Title, pick the minimum acceptable level.

Women say they like guys with a "good job" or "comfortable salary", so what constitutes that?

Also, this is just for fun, so don't get mad and assume I'm just doing this to try and prove that women are shallow or something (srs).

Depends on the stage of life he is at.

20s- Well we all know people struggle at this age so not much is expected yet.
30s- Well at this stage, they should have found their feet in the corporate world
40s- Directors or Managers
50s- CE0s, General Managers
60s- Healthy pension with major investments and real estate scattered around the country.

Well I know guys in their 20's who are doing pretty well for themselves.

@ OP to be honest, someone who is hard working and I can see that they are is what does it for me [s]and I nor mean hard working at sweeping the streets at 35 years old. [/s]

If he's like, 30years + old and he did all he was meant to do academically etc, I would say a comfortable £30k (min acceptable) is fine. grin

What if i am a freelancer and i don't rely on monthly salary? which group would someone like that fall into? undecided
Re: What Do Women Consider An Acceptable/comfortable Salary For A Guy To Earn? by jaybee3(m): 2:35pm On Mar 15, 2010
Comfortable salary with reference to cost of living should be comfortable @ the 20-40K mark (Sagamite has already addressed this on another thread).
I would imagine a high chunk of the working population will fall into that salary range.
