Gold Pile Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Things have been going quite well between us. I'm the one who foots the bill for everything we do. Finally I just had to ask her: "would you still find me attractive if I lost all my money?" She said that she would definitely still care about me and still find me attractive. She even said that she would miss me very much. It warms my heart. 7

Robert Z Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Would miss you very much if you lost your wealth, huh? ~I lol'd~ thanks for the chuckle! The number one reason for divorce is money. Not so different. Except when a wife leaves her husband over money, it's not that she's a prostitute, instead he's a bum. A bit of a double standard isn't it. I don't think I've ever heard a woman say, I left my husband because he lost his job and I'm shallow. Edited September 14, 2015 by Robert Z 1
PaperCrane Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 People pair up for resources primarily. Be it resources of wealth, emotional security, acquiring of rusted bikes to create art sculptures, w/e. People enter into these things because it benefits them somehow. The fact they also like you as a person is what feeds the coal into the fire, however the resources supply that coal.

Art_Critic Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 mistake number 1: You wooed her with your money this time GP, what happened to the "leafy spinach from the same supermarket can fluff up a plant" GP, frugal as can be.. I take it she has never been treated to your nifty/thrifty gifts ? At least you can take some comfort in that she would miss you while on the unemployment line 1

She even said that she would miss me very much. It warms my heart. Why did that warm your heart? She point blank said she would dump you, hence the missing you. If you were still together but penniless, she would have no need to miss you. Since all she did was spout some words but has yet to pull out her wallet, I don't think she's as into you as she is your money. 1
Taramere Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 See what happens if you lose your string of poloponies.....that will be the true test... TFY Oh. Polo ponies. For a moment there, with the two words joined together confusingly, I thought you were talking about some awful sort of medical conditions. I pictured a whole load of polyps..joined together in a sort of string. "Oh yeah. I only dated him for the string of polyps in his bowel you know. Without those, he's not worth knowing." 3

I quoted your post where you said she would say she would miss you. Which is why I asked why she would need to miss you if you were still together. Please clarify.

S_A Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Money aint everything... Before we got together my GF was sorta seeing this guy that did well and lived in an amazing place in friggin' Malibu, and then I swoopt in. P.S. And my GF loves the beach and loves Malibu

She even said that she would miss me very much. It warms my heart. What's far more important is what she does, not what she says. Actions speak louder than words and all that. Seeing she expects you to pay for everything my money's on this woman being attracted to your pile of gold above all else, Gold Pile, but the only way of really knowing is by using your initiative and putting her to the test.
carhill Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 GP, You're the man Romance is nice but practicality wins out.
S_A Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 GP, You're the man Romance is nice but practicality wins out. Not sure what you're trying to say? Are you saying GP is the man for being really forward (and unromantic) by bringing up money? Or are you saying he is the man for getting a hot (lets assume hot) woman that appreciates money? I know she said she would still be attracted to GP, but her response did not sound convincing. A woman not in it for the money would say something different.
jen1447 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 A woman not in it for the money would say something different. A woman not in it for the money would reject the question altogether. In other words, her response would be "shut up!" 1
carhill Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 GP's scenarios have been epic over the years. All else being equal, money wins out. Been there, been married, seen it throughout life. No indictment, rather a bit of a belly laugh at the realities of living. It's good to be alive and feel one's heart warmed in all kinds of manners. 1

No indictment, rather a bit of a belly laugh at the realities of living. It's good to be alive and feel one's heart warmed in all kinds of manners. Romanc works for some, money for others. The money approach probably would not work for me, but the romance one does. My GF would take a bullet for me, but she wouldn't if she were with me for money (not being assumptive here). 1
Clarence_Boddicker Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Both men & women should hide some money/assets from each other. It's foolish not to, especially in a marriage. $5,000 stuffed into a anonymous safe deposit box for an emergency can give you a few months of breathing room if your world comes crashing down. Spouses & even employers can't be trusted when that's all you have. It's a jungle out there.
