To ask where you meet professional men?

[InsideMyBed]

To people that have professional dh with high earning careers (over 100k salary ).

Where did you meet them and how did you get together?

Wondering because apart from consultant doctors and dentists that I interact with in clinical settings only, I don’t think I ever come across men who earn over 100k salary.

I feel like most people I know earn £18,000 - £55,000 at the most. I’m sure a few might be on £60k but £100,000 a year . That seems like so much money to me. I’m a university graduate and most jobs in my industry pay between £25,000 - £35,000 a year.

Where do you meet men who earn over £100k a year? Apart from doctors, dentists and barristers. I’m a bit jealous I will admit because these are the kinds of men I don’t even have access to much less share my life with one!

Just to clarify I didn't marry him for his earning potential - I thought/think he's funny (well I like his terrible sense of humour) and we get on well (he's my best friend)

*doesn’t last

At work or online or doing social things.

If you don’t meet them naturally it’s going to have to be online or you have to take up a hobby, and possibly move somewhere better off.

What’s the AIBU question?

If this isn’t a wind up then you are the kind of woman that gives us all a bad name!

But to answer your question most men will pay just about anything for pu$$y, theyll tear your children’s lives apart for a rumble. If we have that much power i suggest young girl’s make the most of it, it does last.

If you can bring yourself to shag someone who is willing to pay for it, knock yourself out @Jessie75.

I'd rather make money with my brain than my vagina.

Yeah course you would 😉

Most people I work with and in my social circle earn "higher" incomes. Not all (e.g. support staff in my department, admin) but roles are a mix of: technical/engineering, technology, that sort of new professional role. You don't have to be very senior or manage people to be making £50-60k a year in these roles, most of my team do. Also a few business owners e.g. owner of a cleaning company shouldn't be described as a cleaner really - that's silly. Or traditional professional job like senior education role, accountancy etc.

Most couples I know either met during or shortly after uni e.g. in their first grad jobs. OR the wife is a stay at home wife with zero financial independence of her own. We fit into the former. But I genuinely cannot think of the higher earners that I know who did anything other than those 2 fairly blunt categories.

As an high earner myself we want someone down to earth...not you

I met mine online dating. He spent his younger years socially awkward and overlooked by women, then turned into a social butterfly in his mid twenties.

I met him when he was earning around 60k working in IT. 10 years later, and next year, he'll be earning over £250k.

His friends from school were in a similar position - all smart, respectful, geeky but not conventionally attractive. And all now snapped up - happily married with kids and comfortable lifestyles.

“. OR the wife is a stay at home wife with zero financial independence of her own”

How do you know they have no financial independence? Quite possibly they are in better financial standing than you!

As a single mother with next to nothing, I fell in love with an intelligent, kind person I met online who had just divorced, business was bad and he didn't have much either.

He just shone out from the rest, I respected his intellect, charisma and kindness. 15 years on he now earns 10x that figure. Is that luck? I went for someone bright so maybe not!

I met my husband at work. We're both in Finance and I was on more money than him at the time. Not £100K but a good salary. He's been promoted a couple of times since we've been together. I fell for him because he's thoughtful, attractive and makes me laugh. The fact he earns a very high wage now is a bonus.

I am the high earner in DH and my relationship. I have always wanted to be with him rather than needed to be with him. He certainly was t looking for a meal ticket and is far more sensible with money than me.
We married for love and friendship which has sustained our relationship for nearly 30 yrs.

Many responses assume the OP is indifferent to true love and compatability. Those requirements may be equally if not more important to them.

However, I can't help but think this thread is a little tongue in cheek.

Many responses assume the OP is indifferent to true love and compatability.

A reasonable assumption given that the title and text of the OP focus on finding a man who earns a lot. Gold-digging, much?

Mary Wollstonecraft compared this attitude to marriage with prostitution in her wonderful feminist essay of 1792 - she wasn’t far wrong, even 200 years later.
