Also, status is EXTREMELY important to me. It's all about money and status. The thing is though, I am intelligent enough in order to provide for my own status symbols. I don't NEED a man to provide those items for me because I am competent enough in order to achieve them myself.

 

I have no respect for women who depend on a man for status. Please. I make my own status.

 

I am more competent and intelligent than most men out there, why would I need to depend on a man for damn thing.

 

I get insulted when guys like you think that a woman would even NEED a man to provide for her. What makes you think a woman would need anything from you? Some women might even be a lot more successful and WEALTHIER than you. How do you like THAT?

 

Oh I know. I'm just letting him know that there ARE some women out there who earn more than men. It appears a lot of people are not aware of that since a lot of people seem to AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME that for whatever reason it's the man who does. Or that a woman might even want a man for money because some women can do it all by themselves and even be more successful than the man.

 

What can I say, I'm a competitive person and I have to let people know because everyone underestimates me and probably doesn't realize that I make good money. Therefore I have to let people KNOW so they know not to mess with me.

 

Not this old chestnut again.

 

How can people assume that when you are here to remind everyone of how much MORE THAN YOUR BOYFRIEND YOU MAKE Cutegirl.

 

Enough already! We KNOW.

 

Nobody on LS underestimates you, because you use every opportunity you see to remind us of how much money you make.

Boo hoo. Big deal.

There are a few of us women on LS who make six figure salaries, do you hear us all going on about it 24-7?

In my experience, women care about looks just as much. They just aren't honest about it.

Women like to groom the hot guys into becoming successful and reliable men. Like that ever works.

 

This is absolutely true. We women care about looks just as much as men do. We want a guy that makes us swoon. The only women who date and marry guys for their money and power are prostitutes and gold diggers. If you are lucky enough to marry a "JFK, Jr." type and have it all then "you go girl" but otherwise I'll take looks over money and power anyday.

I am extremely materialistic but I am successful enough that I can earn enough for the both of me and my bf (even though he is unemployed). I make over six figures a year and my bf makes NONE right now. I actually dislike men with money, I find them obnoxious and arrogant.

 

I am capable and competent enough whereas I do not need ANY financial assistance from ANY man. I am very competitive. I can fend for myself.

 

I have a lot of pride, I would not take anything from a man. I actually like to pay for myself on dates. Seriously, don't think your doing women a favor by earning a lot of money, a lot of women already ARE more successful than you and don't NEED anything from you (or any man whatsoever).

 

There are more and more women out there like you Cutegirl who make a good living and are independent financially. Therefore, looks and personality will definitely play a more important role in choosing a man in the future. High earning women don't need to choose a man for money or power.

This is assuming that the woman doesn't intend to have children. It's hard to juggle a high-paying job and the demands of motherhood. A woman can surely "do it all" without a man up to a point, but once you're knocked up and then have to raise the kids, it's a different story.

 

I guess being the entrepeneur that you boast so loudly about being at every possible turn, you will have accumulated enough wealth if you ever decide to have children. But that is not the case for a lot of people.

I'm sure some women marry higher status men and some probably more for money than anything.

 

However I think in general those with higher status or in your scenerios higher education might mingle more because of their lifestyle or because of their values(how they view education and finances) and not so much the money issue.

 

I think its more likely for two people with degrees to marry than one without. The same for two with no degrees or Low end degrees.

 

Not that its impossible to marry someone higher educated or status.

 

 

Wanted to add that I had 2 years of college under my belt when I met my soon to be ex husband. His education level or lack there of never was a consideration.
