How much were your love partners alike physically?

[basscatcher]

I'm sure that most women do consider the earning potential and the financial means of the person they are thinking about dating -no one wants someone they have to support, or someone who is always broke and out of a job.

 

So, it goes without saying that a guy needs to be responsible in that area, too, although, he does not have to necessarily be wealthy.

 

Bravo---I very much agree.

 

I hae supported and bailed out so many men because they either have been irresponsible with their money or immature and can't hold a job. UGh..

I have a dimple....it's at the end of my cock.

It's not wrong to consider income level, -it's just wrong to make it the end-all be-all of your decision.

In general...the more attractive the woman the more weight she puts on her potential partner's income level. That is the reality RIO.

lol I was going to say if I didn't see a real pic of you and you looked like that sweaty-makeup running-scary looking clown then I'd say looks were the prob..

 

Your beautiful B_O... You have nothing to fear...

if she has her own money, KC, then her desire to want a man of equal or better financial means is even greater. do you ever see a female lawyer married to a mechanic? NO!

Do you think that's more about intellect than money? How about female professionals that are married to struggling writers or artists?

those marriages usually end in divorce.

Where are you getting your stats alpha? In your own opinions?

[kitten chick]

Why do you think that is?

[alphamale]

Why do you think that is?

because women that have to support a man will eventually lose respect for him. and once her respect is gone then so is she. I mean, I can see younger professional women who are attractive marrying some starving artist type but after a few years she'll split and the next dude she marries will be more financially well off.

[whichwayisup]

If he ends up at stay at home daddy, then I have to say the marriage won't end. Plus, these days it is quite normal for women to be the breadwinner in the family. AND...Most men are slowly learning to get rid of the ego and not have issues that the woman in his life makes more than him or is more successful careerwise.

 

JUST my 2.5 cents!

I wrote this post like 3 times and all I'm really going to say is that I can't see how someone would lose respect for someone else based on their monetary value.

Nothing in common whatsoever, apart from all being female and not ugly.

Alpha,

 

In regards to women who are financially well-off marrying men with lesser income.

 

I believe I am qualified to speak on that subject.

 

When I married my last husband, he was earning an annual sum far below his potential.

 

He was also heavily in debt and his business just sucked, due to bad management.

 

The existing problems did not deter me from marrying him because I could see all the problems and knew they were 'fixable'.

 

I married him, and within two years his business was out of debt and doing amazingly well.

 

I will not go into great detail, but the point is, -financial problems are usually solvable, ***with effort***.

 

Did the marriage last? No. The suddenly problem-free business, and the money being generated caused a common reaction in my husband, -greediness. It all went to his silly, balding, little head.

 

And that, along with the seriousness of his Bipolar Illness, caused the marriage to crumble.

 

Was his sad financial state an issue for me in deciding to marry him? No.

 

I saw tremendous potential in his skills and talents that only needed to be tapped, organized, encouraged, and put to work.

 

He was certainly happy with the results, -perhaps, a little too happy.....he decided after three years he could do it all by himself.

 

So how did that go?

 

(Smile)...he's back to square one....and looking the world over for another Rio.

 

But there's only one, -and she isn't looking back.

Rio,

your story is indeed heartwrenching... and a little similar to mine. Now that my H is doing well in his business, he acts like the all-mighty around me.

 

It got so bad that I was seriously thinking of leaving him. That seems to be a wake-up call for him.... He knows that he won't be able to find another wife like me.

 

Money is not everything... but it is decidedly important in any relationship. I did not fall in love with my husband because he had money (he didn't). But because of the amount of money that is involved between us, I am giving this marriage a chance, and so is he.

That's why you should never marry someone with the idea of changing them. Even if you succeed in changing them for the better, they might not appreciate it at all.

[riobikini]

Mental Traveller,

 

I agree with you, in regards to approaching with extreme caution those who obviously have alot of improvements that are necessary in order to be suitable partners.

 

No one should marry with the idea in mind of changing someones basic tendencies.

 

However, we are not always privy to certain of those tendencies, no matter how hard we try to uncover them, that is, until sometime later, -too late- when the negative aspects of a personality begins to emerge.

 

Even if we allow adequate time for the discovery of as many of the negatives as we can -in order to evaluate them, and see whether we can live with them or not- there is that aggravating (and sometimes humiliating) element of unexpected surprise when something we do as a 'gift' , or an act of supportive "help" turns to (for lack of better and more specific terms) sh*t, and we are face to face with the little monster(s) that lie beneath all the 'love'.

 

But even the little monsters have a way of cowering, scattering, and searching for corners to hide in, after they are proven to be nothing more than petty little thieves and short, silly, ego-thirsty clowns, who depend on the strength of others to survive, and have gone to great lengths to appear successful (all at your expense), and contribute little more than heartache that is lasting.

 

But you are correct, -these people, if they could have made those improvements themselves, or have been a success in the true sense of the word- would have appeared so, or been so, at the "get-go".

 

 

Yours,

-Rio

Alot of my ex's were not alike physically. One was taller than me, some older, some younger. After the younger ones, I prefer older women. Different races, ages, body shapes, and economic backgrounds. Some are bigger and smaller, long legs, petite, even down to arm hair.

 

A few weeks ago a girl and I were glancing at one another, few days later and 1 week later we bumped into each other again but still ships passing in the night and WE STILL LOOKED at each other walking by. A few times in a few weeks and glancing at each other even after getting "denied." I think I'll bump into her again. She is someone who I wouldn't consider, intelligent, taller, quite eloquent speeches, nice voice, younger (almost 10 years younger) and asian.

 

My feelings are physical appearences can be augmented. I did that for a female friend once. Took her shopping and made her appearence "hot" in a classy way. So physical things can be changed or augmented. Heck ugly ducklings can turn into geese and swans with "time and money". Now what is under the skin is another issue. Personality is what I look for.
