With poll coming. I'm just curious, because I don't.

That's not the point....... Of course I'll care, because in that case, it'll be a reflection of his character anyway (well most of the time. If it's not, I won't care)Why don't you care? What if he's a great guy but has just filed for bankruptcy since he can't pay his bills and only makes enough to support himself and not pay for food/entertainment on dates? Like he can't even afford to rent a movie to watch on a Friday night?
As long as he can pay bills then that's fine with me, if he can't pay his own bills then he needs to make a budget and look at how he spends his pay cheque
But do I care more for a guy who owns a nice house and a flashy car than for one who has a less lucrative activity, but who displays equal personal qualities? No, not one bit.
I'm relieved all the answers so far ar confirming my feelings... I really do get the impression that this whole money business is a male fantasy. I hope that if the poll is conclusive enough the good on cf will be encouraged by it.Nope. It is important to me that he works to support his family and that he/we are able to pay our bills and I do enjoy traveling so I'd like to be able to a nice vacation every couple of years but it doesn't matter to me if he's a heart surgeon or a garbage man...we will adjust our lifestyle according to the level of our income.
Luther - how does living at home enter this picture? And having ambition is a totally different thing than actually DOING something with that ambition.I'm afraid it goes further then that though. I have very much been under the impression that if a guy lives at home, even if he has ambition he is not likely to get many dates. Especially if the girl lives on her own, thats why I really just avoid girls that live on their own.
I'm sorry what women say and what they do I think are two different things.

I would have a problem with a guy that has ambition up the wahzoo and sits on his butt and does nothing about it. If you live at home because you can't afford to live on your own then you need to work hard at finding another job that gives you the ability to live on your own or adjust the type of place you want to live in - rent a one bedroom or a studio instead of a 2 bedroom or whatever.
Just because a guy has ambition doesn't necessarily mean he takes action on that ambition.
JMHO
Luther - you're misinterpreting what I am saying. You are trying to get your masters! That to me is great and I wouldn't have a problem at all dating a guy who was furthering his education. What I was trying to say is that if a guy "talks" about having ambition but isn't actually "doing" anything to accomplish his goals - that's what I would have a problem with.Why do you think I'm trying to get into school to get a masters in accounting. My BSBA hasn't done me any good thus far.
But you are communicating what I'm saying. Women expect results which translates into a good job and a minimum level of income.
You do want a minimum level of income. For me, I would like to see her work, mostly to know she isn't lazy. I don't care where she works, McDonald's it doesn't really matter.
But no adult woman is dating the McDonalds employee of the month. Even if he does work from open til close 6 days a week.
And I really hate it when men assume they know better what a woman is thinking even after she and countless others have stated the opposite.So how many women here can honestly say they would go out with an adult guy that works at McDonalds?
I really hate it when women play innocent on this issue.
honestly i wouldn't care if he worked at mcdonalds. I've worked customer service/retail/etc... jobs since i was 17 and i know there's no shame in that line of work. If it puts money in his pocket, it pays his bills, who cares?So how many women here can honestly say they would go out with an adult guy that works at McDonalds?
I really hate it when women play innocent on this issue.
