Women: Men listing their income - Hot or Not?
Women, please provide your most honest answers to the following questions.
How important is it to you that a guy list his income on an online dating profile?
Check all that may apply.
Essential, because I need to know what to expect.
Pretty important because I want to be able to estimate what the quality of my life would be with him
Not terribly important because I can roughly guess his lifestyle based on his job and interests.
Not important at all; I don't care if he lists it or not.
A guy should never list his income.
If a guy lists the highest income option (usually $150K +), what is the first thing to come to mind?
Please select the closest option.
Ooo, he can take me to that fancy new restaurant that I read about but would never spend my own money on.
Wow, a successful man. He must be intelligent.
Oh good, a guy who can pull his own weight.
Oh great, another pretentious asshole who thinks he's going to get laid because he has money.
Next, please. A guy who has to list his high income is clearly trying to make up for other inadequacies.
If a guy lists a lower income, say $25K or less, what is the first thing to come to mind?
Please select the closest option.
What a hottie! If I buy him dinner, I bet he'll sleep with me.
Wow, a guy who's just honest about who he is and where he's at in life. That's refreshing.
I'll have to apply the balancing test. What's his literacy level again?
Yeah, I just don't think I'd be comfortable dating a guy who makes less than me.
Um, next please.
If a guy does NOT list his income, what's the first thing that comes to mind?
Please select the closest option.
What's this guy hiding?
Finally, a guy who doesn't feel the need to flash his wallet in order to get a date.
This guy is comfortable with who he is and probably comfortable to be around.
Have you ever listed a desired income range for your potential partner?
Yes
No
If your answer to the previous question is Yes, please explain your reasoning.
If a man lists an income range for his desired partner and you don't fall into that range, are you most likely to:
Check all that may apply.
Move on. Clearly he knows what he wants, and I'm not it.
Wait for him to make the move because only he knows how important income is to him.
Talk to him anyway. Who finds their perfect match anyhow, right?
