Admin	Women who earn more than you do Posted : 27 Jan, 2012 11:19 PM Are men intimidated by women with careers? Say if you seen a woman's profile on here and her career earned more than yours, is that a turn-off? Would you think twice about sending her a message? Maybe its just me, but I feel like this happens a lot. Post Reply
View Profile History	Women who earn more than you do Posted : 28 Jan, 2012 04:57 AM Being as I've not yet seen a profile where women state how much they earn, I'm not sure that it'd be a barrier. Guys are obviously wired to be the 'provider' so it might be an ego shock if he's "less able" than her, and for some that might be too much to bear, but in this day and age of financial worries and job insecurity, I'd consider it a bonus not a bind.

cowboybuck1969 View Profile History	Women who earn more than you do Posted : 28 Jan, 2012 01:45 PM I think there is a bit of a stigma there and I'm not really sure how to answer it clearly, but I'll offer up my best input. For centuries now, men have been deemed the providers of family, in that they were the ones expected to have a good job and provide for the family outside of the home. A good wife was what we today call a homemaker and the provider within a household. Today, the whole concept of work and family life is very different. Quite frankly, I enjoy that everyone has more opportunities now, particularly women... BUT... it changes the field of play somewhat from old traditions. What I mean by that is at a time when men held most meaningful jobs it was up to them to pick a partner and at least make the first move. It's far easier to make the first move if one is sure they can improve the life of the person they seek. Most responsible men are not jealous per se, but they feel as if they cannot offer a girl that is more successful anything she doesn't already have, except a ring and some kids... and both of those gifts probably require more sacrifices on her behalf (if she has a successful career) than his. If you feel your career makes it difficult to find a partner, I've got an idea... be more aggressive and do some choosing of your own. After all, you would be the one in most instances that can make a better case for improving the life of whomever you take a liking to. Post Reply

cowboybuck1969 View Profile History	Women who earn more than you do Posted : 30 Jan, 2012 02:03 PM It wouldn't bother me either, provided I had a good enough reason to contact her in the first place. Her income and net worth wouldn't be a valid reason. No profile on here, I don't care how good it is... would be something one should talk about marriage with in a first email. Therefore, it's innocent enough to ask about other things and go from there. In that sense, nobody is intimidating. The question was, as I understood it... whether being successful detracts some people from initially making contact. I say it does... a little... as some people don't bother chasing someone who is way out of their league. Most that are successful don't want drastic changes in their current life, such as relocation. I don't blame them either. Stuff like that will factor in. Post Reply
