| Golddiggers and paranoia
Posted: 12/3/2007 5:24:54 PM | I have found that in the beginning 95% of the time its the money.
When I get 101 questions in the beginning its easy to see what they are looking for.
Its really rough being born so good looking instead of rich.

Posted: 12/3/2007 5:27:22 PM | I suppose it's a matter of what you are looking for in a mate.
I don't watch a lot of TV ~ but happen to catch "Orange County Wife's" few days ago.
Wow! ~ The show ~ covered real life ~ men and women ~ doing their thing ~ in Orange County no less.
One couple was having a swimming pool installed ~ these are middle age folks ~
late 30's mid 40's . Spoiled women! gosh ! 150 thousand for a pool! ~ "Baby, we need to cut it down ~" "But I really want those underwater lighting effect ~"
painted up! ~ rotten to the very core. ~ It was sicking! It really was. ~
In my worst hour of need for a woman ~ I'd have to pass. These men cared about these women! ~ I'm thinking ~ you sick ~ bas`ard!
So if you are a man like that ~ there is a woman out there for you.
These women were not even pretty ~ just a lot of paint , hair and fabric. ~~
and to boot ~ "a few extra pounds still applied" ~
I had to change the channel ~ the men were making me sick ~
On a lighter note ~ I own my home ~ fact is I own everything I got ~ such as it is ~
I not proud but glad I lived long enough to pay the place off. But I still have to pay taxes ~ or guess what ~ they will take it away for me before I die , so nothing is ever really yours. ~
Golddigger ?~ no problem ~ they know not to dig around here. No gold here ~ just blood and sweat. ~dar | |

It scares me that this is the sort of image that people have of Orange County now. | |

Can you be poor and sexy? Bear with me on this response.
Throughout the years, my friends always said of me that I have "standards". What they meant was that I was always with relatively good-looking women. I never had a "dirty little secret" relationship or a "gnaw your own arm off to get away" morning. I was pretty proud of this fact. After a while, though, I realized these friends of mine were being somewhat condescending. I've now learned why, especially from reading the forums here. It seems a lot of guys put women into two categories: attractive enough for a relationship and attractive enough for sex. My two categories are equal. The condescension comes from the implication that I have a lot less sex -- or at least with fewer women.
Also primarily from reading these forums, I get the idea that a lot of women may have two categories as well. They tend to be generalized as "bad boy" and "nice guy", and I think they're more complicated than the men's categories. But, it might be possible to state them as: rich enough for a relationship and good enough (whatever other qualities are required) for sex.
So yes, you can be poor and sexy, and in fact get plenty of sex. You may not be poor and relationship-material, however. | |

cannot vouch for others. But I am immensely grateful that I don't have to look for "rich" and overlook everything else. Not into sex without a relationship either. 
On thread name however. I do think the guys are way paranoid, maybe where I live as Fl seems to be a golddigger-land. Some just plain refuse to see that there's a difference between a woman expecting them to pay for a cup of coffee if they asked her out and potential golddigging. Some are so paranoid that they talk how fed up they are with golddiggers on a 1st date (meeting). What a turnoff...I am sure they are likely the ones that end up with golddiggers in the end | |

In my male example, good-looking wasn't the only criteria, just the one that made the difference between relationship-material or not. So rich isn't the only criteria... it just is a requirement for long-term. Of course, rich means different things to different people, just like beauty does. And again, this whole premise is just drawn from reading things on here. I don't really have any personal experience with it. | |

They do not, and never will care about you. | |

Of course, rich means different things to different people, just like beauty does. seems like expecting a man to have a steady paycheck coming and his income at least slightly exceeding his bills total is equated to looking for "rich" these days quite often. I confess - this is *one* of my requirements for long-term.. Guilty as charged! | |

You mean like this?
This is an actual Craigslist post
"What am I doing wrong?
Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York . I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all.
Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?
Here are my questions specifically:
- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms
-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my
feelings
-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?
- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there?
- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?
- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY
Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth."
She's not asking too much looking for a guy who makes half a million a year, right?
That's just asking for someone with a steady paycheque. | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 10:01:05 PM | | I think I already saw a reference to such posts on craigslist on the forums. we can always find outrageous, ridiculous, psycho extreme. So? | |
|
| Golddiggers and paranoia
Posted: 12/4/2007 10:02:35 PM | It's not extreme.
Give a girl $5, she'll want $10....
Why aren't we in a paradise garden right now? Because God said "look, you'll live here in bliss and peace and harmony in my presence forever. Here there is no death, no sadness, no suffering. All I ask is that you don't eat that apple over there."
And the woman said "it's not enough" and started baking turnovers. | |

Pandora's box is hardly EVERY culture on Earth. REALLY! IFf that's your only argument, THERE there are variants on lots of other stories in every culture on Earth, too. | |

Nice try though. | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 11:16:28 PM | It's interesting, but no man would ever stoop so low to beat his child to death AND THEN demand ALIMONY from the wife after the marriage is over, because HE BEAT THE KID TO DEATH.
Women on the other hand?
