Rich but lazy, or poor but ambitious?

Men:
If you had a choice to make, which would you prefer to be... rich but lazy, or poor but ambitious?

Women:
What type of man would you prefer out of the two?

Discuss your answers.

I'd rather be rich but lazy. I'm halfway there already.

Ambition is worthless if it amounts to nothing, why be damned to pursue the unobtainable?

Money is not an issue for me. I prefer ambitious.

Discuss your answers, hmmm?

Money can be obtained. I will inherit quite a bit actually. Ambition is something you either have, or you don't. My husband is a hard worker and quite ambitious. I've had the lazy variety and I find that I enjoy when someone is able to take care of ME.

Let's assume that success is attainable in this case, but with a slow progression of time.
Basically, I'm trying to determine if some women would prefer to stay with a man through the rough times, or if she would stay by his side only if he was already made and successful.

Aaww...this thread just isn't "Loveshack" at all.

It should be, "Rich man with small penis, or poor man with big penis?"

Honestly, it's the hard times you go through with someone that add depth and meaning to a relationship. Knowing that just around the corner are better times can make a world of difference. You can look back upon your experiences and have a closer bond.

Some people can tolerate shallow relationships like the latter, but there's nothing there. Sure there's money and money can buy happiness, to a certain extent, but when the money's gone and two people have to face each other without that crutch, what do you have? Nada.

Money comes and goes, my friend. And when they vanish,it'a usually when you have at least 2 kis with the sucker, huge debt and a certain inability to change a lifestyle.

I would kick a man's *utt if he were lazy. Rich or poor! He must be a provider, HIM, not mommy and daddy! I sure work my eyes out and I don't expect anything less near me in life!

I don't think I'd like to be with a poor and ambitious man.

I have an idea that many of them once they have achieved success will dump the woman they are with because they think that now that they are rich and successful they can afford to 'upgrade' their partner as well.

I saw that happen. No matter how much their partners supported them while they were striving to become successful.

So I'll pick the rich but lazy.

Well, basically I'd pick a man who does not have 'becoming rich and successful'as the only goal in life. No matter what his income is as long as he likes what he does.

In this case, my choice would absolutely be the former.

You are forgetting that life near a rich man ain't that easy either. He can also change you for a hotter babe as something tells me that he won't be lacking offers !

hahaha. funny as f*ck.

personally i would choose poor and lazy as long as he was a good dancer and came with a decent dvd collection. underestimate those qualities at your peril. you know where you are with poor and lazy. i'm poor and lazy and by far the happiest person i know.

Not being able to pay the bills is a dealbreaker to me. Damn, the world is to small and life is too short not to want more. As a matter of fact, it's not the money, but the will to do more, to see more, to go further, that's what's a turn on for me.

I'll go with poor but ambitious. I don't think I could stand having a lazy husband.
