Ladies, would you date a guy who earns less than you?

Okay, so this is a question that's been on my mind for a while. I'm a guy in my late 20s, and I've been thinking about how traditional gender roles seem to be fading away. I've seen a lot of discussions about women's empowerment and financial independence, which I totally support. But I'm also curious about how this affects dating dynamics.

I've always been pretty ambitious, but my career path hasn't been as lucrative as some of my friends'. I'm totally okay with that, and I'm proud of what I've achieved. But I can't help but wonder if my earning potential would be a deal-breaker for some women.

So, ladies, I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Would you be open to dating a guy who earns less than you? What factors would influence your decision? Is it important to you that your partner has a certain level of financial stability? I'm genuinely interested in your perspectives.

I actually did. He is older than me with a lesser salary than me. He is very caring but my dad didn't accept us for this reason 🫣

It's not just about earnings, but mutual respect and ambition. Many women value compatibility and personal achievements over income differences.

My fiancé’s pay is 3x mine. And I feel guilty for not being able to scale up to a respectable pay or career advancement. This is my capacity - I am slow paced and a late bloomer in everything in my life. I feel like I don’t deserve a fia...
