| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/7/2005 8:44:24 AM | So, does EVERY woman think that a guy who's poor or who doesn't have money is a bum or a loser? HAHA. How shallow can you be?!?!?!? There was a 'would you date a guy without a car?' thread as well. So, a guy who doesn't own a car and/or is unemployed is a slacker-alcoholic, is that it? LOL You girls are so narrow-minded. Not everyone down on his luck is a drug addict, okay? What if the guy made bad decisions or bad investments and is just having a temporary struggle? I guess since the guy doesn't have money (THEN AND NOW), you won't consider him, right? Some people make bad decisions or have bad luck. Some guys decide to make major changes in their life including a career/occupation change and that sometimes results in a reduced income or having to move in with parents (or parent) or they can't afford the mansion you want (and the BMW).
The people here who constantly assert that women here are not shallow or materialistic have a good sense of humour. It's amusing. Even the guys who try to defend them provoke a chuckle. No one cares if women don't have the greatest money-making job or live at home with parents. Women only complain about guys after their looks. Guys have to worry about their job (whether it's good enough), their car (whether they have one and whether it's good enough) AND THEIR LOOKS (whether they're good enough). What a great world! | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/7/2005 9:19:38 AM | Yes, granted some women what to be with a man who has money, others like I don't care. I do want someone who is able to take care of himself. Yet not someone who their primary goal in life is making money. I don't want to be with someone who is working 60 hrs a wk, never home, & when he is he grumpy/tired. Never mind if it's legal or not. Money comes and goes. Things happen. When the money runs out where does that leave you?
So, tell me how come some guys brag about making lots of money, drive expensive cars, have many toys, etc., then complain when a woman does take him on shopping sprees? Don't flaunt it unless you want it spent.
One of my friend's profile read "I don't care how much you much, what you drive, about your boat or where you live. I am able to spend what you make in a year in less than 2 hours at any reputable mall." | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/7/2005 10:03:46 AM | Can't lump us all together, and that's never been important to me.. But, you at least have to have a job, AND, keep it~~~~ I gave away almost everything I had accumulated over almost 20 years of marriage, and started over ((from a 5 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment)). I found out that "things" don't make me happy... Maybe more comfortable -- Not happy though... | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/7/2005 11:33:15 AM | This was a concern from the op and became a no me , "i am not like that thread " or calling eachother shallow etc... another gold digger thread , people express their experience and others claim those to be lies and exagerations , not mentioning genders so I will not step on toes , aww what the heck , yeah another gold digger thread .
Okay ladies yes you all (most I mean) of you say "not Me ", "I am almost perfect" , etc.. etc... this is an opinion , people write here to learn from experiences and actual thoughtful .
Why do some guys support this and continually bring this up ? Women just respond that the guys who support the statement as little loser winers that blame it on that fact because they are weak and need women to blame , blah blah blah .
Well comeon this phenomenon does exist and it is not a few , it is most , especially starting from highschool ... all guys know what I am talking about , the guy with the money and the car always had crowds of young women.
Poor girls, you say it is the guys fault for the guy being generous and the women's inate genetic defect to go on a shopping spree , us guys are so stupid and retarded , you are all sugar and spice and everything nice , no faults.... it is not your fault if we are generous , it is our stupidity , we want to please or is it thinking with the penis to buy you or are we just being our nice selves ?
I'm sorry for being pissy but I have found that the great majority of women like the money , follow the money but not necessarly first priority or use that to find a guy . When they do find that the guys had alot , they become more interested or consider the guy they just rejected , it happens to me over and over .
In some conversations that seem to go nowhere for me because I cannot get through the women just being supernice softy me , suddenly everything changes when I respond on what I do for a living and my lifestyle , that pisses me off . I can get a women interested in me as a friend then their is a pattern of favors that cost money , not necesarly loaning money but actions and things that cost money .
If money were lacking I would know or talk to less women in General, i find women at work , school , neighborhood , stores , bars , private parties even at church ... all the same .
No saying women in general are gold diggers and that is their agenda as a general but money is a big factor for a guy , most guys get their first job and try to be successful in life to be able to attract women , most6 guys understand what I am talking about.
Most guys do not care if women have or job or not , in fact most guys feel intimidated by women witrh more money and success as they since that is how alot of women categorize guy ... how successful he is ... money is a factor too, guiys have been mocked for having less than some women , guys have run into that experience , women in groups talk about how successful their mate is and belittle the guys who do not meet their expectations , I hang with female friends alot , I hear their conversations . "he works at a fast food ?" " hes has no car " , hahahaha!
Money is a factor in my experience , thier are a few women that do not care at all , they are very very few . if love were the only factor , real love, everyone would be happier .
I am celibate , if you think I use money to buy women for that . | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/7/2005 2:26:32 PM | | I could care less if a man has money, it is much more important that he have honesty, and integrity and a great personality. I do expect a man to have a job and not sit on his a$$ all day long. A relationship is a partnership, and neither partner should expect to have the other party paying all the bills. I would just like to find a decent person, that will accept me as who I am and not what I have. There are men out there that are golddiggers, just as their are women out there. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/9/2005 8:49:18 PM | LOL…Just like I thought, Splog is just making up this forum because he’s bored….go read his profile about how much stuff he has, and how many houses in so many places…and here’s a great line; “Please be aware that on the forums I will often make provocative statements to stimulate a reaction: firstly because I abhor political correctness; secondly because there may well be a grain of truth to the statements I make; and thirdly because I don't have a hidden agenda (such as trying to make the women here fall for me).”…good grief…..we are back to my question earlier as to "How do women know how much money a man makes? In order to validate this thinking" to which Splog replied that we don't have to ask, because it's evident by a man’s lifestyle...Noooo, but it can be ‘advertised’ in a very pretentious profile………… maybe you live in a trailer with your parents and work at Burger King…..see, we really have no idea....
I’m sure his girlfriend is proud to be mentioned since she must be one of the shallow gold diggers....(Ya know, since none of us women really care about anything else LOL) NICE…..

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/10/2005 7:04:01 AM | I've always made my own money I've always been independent...
Wy expect someone else to if you do..then ya your a gold digger and the realationship is usually doomed from the get go. My aunt is a gold digger and been married 4 times so if money is the only thing that can make you happy, then get off your lazy a$$ and get a job that simple really ~Britt~ | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/10/2005 4:53:25 PM | | I agree with her entirely! I am NOT LOOKING FOR MR. MONEY either. I want a guy who is honest and has a heart. Of course,clean,smart,ambitious and all the rest. But rich? Why? So that he can treat you badly. I have dated guys with money. For some reason they felt that they could even tell me when to laugh! Oh hell no! And the other thing that bugs me...is I actually tell guys honestly...I am looking for a younger guy. I like younger guys. So? I still get emails from OLD GUYS! Help! lol Vix | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/10/2005 5:44:59 PM | No, that is not true! I find nowdays i am treating the guy..go figure!
It is not having a job where you would make alot of money..it is just having a job. At least "go dutch" - pay half each. I believe if you can balance everything and work as a team anything is attainable. I fell that if one partner drains the other, even when dating, that kills the relationship potentially growing!
We all ideally should meet someone that compliments and does not demand any unreasonible requests..(i.e. be a millionaire and pay for me so i can stay home and watch T.V.) | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 11/10/2005 10:18:11 PM | Britt....I hope the comment about "getting off your ass and getting a job" wasn't directed at me since you posted right after mine....
If you've read this post from the beginning you'll notice my last post was just being sarcastic. Splog started this post just to be obnoxious obviously...when I told him it was ridiculous that women want men just for their money, I pointed out that it's ridiculous to say women won't date a guy because of this, since we have no idea how much money a man makes unless he's doing nothing but boasting about it...Splog's reply was that this wasn't true because it's easy to tell by the "lifestyle a man has"...which is not true either because he can be faking it.
Go look at Splogs profile and all he does is flaunt his money and how many homes he has, so I was completely right: He may only believe that women think that way because that is the only way he knows how to attract women, so he may in fact only attract gold diggers......his profile could not be more pretentious......
I started work on my 16th birthday and have worked ever since, so I know the meaning of the word. But I certainly am not one bit enticed by someone who goes on and on about how much money they have. I only expect for a man to have the same work ethics as me and be able to pay his own bills and live a comfortable lifestyle....it's what I do and I just want the same in return........  | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 12/23/2005 10:18:08 AM | Far as my opinion goes, I think the woman that want a MAN with TONS of money, do not have alot of money themselves, nor want to make any, be spoiled wined and dined by the guy. Like I have said many times through threads like this, we are comming upon 2006; Woman should pay alot of their own way, be 50/50 in a realationship, and last but not least who gives two shits. If he has lots of cash or not, (no cash is another story, that would be homeless) if she makes money too then like I said who cares. If men are so concerened about woman wanting them to have lots of cash then maybe he should date or have a realationship with a woman who makes her own bucks. | |

I get it now, ha ha, I guess if I were a woman I'd want a dude that had lots of money. can't blame them. got to get a better job.
Thats not true... ok, for a fue women out there it is... but for the most part it is not. If it were, I would have dates lined up around the corner. I am a truck driver. Trucking is a very high paying profession (close to 6 figures a year), but I am also gone alot. Most women would prefer having someone around, than have a man with money. I think this kills the notion that most women are only after money.

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 12/23/2005 1:05:42 PM | Having a good portfolio sure doesn't hurt. When I was in college I had no idea what people in my profession earned and then I graduated. In the beginning of working in the "real world" times were tough getting started but once getting over the hump it was smooth sailing and still is.
Having money is having freedom.
If a woman is attracted to freedom and she finds a man who can offer her freedom then I'd say go for it. I wouldn't be offended. It's a start. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 12/23/2005 1:35:05 PM | | Dont worry, there are girls out there that arent gold diggers. As for me, I would like a guy that makes enough money to support himself. I can support myself comfortably and I would like my partner to do the same. I am not looking for a support system financially when I know I can do it on my own. I guess what I am trying to say is that money in a relationship is not a big factor for me, I dont want to be their piggy bank and vice versa. I like knowing that I can support myself, but I also work damn hard to do it. To some people love is money, and to others money just pays your bills. | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 12/23/2005 5:15:50 PM | Not me . I could never understand women that are like that??? I make my own money & I support myself , don't need a man to do that lol!! Im guessing these woman are just golddiggers?? | |

| I know, women want a dude that makes lots of money Posted: 12/23/2005 5:20:00 PM | My daughter and most of her friends are like that. I'm trying to teach her that she's the only person she can ever count on forever.... and she had better have an education, etc. She thinks some sugar daddy is gonna support her for the rest of her life... ((She's 18))...Ha, ha....  | |
