here's the thing: they will make 50% less than you forever. so that takes away the possibility of a come up on their part.

would you do it? they got all the other things you require in a person. they just make less than you.

this post was inspired by a 70+ degree day in Baltimore.

i'm walking through the city during lunch just soaking it all in. there's a call center for the local gas & electric company nearby. i overhear a chick that works there telling her friend that she got rid of her last boyfriend cuz he worked in a local warehouse and ain't make no money. i did the probable math since i know both entry level warehouse workers and call center workers. i figure he make 50% less than she did.

she couldnt deal with it so she dipped.

i made alot of assumptions. i assumed when she said "girl he work at under armour" she meant the warehouse. and i assumed she was a call center chick based on her badge, where she was, and the way she looked.

ego? dumb?

prolly just dumb.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

don't let it be a normal thing, cause you feeling like a big ass kid.

and when yall go out to eat and the waiter slides the check to you, then you gotta slide the check to her - tough stuff.

money gives some men confidence.

Also, why are you taking her to expensive ass restaurants if you can't afford it?

If she choosing Phillipe and know you got wingstop money and taste, she should be planning on paying.

your shit on 'E' and you gotta cop to the fact that you aint even got that likkle bit of change to buy that xyz.

so you gotta ask. or make up some other lie?

nice ass restaurants?

she makes good money, so she gonna go to nice restaurants.

and if you're her man, you're going with her.

and when that check come, you're about to play yourself.

...

i used to do a thing where i would have the lady handle all my cards at the point of sale. I'd slide my wallet to her when we get out the car or sometime earlier in the day.

i make more money, so when we go out, I'm paying - but sliding the card to her so she can swipe it makes me feel extra boss - like, im way too cool and boss to be concerned with swiping my own bank card. pshht.

but then i be wondering do people think the money coming out of her pocket?

you know what? it really doesn't matter.

and she is aware of your financial situation, the problem is with her.

Same with the restaurants.

I'm not sure if thats the type of thing noican'tdance was referring to.

all the discomfort surrounding all these situations when being broke slapped him in the face.

A nigga should be happy as hell he bout to come up, with an occasional she used to xyz i really wish i could do that for her... but he can make up for that with creativity, in the bedroom, and listening more lol


But on the flip, the female has to have an understanding of his situation and be sure she's being considerate and understanding of his circumstance. And understand the difference between being cheap and not being able to afford something.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

there is an ego level to it

but

its tough because everything is cash based

money cant buy happiness but it will ease the pressure in a TON of ways

when I was a dumb broke I used to trip out and think to myself....."what can I offer this woman?"

Hell, I dated a woman that had money when I was....25. She could go travel and eat out and just have fun...It got to the point to where I got tired of not being able to do cool stuff.

You know how shitty it is when your partner sees through your efforts as poor person and its not even a case of do-better, its just a case of....you dont have shit.

I tried to be a happy-go-lucky broke dude but its impossible.

Then, when talks of having a family or taking on bigger responsibilites come up its hard to stay sane because you know you cant do SHIT for them besides just being there


ugh.


I can write a book on the subject

this is why I'm all about making money, as much as people say "oh, money is not everything!"

it is. it is when you date a broke motherfucker

its all stress all the fucking time

would allow their ego to get in the way of what could be a very good thing.

But being broke is just a different convo imo. If you broke, you can't take of nobody so it don't matter what she making. If you struggling to make ends you gonna struggle to try to do anything else, including date.

I put in a minimum of 10-15 hrs of OT a week just to keep a $20 or two in my pocket back then. We were just fuck buddies, but a couple times a year she would fly out to Cancun for a week just to decompress. Every time she would invite me to come with her at my expense and every time I had to decline. For starters, I was a temp, so I had ZERO vacation time. Add to that the fact that I made barely $26K/yr with OT and there was no way I could afford to miss a week's wort of pay without setting myself back in a major way.

I missed out on a lot like that.

or reverse if she was 40K I wouldnt mind either

we keep it moving,

I've dated folks who earn less than and those who earn equal

the folks who earn equal or more tend to come with a weird chip on the the shoulder

a bit of "do you know who I am?"



but, not going to lie, it would be dope to date someone who earned as much as I do.

she wants more...i want more for her
she is working towards more
thats all that matters

how much she makes is whatbshe can contribute to the pot with me
our life is set by that pot
if one of us wants more we have to come up with details

for example
she wanted a new SUV a couple years ago
fine
me: how much you got for a down payment?
her: > <
me: ok ill match every dollar you have but you need > < to make the payments managable

two years later she got the SUV

What I notice is that there's generally four types of women.

Those who make more than you, and want you to make more than them.

Those who make more than you, and don't care if you make less, long as you're stable and never depending on her money.

Those who make less than you, and want you to make a WHOLE WHOLE WHOLE lot more than them, so that they can live in their fantasy world.

Those who make less than you, and are ok with what you make as long as you're stable/secure.

Surprisingly, in L.A., there's more women who make more and don't care that you make less than you would imagine...but there's a good number of those who make less than you, but still make you feel like you don't make enough. Most women who make more will of course want you to have aspirations of making a lot eventually, but they aren't stressing, long as you aren't stressing them out.

I don't mind women who make less if they're grounded and have goals. But when I meet those who really want a free ride, hoping I can be the one to pay for their elaborate vacations n shit......nope.

from the strip club a month ago

these girls were calling Carolina Panthers football players broke niggas cause they wouldn't spend money on them and some of them were base salary. "They only make 400K"

mind you these girls were broke as fuck...

then another girl told me when she worked at a bank a player came in with his bonus and the bank manager (Black woman) laughed and said "that's rookie money, pfft"

crazy how some people can scoff at hundreds of thousands of dollars when they make a fraction of that.

last month at a bowling alley. My best friend's close homegirl rolls with this type crew, and she's the "best" in the crew as far as not being superficial like them.

First up...we said two of the girls had on diapers because they had outrageously fat asses on small frames, to where it wasn't even attractive. But man, they really only date ball players and dope boys...and they had that straight ATL Housewives look, not even like "model chick" fine but just like hood girls who got the fake asses, hella makeup and long weaves.

When I tell you they didn't interact with me at ALL? Like, didn't speak to me the entire time??? The one or two who were introduced to me just said "hi" and that's it? While playing bowling??? Which is some laid back, fun shit?

One chick in the crew is a wash, too. She got pregnant by a NBA player before he started playing...this dude literally played five games for the Lakers and scored 8 total points (yeah, I Basketball referenced cuzz). Then, she got pregnant by ______ ______, made it to TMZ because he was engaged and denied it...then she had the baby...got it tested...and OOPS, it's not even his! Ended up being from a random hoodlum she fucked around with. So she lost twice.

Luckily, I'm never around these types, so I don't get tainted or feeling like "all these girls here are gold diggers" like some guys will say. But man, I just hated the two hours I was with them.

they wouldn't smash even though they never had the option. "Naw Rihanna's forehead to big" type ninjas.

They do have a window where they might be able to put their claws into a baller but most don't and then they are done.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

do still fuck certain baller types...just that they don't always get the "prize" they want. Or...some of them do get plenty gifts, the purses and all else. One chick in the same crew has fucked 3-4 legit celebs, and in return, got Louis bags n shit like that. But never anything long term.

The window for this crew is about done, though...they're all right around 30. They primed harder around 23-25, but I think they're seen as being burnt out in that scene now.

To be perfectly honest, I do wish she made more and had a more substantial job. She does too, but struggles with finding a career path that she wants. Her parents are well off, so she's never really at risk of being broke broke. She doesn't expect me to buy her shit or pay for everything because I make more, but I do pay more in rent. It's not a deal breaker, we've been together for 5 years.

So, 50%? Shit, that would be amazing.

and considering I live well below my means I've found plenty of people who make a significant amount less than me yet spent money like they make as much or more.

now, if I make X and she makes X/2, yet expects to now be able to live like she makes X because I do, she's got another thing coming.

As long as they have a career & are financial independent, IDGAF.
