Posted: 7/21/2009 6:13:52 PM | like sex, money is 90% important when you don't get it and 10% important when you do:-)
It'd depend on why they've gone a rough time. It's not the money itself that matters. Being financially responsible myself & never in debt (ok, except for the mortgage) I'd not be comfortable with someone who doesn't share a similar attitude & approach toward their financial health. | |

Posted: 7/21/2009 6:16:59 PM | Finances. There's this funny thing and it seems to run more in women wanting a man to be "financially stable". WTF does that really mean these days? And what do these women bring to the table that they require men to be financially stable yet have 3 kids from 2 relationships and make $10/hour.
Phooey. | |

Nah - income is not a searchable value, so it doesn't make a difference.'
But since you seem to be looking for looks, yet, have none to offer yourself, well......would you like a little cheese with your w(h)ine? | |

No nesting material, no honey...unless of course you've got a special woman who looks

Posted: 7/21/2009 11:36:09 PM | | my take on this is: money is the most needed thing for yourself, in order to live, and live a good life, cash is needed to pay for things, however I dont think it should have any barring on dating or longterm loving someone, my only request is that you have a job, just as I do. | |

I agree with this...except except replace woman/her with man/him
I already support one person financially (not a child). I'm not going to support another financially. | |

To me money is not that big of a deal. As long as he has a job and works hard and doesn't want a sugar mama I am ok! cutegirlnplano: Thats a good attitude and a good start! However, let me ask you, what if he's retired? What if he's already made enough money? What if he doesn't want to work hard anymore? Is funny, when I get questions like "What do you do for a living?" and "How can you afford this or that?" I always tell them, "thats easy, I've got a money tree growing in my backyard".
I think the real question is how responsible is someone? I don't think so much of how important money is, but how responsible the person is, whether its a man or woman. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 7:20:21 AM | | Money isn't an issue for me. It's what's inside of a person to be blunt. Now, marriage, that's a whole different ball of wax. If I can't look her square in the eye and say that if she opts to be a stay at home mom than it's cool I have no place marrying her, and in return if she can't look at me and say that if I'm injured on the job and lose my foot/hand that she'll stick around and make sure we don't hit quicksand than she has no place marrying me. Then again, I don't plan on getting married within the next five years I imagine. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 8:40:20 AM | for many women money is important. it takes 2 people these days to make a good comfortable income for many. if the man is giving himself and his financial support, but the woman is only giving herself then who is bringing more into the relationship? I definitely wouldn't want to be with someone who asked me for money all the time no matter how much money I make. For some people the situation works, but there can still be resentment which could lead to anger. If you had no kids, and she doesn't work....what is she doing all day with her time? Cleaning doesn't take all day neither does cooking. Having a job and making money is a better use of time than sitting around, even if it's part time.
It makes the person resemble a leech more than a significant other. Most men don't care what women make, which says a lot about having more substance than those women. I think everyone's requirement should at least and at best be that the other should be able to support themselves.
sadly money can be a barrier between what could of been a great long lasting relationship or kindred spirits.
It is good for both people to have jobs for another reason; what if the main bread winner loses their job? at least then they'd be able to buy time for the other to find a job. All that pressure placed on one person is not good for both people.
Quite a few people have tested if income helps on dating sites, and of course it does. This one guy changed his income from something average to something relatively high and went from a few profile views with no messages, to a full inbox in a short period of time. Most of those women probably saw his income and thought of what they could buy with it or how comfortable they could live. The money helps them overlook all the things they might not like about that person, which is a very bad start.
Money works the other way around. many women get controlled by men that are the sole source of income. if you're an unhappily married woman who doesn't work it can make it very difficult to get out of a bad marriage, and after a divorce to support yourself. There's a lot of women who married young, never had a job, 20 years later get a divorce and have to support themselves which can be very difficult if you have no job skills or even anything to put on the resume. Some stay unhappily married and deal with the same problems for the rest of their lives instead of a divorce. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 9:55:33 AM | | ok, this needs to be clear. Financial security for me is necessary. That doesn't mean that I would be with a man for that reason, in fact I don't need to. However, having being raised by a conservative european family who had their father's generation going through the war and the hard times afterwards, I would say I highly value saving and dislike overspending. I could never be with somebody unable to manage his money well or a waster......the one that wants all the toys and is willing to live above his means. I just don't want to have to provide for a man financially. The economical power in the committed relationship should be somewhat balanced. I would never take the risk of losing what my family has so hard worked for. It's a european thing....we pass economic wealth to the offspring and hope they do the same, without taking useless risks. Now, one can go through a rough time financially for different reasons. Every situation needs to be judged one by one. I simply do not want any irresponsible or broke individual to take advantage of my self-sufficiency. My parents have never been willing to provide for somebody else's other than their daughter. They expect me to find a partner who is financially capable, stable and able to make my life better, not worse. All I have will be left to my ex-husband's kids and grandkids. I tell that right away. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 10:23:07 AM | | Money is very important in a relationship.. I met a man (living in Vegas) talked to him for over a 6 months he decided to move back to Florida, after talking to the man 7 days a week for no less than 8 hours a day you would think you would know a little bit about them but you never know them until you live with them.. he told me he was running out of money and would get a job when he returned to Florida.. (retired attorney) so there shouldn't be any problem there RIGHT... wrong.. all he did was sit around the house and spend what little bit of money he had left and when he figured out that I didn't have nor was I capable of or willing to support him he left in the middle of the day while I (the bread winner) was at work.. one can only imagine what it is like to come home to an empty house because he left because of MONEY.. and not having any.. sorry to dump all this on the forum but I honestly needed to get that out.. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 10:35:53 AM | Rich people or no more precious than poor . In 1972 I was 22 and I drove a Corvette ,wore expensive clothes and had a booger picker on my right hand (big ugly gaudy ring).Looking great on the outside and spending like money was nothing . I also had holes in my underwear. It was all about values . Today I care for all my friends and their friends . Money is not what enders them to me . I am more concerned about their health than their finances . If I die tonight I have enough money to last the rest of my life . | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 10:48:50 AM | Rich people or no more precious than poor . I fully agree.
But when we talk about a legal bond between 2 parties, economics matter. For the rest I could not give a damn how much a friend of mine has or doesn't have. Actually I prefer to be around low income people, to tell you the truth. A friend is a friend. A live in relationship or marriage is different. I am simply not a risk taker, that's all. That does not mean that I base my relationship on money. I have other values. | |
