Their income is never going to matter to me. I don't like people just because they have money or stuff. It's not like they are going to support me with it and if they did I'd feel trapped because I'd have to stay with them or be destitute. I've never been supported by a man and am not interested in starting that.

Socioeonomic status seems very important, from what I get, women would like to partner with someone of the same socioeconomic status or higher but lower seems unlikely or very few.

Then again, blunnet, I DO see a lot of women around here with deadbeats.....I at least have a job and pay my bills. :)

Its sounds like they surveyed the real life versions of the women in that show, Desperate Housewives?

No, we just don't want a man-child to have to take care of.

Being wealthy isn't a necessity for most women. But being able to TAKE CARE of yourself is very important.

Make enough money to pay your own bills (even if you live with roomates or in a tiny apartment), have your own transportation or money to pay for public transit, and buy your own foods (and know how to feed yourself).

Basically, show a little independence and self-care. I don't care how much a guy makes as long as he's not begging me for money all of the time.

I'd say the second category is probably the most attainable for younger aspies. Take care of yourself and learn to be good in bed, and have goals. It's certainly much more attainable than the first category, i.e. being "social" and having hobbies that normal people have.

Then the later categories are even more attainable. Makes sense why most of us start dating late. That first category for 18-24 yo women is f'ed up.
