| For money or love???
Posted: 7/15/2005 9:27:25 AM | I was at work yesterday and was helping some woman with weight training and we got on the subject of men..(Men are always our topic in the gym)
I posed a question would you go with a guy for love or money???? If he was poor and would show you love would you marry him?? Or would you go for the guy who could give you everything in life you ask???? I was amazed at the responses...
Every single woman said MONEY.....they said you can fall in love later......
NOW these woman were ages 28 to 44 and I was working with 10 women...
What ever happened to love???? Do I live in a unrealistic world??? I was the only one who said love...LOL They said girl you gotta get with the system!!!!!!!!!   | |

Posted: 7/15/2005 9:53:47 AM | I have to admit that it would be fun for once to be the one to be taken care of...but I would never sacrifice love.... I have to be in love... It's what motivates me..drives me...I was in love with school and I got through it because I loved it. I love my children and thus I can put up with a lot of their immaturity and silliness..... If I didn't love a man, no matter how wealthy he was it wouldn't make a difference...
However, having said that I believe that we choose whom we fall in love with. | |

Posted: 7/15/2005 11:14:14 AM | | I think it's the women who don't want to make money for themselves who need men to do it for them. They probably don't love that much in the first place, so the idea of being with a man for his money isn't lacking anything for them. If you grew up dreaming about a wonderful life and the man was the ticket to get there, then when the first or second or third one didn't come across with the big bucks, onwards to find the next one who might. Maybe the coming generation of women who have been raised to be self-reliant financially will not look to their mate for income, but will be about love instead. Love comes first, and then if people want money, set a goal, make a plan, make it happen. Money is numbers. Love is the mystery. If you get those two turned around you have a very unsatisfying and materialistic situation. They will earn every penny they get, several times over. | |

No way I would make another life OR live-in commitment with someone I wasn't completely, utterly, jingle jangly, giddy to the max in love with. Life is too short!

Posted: 7/15/2005 11:40:41 AM | Man I wish that I was there..... They would've been hearing a few choice words from my mouth..
See, this is why even if I had money the woman would not know about it right away.. People who judge based on the wallet I would play with them and make sure thier hearts are torn out afterwards.. | |

I think one of the reasons for that response is your location. From my experience, the majority (not all, I know you are not) of people in Toronto are very materialistic. I stress people, both men and women.
I have noticed the further north you go people become much more real. Of course you have your materialistic people every-where, but I am talking in general.
Due to the population explosion here, Barrie is starting to become a competition between neighbours also. At one time it wasnt like that here.
Some of the nicest people in the world I have ever met are from the Sudbury / North Bay area. They just seem allot more laid back and not as materialistic.
I think in large cites you tend to get people competing with others in some odd paradigm that whoever ends up with the most in the end wins. Or that if your house is worth ex amount of dollars more then your neighbours you are some-how higher on the food chain.
I am not saying I wouldnt like to have money, who wouldnt?
I am saying that people who put money as their number one priority generally lack serenity, are shallow, and get way to caught up in what others think. | |

Posted: 7/15/2005 12:17:31 PM | | I have everything but the money. That's next. I figure once I have that, I'm all set. My plan has been to spend my early years on my edumacation as a student of life, because I read a very stooopid little book when I was a teenager. It was Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. Then I read the Autobigography of Benvenuto Cellini. That, plus the Phantom Tollbooth I had read as a child pretty much set my direction in life. The important things were in the heart. Money has been a difficult subject for me to figure out ways to make some that didn't conflict with the principles I pretend to have in order to get laid. I have finally figured out money but haven't exactly made any yet. I figure that when I have, suddenly the women in the gym will want me but I wont want them. She would have to be someone who knew me before I had money, or else didn't know I did. Otherwise you end up with a woman who puts up with you to get your money. That is worse than being alone. Some men want money so they can attract a mate. I think that is the worst way to attract one. But to each their own. And it's not like I have that choice. I could flash my 14 dollars and see whose eyes sparkle, I suppose. | |

| How to tell real love!
Posted: 7/15/2005 3:56:05 PM | Here is a surefire way to see if someone likes me or my money: On dates I say I drive a rubbish truck, and do not try to impress women with presents, or fancy dinners, etc.
Every once in a while , someon comes along who just plain likes me! Great, taht´s the one i was looking for! | |

Posted: 7/15/2005 8:11:58 PM | I would think if love is real you don't have to try to be the perfect person and you are accepted no matter what......
Its a nice feeling to have bad days etc and the person accepts you no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!!
Real love is also standing beside the person no matter how hard life gets.....and not running away..Not just being there for the good times...
It is when you are in your lowest moments in life that you know who your real freinds are.........and also if the person whom your dating sticks around and is a support to you ............LOL | |

Posted: 7/16/2005 12:04:40 AM | Exactly !!
Yep your right Sweetie !
And yes thats how I feel about my lady . I'll stick by her no matter what .
Sure she may not know it yet but to me shes the love of my life and she not only never needs to ask if I love her . But she can really count on me when the bad days are around too.
My lady may not know all this yet but she will find out and yep should make her smile inside and out she has this loving guy . | |

Posted: 7/16/2005 1:14:50 AM | Love definitely sweetiie.....hands down!!! Obviously, those women are shallow and insincere. That or they are afraid of being the only one that said love, fearing they will look like a fool. How sad. 
And I think arachnoidalseainme hit the nail on the head when she said:
"It's what motivates me..drives me...I was in love with school and I got through it because I loved it....If I didn't love a man, no matter how wealthy he was it wouldn't make a difference."
I totally agree with you arachnoidalseainme!! | |
