Single women in this thread, you said wanted someone reasonably successful. What does that mean? Ags4dqwin used 70k/year. Is that what you think or are you looking for someone making 2x that? 3x that? I'm just curious what your salary floor is.

---

$70k is probably a good floor. I certainly don't need someone supporting me, but I expect them to have their financial house in order as I have mine in order. To me this means able to pay your basic bills, save for retirement/emergencies, have a little fun money. I am quite independent and will go on vacation wherever alone if no one can afford to go where I want, but I generally travel extremely cheap and stay in hostels and get around on the cheap. I prefer to camp and backpack. So really whatever salary you can get by on with your bills paid and a bit saved for the future, most can afford my "extras"

---

You'd be fine with a guy making $70k? How much do you make? You live in Colorado, correct? 70k doesn't go far there. It's like Austin.

Are you okay with $70k because you're loaded?

$70k doesn't go anywhere unless it's supplemental income. Sure you can make way less but you're probably a demographic not on this board.

To answer the question floated above - I would think women looking for men in their 30s would expect $200k+ to shut their traps. Depending on trashiness level, "six figures" may be enough to keep them quiet.

Anyway for purposes of this thread I'm assuming women would want a guy to be making $200k+. That's purchasing power to buy a house and give them what they want.

If I'm wrong let hear it.

---

I make a good salary and have a house in Tx and Co and split my time between the two. I certainly find joy in the simple things vs having luxury vacations.

---

"Split your time"? What do you do?

Did you invent the bidet or something? Settlement from a former nfl husband? That's nuts at 34 but I'm all ears jokes aside.

I'm an engineer that's moved up the management track as I have social skills. I can work remote for chunks at a time and choose to do so from Colorado.

---

Good for you. Having gone to A&M, I obviously know tons of engineers around our age range (I'm 30) and none are "splitting their time" between residences, unless they came from a very wealthy family where they had access to these things before their career.

So either you inherited a bunch of money, in which case good on you - no salt off my back. Or, you invented something extremely valuable and are playing coy.

It's possible to live that kind of lifestyle if you've made it up the ranks at a company. BUT doing that at 34 is pretty rare and to have two homes, one being in CO would probably require a large salary that only a top company could offer. And those top companies usually don't have execs at 34. So unless each house is a 200k house, something doesn't add up.

You're throwing out $200k as a minimum desired salary and don't think a single 34 year old can afford two residences?

---

Good lord. A single engineer is not, from my experience, making enough by 34 to do that what with student loans and the like.

Obviously every situation is different but come on. My engineering friends entered the field at like $60k with a bachelors, $85k with a masters. Some many years later are doing quite well - 180-225k range at a firm with their PE license or whatever.

Did you know that with a little sweat equity you can turn a busted house into a house you love? It just happens slowly over time as you can afford it.

I worked through college and had scholarships and paid internships so my debt was very minimal

Please enjoy your priorities as much as I enjoy mine.

---

That's awesome for you. Not discounting that. But your experience is an outlier at best and not representative of most folks in our age range. Sounds like you struck gold - awesome and congrats.

You guys are so intimidated by a 34 year-old single woman that lives modestly and puts her money into real estate and whatever else works for her.

No wonder there are so many single guys here that "just can't find a woman". You wouldn't be able to handle one that isn't a mail order bride.

I don't know what to tell you. I took a risk and stretched myself young and it paid off well. I refinanced everything during the rona lows and am lucky. I probably wouldn't have taken those risks if I knew I had kids and daycare and college coming up in the future. I created the life I want and it could've gone wrong, but it didn't. Both houses will be paid off in less than 15 years.
