Would you be willing to date someone making under 1/3 of what you make, who doesn't have a STEM degree and who doesn't look like Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie?
All that is fine if they look like Ashley Greene. Elon Musk did this with Amber Heard.
Housewives don't make any money. They take care of your kids. What a silly question.
Househusbands as well. I like the new word!
Housewives/husband are worth their value in gold. An equivalent person to hire would be lacking the compassion and affection of the housewife/husband and often costs 50% + of the lowest earner in the family. If every family recognizes this and additionally stops treating househusband as some loser , many families would be less miserable.
Forgot to mention househusbands
I essentially have one of those
Is your question a series of ANDs?
Or is it a series of NANDs
My ex made like 1/5th of what I was making lmao
Given this comment, we can deduce why they're your ex

For me, there's got to be minimum requirements for each category: Income - at least self sustainable STEM degree - not required but not an airhead and has some level of ambition Looks - at least 7
I dated people ranging from teacher, police officer to tech director and VP. I think that it's best to find someone that matches your financial level... when I was dating the VP, I didn't feel comfortable wasting money on 5 star hotel or enjoying luxurious dinner by the beach - it's just not my thing. It won't work out unless we are both willing to sacrifice
Not all VP waste money on a 5 star hotel. More like find someone whose spending mindset aligns closely to yours. The same for people who imagine spending money they don't have and always Brock. If both partners have a good money management skills, it could workout financially but there is other aspects to look into beyond Financial.
When you are VP, it would be wasteful and bad financial management to not use the 5* hotel.
For people who want their partner to have similar earning potential... What happens if later on one of you gets a big break or big set back that changes the equality? Is it only important at the beginning or do you actually expect to continue to meet each other? Careers and opportunities change so much that I can't wrap my head around how this can be so important - it's too fluid.
I think it’s important at the beginning. Later on hopefully you continue to support each other when the change happens. Though I’m still not convinced that there is a way for two people in a relationship to have careers at the exact same level and survive. I’m talking equally successful or equally non-successful.
Balance is key
