This is a rough question to ask, but I feel I need the insight. Ladies, I'll expect and accept responses that indicate you feel this question is meant to get a rise out of you, but it's not.
I only make $30,000 a year, and on the dating sites I visit, the ladies either have any income as their criteria or at least $50,000 a year.
Did they fill out the form willy-nilly, or should I not even consider the ones that need more money than I make?
Please elaborate. Thank you.

I would talk to them and find out the reason behind why they request more income.....maybe they are wanting a man that is responible at their job.....maybe they are making sure they don't end up with a fst food worker...or maybe they really are just in it for the money....or if they are like me they just want to be sure that the man they find will be able to support them if they ever have children.....now i would set an amount for that last one...i have 2 children and my man bounces from job to job and we can take care of our children just fine but we can't really afford anything else other then bills.......we don't have a car and even if we did we probably couldn't get it insured......but we deal and get by just fine.....if i didn't love my man so much i would choose a man with money so that if i ever needed help with cash he could help.....anyway thats what i think

If money is even a concern, she won't be worth it...do you want to spoil her into bankruptcy? Or do you want a woman with dignity and pride who cannot be bought. If ya spoil her to start with you had better keep it up or else she will never let you live it down.
And yes, initially it did get a rise out of me but then I thought about it. The best woman isn't going to list what she makes. Good luck.

Who you love should not be about the money, but the person.
But let's be honest here, love does not pay the electric bill.
A woman wants a man she can love no matter how much money he makes, but she also wants a man who can help support her and make a home with her. Notice I said with her, not for her.
A woman does not want to support the man. It must be a two person effort.
If I were you, I'd ask them why they picked that, then based on their answer, I would decide if I wanted to date them or not.

My husband didn't have a job when we first got together. He and I are happily married and we are not rich by anymeans. We are also not materialistic either. It would not be me if I had an expectation on how much a man should make. Most things I enjoy are free anyways.

What do these "ladies" need the money FOR? One's income should be the last thing to base a meaningul relationship on. If money is the basis for a relationship, then you get what you pay for!

if it's just dating... i'd say enough to treat her out once in a while..
but if it's a living situation, enough to pay half of the bills, or if you feel the whole "provider" feeling, than all of the bills.
Sometimes chicks just want a free ride with lots of excitement along the way at the expense of a man.. it's sick to me. but that's a woman for ya.

Ladys always end up making the most we got what they want any job line.

I consider it insulting if my boyfriend thinks he will "support" me when we get married. We have jobs so we don't have to think about the money or need the support.

chicks are only interested in one thing - money. if you dont make much lie about you income - most of them are probably too dumb to figure out how much you really make.
this sounds harsh but in 99% of all cases its true.

Money isn't everything. A woman should love you becuase..you're you. Not becuase of how much money that you make or how much that you have.
