A few years ago when I was a broke resident, this would’ve made zero sense. But after working a few years as a fully paid doctor, I now understand why people tend to marry in their income bracket

Don’t let that stop you, king, most of these women can’t afford the men in their lives

I might have been an adult too long to get this, unless it’s satire, but this sounds like a r/im14andthisisdeep situation.

If they “can’t afford you” then you aint a person looking for a relationship, youre a prostitute looking for a client.

I remember thinking that way once, then I graduated high school.

Why are all the posts today men trying “gotcha” that they can’t act the way (that they envision) women do? Y’all wanna be the girl in the relationship that badly?

I’m a pretty well-off woman, I was very lucky and was able to retire very young so I don’t really work anymore either. I think in my experience? Dating within your financial range is kind of mandatory now.
I can’t date a broke guy because it’s societally discouraged for a woman to have much more money than a man and then he’s emasculated and it always leads to arguments, but if I date a super rich guy I feel like his prostitute he’s bringing to dinner. Financial imbalance also directly correlates to a power imbalance. I’m the happiest I’ve been dating a man who grew up squarely middle class and ended up successful like I did. We both are comfortable, we have our money, but we also grew up on boxed Mac and cheese and didn’t go on expensive vacations. It’s relatable, understandable, and feels right. It feels like I’m not trying to fit into a life I don’t understand, or trying to make someone fit into my life that they don’t relate to.
…But this post isn’t about that or about having an actual intellectual conversation. It’s men trying to “gotcha” women because yknow, what else would it be?

Btw this is how classism starts, really going to use the white playbook against your own and denigrate people based on their wealth? You do you i guess, for me a relationship is finding someone i love and who loves me

As long as she can afford herself I don’t need her help.

I’m (girl) in corporate and my partner (boy) is an academic so I do make more than him — I’ve always been a pay proportionally to what you make person rather than an even 50-50 split (in both romantic/platonic relationships), so for our monthly contribution to our joint account I put in about 25% more than he does. Ofc this is just my own experience and we split most other stuff down the middle and he’s never felt some type of way about it, but I think it’s less about being in the same tax bracket but more about being in the same place in life (and income can be a good indication of this).

I cant afford me. I have a crippling shiny cardboard addiction.

Im lost, only issues this would cause are things that could be easily discussed. If you are flexing on the person you are dating you might have some issues.
