Dating Advice

In this new millennium, men and women have equal earning power. It is not hard to find that more and more husbands earn less than wives, and some husbands are opting to become stay-at-home dads and let their wives bring home the bacon. When you meet an amazing woman who just happens to make more money than you, are you supposed to just walk away? Or should you pursue and woo her regardless of what your pay stubs and bank statements say?

In my opinion, if you meet a good and successful woman who doesn’t care about who makes more money, then a man should date her regardless who has the stronger earning power. Here are some tips to date a woman who just might earn more than you without killing your confidence:

• Get to know her (not her money) better.
  Actually, dating a woman who just happens to make more money than you is not different from dating a woman who makes less. Especially in the early stage that you get to know one another, she wants you to get to know her quality and personality, but not her money. Instead of focusing on how much she makes, you should look for shared interests and common goals. Rather than trying to impress her with expensive gifts and dinners, you should have activities that you both enjoy without focusing on money.
• Do not be intimidated by her success.
  Most successful women intend to date and dump men who feel inferior to them. You should not be that kind of guy. She appreciates you that much more if you are secure with yourself as well as with her financial success. In fact, taking care of a woman involves more than financial support. Women are more apt to appreciate emotional intimacy with a secure man.
• Know how to handle your money.
  While the wrong kind of women may focus on how much you make, the right kind of women is far more interested in how you handle your money. Most women appreciate that you are capable of living within your means, save for the future, and invest wisely.
• Make time for each other.
  Just because a woman is financially independent of you does not mean that she does not need you to be an integral part of her life. Most successful women have busy careers and finding time for one another may be difficult. So, it should take compromise on both parts. You two should try to work together to make plans and rearrange schedules when necessary.
• Let her pay sometimes.
  The good thing of dating a successful woman is that your bank account does not have to bear the brunt of your courtship. When letting her pay sometimes, you can sit back, relax and enjoy getting to know the amazing woman sitting across from you. So, dating an incredible woman who earns more than you can let you have more money left for marriage. Isn’t it a win-win situation?
