Posted: 4/28/2008 2:46:23 PM | | Having created a certain quallity of lifesatyle for myself, the financial stabily of a future partner is important. I believe this applies to men as well. How many men or women out there these days are able or willing to cover the costs of a travel partner for example? As people get older and have paid for thier homes and such, they often are not willing to share what they have worked hard for with someone who has no financial stabilty. I have often heard male friends comment on how they would not partner with a women who is not financial stable and able to manage her finances. Well the same applies to stable women. | |

Imagine someone wanting you only for that? I pity the doctor, if she ever finds one, when the day comes where he discovers that was his only appeal to her.
Ugh....you were lucky she showed her true colours so quickly.
Here's to Karma!  I hope it exists.

Posted: 5/13/2008 11:54:23 AM | Quetsion for the women. Here is a MAJOR eye opener for everyone of you. It might even get you to do some MAJOR soul searching.
What would you do if you were homeless and living on the street and had just enough money to keep from starving and you saw a guy that had the most perfect personality and heart and he also lived on the street.
Would you give him a chance even if he couldn't work???
Would you dump him after you got a job that was bringing in enough money to survive a lot easier and better and he was SERIOUSLY NOT ABLE to work???
This is my philosophy: We all prevent our selves from being happy 100% when we consider money in any relationship especially when you want the person to have just enough to pay his or her own bills or more.
Money should have no bearing on dating someone unless that person is using you. if they aren't using you for money then who gives a **** about money??? certainly NOT me!!!!!! I WISH MONEY and the need for it DID NOT EXIST!!! | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 12:24:52 PM | Do I believe woman that say money isnt a issue...Nope..Heck no...
Oh its about heart , blah blah ..Money isnt everything...It sure is if your marry into it!
If a guy drives a new shiny Corvette, dresses nice, has a great job and personality vs...A guy that drives a Ford Pinto, works as a mechanic, dresses very casual and has a great personality ...Who are you going to choose?...Be honest..Cmon
This crap, "Money doesnt matter is for the birds"...I like money...Period...Reality is reality | |

Sure.

Nope, but I wouldn't move him in either, and anyone I dated would be hard pressed to do that - they'd be busy trying to take care of themselves (as I would) somehow. Define "not able to work".
This is my philosophy: We all prevent our selves from being happy 100% when we consider money in any relationship especially when you want the person to have just enough to pay his or her own bills or more.
If I am self sufficient, then I expect someone I date to be also (however legally he chooses to accomplish that). Circumstances happen, life happens - but it's not life, it's how we react to life. For me, that's the determining factor - and no, I wouldn't want to move in with someone else if I couldn't contribute either.
Money should have no bearing on dating someone unless that person is using you. if they aren't using you for money then who gives a **** about money??? certainly NOT me!!!!!! I WISH MONEY and the need for it DID NOT EXIST!!!
I agree with you that money shouldn't be a factor - however in my case it means it shouldn't be discussed, mixed, or expected. You take care of your stuff, I take care of mine - when we're together it's all us, not what we make or how we choose (individually) to live. Money and love/family/friends do not mix. End of story.
If a guy drives a new shiny Corvette, dresses nice, has a great job and personality vs...A guy that drives a Ford Pinto, works as a mechanic, dresses very casual and has a great personality ...Who are you going to choose?...Be honest..Cmon
Depends who's hotter and who I like more, to be honest. End of the day, he goes home to his own place, in his Pinto - so how he lives isn't a factor for me as long as HE'S happy with it. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 12:53:53 PM | OK racer, I will come on.
The guy who drives the shiny Corvette could end up being a jerk......and the Pinto guy could be a real gem. I will choose the one I am attracted to, have chemistry with and have fun with.
I will never turn down a wonderful man who is poor. Of course, like alot of women on here have said; he has to have a job that pays his bills.
Money isn't everything. Yes it is the root of alot of issues in a relationship but the two people involved have to be on the same wave length as far as spending out of their means. I don't have to be showered with alot of things............I just want a man who loves me for me and that I honestly can get along with.
The whole idea of a relationship is the compatibility. If you are happy staying at home watching movies or just being together; who cares how much money they make. As long as the bills are paid, you can have a great life doing all the free things in life. Going for walks, picnics, watching TV, anything as long as you like being together.
I was brought up very poor and I continue to not need to be impressed with material things. | |

I'm sorry racer, gotta upset your applecart here...
Me? I'd take the dude with the Pinto and the mechanics job because he'd be FOR REAL. White collar dude with a 'Vette? I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to pull on his tie and I'd be scared of putting wrinkles in the "Vette's" upholstery. I'd never be able to relax and enjoy myself.

I earn enough so I don't care if he's unemployed. If he has a Pinto, then I definitely will be more interested in him. A guy into classic cars is much more interesting to me than some guy who drops a lease on a shiny new car to impress the women. Shiny new Corvette does not mean they have money, you know, it means they know how to get credit.
I prefer casual guys over a fancy guy anyway.
But, all women are different -- please remember that. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 6:39:38 PM | Thanks racer, I guess I should clarify when I say a poor guy,,,,,,I don't mean destitute.
Money to pay the bills and food but doesn't need to have tons left over.
There are times when I have heard that having alot of money creates problems. (Not that I would know personally, lol) So who knows but the everyday blue collar guys are much more real and down to earth so they will always get my attention first. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 7:57:50 PM | It does matter....I met one man who kept telling me how his old girlfriend bought all his furniture and his clothes. He talked about it so much it seemed he expected me to buy him everything too. The man made twice what I did and yet never had any money. Couldnt tell what he spent it on since everything he owned, the ex girlfriend bought. (the furniture was beat up and worn out and only 4 years old at the most)
I've worked hard for everything I have. At this age, I dont need a man who cant take care of himself. Sorry but I dont have respect for a man who just mooches off women. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 8:32:22 PM | Geez, "The Pinto dude is winning hands down"...Hows that work? Im sorry, but I was raised to enjoy the good things that hard work can bring a person...I was raised to prosper not be a dead beat...After 20 years of hard work, shouldnt I enjoy the rewards..I think so...
Some woman claim money makes no difference to them...Ok fine...There are plenty of woman that do enjoy a guy that makes great money and treats them well, too...Yeah yeah...Gold-diggers...A smart guy knows how to treat a gold-digger...  | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 6:41:13 AM | | You know, what we say in here is one thing. It's called reality my friends! If any person, man, woman, or wombat.....was presented with the opportunity to leave a 9 dollar and hour jabroni for a millionaire, they simply wouldn't be human if they didn't at least contemplate the offer. Say all you will that you wouldn't. Until the offer is before you, its all speculation. Hey, Ed Mcmahon was in my mailbox today, telling me "You may have already won 10 million dollars". Now watch the emails come rolling in. heh.... | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 6:48:55 AM | Well money is a factor for me......He better have some to pay his bills
I worked hard for my money(I sense a song coming on) and I'm not about to support someone at this stage of my life no matter how 'SWEET" he is. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 7:08:39 AM | Its not the main criteria for most women when picking a mate. It does have some bearing, but its not as extreme as some men think.
I would no longer consider dating a man with no job, as when I was younger I went out with a man who was on benefits... what a boring time I had sitting in night after night with him sponging off me. I dont want to repeat that experience again.
Ive also noticed that women who are looking to have a family are attracted to guys with some money coming in, which is a sensible choice when you want a child to survive. | |

Yes...and normally...that would be the jerk....
You all are correct..it has nothing to do with a Pinto vs. Corvette....it's who the jerks are...because we all know that they are the ones that women want.....right??
I am a baaaaad Mushroom and I need to be punished | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:10:47 AM | To answer your question, I can Truly say when I am find a man that I am interested in
I dont really care how much money he has, Money can not buy a good personality, Money can not buy a good heart, Money can not buy a sense of humor, Money can not buy a caring person.. So, no to me money is not a factor... It's a shame that there are women out there that only want men for money.. I am a good Christain woman, for me
I like a note or an email saying hello and your thinking about me, a flower picked from the ground is nice.. | |

| for the ladies....can you TRULY say money ain't a factor?
Posted: 5/14/2008 8:14:51 AM | | Yes..money is a factor. If you don't make enough to support yourself, feed yourself, pay your own rent, car payment and have enough left over to fill your gas tank, then don't call me. If you can do that then please contact me. That's all I want. I'm not someone's meal ticket and I don't need someone else to be mine. Men want equality..well there ya go... | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:25:30 AM | As long as he can support himself and still have a couple bucks left over to take me out once in awhile and all the other things are there...personality, chemistry, sense of humor etc.... then i don't care how much money he has. As long as he makes his money 'legally' its all good!!
If he happens to have millions good for him! Its not mine nor would I expect anything him to provide for me. If he choose to take care of me and provide me with extravagant things then BONUS!!
End of the day, I just want a nice man that can support himself, make me laugh, connect with me intellectually and physically, accept me for who i am, and that will walk along side of me through the rest of lifes fabulous journey!! Ya, money would be nice....but NOT a factor in the choosing of a date/mate...for me anyway.
as always, just my opinion | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:28:09 AM | Money TRULY is a factor.
For me, a man does not have to have an abundance of money or money to pay my way...but he must have money to pay his own way, both on dates and if it were to go further, in a life together. I have a great job, pay my bills and can afford a few extravagances...it would be nice to find someone who could do the same. | |
