I am too young (48.5) but from just talking to ladies some really over-value their status. I’m not “threatened” by a strong, successful woman, but I don’t want to hear about her career when I’m telling her to go put something sexy on. Probably nightly too.
I’d take poor with a nice body and strong libido if “status” means too tired for her High-T hubby. For now at least I make a nice mid-6 figure salary so I am not after her $$$. I am after other things. I think the big advantage to the lady having $$$ is travel.
"Professional" women don't want to hear that men aren't impressed with the woman's career. A waitress who is cute, is interested in having sex frequently, is enjoyable company, and is a good person, is MUCH preferable to a corporate executive who is none of the above.
