Toodaloo Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 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. It shouldn't - standard response I am afraid. Suggest you start buying more flowers, chocolates and probably a porsche (if your being a cheapskate) a bit quick before you lose her forever. 1
mike_89 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 9.5 times out of 10 if she doesn't have more money than you, the money is a factor in, at the very least, her being attracted to you.
MoreAmore Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 "would you still find me attractive if I lost all my money?" She even said that she would miss me very much. . This is comedy gold! 1

RedRobin Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Good one, GP. I'm quite sure *I* can't be bought... but if a guy I was with said that, I'd wink and say "Depends on how you lost it ;)" 1
Krieger Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I believe there is some truth to this : Men go for the hottest woman he can afford, women go for the most successful man she can attract. 2
casey.lives Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Don't ask questions like that.. It's not smart.
Erised Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I believe there is some truth to this : Men go for the hottest woman he can afford, women go for the most successful man she can attract. Absurd. I've dated and had my choice of guys between a 35k untenured professor and a 350k executive. Their income is irrelevant, and I'm not super hot. It's compatibility for most of us.

I also will not even try to date a woman if I know she makes twice as much as me. I can only date woman with dead end jobs like me that is the only way a relationship will work.

One occasionally sees an odd couple that are financially mismatched in that she has more money. But your observations are very realistic.

Indeed you certainly speak to the values of many, but its just a percentage of the population.
mrs rubble Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I'm the one with the money in my relationship, I've only ever dated one rich guy and he was the most tight fisted bloke I've ever met!
Grumpybutfun Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 GP, you need to make your humor more pronounced...some people are taking this thread way too seriously. I liked the zinger...good to see you again making us all smile. G 5

Luckily I haven't dated men with this mindset nor does my husband have it. Not a lot of men make the income I make. But a man who defines a woman by her income level and it's potential reflection on his ego would be a deal breaker.

Well i can tell you that if a guy only makes 40k a year and the woman he is dating makes twice as much or close to it the relationship is not going to work out IMO. Unless the guy is good looking and good looking one in the relationship. I know from first hand experience talking to guys that make less than there GF . Almost every fight she will use the old I make more than you and your a POS that does nothing . My mother was right your good for nothing. That is how woman fight they find some thing your sensitive about and throw it in your face. I believe a relastionship should equal but how can it be if one makes so much more money?
MidwestUSA Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) One occasionally sees an odd couple that are financially mismatched in that she has more money. But your observations are very realistic. I'm half of one of those odd couples. So, if you lose your wealth, GP, look me up. I think you still owe me a snow shoveling and I owe you 'lunch', or whatever they're calling it nowadays. ETA: maybe admin could assign you your own font? Giant gold letters, perhaps?

So, you don't think that some men who make more do the same thing? Use his money for leverage? I personally have never met a man who made a lot more than me who also didn't feel that his money bought him more in the relationship and I was supposed to roll over on the big things because of that. How about finding someone who knows how to fight constructively? That's what this is about... If this particular person didn't make more, they would find some other way to gain an edge.
