I've been hearing some women dangerously venturing into lowering-their-standards territory for bewildering reasons. "I don't make a lot, so why would I deserve a man that makes much more?". You exclusively want men that make above six figures? You deserve one. Seven figures? You still do. Eight figures? You. Deserve. One.
How much you make is irrelevant. It makes zero difference whether you have a high-paying job. You're a queen by default, for being a woman, and a queen deserves queen treatment, regardless of her own financial status.
Get this: we live under patriarchy, and this undoubtedly has an effect on whether women can achieve their financial goals. But scrotes? They have no excuse. Any man could make however many figures he wants to. If he doesn't, that should tell you a lot about him.
I agree with your sentiment.
I've seen men resent women for making too little. I've seen men resent women for making too much. LVM will say anything to get out of providing financially for the women they're romantically involved with.
I've seen both situations:
If the woman "makes too little", men will call her a gold digger for daring to date outside her tax bracket.
If the woman "makes too much", men will expect her to foot most of the bills. If she can pay for it all, why bother pulling out his wallet?
How much a woman makes is largely irrelevant, in most cases. The important thing is to weed out the non-providers who think any excuse is a good excuse not to provide for the woman they're dating.
I like the sentiment of not settling, but I do think realism is needed.
Eight figures when you're making minimum wage is probably not realistic. Doctors tend to marry doctors and nurses. Millionaires are probably not going to propose a waitress.
But if its X salary or youre prepared to never marry, then have at it.
Nobody deserves anything just for being born, and some people really don't deserve what they want from life. What a ridiculous take.
