2sure Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Money makes things easier. Easier means less stressful. Most couples bicker about money. Many people lose sleep worrying about money and bills. Men in particular, who dont earn whatever they think is enough to take care of their partner or family - feel emasculated when they cant get ahead. Nevermind what their partner thinks. To some, even if their partner is earning enough, it doesnt change the way they feel. Poverty or even the lack of money - the stress alone leads some people to escape into drugs, alcohol etc. Financial problems , whether coupled with substance addiction or not often lead to constant arguments , stress, and domestic abuse. Sometimes love just aint enough. Being an ******* is neither gender or income specific. If you consistently choose or end up in bad relationships - take a look at yourself and why you keep making the same choices.
kassy Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 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 agree this can be true for some people, but those I know who are genuinely super wealthy do have other problems and stresses. Like are they able to not jus live up to their predecessors successes but also surpass them, or will they run everything into the ground. Often with lots of pressure and unrealistic expectations put on them from a young age. And for those who have so much money they don't ever need to work, it can be mentally very difficult... what is the purpose of their life... what are they going to do with it, etc etc. Now you may say you would like to have these problems, and maybe you would, but they really can be much more stressful than people think. Rich men usually are really nice, it's the nearly rich men who have something to prove who can sometimes be problematic...but as said in other peoples posts all socio-economic groups have W***** in it
caramel c Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 I disagree completely. I have met and dated some very good guys who are very successful, and treated me like a queen. I think it has more to do with how you treat yourself as an example for the men on how to treat you. Sure, there are jerks (rich and poor), but that is only half of the equation. I have noticed that some women jerk men around and go after them because of their money. These guys aren't stupid. If they feel they're being taken as a meal ticket, they'll lose respect for you.
