Correct - I was being nice :)
To my understanding, it’s less than 1%. Some of these average women think they deserve a guy that also makes $400k+, or even $1M, pushing them into the 0.0001% of men.
It’s insane. I can only conclude our current cultural messaging to young girls is the cause. Men get the opposite.
That said, it appears it’s causing a new generation of young conservative men.
My siblings and friends thought I was dating down. My father wasn’t sure at the beginning but my mother knew my husband since he was a baby and heartily approved. He is honest, hardworking, loyal, and strong.

Your mother is better than smart... she is wise.
Your comment reminds me of a discussion I had the other day with an associate and he was asking me about hiring employees. I told him this..... I’ve hired quite a few people and the first things to be convinced of is that the potential employee is honest, hardworking, creative, respectful, family orientated, will go the extra mile and hopefully communicates well and will never piss of a customer. As for technical skills, I don’t even ask about them.... my thinking is that if my first screen of finding a person who fills the criteria of honest etc. is successful, I will be able to teach the person to have the necessary technical skills (in fact it will work out better since if I teach them from scratch, they will be doing things my way). However if these other characteristics are not in place, the most technically skilled person will be of zero value to me.
So you think men should only date women who refuse to go out with someone who makes less money than them?
“I never made more than about 1/3 of what my wife did. However were both well paid”
I’m at about 2/3 of my wife’s salary.
We’re both professionals and earn respectable incomes. Her organization is headquartered in NY, so her salary is consistent with a professional New Yorker’s.
No complaints here, nor do I in any way feel emasculated.
It all goes into the same account gents.
Pressure
If he doubled his income in one year, sounds like he was knocking over banks and Brinks trucks.
The relationship lasted until the feds closed in.
Nope. I don’t know why you would come to that conclusion based on my response to the excerpt I posted.
