I don’t know any men in real life that would turn down an opportunity to date a woman who makes more than them solely because of their income. But I do know women, and statistics bear this out, who refuse to date men who make less money than them. I believe this is because women don’t respect men who make less money than them.

The high earning women themselves are the ones who are refusing to consider lower earning men. And when they do occasionally date them and it doesn’t work out for whatever reason, they always talk about the income disparity instead of anything else that went wrong with the relationship.
