Posted: 2/4/2007 6:50:19 PM | | Personally I pass by guys that need to bait their hook with materialistic objects. We all like nice things but what happens when there gone? How does the guy feel about himself then? What makes a great guy is what is inside and projected outward in words and deeds not boats, motorcycles, and cars. Sorry! | |

Posted: 2/5/2007 3:01:49 AM | I absolutely HATE it!! I even make it clear in my profile TWICE that it does not impress me whatsoever. But, still, men seem to think that telling me how much $$$$$ they have to spend on me and/or telling me what they can "do" for me if I go out with them, will get them a date.
I am not an escort and I am not someone that can be "bought". If I am not attracted to the person inside and out, no amount of money is gonna change that. I could care less how much freaking money he has or doesn't have, for that matter.
Then, they wonder why they attract "gold diggers" and women only looking for a "sugar daddy"...they should rethink how they represent themselves and re-evaluate their approach.
Modesty is an attractive quality, unfortunately, it seems many men who lack self confidence or are just looking for an "ego boost" will resort to exploiting their belongings and monetary worth in order to try and achieve what their personality alone was not able to. | |

Posted: 2/5/2007 9:10:48 AM | You mean , like the women who show their dogs, cats, 1 eye, there mountain pics or some flower pot or no pic at all!! Works both ways...
Hey Jer, you've had the rare opportunity of seeing BOTH of my "baby blues" in person, but if ya wanna pic of just ONE, I'll "wink and snap" for ya! LOL! 
You are right, it can go both ways, but, I still feel men are more guilty of parading their "toys" online in an effort to get a date than women are.
MY "toys" aren't fit for POF posting sooooo... | |

He who dies with the most toys wins.
I think a lot guys really believe that and listing the toys they have accumulated is a big part of who they are. The touchy feely things are private and not always open for discussion. I get that.
It's hard to encapsulate a lifetime in small space and because profiles are like an audition...we all try to highlight what we believe are our ASSETS. Men tend to list tangibles, women discuss intangibles but no matter what we choose to write...it's just scratching the surface. | |

Posted: 2/5/2007 12:20:54 PM | IMHO....I tend to think that men as they get older are certainly proad of their lifetime work,which of course would include material possesions,however the reason that they do it is probably not any different than the sweet young thing that plasters her physical attributes prominently so that we all pretty much know where she is coming from.I`m sure the older ladies on this site can appreciate that of which I speak.People tend to show there prominent attributes,be it intellectual,materialistic,phisical or otherwise.So if one is worse or better than another is subject to personal taste depending on what we seek in life.There are men for example who tend to believe that the only way to catch there next mate is to show these material assets to the world.{case in point in this vane would be Donald Trump and his trophy wives}Then of course you have females of the same bent who are under the illusion that the only way to catch their mate is thru physical attributes, that they percieve men would certainly die for.IMHO.....of course.

Posted: 2/5/2007 12:44:14 PM | I am not a materialistic lady, and I can't stand guys that are. It's just stuff people, honestly!
I understand if there's a passion behind the activity, like showing a pic of a boat when you love to be out on the water...but the 'here's my toy' attitude makes me sick.
Besides the fact that it's shallow, it serves only to draw the golddiggers. | |

Posted: 2/5/2007 1:05:03 PM | Ok, ok. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned my car - I dunno. I love cars and I have one that I love - it doesn't even run at the moment so I wouldn't consider mentioning it materialistic or bragging...I just like it and speed is part of who I am. But nonetheless, maybe I should delete that.
As for ladies not being materialistic: sure, I grant that there are ladies out there that aren't materialistic - I've met both styles. However, I would assume that most women would rather have a man who is financially stable (which, in my case is questionable, so ignore this parentheses) so what's the big deal?
Yes, some folks like to brag about what they have - if you get that from me - oh well, you don't know me and never will cuz you judged me wrongly...
Have fun - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA | |

Posted: 2/5/2007 2:40:39 PM | If you love cars and going fast it's not being materialistic...just watch how you present that part of yourself. Instead of saying 'hey check out my fast car' try saying you 'love fast cars and are toying with the idea of applying at NASCAR'.Talking about yourself and bragging aren't the same thing, it's all in the presentation.

Posted: 2/11/2007 5:08:15 AM | What you say is VERY true,,,yet I have met some ladies who do the same thing,,,so its not just men,,,ladies do the same thing,,,just as some ladies feel certian pics will draw the attention ,more than the personality,,,to me its the inner person,,,all the rest is icing on a cake,,,its NOT materalist things that forfill the emotional and the physcial aspects of a QUAILITY relationship,,,its the drive of them as a PERSON,,with what they offer as a warm,tender,sensual,intellegent human being,,,
When I saw your in Tampa,,,I was raised there,,,maybe it was the water we drank as we grew up,,,lol,,,, | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 5:18:02 AM | Your right about the materialist aspects,,,woman do the same,,,I have found that there are alot of ladies out there that are so inhabited about their sensuality,thier thoughts,needs,desires of the emotional and physcial aspects they run,hide from them,,I guess there are those who have not been encouraged to express and communicate themselves for so long that forgot how too,,,yet they desire communication,respect,appreaciation,,at the same time hide thier own needs,wants desires,,,,
I enjoy the beauty of being able to communicate on ALL levels,,I encourage the same,,I have met ladies who just cannot understand the beauty they are missing,,,heck,,,just to mention I enjoy the beauty of a lady who appreaciates the gift of lace,,,its not just the package,,,its the beauty of the person gift wraping themselves as an expression of appreaciation and creativity in advancing ALL aspects of romance,the emotional,the physcial,,,,both are to warm and beautiful to keep inside just one heart,,, | |

You mean , like the women who show their dogs, cats, 1 eye, there mountain pics or some flower pot or no pic at all!! Works both ways... How is this even remotely the same? We're talking about guys who show off their expensive things...last I checked, having one eye doesn't generally cost a lot. Unless the woman owns the mountain, who cares? Then it would be materialistic of course. My cat didn't cost me anything but what it costs to feed her and keep her kitty litter stocked up and her vet visit once a year. If your profile shows your $40, 000 car or a huge house, not the same thing
The thing about showing off your things, is these are the same guys who will then turn around and talk about how the woman he's seeing is shallow and a gold-digger. You can't win. | |

Posted: 2/11/2007 1:45:23 PM | Frankly I dont want to meet a guy who is down on his luck and struggling to keep his head above water...he isnt very smart,
That's not true at all. In fact, it's a classist remark.
Paris Hilton isn't very smart, and she has lots of material things.
What about women who are struggling? What about all the people below the poverty line? Are they just dumb?
And just because people have money and lots of assets doesn't mean that they are smart, sensitive, honest, faithful, decent, etc. God look at all the rich and famous people out there and the problems that they have. Some of them end up dead.
Hey, I don't go showing off my cd or comic book collection.
Ooops! Shouldn't have mentioned comics. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 3:14:24 AM | You know something brilliant is going to fly out of someones mouth when the sentence starts with..."And just because"...and ends with ..."some of them end up dead"
[That's not true at all. In fact, it's a classist remark.]
Lol...it is so true, I don't! And I would love to meet a woman who will honestly...lol...say she is! When did it become "wrong" to admire men and women who have worked hard, achieved a level of success and acquired nice things? And when did that equate to not being a good person? Hey, you can do both.
[Frankly I dont want to meet a guy who is down on his luck and struggling to keep his head above water...he isnt very smart, hasnt been successful in the game of LIFE and has made many bad choices, chances are that is a habit he'll continue.]
Hey "iwarrior"! If your going to quote me don't cut me off in mid sentence.
[Paris Hilton isn't very smart, and she has lots of material things]
ahhh...I see, therefore we can conclude ..that successful men/women who have acquired alot of material possessions are not smart?... This sort of thinking always reminds me of Monty Python and the skit of "she's a witch, burn her"...
For the record...We all struggle. Yes all of us, men and women at every social economic level. Life is hard and at times, harder than others can imagine. Stop the cliche's. Living below the poverty level doesn't make you happy as same as being well off doesn't mean your miserable. I am attracted to men who succeed in rising up against the odds. I am attracted to those who are warm compassionate human beings. And its a good thing to be proud ...think for a moment what a person who posts a picture of their Toy is saying..."Look what I've done!"...I applaud him /her and say be happy for them.
Here's a stock tip...You like to read comics. Read the book "The Secret".

Posted: 3/20/2007 3:45:16 AM | | 'read-deleted' is my typical response to messages from guys who don't have a single pic of themselves on their profiles, but who instead flaunt images of their stuff (cars, boats, motorbikes, or whatever other machine they've spent too much money on). it's right up there with those guys who send uninvited penis pics...i mean ya that's nice and all buddy, but what the h*ck does that bit of flesh come attached to? it's funny how so many guys define themselves by what they've got (or compensate for what they haven't got) in order to impress women. personally i'm not that shallow or materialistic, and any guy who assumes that i am doesn't respect or think enough of me (or himself) to be worth my time. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 4:11:51 AM | .. they have achievements allowing them Material Possesions .. but leave many unanswered questions.
Q!: Do they love their possesions more than themselves, life or a potential partner?
Q2: Are they trying to say, "I need a mate to share and enjoy these Possesions with"?
Q3: Are the possesions left from their failed relationships and are these the reason they failed?
Q4: If you dated these men, Would you be photographed and submitted on websites as a display of what they owned too??
Q5: or Simply, hey i can provide!  | |
