Love comes in all shapes, colors and lifestyles I know...but can it REALLY cross the "collar lines?"

I asked an internet friend tonight if she could date someone poor and she asked how poor. Good question.
Then she asked...BUT...would HE date ME?
BETTER QUESTION.
When we broke it down she stated that she'd never be in a place to meet someone like that so it pretty much made it a question she couldn't fathom.
She pulled out the old...I need someone who is able to go "from the White House to the out house" cliche we've all heard before. Cool...fo sho. I undamastand. We there.
Monnie: ROBBY COULD YOU GO GET ME SUCH AND SUCH OUT THE OUT HOUSE PLEASE??????? Thanks!
Then she asked me the same question and we both laughed cuz she already knew the answer to that one. CreoleInDC is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cute to be poor.
Poor is in the eye of the beholder.
A man has the luxury, I believe, of being able to date a poor woman. Why? The man pretty much pays for everything anyway supposedly so it would never hinder the quality of life. Put a woman in that position....making waaaaaaaaay more money than her man...and the psychology surrounding the actual RELATIONSHIP changes DRASTICALLY which would hinder the quality of life.
In my opinion.
Monnie: Would you be comfortable if I made like three times more than you made?
Robby: Yup.
Monnie: Really?
Robby: If you made THREE times more than me...I'd be fine with it cuz then I wouldn't be working.
Monnie: *sigh*
What do YOU think? Do you think a woman can make way more in the relationship and it be a good, solid relationship? Do you think a man can still feel like he's the head of the household if he's not bringing home most of the bacon?
If this is your relationship...how does it work? Was it difficult to do? How did you guys get used to it? And how did you get used to the dynamics?
Is it really even an issue?
Holla atcha girl.
