Are some women's or men's standards too high or are they right they need to be?
Regardless of what value system one should choose their mate by. Your friend made the decision based on the man's income, not his character which everything aside had kept her entertained for some time. This IS superficial gold digger behavior.

Anyway asking people how much they make is bad taste at least in Europe, and if someone brought up what do you do for a living or how much do you earn in conversation they would have a lot of harsh judgment thrown their way. If it were a woman I would certainly think of her as a whore, if it was a man I would think mental trauma, but thats just me...
