Not all of them. I know as many girls as guys on minimum wage or unemployed.
Women date up . I seen tons of min wage women but they won't date anyone who earns min wage they want middle class 20-25 an hour
That would explain why I got more dates after I got a higher paying job.

I did get a few dates when I had a low paying job, the trick is to not tell them what your wage is.

I don't like hypergamy. When I was with exgf I was annoyed that she didn't have much money. She worked minimum wage as a cleaner. I kept on hinting that should get a higher paying job but she didn't listen. She kept complaining that I got paid a lot more than her even though she worked longer hours than me. I tried to tell her if she got a higher apying job she wouldn't have to complain about earning less than me.

I thought we would be together for a long time so I wanted to be with a girl who's financially stable, in the same income bracket as me. Where can I find a middle class girl to date? I don't want to date poor girls.

I really wouldn't mind being the main "breadwinner." I don't like "keeping house."

To me, "keeping house" is a job onto itself.

True. Keeping house is easier than keeping house and keeping job at the same time.

But I don't think I could stand to be in a single income couple. We'd be poor! 8O

Also the way tax works, we'd pay less tax if we both earned $55,000 per year than if one of us earned $110,000 per year.

It's pretty well known what jobs are what
If you work retail or fast food they know you're min wage

Office and construction are known middle class jobs

If someone didn't want to date me because of how little money I have then rested assured I don't want to date them either.

Granted, Cee Lo is "worth" $22M, but I still get such a kick out of this song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKxodgpyGec

I knew one young woman who told me straight up: "I'm going to marry for money." She was beautiful, intelligent (though NOT wise), well-educated, and earning a good chunk of money herself, but she also was--and probably always will be--horribly arrogant, elitist, vain, micro-managing and uncooperative, and it was impossible for anyone to convince her that her way wasn't absolutely right and far superior to anyone else's ideas, approaches, or policies. She made her co-workers MISERABLE; I can't imagine what she would do to some unfortunate soul who actually fell for her.

IMO, this song is a wonderful middle finger aimed at the shallow, foolish, squealing-at-diamonds girls out there. I only wish more of them would end up with total a-holes! :tongue:

Well, then clearly those girls prefer being single to adjusting their standards - a legit choice, albeit one I'd like to think I wouldn't make.

Fwiw, my current Bf makes a bit less than me and it isn't an issue.

What if it was a lot less.
Say you make 22-30 and hour and he makes $10 and hour working part time?

Lots of women are single probably forever as there's a marriageable male shortage

Not true. I know a lot of guys who get paid more than $22 per hour.

The median .house income here is $19 so that's two min wage incomes or house with only one working person making 19 and hour.
Australia a is wierd place where your welfare people get paid as much as our middle class.

And the job is just one of bunch requiremtns. They have to be athletic, handsome, have a car and their own place.

There's a lot of women who've been single for the past 10 years or so. They complain there's not any men to date. Boo hoo. :roll: sorry that I'm not a man apparently

Yep, and they're the one's who get the women - middle class guys seem to get middle class women.

Meanwhile, a lot of aspie men are left with the lower class women, who often seem to come from absolute low-life families and have been too affected by their family themselves.

Where are the regular, ordinary girls who are NEETs?

Where's the girl's with social anxiety/Agoraphobia (oh, wait...) who are NEETs but are otherwise nice people?

How come it seems even many Aspie females end up going to uni straight after high school and have part-time jobs and drive and live alone and are actually pretty high functioning?

Statistically are NEETs in the 17-20 age range really that rare and hard to come across?

FFS even this girl I'm friends with who dropped out of our high school is studying for RSA and to work in Retail at TAFE before she wants to earn her points to get her High School Certificate.

Everyone seems to be doing more with their life than me, male, female, whatever and the few I meet in the same position as me are aggressive, have a variety of mental disorders such as sociopathy, BPD, severe OCD, self-harmer, suicidal, and extremely negative people with negative view of the world, have succumb to substance abuse, etc.

Why does life always feel so extreme for me?

My personality is balanced and diverse and everyone I meet falls onto one extreme or the other.

I am a comfortable halfway point between 'normal healthy middle class person' and 'lower class low-life ghetto bogan poverty criminal' types and yet people I meet only ever fall into the two extremes.

Is the whole absolutely low life women thing a Austrian thing? I've never seen or meet any.

Poor women date middle class guys, middle class women date upper middle class guys. Upper middle class women complain about a lack of guys.

From dating sites it seems all women are super successful and traveling all over the world, while rock climbing, jet skiing, or muddling.
I haven't seen any poor women who just like stating home most nights and is ok dating poor men
