Would You Date a Man Who Earns Less Than You?

Problem/Goal: I’m unsure if I should date a guy who earns less than me.

Context: I [F26] earn 60K PHP/month (after tax). I previously dated a man who earned 20K, and I ended up paying for most things (90/10 split). He also gambled his money, which made me lose respect for him. After that, I decided I only want to date men who earn as much as me or more.

Previous attempts: I’ve tried dating without considering finances, but it led to me feeling like a provider rather than a partner. I don’t want to end up in the same situation again, but I also wonder if I’m being too strict with my standards.

EDIT:

Thank you, everyone, for your insights. I’ve decided to look for a man who matches my values—earns as much as I do, is financially responsible, goal-oriented, a provider, and vice-free. My standards might be high, but that’s the kind of person I am, so I’d rather stay single than settle for less.

EDIT AGAIN:

This post was a question for women, but the comment section got flooded with broke and bitter men. It’s always the ones with empty wallets who are the loudest—maybe they’re just hungry or something, idk.
