I had a choice between marrying a man who made $200 a month in income and another who made over $2,000.

So in other words if the first male had suddenly come to you with 5,000 per month your choice would have been different? How about 10,000? Or, 3000? 2500? I know you are probably going to be offended by this but I can not help it; I do not think I am the only one who understands specifically where you stand. If those are your standards, then I do not think I can effectively make you understand how much a piece of meat that makes a male feel like. The higher-priced beefstock is the choice cut. Got you. If I were a husband reading such comments I can tell you right now that I would be making alternative plans for the future as quickly as possible and reconsidering whether I could in actuality turn down that higher-pressure (more pay) position at work. I might not get a comfortable reception at the end of the day. And we males are the problem? Guess I really need to find a higher paying job as quickly as possible or I am doomed to remain celibate and unattached for the rest of My life.

No, probably not. You are totally fixated on the financial and are projecting it onto women.

I think you totally misunderstood. Clearly money is a factor in marriage, and a woman should consider what her potential spouse makes.

to deny that is foolish. the person to whom you were replying implied nothing more than this. And I agree that that is a factor to be considered. In fact a woman who completely ignores the income-making potential of her potential spouse is foolish, unless she is independently wealthy.
