My two cents: I'd rather date someone who makes about as much money as I do than someone who makes a lot of money. It suggests that our means are about the same, which means our lifestyles are more likely to be compatible. (If this makes me unusual because I wouldn't be comfortable having a rich partner pay for me for everything, well, I don't want to be usual.)
I'm curious: Do you also omit other potential references to your financial status in your profile, or just the direct statement of your actual salary?
I have a sentence saying "I make more money than I know what to do with", it's pretty vague. Maybe I'll edit my profile because user pwno has sent me many suggestions saying it's all wrong.
Yeah ... that sentence seems to conflict with your goal of not encouraging golddiggers. :P
The profile also says I have no TV, no fridge, no washing machine, no microwave (which is true) so "more money than I know what to do with" becomes frighteningly ambiguous :-)
Haha, fair. Although my assumption based on the lack of fridge would be "this person does not cook for himself, or else does not use perishable ingredients" which isn't very flattering either. ;)
The weather in Moscow right now is only slightly above freezing, so I keep some perishable products on the balcony. And in summer I sleep there, on some rugs.
Even if you didn't say that, on reading “I make more money than I know what to do with” in a profile with the income field in the sidebar blank would make me think they're very frugal, rather than that they make lots of money (possibly because I'm Generalizing From One Example!).
