There are too few men who have the attributes that I consider necessary for permanent liason for me to narrow the field even more with silly monetary or class requirements. A man doesn't have to make a lot of money to be loving, intelligent, supportive, funny, self-sufficient, and creative. In fact, if a man's swallowed the "success, money and prestige" line, he's probably so caught up in "men should be" and "women should be" that he'd stifle us both very quickly.
