| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/2/2005 10:01:09 AM | I don't earn a whole lot at my job; but I make enough to live comfortably...and I'd hope those I date would appreciate that. I don't believe in living to excess...instead, I live within my means.
I live in a small bachelor apartment; my friends think I'm rich...but it's all about managing your funds and knowing what to do with what and where. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/2/2005 5:58:36 PM | Man, these brawds want rich, tall, brad pitt looking ***holes that they feel can give them an orgasm. As much as women don't want to admit it, that is what they are looking for. It is only when they get older that they might "settle".  | |

And I am sure you are looking for an over weight and depressingly unattractive woman
By the way .. stay a whiney loser and you wont even get that
Whatever you fool. Of course I can date somebody I'm attracted to but I'm not a shallow jack ass like some of these brawds tend to be. Don't get mad at me because I speak the truth that alot of people don't. I'm not into all that politically correct bullshit! | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/2/2005 7:05:46 PM | | Nope not true. I have never had money and you know what I like it that way. I don't want a man that will buy my love with Material things. He has to win my heart the old fashioned way :) Dazzling me with the little things instead of showering me with material things. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/2/2005 7:34:16 PM | OH dear Lord, not another "women just want money" thread.
Ok ,reality check. Guys, guess who's after money more than anyone on this planet? YOU! Now while you are pointing the finger at us, remember that you have 3 pointing back at you. I have heard countless numbers of men here talk on and on and throw the word "money" into the mix. It isn't women who are obsessed with your freaking money, it's YOU! Don't you see that yet? Wake up already!
Often, it seems some guy gets rejected or dumped and for whatever reason, he ends up "short-changed" by the experience. In other words, he is broke now. What is the first thing he does? Blames her for being a golddigger. Well I have one question for men who do this. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE MONEY WAS BEING SPENT...SITTING ON THE COUCH WITH YOUR FINGER UP YOUR A*SS? Give me a break. Think about it. Do you think for one minute that I'd just dole out every cent I had to some guy because he suddenly had an urge to go shopping...duh as if...I'm smarter than that. He can deal with his own compulsions and pay for them himself too. Don't fault the female gender because you were too stupid to get a reality check in time. It's not anyone's fault but your own but for gawd sakes, stop blaming the women for it! Guard your precious money and you won't have to worry over it. Be wise with it. Make sure you know where it's going and when and how and for what. And if you expect HER to do all the money managing, well then don't complain when she's spent a bit more than you expected..it's up to you not to dump that responsibility on her. And if a woman IS a genuine golddigger...what is wrong with you that you wouldn't notice that in the first place? Many of you men like to give us ladies shyt for when we get duped by some sap who uses us for something...so take your own medicine and advice and smarten up already.
I don't care about anyone's money. And maybe these women aren't after money necessarily but power. Power is what many of them admire and security is the wise woman's best acquisition for her offspring. Anyone who doesn't "get that" is a bit off IMO. Only a numb dummy wants their kids to go without. That doesn't make her a golddigger, it just makes her responsible. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/2/2005 9:56:16 PM | | I NEVER THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH A MAN MAKES BEFORE I THINK ABOUT GOING OUT WITH HIM, BUT IN THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE FOUND MYSELF BEING A "SUGAR MAMA" TO 2 GUYS. WELL, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT. I JUST LOOK FOR A GUY THAT CAN HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE WORK ALONG WITH ME TO ACHIVE THE SAME GOALS THAT I HAVE, LIKE BUYING A HOUSE. I DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT ANOTHER MAN AGAIN. BUT MAY I SAY AGAIN, I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF HOW MUCH OF AN INCOME A MAN MAKES IN ORDER TO JUDGE WEATHER I GO OUT WITH HIM OR NOT. | |

If a man spends lots of his money on a woman then he is seen as "generous" and a "good provider". If he doesn't he is "scrooge", "a tightwad", "a penny-pincher"
If a woman spends lots of her money on a man then he is "stealing it from her", "can't support himself", "an immoral playboy" | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/3/2005 7:42:10 AM | Oh sheesh..yet another broad generalization! I for one could care less how much money a guy has. I pay my own bills and support myself. I don't "need" a man's money!!!! And material things mean nothing to me. I'd much rather have a guy leave me a note...call me on the phone or make a surprise visit to tell me how much he loves me then for him to buy me things. Trying to "buy" my love has never worked and never will! So....not ALL women want a dude that makes lots of money. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/3/2005 7:56:04 AM | | I REALLY DESPISE HIGH MAINTENANCE WOMEN. I AM NOT ONE OF THEM. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S ALL ABOUT MATERIAL, DOESN'T IT? I'M A SIMPLE GIRL. I ENJOY SIMPLE THINGS THAT DON'T COST A DIME... FULL MOONS, SUNSETS, TIME WITH THAT SPECIAL PERSON, ETC. I'D RATHER GO HIKING IN THE WOODS THAN OUT TO AN UPTIGHT RESTAURANT. TO ALL YOU OUT THERE WITH DOLLAR SIGNS IN YOUR EYES... YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON THE REAL THING. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/3/2005 8:01:35 AM | Nah i don't think that is true for "all" women, granted yes some are money hungry, but there are guy's to that are money hungry and take advantage of well off women.
I know money is alway's a part of any relationship, but I don't think it is to do with how much she loves or likes you, the only factor may be knowing you can atleast provide or contribute a steady life to live in. Me personally I could care less if I had a GF or wife and she even worked at all, as long as she was happy and contributed in other areas of the relationship hey why not.
I don't however support couch patatoa's lol

People ask Donald Trumps wife is she would have married him if he wasn't rich? Her response was "would he have married me if I wasn't beautiful?" | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/3/2005 8:16:16 AM | It’s not the money … usually … however, I have seen a lot of women who go for the security that a well off man can offer. Those relationships don’t usually last long anyway and those guys deep down are hurt little puppies who could never get a girl with their looks and charm.
Bottom line: Women like confidence and successful men project confidence | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/3/2005 9:29:16 AM | Personally, I think the gold digger response is a reaction that the average guy uses to accept that he has been rejected. It's easier on our lil ego's to say "Oh she's just a gold digging snob" as opposed to "I don't have what it takes to keep her interest".
My experience tells me that most women, as this thread would indicate, simply want you to earn a decent living. But don't get me wrong. I realize there are plenty of women that are seeking rich men but I honestly can't say I blame them. I mean come on guys.....would you rather date a woman on welfare or one that has a million bucks in the bank? If all else is equal, then I'd like to date the lady with money. It simply makes life more enjoyable. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/3/2005 9:35:32 AM | Women would do well to steer clear of guys who make sweeping generalizations. I'd like to thank those of you having done so in this thread, on behalf of women everywhere, for metaphorically pasting a big sign on your forehead so we know to avoid you.
Much appreciated! | |

Wow - what a sweeping generalization you are making Ulalume  | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/4/2005 10:55:06 PM | Okay, I'm going to post something that a couple of gentlemen here will find displeasing, but since this is a forum, I'm going to post it anyway.
If you choose to continue generalizing all women because you have met a small portion of women that have hurt your feelings in the past, you're only hurting yourself. Sure, maybe there are a few women out there who prefer a man that has a few digits in their bank account, but basing all women on just those few is plain ridiculous. Try looking at it logically. How many women are there in the world compared to how many you've met in your lifetime?
You can choose to generalize women in a negative way if you want, but someday you might end up passing up a beautiful and intelligent woman who wants you because of WHO YOU ARE and not WHAT YOU HAVE just because you have some idiotic idea that all women want is a man with money.
Best wishes. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/4/2005 11:11:47 PM | regarding sprada7's statement "Man, these brawds want rich, tall, brad pitt looking ***holes that they feel can give them an orgasm. As much as women don't want to admit it, that is what they are looking for. It is only when they get older that they might "settle". "....
Why the Hell are you on a dating website if this is how you think and why isn't that sentence in your profile?...... 
Wanna know why women aren't interested in guys like you? And I’m basing ‘YOU” totally on your outrageous statement above, and assuming women aren't interested in you or else you wouldn't be so pissed..... It's called 'attitude' my friend and I don't care how tall or Brad Pitt'ish looking, how many orgasm's he's capable of instigating or how much money he makes, I would never settle for any man who thinks like you.....I'm 40 and refuse to settle, so that blows your theory........
To make decent money, most people have to have a good frame of mind, excellent work ethics and good character and self confidence….(Assuming they weren’t born into money-not that all people born into money don’t have those qualities either)…...and THOSE are the qualities that attract women, regardless of how much money you actually make and what you do for a living… I don’t care for pictures with guys posing next to their boat or sports car ……those profiles get passed by immediately by me, I don’t care what they look like …..

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/5/2005 4:23:53 AM | | That's not true! Money means very little, it pays the bills and makes life comfortable, but isn't going to bring happiness. I would much rather have a man in my life that I truly love and cherish and can build a solid relationship who isn't making a lot of money, than a man who has nothing to offer but a ton of money. | |

Who would she pick?
See, it matters. They don't want to admit it but it does. | |
