If 80% of the women in LA are only out for money, power or influence, I would suggest that a corresponding amount of the men are just out to get laid by the hottest woman that they can get their hands on. I do not find either of these groups to be particularly attractive in nature.

That is not a fair assumption about women. I live in San Bernardino. I like a man with ambition. It just so happens that men with ambition tend to be men with money. I don't want their money, I just want to know they know how to be somebody. So if you are questioning whether or not a woman is all about the money, here it is. After the first couple of dates, ask her to pick something up for you from the store, or ask her if she can grab the bill. I would not be offended. I would already have picked up the bill once or twice.

Generalizations are never accurate, there are always the exceptions.


i concur. there's usually more variation within a group, thna between groups.

I am so glad I fit into the other 20% of women. It does not impress me that I would be considered right off the bat as one of the 80% of "those" women. I have never judged one man by the last one. Aren't we all individuals but what chance do us nice girls who are independant have when guys thhink like that. I might as well get off here and be single with my own money, power, and influence and I don't live in Montana but am from close to there. One of the happiest times in my life was when my husband and I had nothing and we found we were happy with what we had at the time. Where and how did you come up with the figure of 80%?

She was a look but don't touch woman. We never slept in the same bed, never held hands, nothing. But her personality kept me in the circle so to speak.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You seem like a nice person. I just have to point out by your own words that you knew she was not interested in you in an intimate way.

You liked her personality so you stayed with her hoping for more. You obviously had a good time with her so it probably was money well spent because you were essentially paying for her company as a friend. Therefore you are not a victim.

since we cannot read the emails that you sent to each other then we cannot know what caused her to reply that way towards you.


Take yourself out of the victim role and feel positive that you will find the right person for you.

If you posted this looking for pity or insults toward your friend then you are not benefitting yourself in any way. You should look at this as a great time that you had and now you are looking for someone who wants to be more than just a friend.

if you feel positive then you will receive positive. if you feel negative then you will receive more negative.

the universe cannot tell the difference between what you want and what you dont want.

it brings about what you think about most.

for example...if you think about bills all the time then you will receive more and more bills. if you think about positive income you will find that the universe will start sending you ways to increase your income. it works the same way with relationships or anything else.


So feel positive. keep in mind what you want in your life and let go of the negative. if you do this then you will see more of the results you want in your life.

I will say to this statement that it appears that most of the women out here in California are gold diggers! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying "ALL" but the majority are looking for that perfect man who will pay their bills and take care of them so they don't have to do anything but look good...so if her comment offended you then I might suggest taking a long look at yourself and seeing if you are one of those or if you can say that you don't date a man based on his appearance or his status or his $$$$$$......if you don't then why worry about what others say

Absolutely no offense intended by my response:

People, such as yourself, make gold diggers gold diggers.

Not saying you deserved it or anything, just saying that whatever mindset or compulsion put you in the situation of paying for her and buying her things is the reason that they exist. That's their "in".

It's like asking "what makes scammers scammers?" The answer is: People that get scammed.

If there is no one to scam, scammers don't exist. If there is no one to gold dig, gold diggers don't exist.

Glad to see you moved on though.

THIS IS FOR ALL THE WOMEN OUT THERE "THE REAL ONES" NOT THE NASTY GOLD DIGGERS THAT CAN'T WORK FOR THEIR OWN MONEY. WOMEN THAT GO AFTER A GUY JUST BECAUSE HE HAS MONEY ARE NOTHING BUT CHEAP LAZY WHORES WHO CAN'T MAKE THEIR OWN MONEY AND TREAT MEN LIKE SHIT. SO AS FOR YOUR MESSAGE , ALL WOMEN ARE NOT EVIL THEIR ARE SOME REAL ONES OUT THERE WHO ACTUALLY LIKE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR MAN IN ALL WAYS AND AREN'T GOLD DIGGERS...MONEY MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT SOMEONE YOU LOVE TO SHARE IT WITH....SORRY FOR THE GUYS THAT GOT BURNED BUT DON'T BE BITTER. FINDING THE RIGHT GIRL IS THE SWEETEST REVENGE.....GOOD LUCK

It is your own fault. It is WAR out there.

A Woman's job is to get the guy to spend all his money on her trip/clothing/jewelry.

A Man's job is to get the vagina.

The key is to let her smell the money, but never spend a dime on her. If she does not like it then kick her to the curb.

A woman is like a bus. There is one that comes by every 15 minutes.

Hey,,,with this nickname you wouldnt believe all the emails I get from hot young girls looking for a sugar daddy even though I make no claims to being rich (Im not),,,,I would rather spend my money on a 300 lb girl with a mustache who has a fun personality and a heart of gold ( it would be a platonic date of course). I cant stand gold diggers,,,,,,

I read your post and did it occur to you to :
Ask where you stood?
I also noticed that she was quite older than you and from a different era and it had a different dating ethic. Women of that age were brought up not to give it up before they walked down the aisle. In 2.5 years -- did you ever discuss marriage?

You also dumped her in an email-- sounds to me like the communciation wasn't so great if you had to do that as well..
Good Luck.

it's nice to know That i'm not the only one that was Blinded By Love...
and guess what, Got ya Beat in the email ct......over 5500 in 3 years...

i Too went thru something simaliar but not to your extreme.
i Fell HARD for this woman, Got promises of marriage, dated somewhat
For 2 and half years. the Worst part was she could read me like a book
and saw my Good natured heart to help a woman in distress. She has a abusive
hubby and he didn't give a Rats Ass about the family. so if she couldnt pay a bill
and i had it i helped, And she knew i would, if i had it. That Went on for 2 years then she return the engagement ring and stopped tellling me of her finacial woes. so not much more help but in the end she moved out of state.
Now Dont get me wrong, i Still Love this woman and deep inside she's Really
an outstanding person to meet and know. when we were together the time
and connection was beyond the usual. It Was just the circumstances and how
she delt with her life at the time. i don't know if my bringing it to her attention
helped her, but i do know it cost me her love and trust and a Future with her in the end.
yea, a hard lesson to learn, the Cost was high and more then i wanted to pay,
but worth it in my book if we both learned anything. The only thing i regret is,
She considers me just another one of the guys that hurt her. Go figure!!!

So i'm greatful That some people are one way and others another.
it just Makes Life more interesting. i'd hate to be on a road that didn't have some
bumps in it now and again. i would feel like i was dead if we didn't have those bumps
and Curves.

The next woman that came along, because of that incident, Asked for nothing and even REFUSED any help from me and Gives instead.
just what i think i need, Someone that cares and knows what
True Love and commitment Means and stands behind that.
i may not be "in love" with the new lady like i am with my Ex,
but she sure is an asset. And yes, She knows all!!
May or may not be forever, but it's great to know, that i'm not
What my Ex thinks i really am after all.

Good Luck OP.

I agree. I do not know what women want, but it sure ain't money and it sure is not love.
Is is safe to gather women (in general) do not know what they want?

I must say having been a golddigger I do not believe there is any truth to the statement that "80% of the women in L.A. are Goldiggers.
I prospected the mountains of Southern California for many years during the early to mid 80s' and I have to tell you while digging for gold I NEVER met a lady from L.A.
I met plenty of guys from San Bernardino and Riverside. A few from Orange Co. and even a couple from Arizona but never a woman let alone one from L.A.
I therefore state with a fair amount of certainty that 99.9% of Golddiggers are men!

Wow. You took the time to actually count how many emails you exchanged?

You ask what constitutes what a golddigger is? And quite honestly, Im going to flip it around for a second and give probably a more unfavorable opinion..

You went with this woman for over 2 yrs, spent money on her, (you didnt elaborate if she ASKED for such things as cruises, diamonds, money), it seems it was all done on your own free will. I dont see that as her being a golddigger. I see that as a man who might have been a little careless and flamboiant with his money. Generious if you will. She obviously accepted your genorosity. Now, if she had asked for these things, then I might lean more towards golddigging. However, you were in a relationship with this woman, and even though she wasnt giving it up, you still bought her nice things.

The only thing I think this woman was wrong of, was to blurt out "you are nothing without me". Seems pretty out of line.


Rather I have run into very pleasant women, reluctant to see me spend money at an upscale restaurant, etc.

While I think its great if you have money, it seems you might be the one too fixated on the money issue. As you seem to mention this many times, and like to "flash" this capability alot. I would tone it down and maybe let the woman get to know the man that can show her affection. Not money at an upscale restraunt.

Myself, Ive been called a golddigger by the ex husband because I want him to step up to the plate in regards to child support and his neglect of our daughter for 5 yrs. I get called that and I Words me nothing to me. Ive got thick skin and can handle it.
