how important your partner is rich?

[Airlick]

Not important at all, but staying at a shitty job for years at end (well, unless you're a student, in which case there's a very high chance you'll get a decent job after you finish education, so it's fine flipping burgers until then) pretty much signifies having no ambition and skills. And that is not something I'd want in a partner. Or if they are sort-of ambitious, but unmotivated (slightly contradictive, but not entirely - one can dream of doing something, but can't get around to actually take a step towards their goal) or do possess some skills, but don't bother working? Well, I wouldn't want a lazy partner either.

So, I don't care about just being rich. Hell, I dream of becoming a teacher, so I'm well aware I'll be earning peanuts, but that's a purpose in life and that's what matters to me. If I can find a woman similar to me who'd also happen to be interested in me, well - on that day I'll be a happy guy. Not very likely in these times, though.

It's not important. I really don't care if my partner is rich or not.

Rich how? Morally, sure. Emotionally, yes. Financially, not very. Sure there is a sliding scale to some degree, but being financially rich is by no means a requirement or even something that factors in. Then again you do have this


As you can see money plays a role in some cases.

It may just be the woman in me talking... but why would you have a 10/10 in the Date Zone category? Isn't crazy bad for most guys (or so they say), especially for dating?

Because shes hot.

I just want my partner to have a career. Preferably one they enjoy and that is either a skill or requires an education. Their salary is not important.

If you make 30k/year but love what you do that better than 120k/year and hating your job everyday.

[Amirila]

Not important whatsoever. As long as we are able to get by, and are not completely reliant on the money of each other, I don't see why it would matter.

As long as we'd be find a good apartment and live it's fine for me

[Gamdwelf]

It's important that they exist...unfortunately they dunt.

Food preparation is an essential job. You are a snob.

Given the choice between fucking lawyers, polticians, bankers and "burger flippers" I know who I'd stick on the guillotine first.

What are talking about? Your wife earning more than you does not automatically mean that you have a low income and/or can't theoretically provide for her. It just means that her income is higher.
If you'd - let's say - earn 1 mil per year and she'd earn 1.2 mil, you could easily provide for her and she would still earn more than you.

Still would be an issue. Luckily, I will never be in that situation mentioned.

Girl making 1.2 mill is likely batshit crazy in one way or another.

I know that you self-reported that you were too insecure to date someone who makes more money than you do, hence your date was out of your league.

Leagues are a state of mind and you don't have a very good one.

I also bet you were intimidated by her intelligence and education level.

Leagues are determined by other people.

I don't want a non-college educated girlfriend. But when I have a bachelors and they have a masters in a exceptionally hard field....yeah no. I don't want to be with them and seen as inferior. It isn't like a masters isn't impossible, nor do I have an easy field (3D Animation and Gaming Development was my actual major, just using it for graphic design atm), but compared to somebody in a medical field, it seems like childs play.

I couldn't stand having someone that made a significant amount of money more than me. Every time they paid for something I'd feel like a gold digger.

Which is ironic, because I would prefer being the rich person in the relationship, so I could lavish them with money.

Am I? I'm a burger flipper myself, since I'm working part-time while studying.

I understand what you're saying but really all your posts are telling me is that YOU feel inferior to someone with more education, not that your partner perceives you to be inferior. It's not just reflected in this example with this date, it is reflected in other areas of your posts, like when you compare your income level with that of your friends.

Sure someone you date might look at your lower level of education (or income, or whatever), compare themselves, and deem themselves superior in this way. I'd like to think however that MOST people would not do this. My last long-term boyfriend was a programmer who got kicked out of undergrad for hacking (lol), I met him right after I started law school. Did I ever look down at him due to his education level? No. Because intelligent people don't judge others on arbitrary measures of worth like education level, and he brought a lot of other positive qualities to our relationship while it lasted. And education level is not a perfect predictor of intelligence.

Meh, as long as we both could get by with our combined incomes then that's fine by me. Don't care much for being rich, just saving up a bit here and there will do.

[NoRest4Wicked]

Not important at all. My wife doesn't work right now, but even before we had our first kid she made a modest wage. Now that we are about to have our second, I don't expect she will be working for another 5 years.

[Hisholyness]

I'd like to see this broken into male/female for interesting

[Queen of Hamsters]

Not important at all, I grew up learning that stability, happiness and love doesn't hinge on having lots of stuff or being able to buy whatever you want at the drop of a hat.

Female here, if that matters since this is entirely down to personality, not gender.

...My partner to be had better be a dog person though, that I would NOT compromise on!

How much do you want your partner that you date/marry to have a lot of money?

It also acts as "how shallow are you?"
