Russians told about their attitude to the partner's income

The majority of Russians surveyed (64%) expressed the opinion that a man should earn more. At the same time, the largest proportion of the stronger sex (35%) believes that the main thing is the overall budget, and it is not so important who earns more. This is stated in the results of a study of the Mamba dating service, which were reviewed by Izvestia on March 28.

At the same time, 34% of male respondents are not against their companion bringing more money home, only 13% share this position among ladies.

Every second man (51%) would even feel proud of a high-income partner. While 37% said they didn't care at all. And only 10% admitted that they would feel awkward.

Women are more likely to be embarrassed by financial superiority - the vast majority (76%) have already had a relationship where their salary exceeded a man's income, and almost half (47%) felt uncomfortable in such a situation. Only a third (29%) did not experience any problems in this regard.

"Having learned at the early stages of dating about a girl's higher earnings, the vast majority of men (88%) will continue to communicate as if nothing had happened. The ladies turned out to be more demanding: after learning about a man's lower earnings, 62% are ready to give a chance to a relationship if the gentleman is able to take care of him beautifully, and a quarter immediately puts an end to an affair with a less well—off partner," the study says.

On the issue of financial investments, 79% of Russians insist that a man should pay, even if he has less money. The opinions of men are equally divided: 46% support this approach and the same number advocate equal participation in expenses.

"If a lady earns more, more than half (66%) of men consider it fair to help her with household chores. However, one third are sure that the salary should not affect who does the dishes and vacuums. Women think in a similar way: 61% expect help around the house from a partner with a lower income, and 39% do not associate household chores with finances," the experts noted.

Earlier, on February 12, it was reported that 48% of Russians surveyed were ready to take on financial support for their families, regardless of the income of the other half. This is stated in the results of the study of the service "Work.ru". At the same time, 4% are ready to break off the relationship if their partner earns 10% less.
