| Should salary determine relationships?
Posted: 8/25/2005 11:12:53 PM | | I have never judged men I've dated by their salary, I have been with men who have had nothing when I met them to having great careers and ambition in the end. Sometimes people just need someone to believe in them. | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 6:09:35 AM | i have a feeling that a woman on welfare who has the audacity to ask a man to pay for her babysitter, then pay him back with tax payer dollars, isn't going off welfare any time soon and will continue to be nothing but a drain on society and set a horrible example for her children
i DID receive welfare when i was in high school. sucked it up, quit the welfare, went to college and would roll through the mcdonalds drive through and just ask for free pickles. that was dinner in those days. i also used birth control because i knew you couldn't keep a baby alive on free pickles.
also, auri is 100% correct | |

Why cant she pay the baby-sitter in the 1st place WITHOUT asking for the mans money? Or have the man BE the baby-sitter for free? | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 7:02:38 AM | i personally don't think incomes should determine a relationship.. several factors to consider.. most incomes are based on where a person lives..
incomes in metro areas are 2 to 3 times higher job for job than they are in rural areas...
and in todays society where you can meet people from anywhere and establish a relationship, you will almost always not be equal..
as for myself, its the person that is important to me, not what they earn or what they have..

...I understand that you and biz are just pushing buttons...but wether it be men or women ,
some not all have the idea that it is fine to go out with someone of lessor income as long as they have thier onw money to pay for things..."like a haircut"... or a "set of snowtires" ...in other words have some form of self sufficiency....btw I have read every string in this post... | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 1:05:27 PM | Well I still think that finding a good match is more than the initial chemistry and attraction that you can find with many people. It is real easy to say that other factors should not influence finding that someone special, but I just dont see how it is realistic. If you are just looking to go out a couple of times and enjoy yourself, then other factors would not matter. They dont influence your life. But if you are looking for long term relationships then you do have to consider these other factors that are going to be influencing the way you live if you choose to stay with the person. This is not just with finding someone at a similar income level. Yea this question is sould income be a factor when developing a relationshop, but we could be having the exact same discussion about other reasons people do not pursue contact with another person.
Perhaps a person has kids and the other person doesnt want kids.
Perhaps a person is a certain religion and only wants to date in their faith.
Perhaps a person doesnt want to date anyone that has been divorced.
Perhaps a person doesnt want to date a certain body type.
Perhaps a person likes dark hair over blond.
We can be having the same argument that, hey if you pick and choose you are going to miss some fantastic people in the people you are rejecting. Money just happens to be a sensitive subject since it deals with social classes. But is it any different than being contacted by someone who in their profile says they dont want children. And you write back and say, "Thanks but no thanks. I would like to have children some day." | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 1:58:09 PM | I agree with aurielei and SICUtie, when you have someon that believes in you, and encourages you to be all that you can be, wonderful things can happen.
Having someone believe in you can be a powerful motivating force, not to mention a wonderful feeling.

...real good point , it does seem that money stands out in the forefront from other issues like , no children , same race , faith or whatever....all in all , in the end I guesse it is what suits our individual needs the best... | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 3:02:49 PM | | I hate it when my date eats celery. Stinky breath. I broke up with a model because of it. So, yeh it determined my imaginary date. Not that money is related to this topic, but the celery cost alot, and she expected me to pay for it! We snuck out the back door, near the soda pop machine and went by some crack heads. Guess what? She gave them a 20! Hmmph. I know it was my brother she use to date, but really! Now I'm single again, and I heard my brother isn't. Hmmph. | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 3:24:50 PM | I am poor...it would be highly unusual for a man to make less than I do...
I have NEVER asked a man to pay for anything...or to "lend me money" or "help me out". If I needed a man to pay my way, I would be honest enough to be turning tricks. | |

Thats true . But if the man is a gentleman & asks a lady for a date than yes he should pay for the babysitter,, volunteerily. But like me,,if I want to go out with a guy,, why not pay half & half or howecvver u both want it. If the guy isnt making all that much or something & I am working I dont mind takking turns paying. No matter what it is or where ever it is. | |
