A relational "Partnership" should be the blending of.....

Spiritual, Social, Intellectual and Worldly resources for the

benefit of.......Both!

If the finances are priority, this often turns into a tug of war.

Keep the relationship Primary and all else secondary and it'll all

work out!!!

Gotta be some smooth give n take!!!!

The only reason a man is important for the love, not his money. Women need compliments and want to be pampered, not with material things, although those are nice, but with gestures.


When I read the profiles of some women, I see that they are looking for a man for reasons other than for love.

I find the same thing when I read the profiles of most men.

Well then they are not looking for a relationship, they are looking for a banker with good credit.

I have repeatedly found three types of men here and in real life.

1. Those looking for a free ride and a mommy.
2. Those looking exclusively for sex.
3. Those looking for the traditional wife to keep them company.

I am none of these things and I doubt I will find a guy who isn't looking for one of the above and who would be interested in me. Which is okay. I get it. But, I keep my heart open...just in case. At least next time, assuming there is a next time, I will know what to watch out for. I'm a lot less naive then I was when I first started dating again. I hope.

I've dated quite a few rich guys, yes money is great to have, but I was spoilt enough as a little girl, so I really don't have any interest in dating a guy for money whatsoever. Money just doesn't draw me in.

While most of us may like to play down the role money plays in our love lives, as a normal necessity for normal human living, what are your views on the role of money in determining the success or otherwise of a relationship?


As long as he is paying his fair share; I am good with it. Dated a couple of leeches that would expected me to pay for everything and one even lived with me. He didn't pay the bills or even help with the household chores. :angry:

Unless you plan on living in the woods off of the land money is needed to survive. Love doesn't feed you or keep a roof over your head.


Words from the wise. :thumbsup:

I personally wouldn't put up with a lEECH :( While i wouldn't ever wish to shirk my responsibilities, it really enhances a relationship if a lady has some source of income on her own :-)
And a man who doesn't have any fire inside him to make something out of his life is surely a NO GO AREA for any lady who wishes well for herself!

I have heard that arguments over money are one of the most common reasons that marriages break up.
So I guess its very important.I personally don't want to be anybodies meal ticket nor do I want them to be mine.

it depends mostly on the individual, but I think generally

if people are 'equally yoked' financially, there is less of a chance of either feeling the upper hand or feeling used by having the other dependent upon them for the bulk of their resources, wants, and needs


I know at this point, I do not care to struggle through with someone that has less than I have, we would have to be at an equal status or he would have to be at a slightly higher status that I could work toward without ever feeling DEPENDENT upon his finances,,,
