| How important is money?
Posted: 5/16/2008 6:46:23 PM | | When I was younger, I have to admit I didn't care about the money, or who did what for a living, or my way off future for that matter. But as I get older, money does matter more now. I couldn't be with someone that wasn't financially stable where there was no future. | |

How important is money?
Try living and paying your bills without it...it's not rocket science.
Anyone who says money isn't important? Probably doesn't have bills to pay. Is anyone looking for a prospective partner who CAN'T pay their own bills? Most likely not. Doesn't make them a gold-digger, just makes them sensible and not looking to support someone else that's capable of supporting themselves in the first place. Like I said, it's not rocket science here. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 7:57:15 PM | | Strength of character is probably your biggest asset, because it can be applied to many things and not just getting women to like you. However money is extremely important because it allows you many freedoms and therefore better choices for you and your family. If you follow the rule that you should always do better for yourself than the money will come if you work towards becoming better at whatever it is you do. I know lots of men that lost a lot of money chasing women, but I do not know anyone that lost women chasing money. Stay away from gold diggers, they are never worth the trouble. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 9:03:29 PM | Well, I have been on both sides of the spectrum. I have held a full time job and done all of the work at home, and supported a man. I have also been involved with a man where we shared monetary and household duties together.
The money is an end to a means.
I would much rather be with someone who has common goals with me in our spending. The amount he makes doesn't really matter as long as we are working together towards having a good life,,not a lavish one, not a poverty ridden one..
just a normal, average, good life. Full of laughter and love!
If you are meeting women who only concern themselves with the amount of money you make then you need to be patient until less materalistic ones come along. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 11:49:12 PM | Let's say you see two women.
You are interested in both, and both like you. One is beautiful one is average.
Would that sway your opinion?
How can the average one compete? I guess this really all depends on the person. I am sure you can find a way to SHINE! Good luck. | |

Posted: 5/17/2008 4:16:58 AM | | I have always thought that money is absolutely, fundamentally, unimportant. Whenever I say that, though, women crucify me. I guess it's another reason why I just don't get along with single women in general. They think that money is important and look for a guy that can provide. Also, for what it's worth, every one of the married women and the engaged women where I work think that money is very important. That is, you must marry rich, if you're going to marry. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 11:47:00 AM | I guess this is really two questions.
How important is money in general for your own life?
How important is money in general for your dating life?
The first is an answer only the individual can give.
The second seems to be drawn across gender lines. If you are a woman, it doesn't really matter how much money you make, as long as you are considered physically attractive by the man in question. If you are a man, it matters a great deal, who you can secure as a mate is directly related to your earning power and, unfortunately, how you earn that money.
There are some places in the US, and some specific unique circumstances, where a janitor can make six figures. It doesn't happen often, but it happens in a few cases.
If you make six figures in yearly salary, that's going to attract a woman. Until of course she finds out you are a janitor. That's where most women will cease being interested.
If you are a man, money matters a lot for dating, but it's also important how you make the money too. | |

However, that's what these sites cater too...and those women(in the mainstream) tend to not have overcome their natural inclination to seek a mate who can provide...which is not surprising cosidering most of society tends to re-inforce this natural habit right from birth. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 12:25:54 PM | Completely agree that money is quite important . . . I mean he does not need to be rich, but he has to know how to work and earn a comparable income. Otherwise, down the road it will be the largest argument had. In the beginning, if the man can't afford it, he may end up that way down the road and it is something that a woman needs to think about and be prepared for . . . leeches are hard to get off (if you know what I mean) . . . and this works both ways.  | |

Posted: 5/22/2008 8:05:05 PM | | A man should be strong enough to be able to provide for his family. It is fact that marriages end up in divorce court because of finanical trouble between couples. I would not want to be with someone that is not financially stable, how much fun can that be? What kind of life could we have? and the future cannot be too bright. Money is survival. | |

Posted: 5/23/2008 10:41:36 AM | A woman who requires that her potential bf must have a job and be able to support himself makes sense. However,
I don't make that much myself.. My pay isn't that bad for somebody who just got out of college. It is my first job afterall. it doesn't matter because I'm pretty good at saving money. and I don't spend frivelously. The way I see it is if you're dating a woman who requires you to spend lots of money on her. Or make a certain amount, or have a prestigous career, You're better off spending your money on a prostitute. The sex will be alot better and the prostitute doesn't care what you do for a living, what kind of car you drive, or how much money you make as long as you have enough with you to cover the hour. and you don't have to worry about any messy breakup or a costly divorce. A woman who only dates you because you have good earning power is no better then a prostitute. She wants you for your money, That's it. Either go to a hooker or find a woman who isn't a bottom-feeding status seeking golddigger. | |

Posted: 5/23/2008 2:00:32 PM | It became a central issue in my last relationship. At the time I was a financial mess. I NEVER asked nor received any handouts. I always paid my way. But I still needed some guidance as to how to get myself together financially.
But a woman does not want to be anchored down to a guy who can't take care of himself. It shows that he is not ready to be a provider. You have to show that you are thinking long-term and have a plan for the future. You don't have to be hella rich but at least show that you are can keep a roof over your head. | |

Posted: 5/23/2008 2:28:26 PM | Wow I started this topic like 10 months ago under a different handle and it's still going! Crazy!
Thanks for the input people.
I've gotten a better job since the time I posted this, so things should be looking up financially, but I still won't be lighting the hearth with any $100 bills  | |
