Because financial incompatibility is such a leading cause of divorce/splits, I’d say this is the way to go. There should be no broke people dating rich people. Broke people should date broke people and rich people should date rich people.

No, but people should definitely only date people who’s minds are as open as theirs.
Agreed but that already happens; high achievers date and marry high achievers. Low achievers don’t get married.
It sounds like you have established a boundary for yourself, and that is completely fine. Not everyone has the same one.
Nah , it won’t work .
Unpopular for sure, way to go
I would love for you to give me a specific reason why.
Keep those classes separate folks. We wouldn’t want anyone mingling with “the poors”
I was homeless when I met my financially stable husband who helped me learn how to be financially stable. I now have a credit score over 800. I have worked full-time our entire marriage.
Just say you hate poor people next time…
No date to who you like and are attracted to. I’m a republican and married a Democrat. A d i make substantially more money then her. But you know what she’s the best person I’ve ever met and wouldn’t trade her for anyone

“Because financial incompatibility is such a leading cause of divorce/splits”
Based on what proof? The proof that you just made up?
A) bold of you to assume that “financial incompatibility” only means “one person is richer than the other”
B) what do you do with your worldview when your wife picks up a business that earns her 5x the money you’re making?
Were those people “financially incompatible” before marriage or something happened during the marriage that changed things?
Because the vast majority of people get married to someone in the same socioeconomic class
Yes,let’s keep those classes nice, pure and distinct, could only be good for the world.
Obvious troll. Nobody is this stupid.
Thats such an american thing to say
lol this mfer thinks people should date like job hunting. unpopular af. take my upvote.
Well that sure is unpopular.
But you are also wrong. Because what actually matters is the values people have around money, not how much money they have.
Poor people can be frugal, so can rich people.
I think that has a much higher impact than the amount of money itself.
People should date who they fall in love with and who consents to being with them and the rest of world can go fuck itself with their input.
What are you on the titanic? Lmao
I kinda agree. I’m 54 and fairly financially stable but was dating a 46 year old who had a good job but little to no savings/retirement. I ended up paying for a lot of stuff for “us” and that got pretty old.
Where’s the data to say “financial incompatibility is one of the leading factors of divorce”??
I think more accurately, people with the same financial values should date one another. a rich person who doesn’t have good money management skills will end up spending it all. A poor person with discipline and drive to accumulate and manager his money prudently will end up rich in the future. People with similar positive values should find each other and encourage one another in their financial journey
One of the leading things for divorce is people not dating people for long enough to know if they are truly compatible. You should rent snd go on holidays with your other half to see how you handle life situations and not dates.
King Louis?! Is that you?! Why we all thought you were dead, sire!
pfff.
Leading cause of divorce is people getting married to people they shouldn’t have married in the first place.
What if you start that way and one of you gets rich?
If I followed this opinion, I would not be in a happy marriage with my wife who came from a background that was FAR poorer than me
This presumes everyone puts the exact same stress (which you would say is a LOT) on that specific issue, which is just objectively false.
I’m going to wind up marrying a public school teacher, and while I’m not typing this from my own yacht, I’m doing pretty well for myself, and money has quite literally never once been a problem.
Are you going to show a shred of evidence for economic incompatibility (whatever the hell that means) being a leading cause for divorces?
Your relationship rules are like my penis. I think my penis is the best penis in the world. But, very few people want to see it, so, I keep it to myself and share it only when asked for it. Treat your relationship rules the same.
Your opinion is taboo to vocalize but not really unpopular.
I am quite rich, why should I care to date someone who is also rich?
Financial incompatibility means ‘one person is a shopaholic who spends recklessly and doesn’t want to save and the other is frugal and wants to invest heavily and retire early.’ Not ‘one person currently has money and the other doesn’t’
