Does a man's role change in a woman's eyes when he makes less money? (56)
happy369: are talking bout inches or meters
I prefer the metric system
reb56: or alpha male lol.
In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker...
MADDOG: ... this is one thing I can't get my head around... I do feel a bit intimidated if I get talking to a woman out and about and realise that she's earning more. Women generally mate up market.. so I'd feel like I was over stepping my mark.
My gf makes 3 times the money I make... let me tell you: it's wonderful
It all depends on what generation you're talking about. The Equal Rights Amendment was passed in 1972. Prior to that, men didn't accept it that their wife made more money then they did. They felt belittled because they assumed people would think she was smarter, more qualified then he was to do the same job. Back in the day, it was assumed that men were supposed to be the bread winner in the family.
My father made very little money working on a railroad in comparison to my mother who worked for a pharmaceutical company. At times he would brag about where she worked but knowing him as I did, I have no doubt that under his breath he felt he was second class. But, he knew the family of six people would have been destitute if she didn't have that job.
In today's world, if I made more money then my boyfriend he should look at it as my contribution to keeping our household out of the hands of creditors. It's not about who makes the most money but more about working together to keeping our lifestyle on an even keel.
The three things that will tear people apart more then anything else are money, lack of intimacy and loss of communication.
In a living arrangement, someone should keep records of where the money is going. The men will soon see that you're glad she makes more money then you do. If the woman is really into the relationship and not about throwing it in his face that she contributes more money then he does, then the relationship will be more about love then about money.

I think it depends on what they have based the relationship on. Love ...or money 
Of course!
When I was 23, one day I said my gf to give me a kiss, she replied me “first get a better salary job then I shall think”. She was Indian.
When I was 35, my marriage was canceled and my gf had changed her phone number because she and her mother got another person who had a better salary job than me. Although it was partly WORLD FAMOUS INDIAN ARRANGED MARRIAGE(arranged negotiation-bargaining!)
When I was 38 my foreign gf rejected me because I could not give her per month 50,000 as per her country’s currency.
So, I must say, at least in this part of Asia, A MAN IS A MAN ONLY IF HE HAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY! Honesty, love, faithfulness… these are simply nonsense provocation. JMO.

I agree, at least I had no issues when my husband could no longer work. Nor would it concern me what someone I met earned.
Dont care what she earns...as long as she spoils meeeeeeeee

You want a "Sugar Mommy"
Pom_Pom: You want a "Sugar Mommy"
Why not....but a younger one than me,or around my age 
Personally, i have never been out with a woman who has shown the slightest interest in what i have or do not have.Likewisw,i couldnt careless what they earn,or how established in life they are.
Perhaps some men lack confidence in themselves.If you are the sort of man a woman wants,she will take you into her life whatever your financial position is.
Perhaps a bit more understanding of how a woman thinks wouldnt go amiss.
As far as the men who say it does make a differance,stand up and be counted.

I thought at one time I would love to have a "house-husband" - that is a man who stays at home (maybe an artist or some other creative type) and I would earn the living for the both of us.....
well now that I am getting close to retirement.... 6 years and counting..... I still want that....
Money is not so important except more of it can allow more choices and possibilities -
however I am still interested in men that have a purpose and responsibilities and contribute in the world - whether it makes them a scad of money or not - it is not important - that they are involved in life - that is important.

And if the roles do change and he becomes the house Husband, then he may want to consider this
I've had relationships with those having money and those less so. There are nice and not so nice with people who are well off and those who are not.
However, on the whole, I have found those with money to be pretentious, arrogant, selfish and dismissive of the natural qualities of genuine people.
Give me a poorer fellow with an awareness of what really matters in life and moral fibre any day!!

Not at all as far as I'm concerned. Very often in long term relationships earning power shifts between one and the other. The problem as I see it is division of labour in the home.
If I'm working my butt off as I do, often to quite late in the evening, I would expect my partner, if he is home long before me, to at least have dinner prepared.

I dont think so. If woman made more than me, I wouldn't care. . and the same when a woman makes less money..and I think that's the way it should be.
Yes, if he becomes unemployed, he will have to do all work around the house! 
Obstinance_Works: And if the roles do change and he becomes the house Husband, then he may want to consider this
Funny, some time ago I read a British study that found exactly the opposite!
Jeepers, which decade are you living in? I know plenty of men who are "house husbands" and are more than happy doing it. Their partner has the business brain and so they swapped (traditional) roles. The times, they are a changin'
Sometimes it does.

Bravo, well said!
Men who seem to have had bad experiences with women who measure them by the size of their wallets should consider why they are attracted to such patently shallow individuals to start with...
Personally, I want a man who is proud of what I have achieved instead of seeing me as his rival with whom he must compete.
I couldn't agree more. Amen LadyDiz!

jobs and careers come and go....who makes what changes...why not just be pleased that there's another income?
ideally both folks use both incomes to contribute to the We......no?
but i sort of understand ...years ago, i dated a guy that made a lotta $, and i stopped seeing him because i felt like i couldn't keep up, and i didn't want to be supported.
having said that...
i don't think it's about how much money a person makes...but more about what type of person they are.
