kentuckyguy Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I'm a 25yr old single guy looking to get back in the dating game. I was in a long relationship from 18 to the age of 22 and when that ended I was pretty crushed and buried myself in work for years, so much so that my company grew to be fairly large and was recently acquired for a considerable amount. Now after being a workaholic for the past 3 years I find myself with no job, no woman, and to top it off I moved across the country from Laguna Beach, CA to my old hometown in KY where I currently only have one friend. My life is in order, my health is good, and I am finally ready to find the woman for me but it's been so long that I have no idea where to begin. When I lived in Orange County it definitely seemed like the guys with financial wealth had a real easy time with women. This doesn't mean that women didn't care about the guy's personality, but his wealth certainly didn't hurt the situation. Here is my real question, does money really matter to a woman? Does the car that I drive or the brand of clothes I wear have any impact on a woman's first impression? Would the first impression be positive or negative if I had a really nice car? I realize that material things in the end mean absolutely nothing (I'm living that reality right now) but if they can give me better odds with women then I have no problem going that route.
AHIWON Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 If you behave like an Alpha Male then a lot of women wouldn't care.
AHIWON Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 So what if some women are only worried about money, forget her and move on to the next one. Consider it her loss for not meeting a good catch.
Trialbyfire Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 If you flash too much, you'll only attract the gold diggers. Keep it nice but average, don't disclose your bank account until you've gotten serious with someone who appears to love you for who you are.
Green Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I think your saying your rich? well what ever your saying of course having alot of money will help with the number of girls you'll be able to get. most girls arnt going to hold it against you if your independently wealthy. and if your poor just try to pay for dates every once in a while women love to be treated. So is ur post about being out of a job and having to move back home because things didnt work out? or is it about being victorious financialy and retiring at 25?
Miss_Bee Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Money has nothing to do with a potential mate. It has to do with chemistry, compatibility, and the way that person makes you feel. For myself the order is........ Sense of humor (then again mine is freakin warped so it's hard to come by ) Personality Looks Money If you find a woman that is mostly interested in your cash, then take off! She'll eventually clean you out in the end.
Author kentuckyguy Posted April 6, 2007 Author Posted April 6, 2007 @KMT - I'm asking in the post whether women have any positive/negative first impressions regarding guys with money. I am retired now and was just curious to hear a woman's perspective on the subject. @Trialbyfire - Thanks, this is good advice. I suppose it's probably best to date a woman knowing it's based on personality and not any external factors. @Miss_Bee - It's good to know that money isn't really a consideration.
