would this be a bonus? or would you feel intimidated? or would it not be a factor in the equation?

For me it wouldn't matter as long as it didn't matter to her. Which obviously it shouldn't or she wouldn't be dating me. But I can imagine some guys would feel a little intimidated but if that is so they shouldn't be dating

I date a very wealthy woman. She owns three businesses. Prior to owning the businesses, she owned approximately 40 investment properties.
Is this a bonus?
Not necessarily. It is a bonus that we can holiday wherever we want. We don't waste money. However, time off together is difficult to co-ordinate.
Would I feel intimidated?
No. I've never felt intimidated because of her wealth, and I have no reason to be. I work within billion dollar companies, helping managers become more efficient. She owns million dollar companies. We have complementary careers. You would be correct if you guessed that managerial theory is a topic often discussed. The only times I am intimidated is just after I have shoved my foot into my mouth, which has nothing to do with wealth, but everything to do with empathy.
Would it not be a factor in the equation?
If it is not a factor during the dates, then it will be a factor after dates are over, when both are trying to build the relationship. We constantly struggle to make the relationship number 1 on our list of things to improve. We agreed that we would not go through marriage without building good relationship habits.
Wealth cannot be hidden for long in any intimate relationship, and there is no reason to hide honestly earned wealth. Both of us are comfortable with each other's wealth, and continuously encourage each other to improve upon it.

The issue of a ladies bank balance would never affect my attitude or feeling towards her at all. I have never been lucky enough to date a wealthy lad so far!
Money does not come into the equation at all and you should date guys and forget the money issue, when the time is right you will both find the right level.
Good luck and if you want a romantic night out on me, let me know! lol

I have quite a few friends that wives make more money than them and this does not seem to matter. It may change a few little things in the way you and your partner will do things but that is alright in these times. I wouldn't mind at all you picking me up and taking me out but would not want you to act like you do not want to be seen in or around my old truck. It is a lot more about how the two of you can feel around each other and be comfortable.

I've been there...and been invited to move in a few times. I felt like I would be there on the whim of the wealthy lady...kind of like part of the staff. Intimidated isn't really it...just temporary. I would be more watchful and see if I came up with the same feeling I did before....that she could buy anything or anyone she wanted.

The problem is for the woman knowing if the guy is with her just for the money.
Once you are wealthy, it gets around quickly and it takes a long time to trust someone.

If I had met a wealthy woman who wanted to go out on a date with me......well, I'm all for it! Just as long as I can afford to pay my way, and hopefully hers, at least for dinner. Maybe just being exposed to her circles would unveil a lucrative endevor for myself as well.

It would be a bonus if I really loved her. It would only be intimidating if she was intimidating!
You dont have to be wealthy/the bread winner, to be a man.
