it this way, the relationship is doomed for other reasons. Even when my wife was on unemployment, and that plus my disability barely paid the bills, it was never a problem. If you're in a serious, committed relationship with someone you love, you can make pretty much any weird situation work. It comes down to expectations and societal traits, combined with your understanding of them. In our case, the best thing for us is for my wife to work and me to take care of our son at home. Thus, I'm doing the best job possible providing for my family that way. As such, there is no other "manly" decision to be made. Any other thought is ego. Mind you, in a less serious relationship, that societal stuff will come into play a lot more. | ||

I think women would prefer to have a higher income man. They want to be pampered as much as we want to but unfortunately it's on us to attract them. It's also harder to tease a woman who makes significantly more money than you because if she does, she probably made correct decisions in her life to get that far. Hard to say you're better than her in that case. What can you say when she says I make more money than you? I'd be like dam you got me. What can I say? | ||
