It is interesting to me, as a high-income female, how uncomfortable and tricky it is to have relationships with men who earn less than me (which is most men I know).

Probably depends on the circles you run in. Geography may play a part as well. As i allude to upthread, ive noticed that the East coast and midwest, to me, seem more rigid in terms of those sorts of "rules".
