Would you ever date and have a relationship with a woman who makes more money than you? As in 5 or 6 times more? Is that weird for a guy or would you rather be the bread-winner?

If you are in a relationship like this, how do you deal with dating? Do you let her pay? Do you feel awkward? Is this something a male ego can handle over the long-term? (sorry to generalize, I know there's many men without the macho ego - but some of those feelings are deeply ingrained via our culture)

I'd be interested in hearing stories from women in this situation as well. My ex resented me over the long term because of this. I'm curious about others' experiences.
