... because women with substantive personalities are mostly interested in superficial qualities?

 

A person who makes more money is generally perceived to be more capable of supporting a family, and thus that is hardly a "superficial" quality if they're looking for serious partners.

 

no, it's still superficial, it's just that women who want to have children and who don't have money of their own have more of an excuse.

and women seeking $ are not limited exclusively to those who just want a man that has enough money to support a family

 

I agree.

I met my husband online and had to weed through some 'interesting' guys to find him. It was a fun time though there were lots of creepers. Two of my best friends and three of his best friends also met their spouses online.

As for the income bracket....I have to admit that I couldn't date someone who made substantially less than I did. I wasn't looking for someone to take care of me financially but I also did not want to have to take care of him financially either.

 

For every woman that cares about money there are ten guys that care about looks.

 

^All of that is really beside the point. Seeking and placing value on a substantial income in a mate doesn't guarantee a woman a substantive personality. I don't really see what one has to do with the other.

 

It amazes me that there are still so many women that actually base interest on income. I'm not saying you should only date deadbeats, but income alone does not make the man.

 

There is a dating service called socialsex advertising on HF, assuming it's not scumware on my computer (socialsex, not HF ). You didn't even try that one first? For shame.

 

I was complaining to one of my lesbian friends about only meeting sluts out at the bars, and she pointed me to pof. I made a profile and haven't met anyone yet, but it looks like the same thing except they are more desperate. It looks like my odds of finding a meaningful relationship are pretty slim at the moment..

You sound like a golddigger. Keep it classy.

 

I wonder if you even remotely sense the irony in your statement there.

 

You're looking at the wrong place. Isn't there a plentyofrats.com?

 

I might have.

 

Honestly, I am not just looking to get laid. It would be nice to find somebody to love, and who loves me, but that probably won't ever happen.

 

But getting laid is fun in the meantime.

 

don't be mean to rat, give him love

:grouphug:

 

There's another joke in that line somewhere that has to do with cheese and rodents, but I won't uncover it.

 

I wasn't whining, damn it!!!!

 

yeah..id describe it more as pining

 

Not only did you get her attention, she's flirting. That's half the battle.

Women are really easy to understand if you just think in a way that makes no sense. Make sense?

:cheers2:

 

Hahaha Rat, you'll find your special girl someday. And boy, she better be strong and ready for a fight because I know you'll give her one! :biggrin:
