woinlove Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) Should a woman date a man because he's rich and powerful? How do you think rich and powerful men get all those women. Anyway, if you are honest and open, I don't see the problem. I would have a problem with leading the man to think you are dating him for reasons other than the true ones. But, to me, if you are honest and kind, what is the problem? Personally, I wouldn't find wealth and power good reasons to spend a lot of time with a man, but I'm not sure what you mean by dating or what you might be interested in longer term. Some rich and powerful men are perfectly fine with women choosing to date them because of, or partly because of, their wealth and power. Others aren't. But what about the separated part? My experience with separated men is that it can simply mean they aren't currently with their W but they could very well be in the near future. Edited September 21, 2011 by woinlove
stillafool Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Should a woman date a man because he's rich and powerful? I guess that depends on the woman. Some women are desperate for a "material" lifestyle and would give up their soul to have such. Is that you?
MissBee Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Should a woman date a man because he's rich and powerful? Ahhhh....well for myself, my reasons for dating someone and investing time and emotions in them are way more complex. If however, I were just planning to be a user and an opportunist, then being rich and powerful would be my only criteria. It depends on what that person wants. I have come to realize that all people do not date, marry or do anything for the same reasons as I may do them. I suppose what matters is if the "ends" you're after matches the means. The problem is when you're trying to gain A but are going down a route that is contrary to providing that result. What do you think? Is this about you or just a question for the sake of discussion?
woinlove Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, difficult to know what is meant by "should" here. Are we talking ethics? values? personal happiness?
Gentlegirl Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 You can date any man or move in with anyone you want. You are obviously a big girl and you don't need anybody's permission to do it. Separated is still married no matter which way you look at it. He is still attached with a lot of issues to be sorted out.. Wouldn't touch a separated man with a barge pole because he can quickly turn tail and become firmly married once more. Where odes that leave you? Hey... do what you want for whatever reasons you see fit. Gentlegirl.
