Revolver Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I think it depends on the woman. A woman who grew up in poverty and is struggling financially is more likely to stay in a relationship for the wealth. A woman who is independent and/or has never struggled financially would be less likely to stay with a man just because he's rich... she has her own money and wants other things. A golddigger wouldn't care as long as he had money. So I think it greatly depends on the woman, what she really wants and what she's willing to sacrifice for money. You can still be a goldigger even if you have your own money though. If I make 50,000 a year and I'm going after a girl specifically because she's well off and I want to benefit from that lifestyle her money provides I'm still a goldigger even though i can technically take care of myself

stateofgrace Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 For me, money has nothing to do with how I feel about a guy. I mean, sure it's nice to date someone who has money, but that doesn't dictate how I feel about a relationship. I wouldn't stay in a relationship I was unhappy in just because my boyfriend was rich. My ex made a **** ton of money, we dated for three years and grew apart. I didn't stick around for the money, that's silly. I know some people (not girls specifically by the way...) are more into money than others, but I don't think it's fair to generalize that all girls would stay in relationship if there's more money involved.
RonaldS Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Money isn't everything, but it sure makes everything a lot easier. See below. I remember when I was just starting in life and financially struggling. I would take walks at night in those rich neighborhoods and wondered how wonderful and easy life must be behind those beautiful fancy doors. Fast forward several years, my late 30s. I lived a few years with a wealthy man, 5 luxurious cars at the door, maids, gardeners, etc. It was the most sad time of my life. I cried a lot, probably every day for the 3 years I lived with him. Money does not impress me at all. In fact if a man with anything fancy approaches me it's a turn off. All of my clients are wealthy. I spend time every day in those homes you described looking at. The amount of dysfunction, disenfranchisement, loneliness, unfulfillment, etc is really no less than in any other demographic. Maybe even more, because so many people erroneously think that having money will make all the bad stuff go away, and when it doesn't, it almost seems to make it worse. Gaeta's story is pretty common, I think. Money buys stuff. It doesn't make life better, or easier. And if somebody wasn't happy without wealth, they probably aren't going to be happy with it, either.
HeartbrokenNewbie Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Some would, some wouldnt. I went on a date with a filthy rich bloke a few weeks back, he wanted to see me again but there was nothing there so didnt pursue it (and Im skint! lol) I just couldnt be with someone just because of money it has to be love for me. Im due to inherit an extremely large amount of money which my ex knew about and it didnt stop him leaving me so not convinced about this one x

Art_Critic Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 How many wives has Donald Trump had ? Money and Beauty haven't a whole lot to do with the success of a marriage. Rich people are just people with more money, but they are still people just like any other person.
StanMusial Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Sadly, I know several men personally that I could say this to truthfully. The reason being, because their wives pretty much told them this. Unfortunately, "for richer or poorer" doesn't mean too much to some women once the honeymoon is over.
lollipopspot Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 But u wouldn't date a guy who doesn't work! You left you Ex who has money for another guy who has money. Same thing. She said that she left the rich guy for a guy who makes minimum wage. Minimum wage is subsistence level, and hardly that. If we're talking about a guy who doesn't work and has no money at all, this is a different discussion. That's a guy who either has a disability of some kind or motivation issues (if you're talking about students living on loans, their study is their work). Most people don't want to be homeless or on public assistance long term you know. It seems very reasonable to want more for yourself and your loved ones and for anyone really.
crederer Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah this isn't really the forum that will support this but you are more or less correct. Women are shallow (men are too but I'm not dating men so it doesn't apply to me).
