I would never marry someone for their money.

Definately love, however they would have to have no money for a good reason. Not just because they couldn't be a***d.

just goes to show... when you are guy... you must hide the gold...
start testing her....
tell her stories how this week you are hard up on cash, etc... and see how she reacts.

The sad thing is monetary is rather temporary on the large scale if things. The enviornmental and economic issues facing humanity are going to lead us to a life of no money and learning to live off shoestrings (thats my humble opinion)... which, really, is not all that bad of an idea if you are a romantic!

If this thread continues for even a hundred more postings and each person claims love in liue of money, then we know within a certain degree of statistical accuracy that liars are among us.

Who would willingly admit to marriage with only the promise of financial reward?

That alone would only demonstrate a lack of social sensitivity - that is only asking to be judged as shallow and selfish.

I think a more practical post is one which investigates the more sought out currencies in dating :

money, appearence, etc.

"I think one of the reasons for that response is your location. From my experience, the majority (not all, I know you are not) of people in Toronto are very materialistic. I stress people, both men and women."

Always Smiling35 ,

Keep in mind that is true for a certain demographic of Torontonites. Especially those fashionistas who frequent King Street hotspots.

I find that the difference between the young and trendy (20~35) is vastly different in Toronto and Mississauga (the borough next door).

There ya go...look at what society's done. Sad, really upsetting to hear that...I'd always hoped we could rely on women to bring back a little sanity to matters.

Gotta be love...everytime. One of my ex's was fairly well set, but I couldn't hang around just for the comfort of the whole situation...no sir. Need real lurve.

Actually Torquill, escort services don't need a million dollars.....$300~400 should cover it.

I absolutely want love, but why does it have to be that he's broke? Does it have to be one or the other? Can I have an order of the 'wonderful loving man, with a nice side of good job/secure financial future'?

The gold diggers are out there. Once someone has mined your accounts you tend to be VERY cautious almost to a fault in your future dealings. A pre nup is a must if I ever do that "M" thing in the future.

Have you ever heard the song by Sammy Hagar "Love or Money" a short exerpt...
Give me love, love or money and she said MONEY Honey! That's what I want! LOL! So appropriate here I couldn't resist. Don't bombard me with hate mail please. I am not generalizing, I was only sharing the song! I do believe there are people who care less about cash somewhere! Hope I find one!

I had the money end of a marriage and it brought me nothing but heart ache so anyone who is considering such a cold marriage best of luck,..........Now I am not saying that I married my husband for money, I was also independent and working full time so together we were very fortunate, but will admit the fact that he was a good provider did come into play and why shouldn't it of....... he also enjoyed the perks of my employment.

LOVE is definitely the only way to go but that is a lesson that only you yourself can learn.

I want to marry for love but I have met too many gold-diggers for me not to be cautious in my search. I agree that you should marry a person that you are in love with but it is unfortunate some marry for money or will only get serious about someone that has money. In the last year almost every woman I have met in person from this site has said one of 2 things:

1. If we agree to meet for a meal for a first date/meeting and I suggest we go dutch before meeting they go to the meeting then I get an e-mail after the date/meeting saying they were offended that I wanted to go dutch and even though they met me they had already decided they would not see me again because I did not pay for them that they would not see me again calling me cheap.

2. If I pay for the date/meeting they want to see me again but they seem to want to see me 3-4 times each week which is great however they always want to go to dinner or a movie and if they have kids they want to go to an amusement park. As soon as I suggest we go for a walk in the park or stay in and rent a movie they say that they want someone who can support them in a lifestyle that hey want and pay off their debts for them.

I am looking fora kind lady who will stand by me throug good times and bad not just stand by me when my wallet appears fat or my credit card has lots of room on it.

Love is a four letter word that does not pay the bills.

Cute post. My friends and I have often discussed such items. I am alwasy the first one to say - money - love can come later! *chuckles*

Call me nasty, but I can not be with a man who can not support himself. You don't need to be rich, but I personally like them employed, making money, and can handle their own bills and expenses. It has nothing to do with spoiling me or being a sugar daddy of some kind (I have my own business, make my own money and buy my own things).

But if I were to find myself "in love" with a poor man he better know how to cook because he can forget it if he expects me to wine and dine him LOL

I want butterflies, chocolate, strawberry wine, and a foot rubber!
Those four things on top of honesty and faithfulness will make me adore you.

So, where's my man wife?

Oh come on every woman says she wants a soul mate.

But what she really means is she wants a nice bloke who is loaded and will buy her those nice shoes, clothes and laods of holidays !

I say love.
I dated a guy that had money once and he tried to change me. When we started dating I did'nt have any idea he had half the money he had so that's not why I dated him but end the end that's what split us up. I don't want someting that is'nt mine.
I would like to fall in love and have it last for the rest of my life.
