I wouldn't say all men have a problem with women who make more money than they do, but some men have a problem with women who make more money than they do. I think this is because they are insecure of themselves, or their masculinity, but the good news is that you don't have to date, or even associate with those guys socially. This may be harder to do if you have a broken picker in one way, or another.

Yes Rose, I wouldn’t say all men but some. I agree with that. I personally don’t understand why men would be insecure because their woman made more. I’d be proud to let others know what my wife or girlfriend did for a living

I guess some are insecure in their masculinity, and some are probably jealous of it. Some guys are jerks.

Again, I wouldn’t care. If we are together you can help me rise up and motivate myself. Strength is in numbers , and if you have that person by your side motivating you to do better you’ll make it. Even if it’s not as much as them.

She can make more than you and still have the same general level of success that you have. You will still be equals if you motivate, and help keep her on top of her game. But if she is a high power corporate lawyer and you drive a delivery truck, that's a different story. She is using you as a man whore, and to bbq steaks for dinner parties. That's not necessarily a bad deal, but it will probably lead to a shallow level of intimacy. REAL men want more than that.

I’m rich and would rather be with a rich woman. I hate broke women who take you for money and leave !

I'm friends with several couples where the woman apparently makes significantly more than the guy and in all cases the guy loves the fact she makes great money. In one case, the guy is the stay at home parent. I also work with people in the same situation and have yet to see a guy wish his wife made less money. And at one point my S/O had a streak of making way more money than usual. She out-earned me over that year. I thought it was awesome!

Well for me at least it wouldn't be because she's a woman, it'd be because she's my partner regardless of either of our sex. I'd just feel insecure knowing she's doing better than me, and I'd feel worried she'd think less of me for it and maybe even leave me for someone richer (even though that'd then mean that she's a completely shallow bitch, which is far worse than being poor). I obviously realise that feeling like this would be entirely my own problem btw, and that it's nothing to be proud of. Still, better to admit to it than to pretend to myself that it wouldn't bother me.

Why feel insecure? The person your with is suppose to motivate you to do better even if you make it to their level. At least your making progress and obtaining personal goals along the way. You have to change your way of thinking. That person just might bring up the ranks with them. It’s like this, why waste your time thinking about who has more than you? If your doing what your doing to make progress, you won’t have any time to think about anyone else and what their doing.

Well I'd just feel like a total failure looking at all her success and comparing myself to her. Honestly if I ever got a girlfriend with a much more illustrious career than me, I'd want her to take zero interest in what I do for a living or in improving my situation. I'd feel like I'm letting her down then for having such a shit job and not being able to do any better, which again would make me worry she'd leave me for someone more successful, especially once she realises that all her encouragement and support doesn't make any difference.

Just one more thing that makes people feel "less than".
Kind of like how men are brought to believe they are suppose to be the bread winners, protectors and all that.

That was a thing in the 50’s and 60’s. When women weren’t allowed to work and stayed home and had babies and men would tell women their place was in the bedroom and kitchen.
Times have changed and I love that women are business owners , entrepreneurs etc. and make millions if not billions of dollars.Comment Hidden ( show )

Are they? Damn, that's sad. I'd like to make equal or more than my partner so they don't ever have to worry about not having enough money.
