Why is it that soooooo many women are obsessed with men that pull in the cash? It all boils down to that eh? So much for intellect, heart, vision, and spirit! From muscles, to cars, so many caught up in the bullshit temp. game. Women, are you really that insecure? Do you really think this will bring you happiness? I know you're not all like this, and granted, most men are assholes. Why do we play this game? I can't stand it.
"settle for love, you're never far from home" i pity the women that think money can substitute for love. they are missing out on the greatest gift in the world.
Damn good questions. Is there too much Madison Avenue for everyone's Good? * Have we lost Reality's nuances? At times it appears we have lost Sight of Reality... *advertising/films/TV/other bs
Well, I don't know about you, but I don't value frugality. Yes, I know, it's one of the "seven heavenly virtues," but I'm not going to heaven anyway because I don't believe in it. People who make money and live a fine and secure life, they're great, if they can do that and that's what makes them happy. But it's the people without money who are the driving force behind society (I believe Marx would call them the proletariat?). The people who aren't frugal, who are willing to give the little bit of money they have away to a good cause, they are the people who make our lives a little easier. No matter how structured or perfect the government is, it will always be complicated and complex, and through one result or another (be it success or failure), our lives will always have burdens. But day to day, it is the nice people who have given all they can who make a difference.
Well, you have to take into consideration how many mindless men there are who simply want to sleep with a hot girl. This is not simply a one-sided issue. Pff, I suppose I can't blame women for simply looking for a man with cash. Why not? After all, when you look at the average man, he probably doesn't have much else to offer, so why not get a couple of nice gifts as long as you're sleeping with him, right?
99% of the women I've met only go out with guys who have $$. I've had 5 or 6 women come after me. I always say no for that exact reason. What if theyre after my money? I'd rather be single.
sounds like you're full of shit to me... sorry, but neither myself nor ANY of my female friends have considered money to be a important aspect of relationship. Yeah, it's great to be taken out from time to time, but you can get supper from my fav restaurant for only $7 (Canadian) A man who wants to be independent, can make his own decisions, has a streak of "manlyman" in him, can be sensitive when it's warranted, can carry a conversation.... all of these things are FAR FAR FAR more important to me. if you don't want to "play the game", find a real woman who can appreciate you for you, not for your bank account.
Just because you're not like that doesn't mean that other people aren't. I know pleny of girls who would go after someone based on their financial stability.
Okay... It IS nice to have a guy who thinks of you and occassionally buys small presents. Guys who donate to animal charities get a hotness point. Do they have to buy me oodles of presents to win my affections? No. DO show me I am worth a nice dinner; I will return the favor. The last guy I dated was a total cheapass. He wouldn't buy a box of cookies to support the Girl Scouts (who are supportive of ALL people, unlike the Boy Scouts).
And I agree with Ihmurria. Guys who usually complain women are shallow are usually looking at the wrong kind of woman. I'm a cheaper date than her; my favorite restaurant meal costs about four dollars plus tip. Nothing like a grilled cheese with swiss with some yummy onion rings!
I can understand that above me ^ (2 posts). I would obviously do that for someone I'm with. But its just the ones "buy me this, buy me that...why wont you take me here?" then all of a sudden they leave you and move onto the next sucker. That I do not like. What bitches. Now everytime I see a woman looking at me, I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head...what if?
Thats why I'm moving in September to go to college, and from there moving out west(I think). After college I'm going to be REALLY paranoid lol...making somewhere around 70K a year...
drop those women and move on...honestly, you can tell if a woman is after your $$ after spending an hour or two with her. genuine women give off a different vibe. i live in southern cali...i have extensive experience with people like this. but perhaps its different in canada. but i do agree with the above posters...if your overly suspicious about everyone, you might pass up a few worth knowing
Well i must ask this: What about all the guys who are so obsessed with a set of tits and an ass, plastic fantastic, blonde sex hair, smutty little faces that look like they're from a boys mag? is that all it boils down to eh? so much for intellect, heart, vision and spirit! yeah well im sick of that shit too! it works both ways as you can see....
seeking someone who is financially stable and dating someone because they have money are two way different things. Personally I wouldn't date someone who wasn't financially stable ie-couldn't pay their bills or couldn't hold a job. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Why would I want to get serious with someone who in the future wouldn't be able to support a family? and just because someone makes a lot does not mean they are financialy responsible. I was in a relationship with someone for 5 years who makes the same amount as my mother yet he constantly got things reposesed-the irresponsibility of the whole thing turned me off and I had zero respect for him. It's an instinctual and genetic thing-women seek care takers in all ways.
oh I know exactly the girls you are talking about. It's so sad down here guys are actually shocked when you don't suggest an expensive resturaunt because there are so many girls here who are just after guys for materialisms-it's sad.
Well thats understandable. We all have standards. But why is it that a great guy with a stable job who isnt making the most money in the world...just enough to be happy with gets nothing? Why do women go for the inconsiderate guy that has all this extra income, drives a fancy, expensive car, has a huge house but otherwise doesnt care about women (or their feelings) in general? I've seen it happen so many times. I tend to not trust women anymore. I'm always suspicious now, because 99% of the time, its what they want. I just don't understand people anymore. What ever happened to marrying for love?
