Posted: 9/24/2009 11:41:11 AM | | Honestly I didn't care about guys income at all before 'cause I make decent money for myself but after dating some of the broke guys from here, now I am little 'greedier' 'cause I want someone who can at least pay his PHONE bill and HIS OWN DINNER I'm not kidding here lol But yeah maybe I ask too much?

I just don't want anybody's debt. That's all. I need Peace of Mind.....some people don't need it, but I do. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 12:19:35 PM | | With women I have dated I've never really thought money was an issue to them and I do well for myself, but never felt they were into me for my money at all. I also think this thread is way too much of a generalization as some women might be into a guy just for money, but I'd say thats the exception not the norm. | |

I don't think that's being greedy at all, the other person should be able to support themselves. I always pay for dinner, but do it as it's just what I find to be the right thing to do on a date. But I don't think I'd be dating the kind of person where they were needing me to pay for the dinner or phone bill (wow on that one). Income isn't a concern to me, but being able to support yourself is something I kind of expect. Now I do realize at times people might run into a financial situation, but for the most part if someones relying on you for financial support I'd be running as if I was in the olympics. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 12:43:56 PM | | Enough that I don't have to cover his expenses. It's one thing for me to cover the dinner bill on occasion - completely different if it's every time, he's constantly eating out of my fridge or borrowing a 20. If he has enough money left over after all of his bills and expenses to go out a couple of times or put money into savings for himself, I'm good. | |

What i am really looking for is a man with big muscles and a huge penis, who has the ability to go all night. These types of men are alot rearer, and much more challenging.
A very rare find indeed !!! If they can also pay thier own way, hey jackpot.

Posted: 9/24/2009 2:12:27 PM | | He only has to make enough where he is not asking me to pay any of his bills because I would never do that. So if he can support himself then that is all the money he has to make to keep me interested. When I was married I generally made more then my husband, but that didn't matter because my money was his and his was mine. Anything in our joint account was our money not just mine or his. As far as dating goes well I am a dutch dater and then if it turns serious I have no problem taking turns paying for dates so money is a non issue. With the man I am seeing now we are still in the "separate check" stage. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 2:14:39 PM | These are my 3 criterias:
He needs to be self sufficient ( job security, mentally stable)
Treat me like am his number (1) Most important thing in his life
Make love to me in a way that would make me crazy.
Than everything esle will work out if we truly care for each other.  | |

For you personally as a woman, how much money does a man need to make to keep you romantically interested in him?
Enough so that he can responsibly and prudently afford to emulate for himself, the kind of lifestyle that I can provide for myself, so that we could enjoy a compatible lifestyle together.
I had no intention of sacrificing the things I liked to do because my partner couldn’t afford to participate in them and I also had no intention of footing the bill for both of us. If that meant that a man had to have a certain level of income to keep up with that, so be it. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 4:21:31 PM | What's much more important to me is his attitude towards money and how he makes a living.
Does he work to live or live to work? Does he make enough to support himself? Does he have a dream and is he actually doing something to make that dream happen? Is he doing something he loves and is he able to live off it? Or is he just going through the motions 9-5 so that he can party on the weekend, while he's complaining about the boss? Would he be intimidated, if I make more money, working less time or can he handle that?
Does he feel that he has to keep up with the Joneses? Does he spend his money on all the new toys and is broke every month? Does he try to impress me with material things (does the opposite to me)? Can he handle my attitude towards money?
How does he feel about going dutch? I like it if we each pay our share for everything and every once in a while one or the other says:'this is my treat." Without expectation, just because they want to. No pressure. Purely voluntarily to do something nice for the other. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 4:23:07 PM | | I can't speak for all women, but I don't even like this question. It implies we are shallow and out for what we can get. I have dated men who were poor and some who were rich. It depends on his personality and the way I am treated. I think you are dating the wrong women if you feel this question is relevant. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 4:42:08 PM | | you guys may have an issue with this question but i swear to god and all that is holy in this world, I once had a date that did a land search to find out if i actually owned my house BEFORE the 2nd date. she then admitted to me that she had done it on the 2nd date and didnt understand why i ended the date there and then. it is true that some women are just looking for a meal ticket but i am positive that the main reason why women are here on this site generally is for comapanionship ( or at least i hope thats why they are here) lol. incidentally, that was a girl i met through pof... | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 4:43:23 PM | Hi clasact,
Thank you for your response to my forum posting. And, you truly give me a bit more hope than I had before, with regard to finding a bride someday. I've been told that women with your mindset still exist, but I have not been so fortunate to find a woman like yourself, over my past few years of dating.
My experience has been that if I am unable to afford a certain level of dating entertainment then they have lost interest and the relationship was over. It has been somewhat shocking and a real eye opener for me, since . Especially since I am a college educated professional who is in the difficult times of seeing his business decline significantly, due to the economy and significant industry changes. Somehow it is surprising me that the women I have dated haven't had more vision of the future and been able to see other good qualities.
Anyway, again I thank you for your input as I'm sure that my experience is not unique to many men that are in a similar situation.
Take care and God bless | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 4:57:27 PM | Hi,
I'm familiar with some women's judgement about men living with their parents. However, if a man or woman is financially resposible and sharing rent to save for the future, why would you have a judgement about having a room mate?
And, I have a feeling you are kidding about buying your love with gifts (or Coach hand bags), otherwise this may be a new forum topic.
Thank you for your response! | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 4:57:43 PM | He needs to make enough money to cover his own bills and be self sufficient. It's not a dollar amount per se. That having been said, I wouldn't be interested in someone living in their parents basement because he can't secure a good enough job to pay rent. Ergo the part about being self sufficient.
Hope that helps to answer your question. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 5:02:20 PM | | enough to pay his bills and not live paycheck to paycheck. I will not support someone who is too lazy to work, etc. I dated someone a few times who has a 6 figure income and he lived with his sister, it was odd to me that he did not want to have his own place, maybe he was too cheap to pay for it....I hear some good deals can be found on Coach items on ebay..... | |

In that case the result is larger than the sum of it's parts. With that I mean, that someone that still lives with his parents, even if financially responsible, is not just a roommate. A parent will always look at their child as their child. There's not a particular time when they suddenly say:' OK, you're on your own now. Just give us your monthly rent and we'll see you once a month for dinner.".
If someone is still living at home, then they have not made the final step to independence. The umbilical cord hasn't been cut. It doesn't matter how much rent they might be paying, they're not their own person. When they're at home they're A and B's son. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 5:23:50 PM | Hi Jordazzy,
Right, I can tell you that you are not alone in not liking the question as many have had negative responses such as your own. However it does not seem to provoke a negative response with all women. And, actually it was not meant to imply that "women are shallow and are out for what they can get", as you had mentioned. I do not believe that at all. Sure, there are always a few bad apples in any grouping of people, but for the most part I think women are mostly looking for security, which I'm told dates back over history. My dad put it to me this way. In general women have usually gravitated toward the man that could provide best. In pre-civiilized times the woman would look for the man that could bring back the most from hunting game. And, the men would seek the women that were most attractive or were the best at gardening and mothering.
So, if my dad was right, then it is simply a natural response to life, given our biological make-up, right? I've been surprised by the negative response this question, has drawn from some and it really isn't meant to be about slamming women. I am a guy who has more women friends that guy friends and always have and none of them would tell you that I have any type of mean spiritted thoughts about women.
My one and only reason for starting this forum thread was to see how women view a man's income level and what is needed to make a relationship work. Since I'm interested in being married, I just figured this would be a good questions, since I would like to be happily married with children someday.
Okay, so your last comment was that I may be dating the wrong women. And, you may be right. Infact, I would like to think so. In addition to being on this site, most of my dating has been on a well known site that is known for matching people with other members that you are supposed to have a great deal of compatability. And, that hasn't worked as well as I had once hoped. So, let's just say these women have been the wrong women, then what can you recommend to find the right ones or weed out the wrong ones? Please advise.
Thank you for your response! | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 5:27:22 PM | Hi varina,
I completely agree with you on the living with the parent thing, short of needing to care for ones parents or a sever hardship. I was referring to having a non-parental room mate. I may not have been as clear as I could have been.
Take care and thank you for your response! | |
