It really depends on the company you work for. I worked for a financial company where the men for paid more because they where more aggressive about negotiating and asking for raises
my sister wont date a guy unless hes making 250k a year. He has to be at least 6'2 and VERY christian. She's 35 and hasn't been able to keep a relationship in a long time. A quote I often hear is "Why would I compromise my standards.".
