Unless the income gap is so huge that it creates a gap in the two peoples leisure options, then it can be a problem.
Edit: But you said she's paying. hmmmmm. I'd feel uncomfortable having someone pay for me all the time. It'd make me feel like a kid. | |

Damn yah!! I want the new X-box 360 ELITE....I don't like jewellery or colognes,
just the cool electronic gismos.
The woman has a larger bank account and better paying job and like to spoil her man or just likes to do things that he cant afford but she is okay with paying?
Again, YES!! Whether I can afford it or can't, I'd like to be spoiled and
pampered after years of so much giving.
Cuz she wants to enjoy these things and more so wants to enjoy them with him?
WITH me?? Who did you buy the x-box for again, biotch??? LOL
BTW, regarding your question marks.....a period does not precede the
question mark. Your post is littered with ".?" - just thought you ought
to know. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 12:26:10 AM | Well ,
Considereing what you've asked I think a little reverse spoiling is due in return. If she's going to blow money on me for those type of activites I think I'd feel inclined to do thoughtful things instead.
IE: I used to wait till my ex was almost home from work and I'd run her a nice hot bath, warm up the towels and put a few choclates or a glass of wine by the side table.
Another good example is to take off to the movie store when she's working or doing what ever brings in the big bucks and rent that new movie she wanted to see.
Cook her fav dinner without telling her, just make sure she doesn't have any other plans.
When she's gone take her car, go get it cleaned and fill it up. Leave a little note in the passengers side seat with a teddy bear, flowers or sweets.
What I guess I'm trying to say is that money is just money. It creates options on what you can do with it. It doesn't make you more thoughtful, smarter or more creative. If you really I was bothered by how much she made, I'd make it a point to spoil her in reverse every way I could think of. Come to think of it .... I did it anyways.

Posted: 5/10/2007 1:28:49 AM | between 2 people there is a money gap. when ever the gap gets puched too far one way one of the people will snap. you making all the money has a very small effect. but what you do with it does. if you pay for everything the guy will feel bad about his lack of money and will feel likle he is not good enough for you. or he will love it and begin to leach at.
let him pay sometimes and dont talk about all the expencive stuff you have | |

What would matter is the difference in life styles you seem to be suggesting.
While it may be better to give than to receive - I like a sense of balance in a relationship from whatever aspect.
Color me macho or old fashioned - I don't know that I would be "intimidated" by your scenario - but I would for sure become uncomfortable with it in a short time.
Then again - I've never been in that situation. Maybe I could learn to be a gold digger. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 7:24:59 AM | See women are so funny about this.....
As men we really dont look at how much a woman makes at all....it really is the last thing that we ever consider.
No man will be intimidated...cause we really dont care wether you work at Timmies or run Nortel....its a non-issue when a man considers dating a woman.
I read so much about women thinking this is important to a man that it really makes me wonder why women think this way? I would guess they have taken on the stereo typical male attitude of women wanting them for thier money.
As for paying for everything...well that would be an issue...i dont think you will find that men want you to pay for everything...most men would probally find that uncomfortable...money in a relationship should be shared...so its best if we take turns paying for dinners and the like...
As for super expensive gifts? Well if its crasy expensive it would make me uncomfortable if we had only been dating a short amount of time as it would seem to me that the woman was trying to "buy" my affections...and that would definately backfire.
Again...men really dont look at women in this way....its women who stereo-typically value men for thier earning potential....the reverse is not true. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 12:27:36 PM | How much money she makes is not even on my radar when looking for a significan other. I have dated women who make good money and have dated others who live paycheque to paycheque.
I would not have a huge problem with the woman I'm with paying for things as long as there is some give and take on the issue. If she's willing to pick up the tab then that is her perogative and I'm not about to tell somebody that they can't do something that makes them happy. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 1:30:30 PM | I don't make a huge amount of money but I did find it made a difference in my last relationship. When I told my ex my yearly income he got offended and stated that he only made $13,000.00 more than me a year and he was a genius and I was not. OK WTF? After that every where we went he divided everything 50/50 and made a point of making sure that I paid up (I always did before this I just did not have to hear about it)
We did not work out. He recently married a woman who makes substantially less than he does. I'm sure not all men feel this way but I was pretty pissed about it. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 5:20:29 PM | After thousands of years of men having to be the breadwinners, pick up the tab, buy the expensive gifts, suffering the early heart attacks, etc. for women, I think it's high time women started doing all these thing for men. For the next several thousand years.
I can send you my PayPal account user name if you'd like to make a retainer deposit as a show of good faith...  | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 6:57:14 PM | Honestly, I think I would be a little intimidated at first if we were doing a bunch of things I could not afford on her dime.
After a while I would get used to it, but I would be afraid I was taking advantage of it.
In fact if a woman is making more than I am, it would impress me. Not to say I make a lot, just that it would give me more respect for her than if she was making very little, it means she is intelligent and self confident enough to succeed and that is more attractive to me than anything else really. | |
