The title is a Reference to a famous Cher quote. I don't necessarily agree with her but I have a question.
What are the dating prospects like for women who earn significantly higher? Do our options get better or worse? I'd love to hear personal experiences. I'm looking to level up in my career and to some extent that could mean that I have to focus more on work and less on dating.
My journey so far has been that after successfully dating "up" for most of my adult life, I've come to realise that access to better quality men depends a lot on your social circle and being somewhat successful yourself. I was a part of the early SB groups where the trope of a wealthy man supporting a pretty waitress he met was common. In reality, those kinds of arrangements do happen, but are usually short lived and unstable.
Im looking to the future and my retirement, my savings and assets and want to build them so I have the freedom to live how I want. Most of the "career women" I know are either perpetually single, or in 50/50 marriages. Do I have to choose between work and a partnership or is there a 3rd way?
All comments are welcome.
P.S. There was a Fds podcast episode about career/money I saw posted on Reddit but I can't find it. If anyone has listened to it or can point me to a link I'd be grateful.
"Most of the 'career women' I know are either perpetually single, or in 50/50 marriages."
I have noticed this as well, and I can't provide any counterexamples. I've even met "career women" who've supported their male partners completely.
It is disturbing.
Edit: I would love to hear about aforementioned counterexamples.
