sex

Something that came to mind when reading other posts and it is not about sex. How do men and women feel about the other person earning a higher income? It doesn't really phase me. I am comfortable with my level of income and other perks that come along with the job. OR a biggie... would you not go out with someone because of the nature of their ocupation? Heard that a few time times. A few stories.. a mate couldn't handle his woman earning more than him. Didn't break them up... but use to chew him up. A gal pal was told once that someone she had started to see.. his mate thought she was stuck up and that he was wasting his time because of his job. Cop that! The gal pals gal pal (still wth me!) she wont date anyone that doesn't have a corporate job! I look beyond that, or would like to think I do. I must admit though, if I cant have a decent conversation (and great sex!) then it is a bit of a turn off. Over to you guys............................

    I dont really care what the occupation of the man is. It does not matter to me at all if his wages are less than mine. I am more than capable of earning enough money for myself and have been doing so for any years. What matters to me is personality. I also know of many men that balk at the fact that thier wives / partners earn more than them and I also know many couples that it really does not matter. I think it goes back to the days when man was the bread winner. The woman looked to the man to supply all her and the family needs and wants. This was not that long ago either as even it was less than a generation ago that women could not even own property in thier name. Any wages they earned was the legal property of thier husbands and to be single or divorced was a major shame.

    as long as he has a job...no offence to the men out there that dont work, but im sorry i wont even look at a man that is jobless just over the last few months the men iv been chatting to and getting to know have all been workaholics...yes they have the money and the income to die for...but they have lost everything else that they loved along the way so i think as long as the man is happy and has balance between work and a social life...that is what matters to me, money comes last roxxy

    I'd prefer a man who is passionate about whatever he does than a man who does a job for how much it pays. I would never choose a man for his income. It's my responsibility to earn enough to buy whatever I want. Hugs Miss Saturn

    Once upon a time, over a 3 month period I dated a: farmer; accountant; pilot; sparky; CEO of a large company; a truck driver; real estate agent; a RAAF guy; builder and a plumber. It was a meet & greet fest...only a couple stayed on for a while (can you guess which ones? hehe). For most of them, there simply wasn't an inspiring connection. Inspiring, I think thats the word...I like to be inspired by whom I am with
