The fact that this is groundbreaking information, to some, is proof that women are so far ahead of men in the game. This is why women won't marry a man that makes significantly less than them. This is why Oprah says she'll never get married.

Women are good at selling you on the bullshyt, but they know better. A lot of women call men nice guys because a lot of stuff we accept, they would never accept.

They want your income to constantly increase, and sometimes will even nag you about it, but will tell you that they don't have to lose weight because you met her this way:stopitslime:

She's going to sell you on love and all the intangibles, just so she can get the ring and access to your assets. You would think that she would at least keep up the act; most do not.

Out of guilt, some will not even end the relationship. They just stop sleeping with you, cooking, cleaning, Etc. Hoping that you will end it, or cheat so they can leave you and they can frame it as if it's your fault things didn't work out.

Even though the logic is heavily flawed, Women are far more logical then we give them credit for.
This.

I care more about energy and chemistry than income. She could make $25k for all I care. But an iron-clad prenup will be on deck :manny:

People gotta stop lying to themselves
Money is a huge component to marriage
Sure a man theoretically doesn’t care about a woman’s income
(Many men say this on the surface)
But nikkas not trying to be honest or real on this site
A man wants a woman that makes at bare minimum a little less than him or a little more than him
Here’s why
Most men are going to pay the lion share of bills in the house
That’s if we really love-love the bytch to begin with(and I said bytch, if you are offended, scram)
It is innate in us to do it
We may let wifey pay bills here and their
But we always want wifey to see we got it and let her take care of household needs
Now life is about ups and downs
You never know as a man when you will be knocked off your rocker
Could get injured at work
Car accident
Get diagnosed with a serious illness
Lose your job(pandemic taught us we are all indispensable
On and on
We want a woman that can at least hold us down if shyt gets bleak for the family at bare minimum a year without touching savings/investments
And it’s the opposite too
A woman wants a man to hold it down during pregnancy and the formative years of our child, her getting sick/injured as well
Here’s the caveat
It’s 2021
No household(outside of the rich nikkas of thecoli:mjlol:) can really stand on one income like previous generations
Everywhere you look
Yesterday’s price
Ain’t today’s price
You need dual income to survive or you right back in the trenches you nikkas love so much:mjlol:
If I’m making 80k ain’t no way on gods green earth am I wifing somebody with 32k annually
She has absolutely nothing to lose and all the more to gain
Sure maybe your wife was outchea always evolving and getting better at life
But nikkas also forget
Not every woman out here is trying to achieve greatness
Nor is every woman outchea trying to be lead
So that’s where the dichotomy comes in
Can’t be with a broke bytch
But can’t be with a overachiever
Personally my wife and I run this shyt like Steph and Klay
I hit my 3s with flash while she takes 11 dribbles and makes 60:mjlit:
And she just left her job but she got her own little shyt poppin right now
And can do it from our new home in Arkansas next month
But how many relationships are really real like this out here
I’m not an outlier but I’m definitely in the minority
Seen too many people break up over money
Either she was making way more and combative towards her dude
Or the nikka was doing it all and got tired of her lazy ass:francis:
People need to start being real
If you are in a relationship
Money and how it’s spent is a HUGE cornerstone
Easiest thing to do is stay single
Run through hoes
Find one that ain’t too crazy:mjlol:
Have a seed and coparent if you not about these hard conversations :yeshrug:
Im good financially so me personally ill take a low stress wife that stay at home and raises the kids. Shiiit we gonna save at least $30,000K not having to mess with daycare

Even if I had enough to take care of the family on my own, I'd still want a women who earns alot.

Then it goes to what do you value and whats realistic...I rather have a low stress women who is hands on with the family and raises the children...If you both earning alot trust me theres not much time for family...Unless you got a hook up job or you built a business already and its stable...Lets be realistic

My wife earns $56k. I earn $109k. I'm a big spender and she isn't.

I advance her lifestyle and she helps with the savings.

Honestly, I wanted to out-earn my partner. It makes decisions about childcare and other things easier.

She's not broke. Saves a lot of money for us to invest. She's smart and ambitious and will earn closer to me long-term.

A bigger thing for me is socially. I would struggle to be with a woman who isn't at least smart but preferably a professional. My wife has an advanced degree in a very respected field which helps in our own business (real estate). That means more than if she earned an extra 20k.

Did yall even watch the video? He doesn't say you shouldn't marry someone making 35K. He just said make sure to get a prenup if there is a large income gap.

Your wife earnings potential is important for those in the middle class but its not the most important factor guys look for in wife. Plus the difference in lifestyle isn't that much if you make 80k and your wife makes 35k or say 60K. A couple making 115K combined is not living much different than a couple making 150k combined.

Peace of mind >> Money. If your woman doesn't bring you peace it doesn't matter how much you make. I've seriously dated several female doctors and it was a terrible experience. If your woman brings your peace you got a winner.

And from my experience and what I have seen, high powered high earning career women are quicker to divorce and leave cause they are not dependent on you and less likely to be submissive.

This is true.

If you've dated women that have a lot of money or are career women, they have a different attitude.

You have to go to Harvard Stanford or another target school to succeed and the path to high finance hedge fund manager is nearly impossible for career switchers. You could build a marketing saas tool at 35 if you know how to code and market it.


This isn’t as true as it was previous generations. A lot of the stereotypical “target” candidates
Harvard / Stanford / Wharton ect have been slowly taking tech opposed to IB. This opened up the route for a lot of non traditional people to get into the space (front office roles on the sell-side… it’s still damn near impossible for buy side with no sell side experience).

Hes 100% right.

Non-lawyers in their feelings will hate on this, but he's right and men should listen to a legal expert. Alimony is designed to protect broke women, so if you marry a woman who is making significantly less than you, you'll be footing the bills before and after the marriage(unless you get prenuptial)

If you aren't selecting for a woman's ability to support herself as part of your criteria, you are taking an unnecessary gamble with your assets.

Nah y’all dumb af.a prenup is a negotiation. Why is anyone discussing a prenup with someone making 80k?
Because a prenup also protects assets and can protect future earnings. So it's not just about your salary. You should be discussing a prenup if you have anything worth a damn or expect to.

For people that dont have money if the man is good financailly then the wife can take care of the kids and you don't have that daycare bill...Wife can clean/cook do all that you saving 30k+ not having to hire anyone

That's the thing.. It's not just broke women. Your girl can have a masters from yale and make 150k. The moment you say "baby, just stay home with the kids." You've opened yourself up to paying her for life for y'all decision to halt her career. It's also factored into child support because you're the only breadwinner, you're going to provide most of it.

But a woman with that type of career is less likely to quit to stay home. And she's also going to get less in the divorce if she doesn't quit, because you make similar salaries. But all this can be avoided with a prenup in the first place, which is why you should at least discuss it.

Or of course, you and your lady make it the whole 50-60-70 years and nobody has nothing to worry about
