Having gone on a date with a woman you met on a dating app, you have since found out what she meant when she stated that she wants a match who is “financially stable” in her dating profile.

Initially, you thought it meant she was looking for a match who is responsible with money, with good to great credit, some savings in the bank, and lives within his means.

Since you met up with her on an in-person date, you have been enlightened about what she truly meant.

During conversation at the date, she inquired about your finances and gave you a strong impression that her idea of a “financially stable” guy is guy who is rich.

You aren’t rich.

You are worried that this is what women expect whenever they state that they are seeking a match who is “financially stable” on their dating profiles.

Alright, the truth is, for some women on dating apps, the words “financially stable” means that they want a guy who is rich.

Nonetheless, for most women, the hope is that the guy is more financially well-off than they are.

Thus, he doesn’t have to be rich, but the hope is that he does better than she does financially.

Now, if he so happens to be rich, that is a bonus.

Very few women on this planet would turn down an opportunity to partner up with a rich man, and there is nothing wrong with that.

It’s the equivalent of men wanting to partner up with a beautiful woman.

Men and women look for different conditions in qualifying a romantic partner.

However, in this case, most women want the man to be more financially well-off than they are.

At best, it would be great if he was rich.

But that would be like winning the lottery.

Therefore, on a realistic level, she is hoping that the match is financially better off than she is.

At minimum, she wants the guy to be financially responsible, adept at paying his bills.

Basically, there are three tiers to this.

On the highest tier, it would be a bonus if a match was rich, but that would be like winning the lottery, so, she isn’t hell-bent on this tier.

The middle tier is where she is realistically.

She is hoping that he is more financially well-off than she is.

Unless she is rich, which is unlikely, this entails that he earns more than she does.

The bottom tier is the bare minimum.

He is responsible with money and pays his bills.

It looks like you went out on a date with a woman who was on the highest tier in terms of her expectations of a “financially stable” guy.

Again, that isn’t the majority of women.

The majority of women are on the second tier.

Men and women look for different conditions in relationships.

On the surface level, men primarily look for a woman with good looks, and women look for a man with resources.

Everything else, such as love and bonding, comes after these conditions are met.

That is the reality of dating.
