Is money really that important ladies?
Posted: 10/26/2009 7:14:52 AM
I do refuse to date the homeless or the guy who still lives with his mother. I also refuse to date drug dealers or mob bosses. But you would be surprised at how many men will state how much they make after I tell them I am not interested. As if the problem is they are poor and NOT the fact I am not physically attracted to them or mentally. Or the number of men who will whisper in my ear how they can take care of men when I walk by. I assume that means financially. Don't think men will not try to use money to impress a woman. If you think they don't you are a lie..... or lying to yourself.

I'm responding to the original post ... and that poster no longer has an active profile so I have no idea if it was male or female. It appears to be male and since it talks about "retirement" money I'm assuming that person was of "retirement" age.

Money is important to the extent that a person can fully take care of themself on their own. If a man cannot do that, then I'm not going to be inclined to be interested. Being able to take care of yourself and meet your needs is something I bring to the table and expect the same of others.

So for me, money is important to that extent.

Since this is in the over 45 forum, I think that makes a difference. People in their 50's should try to consider how it will be possible for them to retire.

Sure money is not important when we are in our 20's and we have our lives ahead of us to spend like there is no tomorrow, but I really think it's a different story later in life.

I think you are missing the point, men like sex, like women like security. They have to feel safe.

Some women - maybe far too many believe that a man must have as much money and assets as she does - but it is just fine if a man has more in assets and money than she does.
This is an obvious and indefensible Double Standard.



You may very well be right. So I should date men who live with their mothers?? Since you seem to have a clue that we women dont. Why not enlighten us. What should I look for in a man? PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME. I cant consider his ablity to take me out. Most men arent interested in clothes and shoes as I am. So should that is off the list. I have dated a great many men in my life but funny thing is never one who is a read such as myself. About ready to mark that off the list.

I often get the feeling men think women's list should be as follows:

Men who are interested in me.

Well if money is part of the relationship, then forget it, I dont want it. I dont want a man wanting to be with me for the money, and I certainly wouldnt want to be with him for the money. I mean come on, you must have more self respect than that. Yeah, when I see a 25 yr old marrying a 65 yr old for his money, then we all know why, right? And some women will do that, but to me there is LOT more than money and I do resent the fact that you pose this question thinking all women are looking for money. The man I loved the most in my life had no money at all, and I would never trade a day I had with. We had 20 lovely years together poor at a church mouse. You need to get a life. If women only love you for the money, or marry you for it, or just want to be with you for it, then something is wrong with YOU sweetie....not them.

Money is important to Warren E. Buffett.
