Drug dealers actually don't make that much money unless they are big time. Apparantly most drug dealers still live with their moms.
Pimps also dont make much because street prostitutes dont make much.


and sometimes their moms live with them and you left out escorts. Stateside I'd imagine there's a market for pimps.

They just like to spend money on getting their nails and hair done every other week, eating out every night, getting expensive cars, jewelry, but they won't open their wallets when you go out with them. I have seen it all.


Well baby you have me hot but not in a good way! What the hell kind of stereotypical comment is this? I work incredibly hard everyday and I try to provide a good life for my kids, so is it important to me that who I date and potentially fall in love with would earn a decent living....absolutely. Not because I want to be taken care of , I do that just fine on my own, but because whether anyone wants to admit it or not money is important and the lack thereof can destroy a relationship faster than infidelity. I expect someone to be my equal in ambition, not necessarily income. I genuinely feel bad for men because it is so expensive to go out. I recently spent the weekend with someone and I offered to cook one evening so we didn't have the expense of a meal and I bought breakfast even though he adamantly protested. I have no problem with renting a movie or playing a game listening to music at home for a date, it can actually turn out to be much more fun if you get the right kind of game! Sugar I don't know what kind of women you have been dating but you need to lose some of that venom and date a country girl!

Yes, pretty much, we are all after your cash and possessions one way or another.

Some will come out and deny it. Those are usually the worst offenders.

When I was living with my most recent ex I was dabbling in Budhism. Money does not bring happiness and if you do not agree, look at how many credit cards you have in your wallet/purse right now. How many are maxed out? How much do you have to pay a month? Is it enough? Do you pay all of your bill, or just the minamum?

Yes I have a job and I earn enough to cover my bills and still go out and live life. I have a car, it is nice, it runs. I am happy. Not content, just happy.

Just cause you have more than you ever need in life does not make you happy, and lacking happiness leads to messy divorces.

Most of the people I know personally make from 28,000 to 60,000.


You need to get out more or find a better dating site!

"But yeah a lot of horrible people are millionaires, and most of these men do have legit jobs (lawyers, doctors, businessmen) they are just BAD PEOPLE, it has nothing to do with their occupation"

^^^ what a daft comment! because people have money, doesnt make them bad.... unfortunately it makes them vulnerable to being taken for a ride by the wrong women/men.

J.K Rowling - Multimillionairess.... make her a bad person does it? No.....
It just means she successful.....

Whatever you have... there will be someone somewhere, lurking to take it off you.... you just have to look out for them.....

LOL Broward. I was begining to worry about you and thinking about sending out a search party for you. :)

Maybe it's that the cost of living is lower in Columbus, not sure. But I have rarely met anyone that was above the 100,000 mark. Even when I look at the jobs in my company very very few of them are at that point and that includes all the programers I know. Now my friend that worked on Shadowbane as a lead programer... yeah he might make more than that, but I've never asked him.

Most of the guys that make more than 100,000 I wouldn't be very interested in as I would not be able to keep up with their lifestyle in spending. I wouldn't feel comfortable or equal since I only make about half of that. Another issue with the higher income bracket is they have to work long weeks to make that money. I like my 40 hour week and keep it that way... I'd like a guy to do the same.

I don't think it's because of the money, though!

I'm in San Jose, wondering what to do with the rest of my life.
I have a flakey job, an old car and I'm renting somebody else's house.
I'm waiting for the avalanche of women to descend on me.

*LOL* Are we still beating this dead horse?.....Face it, people.....as long as there is a breath of air to breathe there will be bashing of the genders......it thoroughly sickens me to read post after post of men bashing women and women bashing men. We will never be able to change these peoples' minds so why bother? Mr. X doesn't want to hear that not ALL women are after his or any other man's money, she only wants to make sure that he's self-sufficient, as she is.......and Ms. Y doesn't want to hear that not all men are ***holes that are only out for the sex and then he poofs out of your life..... it's a vicious circle, people.......makes me wonder how the human race lasted this long. I will NEVER understand why people tend to group an entire gender into one negative catagory.

Well that's a bit of a change then... if you ever end up here in Ohio you know how to find me. :)

Ironically I'm talking about the possibility of visiting San Jose in the summer. It's dependent upon that programer friend I mentioned... he's on the top list for a job as a lead programer on a new MMO out there.

I have to agree with you Just2much, I have seen decent women on here too, but I have also seen women on here that require that you own your own home and car and I even had a lady that I met for coffee ask me for my financial statements for the past 3 years. I have also seen where women are looking for a man to pay for their kids college. It said something like must make 70.000 per year.

If some stranger calls you on the phone and starts asking about your financial status you hang up why would a woman who "might" be interested you be treated any differently?

I'm guessing that having a house means somewhere to live.
A job and car go hand in hand at an age when most men are finished school and/or working.

Pretty sure there's a do you have a car selection on the profile creation page here on pof and so it would seem a common requirement for either sex.

I think having all three or least one shows you are financially mature. You have some sense in your head that wow life isnt about free rides. Responsibility can show a woman a lot about a man. Gold diggers are after your cash or what you can buy for them. Their attitude is "have money, spoil me and you will get all the p*ssy you need"

I could be wrong, sometimes I am and not afraid to admit when I'm wrong!

Isn't that judging a book by it's cover? Judging a person by their finances? Just a simple harmless question or two is all!

My mom was a nurse in a nursing home. How much did she make in a year? I don't know, but she was my mom and I still loved her the same if she was making 12,000 a year or 100,000 a year. She was still a smart woman, helped me with my homework, and still worked the 3rd shift as a nurse.

My dad worked at a Glass factory for many years. How much did he make in a year? I don't know. I still respected him and loved him as my dad whether he was volunteering or getting paid to work there. He's long since been retired.

My sister works as a corrections officer in western New York. How much made a year? Don't know! I still talk to her, laugh with her, spend holidays with her at her house. Do the birthdays with my nephew.

My ex girlfriend worked human resources in western New York. No clue what she made in a year either. I knew she was working, but what she got paid I still have no clue. We still went and sang duets during karaoke, she introduced me to Bingo, hit the casino, had FUN. She worked, and since I wasn't I took on the role of housewife and cleaned the house, took out the trash, did laundry, mowed the lawn (when she allowed me since she loved mowing the lawn).

So the guy makes 100,000 a year. Is there more to him than his job and 100,000 a year income? Kick a$$ sense of humor? Makes you laugh or cry? Really awesome guy? Close with his family? Good with kids, you should see how he is with his nephews and nieces? "This guy makes the BEST Spanish rice I've ever had!" He likes some of the games you (you have listed in your profile) like and would attend a fair at the drop of a hat for one of them.

You'll never know, because the hang up is his yearly income! He's being judged by his cover and not what's on the inside that makes him who he really is.

Again, not singling you out. The only way to learn is ask questions!

I'll take Book covers for $60o Alex!

Well, no, I'm only here on and off.
Technically I live in Idaho but I'm staying in Seattle on weekends and holidays.

The mobility puts women off and I discovered this weekend at speed-dating that it's yet another "red flag" of a married man cheating on his wife. Yuk yuk.

I've entered a period of resignation, I guess.

If it's a choice if unpredictable hormonal women and questionably good sex, or work, I'll take work. It's better for my ego.

I have a suggestion....If a profile request these, (car,house, mucho money)...and you don't meet these pre-requisites, don't respond I would imagine that a woman who is REALLY looking for all of these would go to a site that caters to the wealthy and the "Gold-Digger" type. This is just a site full of , so kick back and enjoy the ride..

I can't blame you a bit. I choose playing World of Warcraft over going out with selfish, jaded, angry men that can't figure out how to get a woman off. :D

I got married by default.
My wife proposed and I went along because it was easy.

I never dated that much, I pumped my time into work and school.
So I always wondered what might have been if I'd had the balls to date.

Now I know.
It's not that much different.

That's one reason I like this site.
It's funny but it's also a daily confirmation of my recent experiences.

Hi everyone:
I'd never in a million years think I was being scoped for my assets by a statement from anyone in that aspect.
Actually: "They're just pre-screening" Caveat Emptor...... the evil ones do lurk on the net with bad intentions and women should be wary of the chronically unemployed.
Since Im the guy that worked all my life and watched women support lots "little men" that contributed little and consumed far more.......at least some of em learned offa the mistakes of their sisters

I keep everything valuable buried in a lead box, under the concrete sidewalk, and have the spirits of evil gnomes protecting my goodies..... Good luck potential "gold diggers"

At least someday anyone that needs to know about assets will know is that I'm just a guy that can stand on his own two-feet and thats what they'll really be attracted to anyhow huh?

In real life, I'm so tight I squeak when I walk I doubt if they're asking about my assets because they want em. I just think they're using plain old common sense.

Bye bye everyone

I have an execellent job, a vehicle, a house and have no debt, am I going to go for guy who has nothing if he is over 35 years old??? Where has he been throwing his hard-earned money?? If he has no job, no vehicle, and no house, is he after my assets especially if he has lived off women all his life? What I believe in my culture is men should be a supporter an provider. If they don't agree, then I am not their type, they can go look for those women who desperately need to have men around, and those women will do anything to keep the men cause they will be lost without them. I have seen those kind of women, and those women always meet those LOSERS who used & abuse them, then they will start whinning. Hey why whine if you allow it to happen.

I will always find men who are the same level as me or higher, who have an excellent head on their shoulders. At my age, I have no time for LOSERS. Anyway, I have never have time for them cause I am too smart. I have excellent head on my shoulder. For far, I haven't date anyone below my level.

I realized that those people who are against what my preferences are, do not have the same level like me.

Most of my male-friends and my female-friends who are the same level as me or higher, agree with me cause that is why we are friends. Don't expect us to date someone who sleep in the suitcases, sleep on the street, has no jobs, do not take care of their hygiene & health (stinky), who are moocher, ................

No, just making sure that I don't need to extend loans to a potential mate or put up with him trying to trick me out of my money.

I would not date a woman who has no job, no schooling, no place, car, etc.... Any woman over 25 should at least have their own place and transportation. I dated a woman without a car one time and would not want to do it again. When she no longer wanted to see me (Went AWOL / broke up without contact), I wrote up a fake contract titled "Davis and Bud's Cab Company, ATTN: Contract Retracted/Invalid ".
