High earning women, how do you date? I seem to meet men who have a problem with my salary and that I would want a prenup (while married joint finances) in case of divorce. Help

tough - I can’t meet a guy that matches my income or ambition. Even those with high income have kids and are terrible with $ ..🚫

Maybe you should stop disclosing this info (how much you earn / pre-nup) at the start of your relationships so you give it a chance to develop…if a man told me his salary and conditions for marriage on the first few dates, it would be a red flag (and I would think he was a d-bag). I have always made a lot more than my partners and the foundation for a relationship is trust, respect, and love not money or preservation of assets.

Sounds like you got to see a side of him that would have been a dealbreaker but never had a chance to come out until then. I would consider myself lucky to have seen that before taking any further steps and I would turn around and run!

it s a problem for our generation as statistically speaking men are dating equal or down, women equal or up.

since women got access to a good job, less pool of men earn equal or more then us.

therefore dating problems both for women and men

I have found success dating people with careers that are more passion oriented compared to money oriented. This does mean a majority of the people I date earn less than me, but they are very supportive of my career. The only time I had this issue was when I I dated another consultant and they had an issue with my compensation which lead to a breakup.

I agree with you on finding success with people who are more passion oriented rather than more money oriented. I have a partner who makes less than me, and is very good at managing money because he never had a lot.

He also wanted to be the stay at home parent, and he was great at it! As the kids went to school more, he went back and got 2 advanced degrees. His salary upon re-entering the workforce was good. The “family gap” in his résumé was not the negative that women often see.

It’s not for everyone, there are assumptions people make along the way. However, you’re going to be atypical, keep being atypical!

Dating? I’ve been single 7 years 😂

14 here.....even before I made money I was intimidating and apparently has only gotten worse as my net worth has grown

Keep your finances to yourself. Unless you are at a place where marriage is in the near future, you should never disclose this information to a dude. Literally for nothing else but your own protection, don’t do it.

Terrible advice. Having appropriate level of money convos throughout a relationship is healthy. Men aren't stupid....they are going to notice your car/house/clothes/shopping habits/vacations/etc

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.
