Would this be a problem?

Let's say there's a beautiful, successful women who's college educated and regularly hangs out around a lot of people. Her boyfriend is a high school dropout, makes less, and doesn't hang around a lot of people.

Men say that their wives or girlfriend income doesn't matter but if she's more outgoing and successful, wouldnt some men have a problem with that due to insecurity? It might hurt his ego and during a fight I'm pretty sure the first thing she's going to bring up is I'm better/smarter/ make more than you.
Anyway, tell me what you think

That's what happens when we continue to live our life according to stereotypes and gender roles. We end up believing them and we can't take a rest mentally. Also any decent educated person would not say something like that to someone they supposedly love. If you don't admire someone and think less of them, how can you be with him?

The biggest question is their compatibility and if he and her have intelligent conversation because that is where the issues usually start and finish

The premise seems a bit far-fetched, but assuming this relationship has favour among the two people, it shouldn't be much of a problem. I think this kind of male insecurity is more myth than reality and more past generational (based on cultural norms of the time) than current generation.

I intend to be more successful than my wife, but if by some twist of fate it didn't turn out that way it would not phase me a bit. I would be supportive and enthusiastic for her. You see, in a marriage, both people are in it for each other along with God, of course.

It's doomed from "Jump," he'll be mistreated, looked down upon by her friends, she eventually will feel taken advantage of, her friends will poison their relationship. It will not last. He doesn't stand a chance. His reclusiveness will result in him feeling left out, he'll suspect her cheating, she will eventually cheat.

{@woofwoof15] if she is smarter clever and more intellectually clever than you well it is a fact so why be upset by that . everyone has there level of intelligence
It never bothered me. Pretty much every woman Ive been with was making more money than I.

It only becomes an issue if the people involved believe it is an issue.
It’s their business not mine
