Men: Define the role of income in the dating game
Would you list - or have you listed - your income range for online dating purposes?
This includes both places where woman will see it as well as where they won't.
Yes
No
Which of the statements below most closely reflects your reasoning for listing or not listing your income?
Please, be honest. This is anonymous.
They asked the question, so I checked the box.
Women are attracted to money, so I want them to know that I make a lot.
I'm just an average guy with an average income, and I'm not looking to attract gold-diggers but women should know that I'm self-supported.
I have a lot to offer a girl, but money isn't one of those things and she should know that from the start.
I would never list my income because any woman who cares about how much money I make is not the girl for me.
If you have listed your income, have you ever:
Over-exaggerated it?
Under-exaggerated it?
If you answered the previous question, please explain your reasoning.
Does it matter to you how much money a woman makes?
Please selected the most fitting answer.
No, as long as she is happy doing whatever she does.
Yes, because I do not want to date a woman who makes more than me.
Yes, because I want to date a woman who can potentially support me while I chase my dreams.
Yes, because she needs to carry her own weight.
Yes, but only because I believe in a partnership that's balanced in every way.
Would it bother you to date a woman who earns a higher income?
Yes
No
If you know that a woman makes roughly the same amount or more money than you, are you more likely to expect her to pay for drinks, dinner, etc.?
No, I always take care of my woman.
No, I'll still pay when I think it's appropriate.
No, because if I pay, I get laid right?
Yes, spending in a relationship should be proportionate to income.
Yes, it's about time that dating isn't skewed to primarily benefit the girl.
Would you be turned off from dating a woman who advertises that she earns a very modest income, perhaps precluding her from being able to enjoy the finer things in life that you are able to enjoy?
Yes
No
