lucy loo Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I have a new theory that rich men are all *******s and will never treat a women in the right way... It seems to me from my experiences that the richer the guy the more he treats his women like disposable toys. Is it possible that they think Women are just as disposable as their income???? Ae we better off going for poor guys??
steveraves Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 You make it seem like since rich men are *********s you'll settle for 2nd best the poor guy. Why is that? MONEY doesn't buy or make one happy. I'd rather be poor and have a loving relationship than rich and miserable...
Author lucy loo Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Im just saying that poor guys seem to treat women a lot better than those who have lots of money.. agree ?
Trialbyfire Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I completely disagree. You'll find arseholes and decent men, in every socio-economic status/level.
steveraves Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Im just saying that poor guys seem to treat women a lot better than those who have lots of money.. agree ? Yes! I think people who don't have a lot of money learn what is and isn't important.
Author lucy loo Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 I totally agree.. rich men are used to getting everything they want with the flash of their black american express card... therefore they apply this theory to women as well... they think they can treat them as another one of their toys that they so frequently buy...
Trialbyfire Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 lucy loo, How many wealthy men do you know? How many wealthy men have you dated?
Author lucy loo Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 only evr wealthy men so i would know
Trialbyfire Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Have you dated hundreds upon thousands of wealthy men? Do you know a lot of them? How do you meet them? Do they run around flashing their wealth? Do they wear their wealth in bling and drive Ferraris and Lambos?
CarrieT Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I have been in LTR with both VERY rich and VERY poor men. The money aspect made no difference whatsoever. I was stood-up recently by a guy who didn't have enough $$ for the date. Pity, because I had been telling him where we could go and hear free jazz with just a cheap bottle of wine. He didn't seem to get it and instead contacted me four hours after our appointed date to say I could just come to his place. Sorry, booty calls don't happen for first dates. I have had very rich men take me out and treat me wonderfully but we just didn't click. Again, the money makes no difference. It is the core personality which ultimately affects how anyone is treated and gets treated in return.
Fay Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Again, the money makes no difference. It is the core personality which ultimately affects how anyone is treated and gets treated in return. Amen, same experience here.
ruggy Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Nope buttholes are attached to both genders rich and poor, makes no difference. I know several wealthy men who are decent looking, don't flaunt their money and treat women with the utmost of respect. They can't get a woman to save their life. I also know men who have less than nothing and women flock to them like they were Estiban or something. Doesn't make sense, and so does life. Though, to one of the other posters, I beg to differ with a having a relationship over no money. A relationship can feed, cloth, our house you. Money can. I'd take money over a relationship on pure survival means any day of the week. I can live a long time with money and security. Not sure how long I will live with no food, water, utilities or shelter. A week or so?

Impressive. Such a young age, and you have only dated men with an average net worth of 6,400,000 pounds and who charge about 18,000 pounds a month- which is what it takes to get a Centurian card.
Author lucy loo Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 is that really the kind of money you have to have to get one of thoise cards
Mariat Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I dont't know if rich men are more *******s than the poor ones, but they do have sure better chances, no matter what it says on the paper (like: money isn't important, only love is, blhblahblah). I think it allways be like this; if they (rich men) are not really ugly or hard disabled in some way, the will allways have better chances than the poor ones - I#ve seen so far.

I think it allways be like this; if they (rich men) are not really ugly or hard disabled in some way, the will allways have better chances than the poor ones - I#ve seen so far.Whether they have better chances or not, this thread is about all wealthy men being arses and I can guarantee you that not all are, just like not all less fortunate men, are arses. The man makes the money, the money doesn't make the man inside. If a man is flashing bling, elite credit cards and driving ridiculously expensive cars, you can bet he's got less than he pretends to have or is so enamoured of his money, he's not worthwhile. For that matter, how can anyone trash supposedly "rich" men, when it's all that person dates? If you're being mistreated, why would anyone date these men? Hopefully not for their money because that doesn't say much for who that person is.
Sam Spade Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Decent people and *******s come from every walk of life in equal amounts. That said, if one is an *******, wealth exponentially increases their ass-holishness, since money exacerbate and makes more apparent their already given inability to be considerate of others. Poor *******s just need to watch it more or else suffer larger consequences. Another problem that wealthy people (or at least people who grew up in wealthy families) is that they simply do not understand what does it mean to struggle with life and start from scratch to make your own way. While this is not necessarily an indication of poor character, it results in a warped and narrow worldview that I don't find attractive. I have nothing but respect for the rags-to-riches types though. I'm not sure how common it is these days, but if there are any left, that's great.
Peanut9330 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I really feel like it depends on how those men were brought up and what kind of morals and values they have. I dont beleive that all rich men are a$$***** I feel like some of them becasue of the fact that they have money may be arrogant but to stereotype and put them into one bunch is just not fair and wrong in my eyes, but just my thought cuz beleive me poor guys can be just a big of a$$***** as rich guys!
Lizzie60 Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I don't think that rich men are more jerks than poor men.. I will say this though... Rich men USUALLY are more educated (that's why they are usually richer, because they have better jobs).. Poor guys are OFTEN not educated.. therefore gets the lowest paid jobs. Does that make them more or less jerks.. I am not sure.. I don't think so. But ONE thing I'm sure.. if people had MORE education.. there would be less IDIOTS in this world.. Education makes better people IMO. My last bf.. started 20 years ago with a $3,000 loan from his grandfather and he's now 'millionnaire'... but he was a hard-working guy.. (not much education, but a lot of strong will and good work ethic).
MissViolet Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I have a lot of wealthy friends. My male friends who are rich, are some of the nicest and decent people, and treat women with great respect. Yes, they drive flashy cars and wear expensive clothing, but they've earned their wealth and so why shouldn't they. I think it's possibly the kinds of guys you're attracted to...
Peaceandlove Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I think lucy loo is referring to a particular kind of rich men- the greedy banker types who are in abundance in London. These guys have evolved into believing (and most of the times its true) girls will want to be their 'girlfriend' if they flash their Centurion cards at members-only clubs...I'm not demonising them in any way since there seems that there are girls out there who fall for this. If a guy was interested in a meaningful relationship and not just flings he would actually avoid flaunting his wealth like that since he knows that way he attracts the superficial kind- and maybe that's exactly what these guys are after for a certain period of time in their lives, they don't feel that what they are doing is wrong because they understand greediness all too well to realize that they are in a give-and-take situation with these girls...and this way they have access to more physically attractive girls that they would without their flashy cards. Just look for someone who is interested in knowing you and not just have you as an accessory in his fast car- no need to demonise wealthy guys, they are only human
collegekid491 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I wouldn't say rich men treat women worse, simply that men that aren't as well off have to find other ways to impress and be more creative in the courting process then constantly buying stuff. In the same way though, they may feel they are being used for their financial gains so they may be more reluctant to give into feelings fast at the risk of being robbed blind.
Soulmind Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I have a new theory that rich men are all *******s and will never treat a women in the right way... It seems to me from my experiences that the richer the guy the more he treats his women like disposable toys. Is it possible that they think Women are just as disposable as their income???? Ae we better off going for poor guys?? Hmm... I think women insecurities can play a role here. If a woman is insecure, and not independent enough or just has a wrong belief or mentality of thinking that money is a sign of superiority, well, the guy will "smell" that trait on her, and he could get turned off by the lack of confidence on her. Normally, a guy that is wealthy (he worked his life to have his wealth) is more confident and feel more secure and attracted to a confident woman. But, of course, there are lots of different cases. All this scenario could change if he is old, attractive, NON attractive, young, old... etc money in some cases is used by some men to cover or disguise a BIG insecurity on him. But, inversely, some women, are in search of a wealthy guy to cover her own insecurities. If both individuals are mature and confident then real love can progress no matter richer or poorer. Men are men. As the same opposite that we women we have our peculiarities regardless of social status (more emotional, over analyzers etc...) Just my two cents
torranceshipman Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 The guy I am currently dating is wealthy, handsome and very clever, but he certainly doesn't flaunt his wealth, and he's pretty down to earth, which is great...he is also a complete gent, and treats me very well. 3 dates in and he is also not rushing the physical side at all, either. I've certainly met guys who are wealthy but flashy and who are arrogant and like the poster described, but there are plenty of good guys out there too. I agree with other posters that you are going for the flashy arrogant banker types - these guys are what I call 'the richest losers' :D Go for a nice guy, rich or poor, but don't go for one of those jerks...
