If..a girl makes more money than them?

If..a girl is more financially stable & younger than he is?

If..a girl's parents are more well off than his parents?

 

Can that make a guy not commit?

Yes for the second and third for me.

If a guy feels intimidated by this stuff, he is terribly immature, insecure and irrational and she wouldn't want to be around him anyway.

I guess there are more guys out there than I think that are like that. so if you really liked the girl, how would you overcome that?

This depends on the guy. I'm with Tony T on this one.

 

Me personally?

 

1. Nope.

2. This might intimidate me if hearing her experiences brings back evilly painful memories of being (relatively) less effective in creating financial stability and/or advancement. But that's a function of my experiences in life so far, not the fault of any woman, and wouldn't make me not want to have a relationship with her. Personally, even if nothing happened between me and such a woman, I'd at least like to learn about her and learn a bit about her secrets.

3. Nope.

I want to make more money than the girl so she likes me better but I dont hold it as a negative if she makes more.

 

In my particular case most every ones parents are better off then mine so I cant let that affect me, I just go in asuming

 

Id say a girl who has no time for anything but work and has parents that anoy the guy are more likely to be things that make some one not want to commit

That's why you got a bunch of female friends.

I would welcome all three of those that would be a god send.

As a very career-oriented woman, guys' insecurity about my success is something I have had to confront quite often (it always creeps up when I least expect it, as in: me :'honey, I got that internship in Barcelona!' him: "why do good things only happen to you?" (yes yes that one is history).

 

But a musician friend of mine explained that career women are intimidating because if she is more successful then the guy, then that means that her career will 'overtake' his (when they have children for instance).

 

But basically yeah, it only means I have to find someone who is as secure in his career as I am.

For me no... most of the women I've bumped in the past made more money and her parents are better off than my parents.

 

In regards to financially stable AND younger, no... most of mine were older than me.

 

Did I commit to any of them, well I'm still single and never married; did propose to a few. :)

Boys would be intimidated, men wouldn't be. (That darn maturity thing again.);)

Posted

Would'nt bother me unless it bothered her, so no.

Posted

No, I wouldn't be. The only thing I'd want the girl to know is that I'm not into her for the money.

Well, it's not exactly those things that make a guy not commit, it's his insecurity about those things that makes him not commit. You've done nothing wrong, so what is it? It's how he views those things (assuming that's why he's not commiting).

 

I dated a girl who was pretty well off. I eventually broke up with her (or we broke up) but that was certainly a factor on the plus side for me, but I had to be true to myself...

I was wondering if there was a guy out there that had been in that situation, similar to mine. Was there any way that you "could've" been comfortable with the situation? Was there any thing that she could've done different or to make you feel comfortable?

 

Well all in all, I think money shouldn't matter, but some guys might think different, and it could be an insecurity that they can't overcome.

On the other hand, it would be silly for a lady to intentionally make less money because she's afraid of scaring guys off.

yes that would be ridiculous & weak. every woman should want to make a good living for herself despite what annyone else thinks.

Never regret your success. The answer is MEN are not intimidated. Boys are. And who wants to be in a serious relationship with a boy?

Posted

Yes yes yes, all that is right. And nothing she did made me feel uncomfortable. I was proud of her and felt good about being with someone so successful. Boy, I could have quit my job...:(
