Would you consider a relationship with a woman who makes more money than you?

A woman's able to leech off a man using manipulation, not poverty, so her having more money doesn't mean she has less manipulation in store.

No: money isn't enough to secure me from women's bullshit. Only my freedom can do that & that means no relationships.

ask this question in /r/asktrp and they should give you a good answer.

It's an attractive prospect, sure, but rarely feasible.

On one hand this is probably the safest relationship you could be in, in event that it ends in divorce since she makes more than you, the courts are less likely to award her any kind of alimony, but on the other hand it is probably the least likely scenario you will find yourself in given that if she is making more than you, she will likely not see you as worth her time...so probably not in the end.

I wouldn't accept her money for anything, I believe everyone should pay 100% for their shit nothing more nothing less

I'd say if that was the case, the risk of being shafted would be substantially less. Must be nice not worrying about losing half your shit or paying alimony. In addition, since she makes more, she'd be much more willing to sign a prenup which would protect you as much as her. She'd probably still get the kids if there was a divorce (unless she's one of those workaholic types) but I'd say that reduces the maximum amount of damage that can be done by like 75%.

Much better odds in my opinion, the only reason it is not discussed as much is because that set-up is quite a rarity since women always manage to make less than a man even with 10 fucking post-graduate degrees (usually because they pick those useless good-for-nothing shitty college majors that make them feeeeel good).

Why would I need her "money"? (IMO part of MGTOW is to learn how to be "content" with "enough" rather than always grasping for more... which generally never satisfies anyway.)
It would still be a "dependent/subservient" relationship -- one where she was still in control and could "cut off your balls" (and switch to some other dude) in an even easier fashion.
I can understand why some very YOUNG guy (and/or POOR guy with little confidence or experience... but I repeat myself) might think that this would be some "ideal" situation, but unless he is basically willing to become a "toy-boy/gigolo" (which is really just emulating a "chick" seeking a "sugar daddy" -- and that is generally a risky and temporary, time-limited thing)... well, IMO it's not really a wise life-path for anyone with self-respect (not all that different from living in Mommy's basement).
Most women don't want this -- even when they ARE high-income, they invariably seek some HIGHER income, HIGHER status male (they might flirt with, and even fuck around with the proverbial "pool boy", but in general, they aren't going to marry him, and risk losing half their shit to him).
About the only VIABLE path to something like this that I have EVER seen work out (and then generally only for a decade or two, and not always with a happy ending) -- is if her money is "inherited" -- and her daddy is the rich one, who has NO son of his own, and thus is looking for a "son/heir" to "adopt" into and take over the family business via his daughter. (That actually used to be pretty common, even to the extent of "formal adoption" and the son-in-law taking on the family name -- still is that way in some societies {Japan} -- but in the west it generally no longer happens that way.)

It wouldn't have any effect on me as I don't seek a relationship.
