Estabilished Vs. Potential

A friend of mine and myself were debating about woman and their dating habits. One stance was that, all things(sense of humor physical attraction chemistry) being relatively equal a woman will go for an established man(job house done with school etc.) rather than one who is still making his way up(still in school and or young in their career). And the other position was to the contrary that woman place less on those factors when deciding who to date(and/or take seriously). What do you ladies think?

 

It is always dependant on the person. All things can't be equal between two people, and their position in life is never a deterrent when the remainder of the person is great. I am entirely self sufficient, so do not require a partner to support me in any way. What is more important is that they do have some kind of ambition and are heading somewhere. Where they are on that path is not important, only that they're travelling it.

What do the boys think about the same question regarding ladies. Do you prefer a lady to have herself sorted out?

 

Its a regional and class issue in my opinion. If youre dating in an area where graduate degress are the norm, women will expect more. Especially considering what it takes in that particular area to maintain a desired standard of living. While in many working class towns, a hard working 9 to 5er will do just fine. Its my experience that in areas where the workforce is blue collar, more focus is placed on a man's character and work ethic and less on his earning portential.

As for established vs up and coming...I really dont see the difference where I live. A young man attending one of the universities around here is just as valued as someone who is established. Many times moreso the student because of earning potential.

 

It's also an age/stage of life issue.

 

That is different for each and every woman out there.It doesn't just only depend on her age/stage or maturity level but also on her mentality in general.
