Obviously this is a really niche question but I feel like it's far too inflammatory to ask irl and if you did there would be a very strong motive to lie about it. I'm 25, in the top 0.1% of wealth for my age and have a prestigious job (doctor) plus tall, fit and attractive. My home life wasn't awful but it was far below average with a single mum on bennies and an absent father.

Anyway I find myself only wanting to seriously date women who have achieved a similar amount or are at least exceptional in some way. If they aren't I'm happy to be friends with or fuck them but I don't consider themselves suitable for a serious LTR and make this very clear phrased as not looking for anything serious etc. I often find myself developing feelings for them and honestly it can be really fucking painful at times living like this but I feel like in the long term this is the right move.

I'm just wondering what older successful people think about living like this? It isn't PC to say but I struggle to understand why you wouldn't just pick an absolute winner to be with long term for financial reasons especially as you get older and the possibility of kids arises.

I am around your same age and I agree with you. Dated a working class woman and she was horrible and cheated on me while lying about getting her life together. Marriage should happen between two similar people.

You should date people who have a similar trajectory to you. Saving a poor girl sounds romantic to the poor girl, but it isn't for the man. Not only that, but those girls often get a big head and turn into Karens because they think "We're rich" instead of "my man is rich." I know a few women in their 40s like that, and it embarrasses their husbands a lot. I'm not saying it can't work, but for the most part, if you want to be with someone like this, then you should push them to succeed on their own so that they do become your equal. You can date up or down one tax bracket, but no more.

I'm not rich rich, but parents are in the top 0.x% of earners in my country (approx $350k).
I dated a woman whose parents earned $50k between them.
She claimed not to mind but there were quite a few things that got to her. Her friends, also in similar situations to her, also didn't like it very much.

CEOs used to marry secretaries because they act more submissive and are happy with the status. While women on their level tend to be more troublesome, because they know their worth and aren't impressed by status. Idk what 4chin larper should do

if you were really upper class you wouldn't have to ask about any of this, you'd have your social circle and clubs where people of similar station in life are guaranteed to only meet each other and get set up with each other by other high class people

you're posting on 4chan and asking about dating. you have a great salary no doubt but you're not upper class

4chan is obviously a high class image board

Two similar people can still get divorced or cheat
