This is purely anecdotal but im sure there are stats on this, so please link them if you have any.

Woman who are high earners or who come from a wealthy family, almost exclusively go for men who are high earners or who come from a wealthy family.

-growing up I went to school with people who are from wealthy families, both grade school as well as university, I honestly cant think of a single woman who has "dated down" when it comes to finances, their partner either comes from wealth or is a high earner. alot of the men dont date down when it comes to finances, but I know a decent chunk who have, its much more common than the woman dating down economically.

-In the corporate world etc, this is extremely apparent too, the high earning woman I know almost exclusively go for men who make just as much, if not more than them. This doesnt work out well for the less attractive ones & masculine ones, but for the hot woman it works out well. Alot of girls will indirectly ask, I have had woman be interested in some. of my friends and they will ask me how much money he makes, and woman have asked my friends how much money I make. also just conversations I have overheard in the office and amongst coworkers, the woman are always attempting to gauge mens finances, and if a girl went on a date with a new guy, among the first questions they ask is about how wealthy the man is. These are all woman who make 6 figures +

-I am a decently high earner. I am not flashy with my wealth, and am more of a minimalist. However, I occasionally have woman hitting me up on linkedin looking for dates because they have an idea of how much money I make, and these are always high earning woman doing this. I also have tried flexing money on dating apps just to see what happens, the results are what you expect. One time I was in another city for work, my friend offered to lend me his car for the week, the car was a bentley, during the week I had it, two different girls approached me and asked for my phone number, upon talking to them further, one was very high up at a tech company, and the other owned her own clothing company (again, high earning woman).

-I know a couple of guys who are also high earners but who arent the best looking guys, they use sugar dating sites to meet woman sometimes. From what they have told me, most of the girls on those sites are university students, however, theres also a decent number of high earning girls who use them to date other rich guys, they have told me they have met with girls who are lawyers, doctors, surgeons, business owners etc off this sites.

-High earning woman are also better at spotting signs of actual wealth, as opposed to guys flexing. They arent tricked by guys wearing designer clothes etc, they look for signs of actual wealth. One girl was telling me that one of the ways she gauges a guys wealth on dates is by seeing what credit cards the guy uses, since there are ones only available to people with very good credit and of a certain net worth.

This is all anecdotal, I know not every wealthy girl is a gold digger but what do you guys think? do you think wealthier woman are just as likely if not more likely to be gold diggers than lower to middle class woman?
