Posted: 7/9/2009 11:45:36 PM | | I have to laugh everytime I read a half way decent womans profile and their likes almost always say a few of these TRAVEL, THEATER, TENNIS, SAILING, FINE WINE, FINE DINING, ART Why dont they just write MONEY? Their all over 40 and looking for security! I bet 85% of them have been to the theater once in their life and if you poured some two buck chuck in a decent bottle they would compliment you on the wine! Theres a site for these women. It's called sugardaddy dot com but they would have to compete with the young hardbodied gold diggers there! | |

There are several women on here with means of their own to live that lifestyle.
Me personaly, I would rathe go to a live band than the theatre,and I couldn't sit through opera to save my life, but hey to each their own.
Are you interested in these types of activities that you mentioned above?Or for that matter, the type of women that also like them? | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 12:57:21 AM | I guess I don't see the same connection between the two as you do.
None of those things are really priced any different then a football game or a good rock concert.
So you saw some hot pic and checked out the profile only to feel rejected due to your own feeling of inadequacies in the cash flow department. Which in turn becomes about them wanting what you know you don't have. So obvious "gold digger"....
Maybe it's their way of filtering out the "hold my beer and watch this" types. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 1:51:14 AM | Who doesn't like fine dining? Would any1 want to eat crap (not just talking about BK burgers and fries LOL)? There are plenty of nice places to grab a meal without breaking the bank. I have very unusual taste in music, so yes, I would know the difference between Bach's symphony in C from D, opera singer Renata Tibaldi, and AC/DC versus Iron Maiden (I flew to Mexico to see them live last year). I am very aware of art and music (my two favorite subjects). I am not much of a drinker, so every1 else can enjoy the Chablis or Chianti while I enjoy some Plum wine or plum brandy, and a shot of Jagermeister!  | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 2:03:50 AM | so, is listing only free activities like: long walks on the beach, holding hands, kissing, picnics at the park while people watching, gardening, watching NASCAR on tv more enticing to read? lol I've seen the very activities you listed here on men's profiles (TRAVEL, THEATER, TENNIS, SAILING, FINE WINE, FINE DINING, ART) and to me it means that they like TRAVEL, THEATER, TENNIS, SAILING, FINE WINE, FINE DINING, ART.
perhaps there's a sugarmomma.com they can register on... | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 6:10:09 AM | | OP - women don't just write "money" instead of all those 'likes' because it's pretty universally understood - everybody likes money. Duh. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 6:20:49 AM | | Dude, listen to yourself! *lol* So she likes what she likes. So what. Encountering the line-up of interests in a man's profile turned out to be a great revealer. I often knew right away whether we had a place to start or whether we wouldn't be at all compatible. Can't expect to be compatible with them all! Made it easier to find someone who's life and interests did fit with mine. So keep on fishing. Sooner or later you'll even come across ladies who don't browse the forums and won't be privy to your publicly-posted, negative, judgmental attitude toward women who don't share the same interests as you. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 6:27:04 AM | | Well just because a women lists these interests it doesn't mean that they do them all the time or expect you to pay for them. There's a lot of interests I have that I don't do all the time. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 6:33:57 AM | From The Wedding Singer:
"I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar."
Duh - everyone likes money. According to the OP's interests in his profile - he likes Motocycles, Antiques & Travel - All of which cost money, no? | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 7:05:59 AM | My pet peeve is women that say that they love bungy jumping, and that like to live life to their fullest, then you see their photo and they are about 400 lbs. If they go off a bridge, they bridge is going down. If they go of a crane the crane is going to snap. So be realistic, at least say that you like money, fast cars, and nine inch nails.

Posted: 7/10/2009 7:25:33 AM | | I have to laugh every time I read a post by someone who is trying to come across as smart and they don't know the difference between there, they're and their. I won't pick the rest of it apart. It isn't worth it. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 7:29:56 AM | I think what the OP is saying is that these types of profiles reek of high maintenance. And, he’s probably right to some extent. But – at least give the people credit for being honest about it. I’d much rather someone come out and openly admit to being “high maintenance” then to guise themselves as down to earth and misleading potential attractions.
The reason I stated that he’s probably right to some extent is because until you get to know the person, or at least attempt to get to know them, you can never know what they’re really about. I love art – but tickets / admissions fees to museums aren’t that expensive. I like fine dining too – but I’m not going out for 100 dollar-a-plate diners three times a week. I love fine wine (actually all wine), but I’m not dropping half a year’s salary on a 1787 Chateau d'Yquem. Everything in moderation! The people who post those particular interests might have the same outlook… meaning…. They enjoy them as well, but don’t expect them on a daily or weekly basis. Nothing wrong with that. However, there ARE some who do and those are the ones you need to avoid like the plague. You’re just not going to know until to you take the time to talk to them.
Secondly, I'm not sold that "everyone likes money." I am willing to bet there are a lot of people out there who are more than happy living their lives without focusing on how much they're making, or questing to grow their accounts. In fact, you might enjoy, like, or love the things you can do and buy with money, but how do you like a simple piece of paper? | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 7:43:41 AM | Where are all these women at...i lke the same thing less the tennis lol
and in the end we all are looking for security in one form or another some it's money some it's looking into another eyes and feeling it will all be ok no mater what life throws at ya.
Neither one is right or wrong as in the end it's security. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 8:41:36 AM | Hmmm... Around here...
A cheap ticket to an OSU football game is $100
A cheap ticket to see the Phantom of the Opera was $25
The bill to a not so fine dining = $60 for two people
One at a "fine" dining = $100 for two people
Local bottle of wine (excellent one coming from the Great Lakes) = $20
One coming from some place across the world = $25
I think what I am saying is, sometimes what seems like "expensive" likes... really has no different price ticket than the not so expensive.
Also, as mentioned before, lots of women can pay for their own ways into these things. Which means they can choose to go with a partner.... or by themselves. I am guessing that some are looking for men who enjoy the same interests so they don't have to go alone so much anymore. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 9:00:02 AM | | Everything I enjoy, I have always paid for on my own. Assuming a woman who likes nice things is after your money is retarded...we do work nowadays, and if I have hobbies that I enjoy, I work to pay for them....just would be nice if a man I liked also enjoyed the same activites is all. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 10:14:26 AM | I agree that assuming a woman who likes the nice things is after your money IS a retarded position to have.
As I've said, I think the OP has made a good observation, but where he falls short is in his presumption that all women who like the finer things are materialistic, high maintenance, gold diggers - such simply isn't true.
But, it can be difficult to weed them out of those that just have good taste:
When I first put my profile up I got about 5 or 6 emails on day two. One of which was from someone out of A-town (claimed to live in the Buckhead area). Typically, I'm not one to pass judgement or make assumptions about people by where they live - but there are certain cases in which it is somewhat difficult... Buckhead is a high $$$ area. Armed with the knowledge of where she lived and after reading her profile, which clearly stated she liked the finer things in life... DID send up a small flare. But, I was open minded and willing to give her the chance to get to know me and visa versa. So, her first email askes about my flying... I am a few hours from completing my private rating (license)... I explained that I'm not completely certified yet and that it would be a little while before taking my exam and check flight. To this she replied by asking what type of plane I owned. I replied with the honest fact that I do not own a plane... to which her "reply" was a simple read/delete with no future contact.
I wasn't surprised. However, I wasn't going to make an assumption about what she was truly after (even though my gut told me otherwise). For all I knew she could have independently wealthy and not given a damn about how much I made. Despite what the profile says, you can't know until you take the time to talk to the person...
It's really pointless to try and decypher the interests people have. There isn't enough "space" on our profiles to really detail and explain them - without rambling on with a 40 paragraph profile, that is. | |

It's not that we don't have the space, the thing is most people have the attention span of a gnat.
Most commercials are 30 seconds long. Only because anything longer will lose people's attention. Profiles are pretty much little advertisements. Pictures and all. Which means, we have 30 seconds in which to capture the attention of anyone who sees it. Can only put so much information in before the gnat finds another thing to buzz off to.
It really isn't the advertisement's fault if the gnat reads things between the lines and makes up reasons why not to contact.
Despite what the profile says, you can't know until you take the time to talk to the person...
This is extremely true. But then again... if the gnat lost interest with in the first ten seconds and moves on... not much else can be done. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 10:39:16 AM | Myself and a lot of my artist friends in Dallas, TX are not "rich" but we live a full, rich lifestyle on the cheap. Travel isn't expensive when you travel close to the ground, watch for good prices on fares and rely on good guidebooks. Award winning wine (see Dallas Morning News Wine Competition for a list) can be bought for $15 or less a bottle. Art can been seen free on Dallas Museum of Art late nights and at the gallery crawls where they serve complimetary wine and crackers. Free jazz concerts each month during the summer on the DMA's back lawn - bring a picnic from Eatzies for some affordable fine food and fun times. Restaurant Week offers some of the finest haute cuisine for just $35 prix fixe. Tennis can be played at the city courts...free. Theater is affordable when you know where to look --Titus season averages $7 a ticket, Shakespear in the park is $10, and even Dallas Opera season tickets average out to an affordable $17/ticket. I don't sail, so I won't address that.
Perhaps you have to laugh at women's profiles to distract yourself from how unimaginative and miserly you are. Otherwise, you may just be jealous that these women you scoff at are more successful than you are and you resent that you have to buy THEM dinner. Your assumptions are truly appalling. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 11:59:37 AM | | Dear OP, I am impressed by your powers of deduction. LOL Your know all this from reading a halfway decent woman's profile. You may be right about some, but to generalize so is your loss in my opinion. There may be the perfect woman out there who loves to travel as you do, who enjoys the finer things in life, but because have categorized her (wrongly) as a gold digger. You will never know. Just my opinion. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 12:12:07 PM | OP; the mistake you made was to criticize women. Never ever ever criticize a woman. She's always right. Acting confused is OK. They love to explain and correct a confused man. I was married for so long, I come completely trained. If you need any advice, just ask. I was at a point where I could read my ex's mind or know exactly what to say or do and what not to say or do, just based on her body language. I can't remember the last time she yelled at me.
Only problem was that she eventually got really really bored. I didn't anticipate that being such a huge problem. So I guess I still needed just a bit more training. | |
