Guys: how would/do you feel about having a partner who earns more than you?

I would not have a problem with it. Most men probably would though because it affects their self esteem.

Money is important in a relationship..just as important as sex..the Man doesn't have to be the sole provider but he should be there when his woman needs help or is a jam..not to be a sugar daddy though..to be there when it's important.

IF YOUO LOVE HIM\nWANT HIM, AND ARE SATISFIED  ?? why do you ask the question is it worth it is he paying you?  OR ARE YOU HOPIING HE HAS MORE IMAGINATION, OR HE IS JUST NOT MEETING YOUR NEEDS.?\nIF ALL IS WELL, YOU MUST BE A SWEET MEAL,  ENJOY\n\nLOVE THAT

Yes.  To me it does matter.  It doesn't matter because of how much they make or status or anything like that.  With my profession it is hard to date certain people.  On the same note, some guys don't want to date me because of my profession.  So, it does matter.

be careful for what u'r asking. many people will gladly help you financially but will ask something in return afterwards, like sex. how far are you willing to go?

Yes..... that's why my GF and I aren't rushing into marriage yet.  Once I get my degree and start making good money (hopefully), then we'll get married.  Right now, we are eligible for help and it helps with taxes, etc.  Sad but true.

it doesn't mean he's better than you..it means he has more money than you.\nhowever, a lot of people do not like to date outside of their class. i have a friend who loves me to death.. would ove nothing more than for me to give up my pee on job and have him support me and live with him. he pulls down over 6 figures a year. does he think of me any less b/c i have a 7 dollar an hour type job. no, b/c he sees that i have goals ambitions and whatnot..\nhave you ever thought you might just be fun for the guy?? sorry, but if you were important to him..than he'd introduce you to the family. obviously you aren't b/c he won't.. so it's high-time you make a decision of wanting to be with him or not and accepting how he treats you..

how much do you want? Most gals want it as much as guys who want it loads.

not spouse, but yes, I make about 3 times what my live-in boyfriend does, after he pays his child support.  No, I am just glad he's a decent guy who WILLINGLY pays his child support, unlike that worthless piece of crap "daddy" of my daughter's!

No. My husband and I both work and I respect him very much, as he does me. And in today's world, at least in the US, you need 2 incomes to keep a household running.

Well, i'm not a man so i will never have a wife, and i'm not married, so its a dificult one for me, but i can say if i would like to be in a marriage where I make more money than my husband..... \nI suppose that as long as he is not broken because he is a lazy man, you know, the tipical man that never finds the rigth job, so he cannot take that, or maybe the one who is always changing jobs and is not capable to remain someplace, then i would't care about it.

if you work that should be a no brainer, but if he is the bread winner there still shouldn't a problem with u hav'n money in your pocket remember you are his wife, partner, equal not his child.\n\nI also think he does that b cuz he want to control you, sounds like underneath it all u r really the strong one and it scares him for u to have some control!!!

Money shouldn't matter in a relationship, personality should be the most important thing. For me, the man must be able to support himself, he doesn't need to be super rich or earn more money than I do.

I guess that depends on the circumstances.  How well do you know this person and what do you expect out of each other?\n\nIf you don't care about someone then I think that perhaps knowing how much someone makes is more intimate that oral sex.  \n\nIf you are totally into the person you are with ... then it only makes things better!!

I dont. I think when women make that statement, they need to really think about it first.\nWhen I think about equality, its more about fairness. If Im doing a mans job, which I am, I should be paid equally. I work my as* off picking up 60-80 lb cases and I certainly dont wait for my male coworkers to come and help. If I took the job, I should be able to do it. \n I also believe that if I ask a man out for a drink then I should be the one paying and not get pissed off when he doesnt automatically open his wallet.

When you cut urself out of the picture and you don't count anymore you have just crossed that line in settling.  They say you should always expect the best and accept no less.  But that isn't really realistic.  Unless they mean the best person for you.  I feel you should always be willing to settle if you can still be happy.  If you can't, then the settling isn't worth it.  Like some women wish to marry a millionaire, but would be happy with a guy who was just reasonably rich.  Settling there is fine.  But don't give up you to be happy.

I would prefer having the love of your life because money is relative. There are tons of poor people who seem to more happy than people with loads of personal possessions. It seems like they found love and somehow they survive relying on the strength of each other.
