No, it's just your typical double standard shit. If I asked the that, I'd be an asshole sexist pig. If they asked me that, they are just trying to figure out if I am a womanizer or 'inexperienced'. When they do it it's a 'good thing', when I do it, it's 'bad'.

And nobody is ever happy with the answer unless your number is basically the same as theirs. If your number is significantly different, than you are 'judging them'. Because what they are really asking, on a deeper level, is you to validate them and their life choices.

It's not any different with money either. You have to answer them with the number in their head they have pre-determined is 'correct' or you are not worthy of them, or you are going to steal/abuse them. This is regardless of their own financial status. I make a great salary and am happy with money. But I meet women who think I am going to to steal their money and force them to pay all my bills if I make like 10K less than they do, which is a trivial amount to both of us. But this 'fear' is almost always a projection of her desire to be the person who steals the money and has their bills paid for them, or some deep belief that any man who can't pay her bills for her is not a 'real man'. I meet so many women I am at the same financial level as who tell me I am too poor to date them... it's just hilarious to me at this point. They basically have to come up with a conspiracy theory to justify their greed that a man must make 2-3x their income to be 'good'. And in my dating bracket, that means a guy has to make like 500K salary, which is a top .5% salary. Hence the refrain 'there are no good men'. All the men who are moderate successful making 100-200K are 'losers' who are just going to financial use and abuse her, or something.
