directx Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I'd love it. I prefer a woman to be smarter and more successful. I think its very attractive. I still like to have my own money mind you. I wouldnt like it if she hung it over my head, but who would?

Trialbyfire Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 :lmao: Is this where I stand up and say "My Mommy is bigger than your Mommy"?
Mustang Sally Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 No, How about "My Mercedes is shinier than YOUR Mercedes!" As IF!!!
Author cutegirl Posted May 3, 2007 Author Posted May 3, 2007 Do you care how you look to other people by saying that? I am just being honest. Why should I lie and say something just because it is politically correct. The "average american" does NOT work because they choose to "contribute to society". People work because they have to pay bills and mortgages. You hear people saying "I need money and I'm looking for a job." or "I'm looking for a job, I have all these bills to pay..." etc. People do not work out of the goodness of their own hearts. Someone who goes to work and sits in a cubicle all day or just answers phones or works as a cashier or a salesperson ain't contributing jack to society. They are working for a paycheck. I am only being honest when I say that my sole purpose of working is to obtain money and wealth. People who are in denial about the real reason why they work are the ones who are truly blind.
Author cutegirl Posted May 3, 2007 Author Posted May 3, 2007 Yes I could handle it....IF She wasnt pompus and snooty Wasnt pre-occupied with the money and always focused on MORE Wasnt prideful and condensending becasue she made more than me Wasnt judgemental about friends of mine that she would consider low or middle income Wasnt fake or had different character when around her wealthy friends and around my lowly income friends. Wasnt putting her job and money ahead of family Wasnt greedy with it....if you make that much...you can afford to help people Wasnt always using her MONEY as a means to belittle me or say she didnt have to do certain chores because she made more money.......the toilet still needs to be cleaned....and your income status doenst make you above doing it. I would much rather be rich in LOVE than rich in BANK any day.....because like my sig says...the greatest things in life...arent things at all... I know this....God wont care how much money I made or if I had a huge ammount of properties and assets.....he will ask if I comprimised my character to get the money and riches... There is nothing wrong with being pre-occupied with money and focusing on MORE, to me that's a sign of AMBITION. There is always MORE you can achieve or MORE money to make. And about the chores.... huh? If she has money and she wanted to, would you have a problem if she hired a cleaning service to clean the toilets, lol? Why does she have to do it herself? There's NOTHING WRONG with doing it yourself, but it doesn't make you a better person for cleaning your own toilets. If someone can afford to hire a cleaning service, you would actually think there was something wrong with that?? And about god, well, I'm not religious whatsoever. So that doesn't apply to me.
Author cutegirl Posted May 3, 2007 Author Posted May 3, 2007 Well put. Who wants to date someone who will always put their money ahead of the relationship? Besides, look at what she says about "not caring for society", etc... Who'd want to date someone like that? I make crap money, but I make sure no one around me goes hungry, not even the stray animals on the street. -tp humanitarian. I believe that if people can't take care of themselves it's not my problem. If I were poor, and trust me I have been, I still would never take one cent from anyone. I am too proud to ever accept any charity. Donating money is just not my thing. And volunteering is not my thing either. I am not going to lie because it's the "right thing to say." No one is obligated in this world to help anyone. If someone chooses too then that's great and very commendable and all, but no one is obligated to anything, it's NOT something that should be automatically expected. It is merely a choice. What's with people thinking it's someone responsibility to donate money or to help others? It really isn't. As long as I pay my taxes and follow all the laws in this country then I'm good to go. I am not obligated to do anything beyond that.
dropdeadlegs Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I've got salsa, you got chips? I prefer the white corn chips.
Mary Magdalene Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Salsa, what's that? I have couscous to offer anyone who'd like some.

It has nothing to do with being "PC". It has to do with being a decent human being and having a little bit of humility. Cutegirl, you are so angry at the world, its really hard to feel anything but pity for you, and you certainly don't endear yourself to many people with your F**k the world attitude. Money DOESN't make you happy, and in twenty years time, you may be rich beyond my wildest dreams, but I would rather have been truly in love and had good times with my friends and family. I used to be a little bit like you- but it was exhausting to keep it up all the time, and I wasn't a very nice person to be around. I am much happier now. And to me thats much more important than a stock portfolio. Money also can't buy the one thing in the world I want, even if I had unlimited cash. So when you are faced with stuff like that, it becomes less important. Yes, most people work because they need to pay the bills. But in their own ways, ALOT of jobs contribute to society. They pick up your rubbish, they sweep your streets, they keep your electricity, gas and phone going, they look after your hair, your nails, your teeth, your health, your banking, your shares, your food. If you took all these people away, your money would be useless. Good luck with the wealth thing. Hope you do find happiness on the way, I really do, because it can be really lonely at the top.
sb129 Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 cutegirl, can we have some of your chips? I got houmous....
sb129 Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 CG- I was wondering what you were trying to achieve when you started this thread. Is it to remind us how "successful" you are? Or to further validate your ambition? YOu must have had an idea what the responses would be like. And since you don't really care what any of us think, why bother?
DanielMadr Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I would feel lucky. $$$$$ The rest would depend on her attitude. If she had second thoughts "Is he intimidated?" "Should I marry down?" "Is he a gold digger?" "How does he really feels about it?" Then she would probably sabotaged it. I would feel intimidated (ashamed) by woman when she is bigger, stronger, faster etc. than me.....if she is better hunter not some white collar manager. If she is socialy more successful than me, I dont really mind. I was "dating" a woman who made lots and lots more money than me. Only question I had was "Is she pretty?". Answer was "no". So I left early on. Her being successful made her more attractive for my $$$ part of brain actually. As long as she behaves feminine around me, not bossy etc. I have no problem with that.
ThumbingMyWay Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 There is nothing wrong with being pre-occupied with money and focusing on MORE, to me that's a sign of AMBITION. There is always MORE you can achieve or MORE money to make. you can call it whatever you want...but IMO....you have alot of greed in your posting context....but thats just the way I read it.... And about god, well, I'm not religious whatsoever. So that doesn't apply to me. hence your LOVE of money and MORE MORE MORE..... there MORE to life than how much money you have in the bank....and someday you will reliase that.... Big Gorilla Syndrome... Big gorilla lives on an island filled with other animals and creatures. One day he finds a banana forest. OH my...what a find...I got all these bananas to eat. he eats and he eats...and he eats some more. he becomes bigger and bigger....drawfing the other animals...stepping on them because he cant see where hes stepping. while reaching for his next banana. And the crap...boy...all these bananas are giving him a lot of crap. So he *****s here and there...big piles everywhere.....he keeps eating and crapping all over the place. But ohh...the bananas...I need more bananas.......he keeps eating and growing and crapping all over...... then one day he wakes up....covered in crap becuase he has no where to put it....the banana forest is gone and the other animals have left the island to find a place where they can all live without the fear of being stepped on or crapped on. He wakes up and realises.....I have done nothing but eat these bananas and crap all over..... but those bananas....they were sure worth it......or where they?...as he ponders his life.....he realises....I have no more neighors and no more bananas....all i have is myself and my crap.....
whichwayisup Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Someone who goes to work and sits in a cubicle all day or just answers phones or works as a cashier or a salesperson ain't contributing jack to society. So what? Maybe they aren't career orientated, but they are making a living, providing money to pay the bills, support the family. WTF!!! There's more to life an earning a pay cheque! Work is NOT going to be there for you when you have your rough times in life. Work is NOT going to sit with you while you go through cancer treatments...Friends and family will be though! What is important to one person, may not be as important to you, so to put down someone who YOU think has a meaningless, pointless job, is cruel. TO them, maybe that job IS important. Every job has a purpose, big or small. Money can be your bestfriend, but money does not buy happiness. It can be very lonely at the top...

They are working for a paycheck. I am only being honest when I say that my sole purpose of working is to obtain money and wealth. . Oh dear. In addition to the other reasons I have listed above, Supporting your family IS contributing to society, cos it keeps state payments manageable which in turn keeps our taxes at a rate we can afford. And we pay tax so the government can support those less fortunate than us, AND run the country. Really cutegirl, none of this is very profound. ! What is important to one person, may not be as important to you, so to put down someone who YOU think has a meaningless, pointless job, is cruel. TO them, maybe that job IS important. Every job has a purpose, big or small. That is absolutely true. And the seven deadly sins are Lust Sloth Wrath Gluttony Envy GREED and PRIDE you don't have to be religious to believe that these attributes make you unhappy.
hotgurl Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I think cutegirl just tries to prove herself because she feels insecure. I think it has to do with how she makes her money. In internet marketing.
trigger Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I think cutegirl just tries to prove herself because she feels insecure. I think it has to do with how she makes her money. In internet marketing. Naw, I'm betting it's much more complex than just that. Its more like she's overcompensating for something she has felt lacking of in her past, or in her present, Sort of akin to a Leonardo complex. Or has been hurt badly at some point by someone or something. Something to do with being a female, something to do with being made to feel inferior. I'm thinking that time and experience and a little bit of heartbreak will temper this and give her some balance. Eventually. One would hope. I'm all for ambition and acquiring money if that is your passion. Most anything done with passion is okay with me, as long as it's done with genuine passion, and not as a way to project an insecurity onto something outside yourself. And that doesn't involve rape, murder or adultery. Me, I couldn't care less about being rich or not, (well, a little, because I'm sick of tortillas and ramen) but that's moot. But when passion becomes greed, pride, and a feeling of moral and social superiority, then it's a problem. A big one.

TUDOR Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 First time I got married, I married for love. Second time around I was a little more picky about it....she needed to be a lady but a whore in bed and she needed to come with her own money! While this may sound shallow to some, having two people in the marriage making great money is a good thing but if there only has to be one...what does it matter who it is. I wouldn't care if my wife made 10 times more than I did....good for her but more importantly good for "us". I'm not scared or intimidated by women who make great money...hell those are the keepers!
Hitman10000 Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 If a woman made more than me then it would justify me splitting bills and would help cut costs for things I would spend more of for girls who make less than me. However, I do have a "fair" limit.. I'm stingy on throwing money around.
