How does a man tell a woman he has a huge income without offending her?

Question

It seems like a man can tell a woman he is a doctor or a lawyer and she becomes impressed, but if a man just says he has a six-figure income, the woman is repulsed. Why is that?

Answer 1

I wouldn't even tell her. A lot of women would use you for that only (I have friends that way so I know that to be true) so why even tell her?

Answer 2

I'm sure it's because the way you say it make you look like an arrogant jerk and that's a turn off; besides being a Doctor or a Lawyer means you are smart, well educated, dependable and responsible, at least in theory, but trust me if lawyer hit at me and say "hey baby I have a six-figure income", well that woul be the end of the conversation, he's got writen "jerk" on his forehead.

By the way what do you do for a living? Is it a legal job?

Don't say anything about numbers, unless you are ask about it, just let them see your car and your house, they'll figure out the rest.

Answer 3

If a man has a profession of any type - so long as he has graduated from a post-school program, it lets a woman know that he understands COMMITMENT and DEDICATION. Some men just don't "get" this! If a guy just tells a woman that he's got a 6-figure salary, he sounds like he's bragging about money and thinks that she can be bought. That's an insult! Nowadays a big income could be from pimping or selling drugs - no indication that he has brains or backbone at all. If a man feels he has to tell a woman about his money, he is insecure and probably has a teenie weenie weenie. Like guys who drive an overblown "Hummer" or supersize SUV and they live in a city - he's got a tiny one, ladies! When a couple are introduced, and conversation develops, the occupations usually come out in a natural way - like HIM: "Do you work downtown? We could meet for lunch?" HER: "Oh, yes, I'm a secretary at XYZ Realty on 5th." HIM: " I know where that is. My practice is around the corner." HER: "Your practice?" HIM" Yes, I'm a dentist". HER: 'PLEASE MARRY ME TODAY." LOL Just joking but you get the drift. If a guy is introduced and within minutes feel like he has to tell you the model of car he drives and how much cash he earns, then give him the brush off. He's a)insecure, b) a liar c)a player, d) all three.

Answer 4

Not so. The issue of money and income should not be revealed or boasted about when dating. If a man feels it's necessary to state his income it appears as if he is trying to impress. The repulseviness may come from the fact that the man even feels the need to reveal his income. Which in turn reveals the lack of value that he places on himself as a person and exposes more emphasis on how much he is worth. That would certainly repulse any woman with a keen sense of moral value vs. monetary value.

Answer 5

Sorry but to me 6 figure income it doesn't mean that much. It wouldn't impress me.
If you would say you have at least 20 million dollars with housekeeper and driver , or if you would have servants,yeas, servants that's real power.

Or if you would have followers who would do anything for you.

But If that person is scared of your money, it means she doesn't like that kind of life you have. Maybe she is just thinking that when she will settle down and have kids she will have an idylic life that is not exposed. She probably associates money with being exposed, obliged to have friends you don't like,to go in certain society places. Maybe she's not that kind of person.

You have to think well if you want neither of you to be hurt or changed.Because some times the changes could last a life time.

But if you love her show her how well she fits in your life, among your old friends,invite her often to have dinner with you and your friends in a cosy atmosphere where she will feel safe and happy with you.

Answer 6

Repulsed Not.... honey, I wouldn't care if you made six figures as the garbage man. Why do you find it necessary to tell this woman that you have a huge income anyway? Are you trying to impress her? How would that offend her? Women get offended if you tell us things like....you have a big butt, your breath stinks, sex is bad......, your hair do is ugly, your baby is ugly.....but still don't understand why she(or any woman) would be offended when you tell her your LOADED.

Answer 7

because, the position of a doctor or lawyer is still reputable. Leaving the profession out, and focusing on the money, makes it shallow. Notice how a doctor doesn't have to quote his income to make an impression. I make sh*t for money and I work with motorcycles. Girls find THAT exciting, not the money

Answer 8

You haven't met the right woman yet! What you make isn't any of her business unless your relationship gets really serious like engaged serious. If you want to impress her and brag about your income a little just say you are financially stable you do well for yourself in your financial capacity. Just blurting it out is kinda harsh like look at me I make the big bucks...but casually mentioning that you are financially stable is safer. Good Luck.

Answer 9

Rich people know that talking about money is tacky. Telling her how much money you make tells her a few things. It says that you think that money is all she cares about, that she's a gold digger. Most girls would be offended by that suggestion, even if it's true. It also tells her what most impresses you about yourself. If money is all that you have to offer, then a relationship is out of the question. Also, telling a stranger exactly how much money you have is a terrible idea; a fool and his money are soon parted.

Answer 10

What planet have you met these women on? It sure wasn't Earth...LOL!

I've never heard of a female being "repulsed" by learning a guy has a high income...some even seek out such men and won't date guys that don't make at least 6 figures.

At the least, many of us prefer a guy who has it together financially and can support himself (esp if he's of an age to be well into his career).

Answer 11

It's okay to say what you do for a living... I've known lawyers who were broke..lol... but don't just come out and tell a woman you make a lot of money cause she might be insulted if she's the kind of woman that can't be bought... you don't have to say anything, she'll it from your lifestyle...
