Some guys wouldnt feel comfortable with the fact that their ladies make more cash than them, i guess it has to do with pride and the fact that as a man you are the one who is supposed to be the foundation/leader in the household and you suppose to be the one working hard and providing. now if your lady has a greater capacity to provide than you then that in most cases guys dont feel comfortable with it.

id like to know how you'd feel about it ladies. you guys can let me know what you think.

I'm working towards a law degree, and my boyfriend is uneducated. But he has a big heart. I think if you really love the person, we as ladies don't care as long as we can be happy together.

Of course, i can't speak for all girls.. Because some of my friends want money so they go sugar daddies or be a gold digger. And they're proudly admitted that to me.

I wouldn't mind but it will be tough on the both of us if I'm not earning enough for the two of us - realistically speaking. I think it's fine if the guy doesn't take advantage of your income standing and whatnot. That's just my 2 cents.

The real question is: ladies, would you get married to a guy who cooks better than you do and every day, just for you? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What kind of sissy would that 'guy' be? Household cooking is for women.

I wouldn't mind it at all if the guy doesn't mind it, but if he's all "oh you make more than me, how am I supposed to be the pillar of the household?" I'd drop that guy.

@Clebardman since I don't really like cooking very much, that would be a super awesome arrangement.

A woman making more than a man is irrelevant if the guy already makes enough to support the household. All other money would be excess, providing opportunities for a higher quality of living. I already make a decent amount, so someone making more than me would mean a whole lot of vacations, dinners, and new experiences <3

In cases of significant differences, such as high end lawyer marrying a McDonald's cashier, I personally would just be a stay at home Dad. Cook, clean, wash, give massages when wifey gets home, give bomb oral and fk her brains out, be supportive, and ect. Sounds good to me.

Odds are I'll be earning a bit more than my husband when we both finish school and start our careers, so yes.

The amount of money you make doesn't really matter. I just think it's important for both people to have jobs. Unless you're married to Donald Trump, you can't live off of one salary, especially if you have children to take care of.

As a guy, for me it's just more money.
The main priority in my re;ationship would be that we both contribute to the household somehow.

I lIke the logic behind this... Personally speaking if my wife was making more than me, it would just motivate me to level up and grind harder.

it is also a basic life skill that any sufficient person should have. does your mom still do your laundry too?
Hahah, Keyword : Household. You can cook anything you want, but a man cooking for his Household while his wife sits is just... Actually, I have maids that change my clothes for me daily when I wake up

Actually, it's not. If a man gets upset over his wife making more money, then we first need to analyze what he's upset with: Is he upset with himself, or with his wife? If the former, then we need to know exactly why he's upset. If the latter, then waifu-material has a point here.

I can see myself as one who'd be upset with himself if his partner earned more than him. Why so? because I'm power hungry. In fact, this situation would never be a permanent one for me. If my wife earns more than me today, then 2 years later, my earnings will be five times that of hers. I don't like being static. And I don't like it when the people around me are ahead of me in something and I do nothing to defeat them -- unless I deem the pursuit irrelevant and money is most relevant.

I wouldn't mind earning more money than the man I'd marry. I know I'd be the one wearing underpants anyway, if I ever get to marry :p

@tsuyokunaru @Nyarlathothep I like your stance on the subject ;)

@Yarub hmmmpf, I think I'll keep improving my cooking skills. You can have "manly" stuff like motorbikes, factory jobs or business suits :3.

any dude who needs to make more money than their gf to feel proud has some other big issues. If i had a gf and she made more money than me, I'd be 100% ok with that, like SPOIL ME DADDY.

I have a boyfriend and am supporting him for 1,5 years already while he is getting his own company going. He keeps telling me he's going to make milions and will pamper me once that time comes. Until then I just laugh and pay the rent, groceries and most of the other expenses with my income. It's okay because I know he's trying really hard and I believe his work will pay off some day (preferably sooner than later lolol).

I wouldn't mind if his company didn't make as much money as he wishes it to. As long as we won't have to count every penny it's fine by me because we support each other. I understand it's a pride thing to men, but this is the 21th century so it's not that big of a deal anymore.

Yeah lol, it doesn't really worry me.
I want to be able to financially support myself with my own career, with or without a partner.
So I don't mind how much my partner earns, as long as he has some sort of job or studying.

In theory you could just grow your own food.

Most women in my previous work place probably earn more than the average male (national average) just by virtue of being a relatively well paid industry. It was definitely not unusual for some of them to date guys who earn less than they do.
