| Should I Avoid Messaging Professional Women/Women That Make More Money Than I?
Posted: 5/28/2008 5:05:46 AM | Certains ones....my mother and father are still married today. He retired from being a pipe fitter and she worked for the FBI. Oh he also smokes weed. They remind me of that old show Dharma and Greg except I have one of each parent. The old hippie stoner and the uppity lady but it works for them.
Should a fat and a skinny person date?
Old and young?
Black and white?
Male and female.... | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 9:35:19 AM | | I think you should because alot of professional women are nice people and dont judge people by their positions. If somone is like that they are not worth the time of day because they are more interested in things than people and at the end of the day happiness matters in a relationship and you will not be happy with someone who belittles you cos that is selfish. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 10:01:39 AM | | I haven't read all this forum. Not messaging a women because of what she does and how much money she earn's is very shallow. I want a man in my life who is on the same wavelength as me not someone who can provide for me. If you can make me laugh and hold a conversation then your half way there. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 10:07:46 AM | Don't worry too much about this... I've seen some UNBELIEVABLE women fall for total con men, and STAY with them even AFTER they find out they've been had! 
I would think a man who is at least honest about his finances would be FAR preferable...
Besides, any woman who is all about the money isn't worth having anyway - TRUST ME - I KNOW!

Posted: 5/30/2008 10:50:55 AM | my title isn't a fancy one, as you mentioned, but if you want the opinion of a professional woman - - if you're interested, what could it hurt to give it a try?
Maybe I feel as if people like that, male or female, look down on folks like me? Am I wrong?
i'd say the down lookers are the ones in the wrong! you sound like a good hearted, decent, hard working fellow. many MANY women would treasure such a prize
best wishes!

Posted: 6/5/2008 9:04:31 AM | Should the OP message professional women? Sure why not. question is will he get resposnses he wants. Generally "like attracts like". Of course there are exceptions but exceptions they are!), but it all goes back to similarity of lifestyle, education level, interests, aspirations etc. 'Proximity and similarity", as they taught in psychology class, are crucial for a working relationship (be it dating or just friendship) Proximity is quite obvious - hard to maintain a relationship with someone 3K miles away. Similarity - when backgrounds, upbringing, education levels, interests, culture (even income and occupation perhaps) etc come into play. Has nothing to do with being snobbish or looking down at someone. People from different backgrounds/educational/professional levels usually have dissimilar interests and fav. pastimes. simple as that. | |

Be a kept man.
Good try, young man  .
A kept man is like a tiger in cage or too much time on hands turns into rotten ideas & deeds.
A proverb I grew up and identified myself with says it all, IMO: "A crow is sitting next to a crow, the wholesome person is looking for the wholesome soul." | |

well,my comment would be,if you ain't handsome and rich,you better be handy..
Have you been watching Red Green?
Dating and love shouldn't have anything to do with finances, except that no woman would want a useless man laying around on their couch all day while they go out and make a living.
I think that sometimes women overlook the "value" of a good man. If your toilet leaks, I will fix it. If your car won't start, I will either get it started or drive you to work, and have it repaired by the time you get home. I would do my share of house work. I would take my turn cooking. I would pay my share of the bills. If you make more money than I do, that is fine. I could give you things that money can't buy. | |

I don't agree with this statement...money is one of the biggest reasons that people split up...arguing over it,not having it,etc. and when two people get together who are not mutually suited financially,troubles arise..the man ****es cos the woman doesn't have a job(doesn't have any money of her own) and the woman ****es cos there isn't enough to pay the bills...and I've seen it...what's worse is,if one partner does go out and make money but doesn't contribute(more of a man thing in my case) and the other has to pay for everything and the other one is never home to help out either...And,they can't explain where there money went...so,yes,it can drive a wedge between people and after a long time,the one paying for everything gets fed up...to me,a man should fix the toilet,take care of the car,those are things that men should know how to fix or do,while a woman has her things to do and as far as appreciating a man,or thanking him or complimenting him all the time and everytime he does do something that he should do,a woman gets fed up with that too,cos she never gets any appreciation for what she does,so she stops thanking...my ex was a baby in that dept..I had to cajole him constantly and give him hugs and kisses everytime he did something around here,or he sulked...but,if I did anything for us,or him in particular,he never said thank you,sometimes he said,well,it's about time,or some other stupid remark..I work my behind off,and held down two jobs and took care of his kids, and rarely got a thnk you from him or his kids...so,I'd rather not have him and pay someone to fix things...it's less hassle....what he really wanted,was for me to support him,and give him play money too...who needs it?...AND,nobody does anything any more for nothing,just to be nice...never happens...there is always some kind of trade off...and unfortunately,when a guy moves in,you lose that power because you have to hire the same guy...him....because if you hire someone else, he gets tiddled off,cos it makes him look bad..."Why did you pay out good money for someone when I could have done the job?..he asks....well,if he got off his duff or spent more time at home,or did what was asked two months ago,then I wouldn't have to...but,I think he knew that if he waited long enough,I'd do that,so he wouldn't have to....frustrating and a bunch of crap is all it is...double talk...so yeah, a woman has to have finances and good ones...and she's going to be careful about where it goes and to whom and with whom she is going to share it...jmho | |

Dating and love shouldn't have anything to do with finances,
ha ha. and people always SHOULD look at the inner person and not the outer appearance, and people always SHOULD be honest, faithful, loyal, play no games, do what they say and say what they think. People SHOULD not divorce over frivolous reasons, parents always SHOULD put children's interests first... Etc etc etc. Feel free to continue the list...
The repeating thing here is **should**. **Should** is not how things **are** in the real world more often than not. I do strongly maintain that money, career, background and occupation has a LOT do do with dating in real world, not "should" world. And especially if the dating situation evolved into a relationship. Big disparity in those areas pretty much dooms a relationship to become nothing more than a short term fling. | |

Posted: 6/13/2008 5:06:55 AM | Finances should be a consideration in a relationship, is it not one of the major reasons why marriages end up in divorce, I do believe it is in the top three. One reason why people usually don't marry is more because of the social circle they live in. I mean lets face it, not knocking any professions but how many Doctors would be dating or marrying a house cleaner, Nanny or Firefighter.
And what is your definition of a professional woman, there is a difference between a career, a job and a profession. But than again some politicians do like those biker chicks, you can never tell how much money or what their professions are. | |

Posted: 6/13/2008 2:54:25 PM | | Indeed it is more about the social circle that money per se. However the two correlate more often than not (example above of a lawyer/cleaning person) . Even when the amount of money isn't an issue - some tradesman/woman may be making more money than a university professor however most likely they'd have very different interests and be in very different social circles.. | |

Posted: 6/13/2008 3:15:03 PM | I wouldn't worry too much about what she does or what she earns. She might be looking for someone with just the right sense of humour and laid back style or alternative outlook. Ahe might just get a kick out of personal challenges hence the achievement and money that goes with it. She might hate pretensious people as much as you do. She might find you refreshing. You never know until you talk to her.
There should be other hints on her profile that will tell you whether she is elistist of not. Is she overly interested in your education rather than your intelligence. Is she quick to compare assets? A good way in is to start discussing what literature you read. Just be yourself and don't underestimate yourself. Self assurance is a very attractive quality and it comes completely free, and is not issued by any university. | |

Posted: 6/13/2008 3:26:31 PM | It all comes down to money!! Few women will admit it, most won't.
I got online the other day and one of the first headlines I saw was " wives of Nascar ".
I of course was curious. Photo's of Nascar drivers and their wives, roughly 20 of them.
Not an ugly or overweight woman in the bunch. How did some of these drivers get such beautiful wives? MONEY !!! Same with any rich guy, if he's got money, he can marry a babe. Like the old saying goes, " you don't have to have a big d*ck if you have a Corvette ". Don't get me wrong, if I was a beautiful woman, I'd be rich too !!!
O.K. Ladies " FIRE " !!! | |

Posted: 6/13/2008 7:20:59 PM | I can only speak for myself but I love to get a back rub or neck massage from a man with nice strong hands! It really doesn't matter what his occupation is or what is in his bank account. Stay within your means, whatever they are, and be proud of who you are. That is what is attractive!! | |

Posted: 6/13/2008 8:35:42 PM | Post #148. I would love to think that this is as simple as you say. Maybe it is, for a 25 yo marrying 55 yo guy for money. For most late30-early 40s crowd making their own living.. I don't think it ALL based on money THAT way - i.e. "exchange" looks and youth for money and status.
I have a career, make income in upper 10% statistically, and I would be reluctant to get involved with someone who makes less then half for a number of reasons.. some stem from prior experiences (guy not wanting to really work and just to use me as a meal ticket) - that's a bad case..
There are a ton of honest decent hardworking guys, nothing against them, and I have met quite a few... but from what I have observed, if they are not in the similar educational-social-professional situation, finding commonalities beyond the bedroom are hard. Inherently he'd enjoy different hobbies, interests and pastimes than I would. Not saying his are worse and mine are better, just different. Inevitably these differences create awkwardness.. What do you do as a couple? I want to go on a European vacation.. can guy making less than half of my income afford it? Maybe not. So what do I do - don't go on vacation, or opt for going camping with him? (don't get me wrong, I DO go camping.. and bicycling .. and hiking.. and so on). But how many times do I have to forgo what I'd really want to do as a couple in order to make him feel better? I like skiing.. not a cheap proposition either.. So what do I do - time after time go by myself? That does not feel good either, because I'd like to do things with my significant other. How about friends? Family?
I can go on, but I am sure the point is quite clear. It is too easy to explain it away by woman being "bad" - materialistic and snobbish.. In reality she may just know that things have better likelihood of working if the parties have more in common. Which they unlikely to if they are from social-income-educational-professional situations that are too far apart. Exceptions happen, but they are just that - exceptions. | |
