| Should I lie about my income?
Posted: 6/11/2005 11:10:03 PM | | Crystalise---I think the land down under is much more down to earth than USA. Other than the young people I have talked to on other forums being a bit**** sometimes, I dig your culture. Off topic, but you have a Supercross/Motocross superstar here racing in the USA. His name is Chad Reed---he makes a lot of money.---LOL | |

Posted: 6/12/2005 3:41:02 AM | I don't believe you guys and girls for a second----this thread is about as funny as everybodies profile saying they don't do any drugs (is that perscription or illegal drugs anyway)------bull crap!!---LOL---You all know darn well if you meet somebody you like, and he or she has money--you look at it as a plus (and it can be)---who are you people trying to kid here?
heck, us single people get raped by taxes every pay check, and we pay for our homes and bills all by ourself---what do you have left?--enough just to keep working. Half the reason we look for a spouse is to help get ahead.
Although I think that you've made your position quite clear in regards to the both the importance of money and the fact that you do drugs, I have to disagree with you. My profile says that I don't do drugs .... because I don't do drugs. Also, the last thing I would look for in a partner is money. I've dated rich men who were complete a$$holes. I'm not saying that all men with money are that way, but I don't look at it as a plus. When I say that I want someone to be able to pay half of the bills if we moved in together I'm referring to the bills I have... which are minimal to say the least. Someone with a minimum wage job could afford half of my bills, and if I like that person, their job and their money wouldn't matter to me at all. | |

What's the other 1/2 of your reason? Laundry?
You should change the "we" to "I" in that statement. Because, that is the absolute last reason that I desire a spouse. I'd just as soon she was a stay at home mom (then I could keep my 5 year old even more)....unless she feels like she needs to work to keep her sanity.
No, I'm not rich. My profile says "can collector" as an occupation. (I actually got one email from a woman asking if I was a prisoner......because they collect trash along the roads!) In other words........none of your business. It has no relevance to whether we want to date/talk or not. And my income? I might tell you if we get married....might not, too. If a woman wants $1,000 dresses, big rocks and a new SL600 Roadster every year........wrong guy! Wouldn't happen even if I won the lottery. | |

Yes Mom, I do smoke a doobie once in a while, and no, a rich woman is not important to me--but I would like her to make at least 30grand. I used to be quite the pot head after HS (where I barely graduated HS--not toking) through my college years where I got over a 3.0 average with two engineering degrees (yea--I had to read everything three times--but I got it). I don't do it much anymore cause I have too much to do, and it does slow me down (like POF does)--but I still enjoy it sometimes.
"Do you do drugs" is the question on the profile. It does not specify what kind of drugs. The drug companies are not any better than a pusher on the street IMO (how about those TV ads). You did not know that more people die taking perscription drugs than illegal drugs in the USA--did you?
Since the question is vague, a asprin is a drug also and you should probably put "socially" on your profile. My guess is that about 30% of the people here are on prozak (sp)--your kids are on riddelin, and I am sure there are some pretty heavy drinkers here.---Don't do drugs my butt. :)
I like you--your spunky. | |

Posted: 6/12/2005 11:17:43 AM | | I think you should leave it out all together. We judge eachother on such stupid things I think your income should only be a deciding factor when marriage is being discussed. Besides, woman that put an emphasis on only dating men of a certain income bracket are usually the ones that are shopping for a "lifestyle" not an actual partner. I have found most people to be honest but according to the forums it sounds like a lot of people lie about things like that anyway. If its something that makes you uncomfortable telling the truth about, I think its better to say nothing at all. I personally would rather date a guy who made $35,000 and is financially responsible as you seem to be - than someone who makes twice that and is in debt up to his eyeballs. | |

Geez, or put in your profile that what you make is of no concern to them. | |

Personally, I'm dating for the long term. I'm honest, so much so that if they don't like me, fine.
Life is choices.
