Being an African man I strongly believe this actually matters. Here is why;

We all measure other people's value in relation to us. Those people we find more "valuable" automatically become attractive to us. This "value" thing is simply a measure of the number of people you influence? The more money you got or the more money you earn reflects your value in society which came as a result of the people you influence. So in my opinion it matters

What do you think? What are your views?

I cannot be held ransom for achieving a higher educational status and accompanying career. Society is the one that has problems with my socio-economic status in my relationship not us. It depends on the woman and her attitude in some relationships some women do make it a point of reminding the man that they earn more than him.

You cannot have two cockerels on a farm , it's evident two cannot lead at once. You compliment each other his ego and your ego cannot be on a collision course. The views of society and cultural points of view will affect your relationship if you allow them to. There were African Queens in existence they had consorts how did they manage? Not all men have the mindset to be in a relationship where the scales are not tipped in their favour being in control and achieving "desired" status is more important to them accepting that you can be a husband, lover , father and be respected while being a supporting husband. Maybe there is some truth when it comes to successful black women marrying non black men.

To some men it does and makes them feel quite insecure.

It shouldn't but ...
Mankind's ego
Mankind's lust for easy money.

Could eventual create problems.

Ok Ladies...I see the general consensus here is it shouldn't matter. So explain this to me...

Why do women fall head over heels for the following classes of men?

1- Rockstars /Music Celebrities

2- Politicians

3- 21st century Prophets

If you put these three classes under a microscope you will find something very common. They are making more and influencing more people than 99.999% of women that are attracted to them. On the contrary women in these three classes are the loneliest of women
