Guys, does it make you insecure if a woman has or makes more money than you do?

Whether or not it bothers me is moot if it bothers her.

Does eH pay much attention to income in your experience?

I am not sure if I understand what you are asking. eHarmony used to have a blurb on the FAQs page, which I just looked for and did not find, about matching on income. While they don't specifically match on income some of the questions in the Questionnaire reflect on the income level that you and / or your match is.

Hope that helps.

I have never been asked what my income is nor have I ever asked a match what their income is. The only way any of my matches is going to read my bank statement is if they have Mrs. attached to my last name.

Income level tends to be fairly obvious. As a high wage earner female,most of my matches have been MDs, bankers, lawyers and others who you would expect to make a good living. Though I thought I read that income was not a consideration.

I have no problem with a woman of any income level.

Sometimes a high earner may be inflexible & "diva"-like (I cannot stand that word) & in that case I would likely be out.

Money has a purpose but I don't value it.

I will admit to having watched Sex & the City a few times & the attitudes of those women would be ones that I would not want to be around.

I value laid-back, realist personalities. If she has that as well as large sums of money then I am a happy camper.

I have never had any issues or felt lesser or any childish stuff like that when I have been involved witha woman who makes a good deal more than I do. If it does not bother her then why should I be concerned about this trivial issue.

Now if we are using the dollar sign to find a partner then something is very very wrong. Just my personal opinion
