Spend a lot of time perusing the personals, do you?

I've got a lot of free time. I spend a lot of the time broke, so regardless of what women state about dating broke guys, I'm watching Wheel of Fortune on tv.

Fortunately, there are some who'll make me a nice sammich every once in a while because they go for middle-aged sloths.

Women in the personals seem to have a checklist. You must complete the checklist before applying. I realized that I didn't have any of the item on the checklist except "penis enlargement ad model (after)". I didn't want to feel "used".

"Financially insecure, alchoholic who spends all his money on skydiving and other unseemly hobbies seeks wealthy bar owner with enormous tatas."

I've dated quite a few women that work their way into finding out how much I make as soon as possible. It goes right up with the "better than the Jones" attitude everyone in a big city seems to have.

Most guys can detect it - we are used to it. Everytime I found a girl like that, she was gone shortly afterwards.

If they're gold digging bitches, then you can use it against them. I drop the "I'm a Captain in the Air Force" line on them, and if they don't care, I keep 'em. If they have dollar signs in their eyes, it's a one way ticket to Wham-bam-thankya-Ma'am City, with an exit onto the off ramp immediately thereafter...

My EX girlfriend never had a problem with me taking her on all expense vacations (yes that's plural) to the Carribean.......

Now that I think of it, Hey, I think she was using me!!

Grr. Personally, I'm most comfortable if I'm on equal footing with a guy. If I make much more, then I end up paying for everything, which sucks; if he makes much more, then I'm paranoid about accepting his generosity, because I am NOT in search of a sugah daddy.

One guy I dated made quite a bit more than most of our peers. And boy did we know it. After a while, it was like, "Dude, if you want a girlfriend who's impressed, you need to keep looking."

'Course, on the flipside, making a comfortable living is important - whatever range that is for each person, as long as they can manage their money and take care of themselves. Mooches need not apply.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

[goose491 0]

I present the only reason you heard this is because you yourself, are a girl. If a guy asked any one of those 'ladies' the same thing, they would get an entirely different answer.

Yeah, times have changed... "You've come a long way baby"...

But the times haven't changed all that much... and 'baby', you still gold-diggas.

lol.

No matter how much money I have, or ever will. I will always do the first date posing as a po-boy. A little embarassing but it's the only way to make sure the gal ain't in your pockets and wallet.

Hi honey....I have heard this more than a few times in my life (people dating for money) and I don't get it. Personally I think you need to be happy with yourself in order to happily move forward in your life and hopefully in someone else's. MONEY does NOT buy happiness and eventually the novelty of "getting what you want" will wear off and THEN what is there.

Can you just imagine how much more financially set (and perhaps peaceful) this WORLD would be if everyone could just take care of there damn selves?

I think I've drifted off course..... but anyway...dating for money makes no sense and I don't care what anyone says - MONEY is NOT everything. I learned that this past year as I watched many of the pennies I've saved the last 15 years disappear - but as I looked in the mirror, I also saw the biggest brightest smile looking back at me.

Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

I always sneak a look in a man's wallet before I will date him...

to make sure he uses the MAGNUM condoms.

I agree with you Mocha. But it seems that most, i did not say all, but most now days are like that. WTF, i'm broke, so no one is going to pay allot of attention to me anyhow. I do agree with the "country girl" in you, that is the way it should be.

Nice strategy Goose! I voted “no.”

Dating for $$ has really hurt how guys view us. I’ve dated very successful men, who are overly flashy, self consumed and have their own little “me” factor running away with them. I know of some women who don’t mind that, as long as the guy shares the wealth. Whatever.

I really enjoy stealing the check and paying on some dates. I don’t want a sugar-daddy….I would lose my independence and that itself is priceless.

[sunshine 2]

I like being independent and taking care of myself. Most of the people around here that have known me for a while know about my ex. He made a ton of money. When we first got together he wasn't rich, but i didn't care cause i loved him. After being together about 2 years, he got one helluva promotion at work. After that I had everything i ever wanted. A nice big beautiful house, swimming pool, brand new truck, vacations, tons of new clothes. But after a few years when we grew apart and i realized i didn't love him, i was faced with staying or leaving. I chose to leave knowing it meant i would have to get a second job and struggle to support myself. I now live in a tiny studio apartment and can barely afford anything. But ya know, i'm happier now than if i would've stayed with a rich man i didn't love.

In fairness to women; I do think that 'wealth appeal' is not an entirely a clear-cut phenomenon.

Some simple examples are:

Part of the attraction is that his aftershave smells awesome. The aftershave is super-expensive but she may not even know that, she's just really perked by the scent.

Driving in his car makes her feel great. The cab temperature is perfect, the sound quality of the car audio is superb, the seats are more comfortable than the home sofa.
She doesn't like him more because the car is expensive, but the creature-comforts in the car has the effect of making her happier, more relaxed, directing her mood in a favourable direction, etc.

At his home, she is awestruck by the Egyptian theme used in the interior design. Sure, it costs a lot of money, but that's not why she likes it.
In reality, there are thousands of guys with excellent taste in interior design but lacking the money to implement it. But, in her eyes, he is the special guy with rare and exceptional taste.

At the nightclub, the shooters are being swallowed at great speed. Girl 'A' is with the guy with unlimited credit at the bar and she's having the time of her life.
Girl 'B' is about to order another row when her date akwardly mentions that she cant... coz he's on a budget that has just reached a limit.


My point is; in my opinion, femmes are often attracted by the effects and results of wealth, and not the simple notion of cold, hard cash. In may cases they may not even realise that it's all related to money. They are simply aware that spending time with the guy makes them happier, whatever the reasons may be.

well I didnt hunt or look for someone who was better off financially, it jsut kinda happened for me. I dont mind at all that my wife makes more money than me. And, although, I am not using her for her money...I like to call her my sugar momma:):):)

So are you saying that women are too stupid to realize that nice things usually cost money?

I think he is trying to say that some women find it easier to forget those issues. As some men find it easier to not think about why this gorgeous 25 year old is with him eventhough he is 50 but happens to be wealthy and/or powerful.

I had a friend who dated guys for their car. I remember hearing her say all the time "I'm dating his car, not him."

I think that's just shallow. The bad thing is that she never saw anything wrong with it. She liked being seen in the nice car and she'd flirt with guys on the road when she was riding with her guy. How lame is that......

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

It's called genetics. No different than guys dating for looks. Women are genetically engineered to be attracted to whom they perceive as providers. Men are designed to be attracted to whom they perceive as fertile. That's initial attraction, anyway. Using those qualities as the be all/end all of deciding on whether to continue a long term relationship is pretty lame. But they're going to be a factor in most cases, no matter how much you try to deny those instincts.

Yeah, that's kind of rude and guys figure that out quick. "Hmmm...she doesn't really like me, she's just here for the cash." It happens a good bit. Every guy I know has one of those stories. They want to go to the concert/show/restaurant and need the cash machine.

Guys treat girls like that by their own rules. It works out eventually. The funny thing is when they get dumped, they act like they were into some kind of relationship.

It actually helps the future women though. After the Mr. Nice Guy "I'll do anything for you" gets beaten out of them, they develop good boundaries and rules for two-way relationships.

I think that it's safe to say that both men and women will date someone for very shallow reasons - looks, money, etc. Values like that are not gender specific.

That being said, I would never date someone for their money but I would say that a person's financial status or attitude towards money can influence the relationship.

I was seriously involved with someone who was going through a bad divorce that financially devastated him. It really affected his self-esteem and that took a huge toll on our relationship. I never cared about his car or his bank book but his attitude was very difficult to deal with. Eventually the relationship ended. From a money standpoint only - I don't need someone who is rich or even makes a lot more money than me, but I do need someone who is at least financially stable.

True. There are guys who post that they won't date a girl who is just interested in their money. I hope they aren't dating a girl just because of her looks.

For me, being superficial is ok because I am admittedly evil.
