Shadow, I'm just stating facts. All first-years in NYC in biglaw earn that much, it's not a secret, or personal to me. I'm not making any claims about how great I am, i was merely stating that these high-powered women probably do not want to, and more significantly, cannot, find men who can wine and dine and bejewell them and earn more money.
Robert Franklin, I totally agree with you about how that life is completely lame and unstimulating. But some don't seem to be of that opinion. That's why I'm asking them what they think. :)
BrightStar, you may very well be right that you have a higher purchasing power than I do. However, first-years at BigLaw in Texas also earn a base of $160,000. I don't know what their bonus is in Texas, but i'm sure it's not nonexistent.
