    Whats the story these days, 21st and all that, anyone have any experience with male dating female who earn around 1.5 times - double his salary? Is it friends or short term at best? Similar education, interests, ambition etc. but just the particular carreer areas have different wage brackets :confused:

    So you're asking about experiences dating females that make more money than you?

    Strictly forbidden, totally taboo. Stay away from her, but pm me her details.

    It’s fantastic, they have no end of shiny stuff you can play with and, mostly, they want to go places in their much better car.

    Give up your old sexist stereotypes OP.


    They are not called "womens", we call them "wimmins" now.

    I'd love to be a kept man.

    My dream is be a man of leisure, have the dinner on the table for when my wife comes home looking to bang me.

    I would never date a rich woman for her money, power, looks or success. Mostly because they would have nothing to do with me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,801 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    I would date a rich woman for her personality

    It's only the 12th OP, a bit of time before you have to worry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    Why should it make a difference? It's the personalities and shared interests that matter. And who knows, maybe they'll have a child, and it will suit both better for the male to be a stay at home father and the mother to be the wage-earner. I see no harm in that if it works for the couple, and it will, slowly, revolutionise issues with males as the caregivers in law and society as well.

    Double what you make on the dole is not exactly being rich.

    Money isn't the be all and end all in a partner, what is much more important is personality, kindness, respect if she has all those qualities then you have nothing to worry about but it natural for a man to feel inferior if the woman earns more than him, Good Luck.

    If you're a member of the poor An Garda Siochana, I understand that the uniform makes up for a lot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Is it ok for women to go out with men who earn more than them?

    And what about gay couples?

    Why is it natural for a man to feel that way?

    Surely that day is long gone, or at least should be.

    Money is a lot like a vegetable patch.

    It's not the size of it that counts, it's how floury your spuds are.

    Is she taller than the man in the relationship as well ? Im sure there is an emasculation check list somewhere that can be used to sabotage any would be relationships with all these insignificant problems.

    My friends don't talk about their salaries, so I've no idea who earns what.

    More or less ye, and did anything ever come of it or was it just a bit of fun, or not.

    The endless quest to understand the female mind continues:P.

    I don't know if it is. Subconsciously at least a women is far less likely to find a man who earns less than her attractive. In my head anyway. I know of one or two but they been seeing each other from college and the difference isn't huge and happened over time. I'm 29 so meeting a career focused wimmen(stand corrected;)) at this age is a bit of a different ball game than 2 19 year olds. Most seem to have at least a range of what they want in their head. Probably even a few weirdos with checklists!

    I had one experience of dating a girl from a wealthy family.. she got a sports car for her birthday, she liked to go to Lilli's Bordello and Leeson Street night clubs.

    Her family used to go Christmas shopping to NY and they lived in an enormous house in a very 'desirable' address in Dublin.

    It didn't last too long, I got on well with her but I couldn't click with her friends, she became a different person when she was in their company ie. a bit of a snob.

    Once they really like each other, her earning more than him won't be an issue. Well it certainly shouldn't be anyway. It's really not of much concern in the grander scheme of things.

    How do you know which ones to date for the purposes of emasculating them so? About time you and your friends had a proper talk, get your priorities in order.

    Earning 1.5-double isn't that much of a divide imo. If he was on 30k and her 200-300k then yeah might not be too practical as she'd either have to compromise her lifestyle or finance his. Plus, she's going to be extremely career driven, ambitious etc and he may not.

    But even under those circumstances I can't see why it would be a show-stopper.

    I earn more than my husband and always have. We're in different careers so it's just how it is. Has never made any difference to either of us. We were both working went we got together as well.

    I earn a fair bit more than my oh and always have

    He's actually very supportive and does stuff to make my life easier as I travel a lot

    It doesn't really make a difference day to day tbh
