This some real ass shyt

What difference does it make if a woman makes good money if the man still gotta pay for majority if not all of the expenses? :gucci:

I get what a lot of y’all saying bout dual incomes but y’all assuming this would lead to the man and woman splitting all expenses when the women dapping y’all posts wouldn’t agree with those arrangements in their own relationship/marriage.

Then those women aren't the ones we want to be in relationships with :gucci:

If we are of similar age and she is only making 30k a year then that is a reflection of her life decisions. Because at a certain point your work experience over time should warrant a higher salary. That's a red flag for me.

You telling me , you in your 30s and you can only command 30k a year? Nah , something off. You don't got atleast at minimum of 5 years of work experience to apply for a better job?

Where have you been since the year…well forever.

Are people out here really thinking there is no gender pay gap?

I’m sorry but anyone saying they don’t care what their woman earns, in today’s society, is being naive. Nothing to do with worrying about divorce, alimony, etc but being with a woman shouldn’t be a drain on your resources. If you have actual shared goals like having rental properties, starting a business, sending your kids to private school, having an early retirement fund…then that needs to be a joint effort.

I’ve helped women I’ve dated with job applications, helped them budget and make payment plans to clear their debts, etc because if I’m gonna be with them long term, they need to be in the same ballpark as me (or at least on their way) financially.

I’m convinced that some of y’all gonna be stuck on high school mode til death and miss out on growing up and dealing with life.

Exactly. These guys agreeing with this shyt I guarantee aren’t married or engaged, not earning 80k+ or own their own home but they’re here saying shyt like “don’t marry down”.

When you find a woman that’s right for you what she earns isn’t an issue as long as it’s something to help the household. When you start realising life isn’t just about money you’ll again learn that finding the right woman is the most important factor. I earn about 60% more than my Mrs and we understand the balance in life. But our relationship is the most important thing and not a paycheque.

If you want a few kids, a nice house and family you’ll realise that sacrifices will need to be made in both your lives.

Most of y’all sound like teens.

Cool story but this message is not told to women at all.


The message is clear on the women side that “love does not pay bills”.

Y'all must he some weak dudes if you let a woman's salary intimidate you and let her talk down to you.
Read my post again word for word and tell me where wanting to marry a woman who I get along with and enjoy spending time with as opposed to one I don’t regardless of her high salary means I’m intimidated by high salary women. I know this forum is full of some really stupid people so I’m gonna cut you some slack. I’m waiting.

This thread is lowkey fascinating, brehs are claiming to want the old ways of engagement (being the sole provider) regardless of the fact that the institution of marriage and inter-marital relations has vastly changed for several reasons (economically, financially, socially, culturally, etc...).
It actually explains why things are the way they are nowadays, men are willingly refusing to adapt despite being in the losing end of the bargain at the current time. :ohhh:
