Any income is good, timely or not. Remember steady income means steady work and if there is no time to play, it may not be worth it. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. jmho
I would say steady income signals more security, but any willingness of a male to earn a living is a bonus. Males who just expect hand-outs are a big turn off, but else any form of income or at least true effort to earn a living are fine.
I like to spend on dates, more than I should. This is a major reason why I set-aside a particular season to date. If I dated all of the time, I'd be broke really quick.

Dating doesn't have to cost a lot, i suppose it depends on your style of dating

I actually hate gifts. I like gestures but not presents, presents make me feel real uncomfortable and guilty. Also I remember one guy spent on one night out with me more than what I spent the whole months on living, including rent and bills. I didn't want it! I tried choose the cheapest things from those blastedly expensive menus but he wasn't having it, even told me off Didn't date him again, felt he was trying to buy me and while I can be won, conquered and owned - I can't be bought
unlaoised: Permanently? perhaps not but a man who has ambition and drive is an attractive proposition. Besides, I wouldn't want to support a man financially
And it isn't about the actual income so one gets to spend his money, but about attitude. Ambition though is a tricky one. I don't like guys who live to climb some social ladder to feel they are 'someone' within this messed up modern human world. Money is unfortunately a must in this environment, but I prefer a male who earns it to invest towards a lifestyle that makes him independant. I had guys with heaps of money woo me, but they felt weak inside, it was all about status symbols and acknowledgment, not about being able to survive in the best possible way. Huge difference to me personally.

Thank you very much for sharing, miss. I'll keep that with me for consideration indeed. On my behalf, I believe that I give gifts, not only because I want to, but maybe to help eliminate my guilt, knowing that it's a short term partnership. Thank you again, I'm thinking.

When I say "ambition", I don't mean the corporate ladder climber...I'd say that at this age, all of that would have been done and dusted already. It is absolutely all about attitude

unlaoised: it really is the little gestures that mean so much...all it takes is a bit of imagination
And can tell a female A LOT about a male. Just pulling the wallet out constantely could mean little imagination, even insecurities, too soft for his own good.. and depending on the type of female, this could lead her to distance herself, or she could see an opportunity for gain instead

I believe, I'll continue to go over board. That's just me. Allow me to be the patron Saint of men that are crazy about women. The crazy don't do down to earth things.
felixis99: clearly I can't speak fro other women, but for me a steady income with consistent employment history is an indication of a stable personality and a sense of responsibility that has always been important in a partner. I simply wouldn't get along well with someone who did not have those things.
In today's economy, a steady income isn't an easy thing to have. People still can't find a job, they are losing their homes and don't have medical insurance because they lost their job.
As long as a man as the ambition to look for work then he's okay in my book. If he's sitting around eating bon bons and playing on the internet all day then I'd be concerned about his lack of responsibility.

I agree with what you say regarding finding/losing jobs,losing homes or medical coverage.Times are tough now and probably will be for some time to come.
The other way around,if a man loses his job,and is struggling to find another,and she walks away without giving him a chance,she is not worth having anyway.
