One interesting conclusion of the study below is that it doesn't really seem to matter if one makes $1 per year or $20k per year in the dating scene. All those men have it hard. The main differences in mating success vis-a-vis money emerge in the 50k-100k range. | One interesting conclusion of the study below is that it doesn't really seem to matter if one makes $1 per year or $20k per year in the dating scene.

A US longitudinal study found that the low income men were the most likely childless, while there existed a positive association between greater income in men and the likelihood of having children. Personal income was however, negatively associated with the number of offspring for women, likely (in part) due to women's desire for economically [[hypergamy|hypergamous]] relationships.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513814001330</ref> The authors of the study concluded: "If female (and not male) choice determines who fathers children, then it appears that women in the U.S., as do women in other countries, are more likely to choose higher income men as the fathers of their children." | A US longitudinal study found that the low income men were the most likely childless, while there existed a positive association between greater income in men and the likelihood of having children.
