I disagree. It’s not that women don’t care about money as much as they used to. They actually still care! It’s that other factors are more important now than they used to be. Your looks is very important because women aren’t gonna die without a man (social media and dating apps hasn’t helped men either here). In older times, you needed a man or to be married to make a lot of things happen. We’re in a place now where women don’t need a man for financial purposes. This is a good thing but it comes with the downsides that now women are much more concerned with looks than they were in the past because they can be.
You’re still not going to attract women when you make less money than them. It’s still as important as it was before. For high earning women, the bar is even higher. You can’t just be income match - you often need to make significantly more. If she’s making $300k, you better be making $500k. If you don’t believe me - try getting on some dating apps and getting into a LTR with a woman in nyc or sf. You’ll find out that they care about money as much as they ever did.
Also, dating doesn’t mean long term.
- zozbot234 4y agoNYC or SF is hardly your average dating market, though. You're playing on hard mode.
- rhino369 4y agoNYC is easy mode due to the gender imbalance. Harder to attract women by flaunting income since there is a ton of money there. But there are more single women than men.
- bradlys 4y agoIf only this was true. https://imgur.com/a/Ji6ZoMV https://imgur.com/a/Ji6ZoMV Only Manhattan has more women living in it. Once you account for how many men come into the city at night and date women in Manhattan - it's kinda irrelevant. It's obviously better than SF for gender ratio but - tbh - it's not any better when it comes to realistic standards for a partner. I'd say it's worse if anything. Yes, the ratio is theoretically better but I find you run into more demanding women here who are constantly shopping around due to the sheer density of people. Ratio might be good but it doesn't stop people from constantly looking for something better. I've never been in a city where more women in relationships are constantly shopping around - even when they've been with said partner for years and are on their way to marrying them. It's a bonkers place.
- antisthenes 4y agoIt doesn't matter how many single women there are when they are only targeting top 5% of combination of height/success/looks
- greatpostman 4y agoI don’t think this is true. I’ve seen a lot of investment bankers in nyc struggling with women

- ShredKazoo 4y agoSeriously? Interested to hear more details.
- majikaja 4y agoUnfortunately for the women making $300k, guys don't care that much about income in return, especially if it's only 60% what they make.
