Men that brag about money in an attempt to attract woman.Page 1 of 9    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Why are there so many men on this site that just assume woman are looking for a man that has alot of money? Aren't they wise enough to know they are only attracting the worst type of females? Don't you think if a man actually did have alot of money he wouldn't be boasting about it on the internet? Boys use your brains and attract woman with your personality and wit. Don't sell yourself short just to make woman want you. You might as well say I have nothing to offer you but money so come and get it!!!! It's such a turn off. Raise your self esteem and allow others to accept you for you.

They are actually in homeless shelters sneaking in using the secretary's computer after hours to write some made up profile about how wonderful they are, how much money they make and what good jobs they have.... I think it's called fishing.. LOL

Most men in general brag about all the toys they possess. For me, that is the biggest turnoff. I’m more impressed by character and personality than I am by possessions or so-called “social status.” If you want to wow me with your car, put an “e” on the end of it and it should spell CARE. When we go out, let’s go where the two of us can talk – perhaps a quiet table, a picnic, or an elevator trapped on the 24th floor briefly).

I agree.. I can't stand a man who brags.. or everytime you say you did something.. he's done it bigger and better.. WHY does it have to be a competition?? I get to a point I just don't say anything about what I do, what I have or anything else because so many insecure men have to try and PROVE they got it all and can do it all.. and they are ALL THAT AND a bottle of pop!!!

Well unfortunately there are still alot of women out there that just want the men with money....and they don't care about anything else.....and there are men out there that totally enjoy just spoiling their women and don't care what others think about them... hey let the two be happy. In my experience i didn't know he had money until after we were married and we went on many trips together but when we got divorced it was thrown up in my face how he paid for everything....hey he knew i didn't make as much as him(he ,made at least 5xs as much money as I) maybe when he had me pay for 1/2 of everthing down to the groceries, i should have known what this guy was all about "himself" but he wanted a woman by his side for company only (you kept your advise and thoughts to yourself). And when i got him a gifts (using my own money what I could save ) it never was good enough he always returned it and got the top of the line of what ever i had gotten (mountainbike/ and all the gear), wake board, boating equipment etc. and no I receieved nothing in the divorce after 10years...i had to start from the very very bottom again(since all my things weren't good enough for him they were thrown out). So if you have money and want to spend it on your special woman or man (women are ricdh too) do so because you want to..... not to see what you will get in return.... and if you do receive something from the other person don't compare the prices what ever happened to "Its the thought that counts".....
sorry for the book,.........i hope there are still rich men & women out there that spend money on their loved one because they want to......period

It's a total turn off when they brag about stuff.......

But unfortunately, a lot of men I've spoken with have explained that Women ask what they do....what they drive... if they own their place.... VERY early on in a conversation.....

It's all crazy!!!!!!!

I told one guy.. wouldn't u rather have a woman fall for you and who you are ... then what you have?

I have to agree with you there money isn't everything it's about the kind of person you are and being happy with what you've worked for, besides the type of women that are attracted by money don't love you they love your money, and it's the same with guys. I apperciate what I have and understand the reason I have it is because I've had to work for it and that is what makes it more worth while to me than something that is given. So once again bravo whatalady I agree with your post entirely!!!

Whatalady,
I have only met one man in the flesh from POF and he did not flaunt the fact that he may or may not have a lot of money, as a matter of fact he does not speak much of material things. However, there have been a few men that through email exhchanges and telephone calls turned me off due to their chatter about how much money they make, the toys they have, etc. When I told one man that it did not attract me, he went off on me about how he was not superficial, and I misunderstood him. How can one misunderstand "I make millions of dollars working on movies" or "I have four sports cars, a Hummer, two motorcycles and am paying cash for an Escalade tomorrow" be misunderstood? That does not attract me, honestly I would rather have a relationship with a man who enjoys his work, lives within his means, knows how to laugh, relax, have a good time and find activities that are not going to cost either of us a lot of money to do together. If I were to meet someone who had a lot of money, I would not want to know about it, money can complicate relationships ... who has more, who pays, blah, blah. In the end what really matters is if you are able to relax and enjoy one anothers company not dollar signs.

It seems that the men who contact me assume that because of the area I live in - that I am very well off. They make comments like "if you can afford to live in Marin, you can afford to (fill in the blank)" It is remarks like those that have me wondering if the man or men are just looking for a woman to support them.

Anyway, I agree men who boast about their money is a turn off. Give me a guy who is happy, honest, and horny (monogomous) any day over money!

If a persons rich or almost there why are they even on a dating site you know? If they have the money they should go out and meet people am I right on this, anybody think different?

Seems it's about personality and if you can make a woman laugh, best medicine and doesn't cost anything. Although fish and tatter tots would be nice then again thats to cheap, so I'm thinking say Dave & Buster's or like Benihana's.

The problem is the majority of guys here have already tried to attract women with their personality and wit. It simply doesn't work, so they resort to using money to attract women. It works a lot better.

I am very rich...

I have a wealth of personality and I am Irish, therefore I have a never ending set of stories to tell, come on folks, we bloody invented the blarney stone!!

I also have a jar of pennies, it's a little funky smelling from getting water in it... But I am fairly sure they are still good.

Just baiting the hook and waiting for the fish to bight.

It's kind of similar to the bikini picture(s) that a lot of ladies put in their profile.

I always brag about income to attract women. I will do it right now. I made $15k less this year than last! Funny how impacting a concrete block at 50 mph. on a motorcycle can reduce your income. My REAL net worth are the kids from Omaha who have never seen the ocean, let alone a Dolphin or whale, and see all 3 for the first time. The little 90 year old lady who, Wants to see a whale before she dies, she does and she dies.
Her son sends me a e-mail thanking me.
Yes I am a very rich man!

Because people want good looks and money. Simple. Maybe not everybody, but more people want things which are considered superficial than will admit to it. A lot more.

Well... having money is the most successful attribute a male can have to attract women.
I don't think anyone can deny that.
Now, don't get me wrong... I'm not saying that all women are attracted to is money. I'm also not saying that women are attracted to money more than anything else... but even in less intelligent species than humans, there are alpha males who attract more females as potential mates because women have an evolved trait to search for and protect resources to survive... and therefore seek mates who are able to secure and hold those resources, which in most societies, males are more able to get than females.
I don't blame women for that. It's just the way it is.

It's like money will get you through times of no love better than love will get you through times of no money.

true, isn't it?

So, if a guy is seeking women as potential mates and he's not doing well enough through other means, that tends to come out.

Does that make sense?

I'm not wealthy and I'm married with a family anyway, but it just looked like an interesting conversation..

Oh don't worry hon'. He keeps trying to deny those shots we took in thong underwear weren't him either. This is just an attempt to take the focus off those tight buns of his and that teeny tiny string err... ummm... thingy that ran down the cr_ _ k....

He will pay good money to get them back though.

Drop me a line and we can negotiate....
