I disagree. I will not date janitor. At or age you are on the top of your career, if thats the best you can do... I am working hard and driven, I am looking for the same type of people and look is important too as well as brain

Well, no woman wants to be shocked, a fair bit of warning is the gentlemanly thing to do.

Don't leave the money on the nightstand, that's so tacky. This is 2006...just deposit it directly into her account.


Went out with a woman like this a while ago. She somewhat sneered when I arrived at the restaurant in a Honda as this was in Snobbsdale and I guess she was used to better wheels. We had a descent time but there was no way around it, she was after money.

I pulled up to her a few months later at a stoplight in a very nice car and her jaw just dropped. I rolled the window down and said hello and she said "when did you get this" and I had to tell her that I had owned it for years. "What?" was the comment. Told her that I drive the Honda the first couple of dates and if someone wants to go out with ME for ME, and not my job, income or something that I own, that they then will find out "the rest of the story." Hope that she learned an important lesson that day.

First impressions may not be totally accurate. Find someone you like for their personality and together hopefully the two of you can make anything you need in life happen.

Oh come on how often do you you see beautiful intelligent educated women with complete slackers and carless cashless deadbeats? quite often I say. Women are far more motivated by looks and height in a man than income and this has been proven in countless studies done.

Staying within one's social class and financial class is a compatibility issue.

I've never considered what kind of job I would expect a guy to have if I developed an interest in him.

I think I'd be more incline to consider how I feel when I'm with him than what kind of money he makes or what kind of job he does specifically.

I think I'd be more interested in just knowing that he has a good work ethic and that he truly loves doing what he does. That , I think, is a greater measure of success than someone who makes twice what he does and complains all day long about the stress of his stupid job.

It's an individual thing. But NO, I can safely say that dating isn't about money...it's about social class. Money is just a symptom of that.

For any woman who says money has nothing to do with anything then, I ask you, why does money always equal sex? Pornography...case and point...

Sorry to hear your experiences have led you to this dismal conclusion . In my mind income is just one of many factors to consider - and not the primary one at that .

actions speak louder than words -
dont ask me what i think,
just watch what i do...
then you see what is true,
but it may not suit you
but at least its the truth

money is important of course we need it 2 live! But it doesnt make u love someone properly! Well i dont think anyway. It may make u like them but thats it, if they r only interested in money then in my opinion they are not worth it & a bit shallow.

Yeah Dating is all about income, for desperate single mommys that is. Some of them are like parasites or leeches...pathetic


Jacob

This is the 3rd post I've read from you today...all of which were negative & bitter.

I'm a single mommy, though I'm not desperate, I'm not a parasite nor a leech.
My last date asked me to dinner, told me to pick a place, specifically said that $$$ was no object.

OK this turned me OFF not on. I don't care for those who flash their $$ around or attempt to prove their worth/value by how much they have materially. To which I ended up telling him this very thing when I suggested Chilis & he said that was too low scale for him. Dinner was off, we had drinks instead. I offered to pay....he said he wouldn't allow it.

Prey tell....how would that make me a desperate money grubbing leech?

Let me tell you, if EVER there were a time in life when I would consider being a gold digger, $$$ grubber it would be now. I'm a full time student, single mom, no job & NO I'm not on public assistance. Knowing the situation that I'm in I choose NOT to date. I will not allow anyone to carry me or pick up my slack because of decisions I've made that in the present have forced me to live on a VERY strict budget but in the long run will afford me the ability to not have to live paycheck to paycheck.

It has nothing to do with a woman having a child or not having a child & being single, it has to do with a woman's MORALS. If she's a user, she'll be a user with or without children.

I'm just surprised that people still ask for "steak dinners" and equate that with high end.

Dating is all about income.


where are these women you speak of? LOL I have not met any. I think "some" women might do that, but I also think you could detect that pretty quickly. I also think a lot of men do the same thing.

If you know any young cute ones that want a steak send em my way

Who cares. There's no happiness in money and you can find proof of that everywhere.

wow- it never fails to amaze me how men choose to date the most shallow, empty, stuck-up, gold-digging women they can find, and then get mad and project it onto all women. stop dating the same kind of woman and you won't keep getting the same kind of result.
as for the women who agree with that line of thinking, there's a reason why you're single. obviously the things you look for in a man aren't the right things, or those ceo's and cfo's would be chasing you right now. a title doesn't make you or anyone else a better person. a degree doesn't make you special. educated doesn't equal intelligent. and a salary doesn't make a man a Man. a job is a job.

umm.. you do know that the men get paid to do porn too, right? so, what, exactly, is your point here?

It seems for the most part, women get to call the shots during dating.

This is harsh....but true to a certain extent.
Of course the women here are going to deny it...

Only to the women who place income as an equal or higher priority to compatibility.

This is one of the few reasons why I'm glad I'm not sickeningly wealthy - I'd always wonder who liked me for ME not my moola and how many pairs of shoes it could buy.

I think dating is all about image and social status; although I think income plays a major roll in both.

For Men it is about Income, because unemployed Men have it a lot harder than Unemployed Women do.

You may be right but the only match who ever came up as 100% perfect in the POF chemistry test is so different from me it's frightening to imagine the interaction between us were we ever to meet.

He's way up there on the food chain in his management position. Doesn't smoke. Plays golf. Works out. His pic is the epitomy of a WASP marketing man. Even lives in the telltale part of town for his position etc.

Meanwhile, back in my "I take my clothes to laundramat in a shopping cart apartment," I'm watching Judge Joe Brown on Fox daytime television (Springer is up next) and am the product of a 'you've got to cough to get off' philosophy.

I thought about appealing to his sense of humour and asking him for a face to face meet [Hey babe, take a walk in the west end], but then thought better of it.

With my blind luck his company will be the next one I apply for a part-time job at.
