Good post. I like wealth too but I will obtain it on my own. Hell would freeze over before I ever would depend on a man for wealth.

Hiya, yes and fairplay to you, I don't need a man for his money, my point being, you cannot live on love alone, I have been the "poor sod" to many times, now at 56 I wont beg steal or borrow ever again,so no mam , no matter how sweet or cute he is will make me drop down on my arse again. Equal rights spring to mind, going Dutch at restaurants and I always but my round in the pub . I wish you luck in your search and I often check out your posts as I find maybe you very interesting . Annyjo x

You sound a lot like me and you are so right that you can't live on love alone as that is pure crap. I like the idea of going Dutch myself. That way; the guy can't guilt you into owing him anything. I have accomplished much on my own and very close to paying off my house and proud to say that not one man has put one single dime into helping me paying it off. I got a bit of help with some renos both from guys and girls but I always have returned the favour and helped out my friends with their renos as well. Aww, thanks for saying I am interesting; I just look at things in a more unique way. I use more common sense and less emotion when approaching life's problems. One of my exes said I was very analytical which frustrated him very much as he couldn't elicit the emotional response which he expected from me being a woman. LOL

Love you in your boat!! But i know people are attracted by wealth moreso women than men, now please don't crusify me for saying this because i don't mean" ALL WOMEN" but as the saying goes "if the shoe fits"!! A man can go out every night searching for a date and it could take weeks to find ONE but any Woman can get a date every night if she wanted one. It all depends on your Morals and standards in your search!! Look at my profile,I post a bus in it not my home,truck,or anything of value,nor do i get dressed up in expensive clothing!! This doesn't mean i can't afford "the look" it means i'm not materialistic as most on here. Yes i do have these material objects,but i'm not going to gloat and rub them in your face as bait neither!! I'm me and don't change that for anyone!! I post and send each of my Female viewers a kiss for viewing me. Anyone contacting me can and will be met by someone respectable!! I treat all on here with respect as should be done and if you don't want to contact or meet me,"Well that's your loss not mine!!" So on we go with mingle 2!! "Wishing all the Best"!!

Thanks but it's not my boat; just a friends. I agree with what you are saying but the same goes for men are just looking for sex; not a real commitment. Not all men but it as you say "if the shoe fits". Really which is worse a woman looking to use a man for money or a man looking to use a woman for sex? I think both are equally bad and I have no respect for these men and women. Me; don't give a crap what guys think of me and I am living my life the way I choose; not by anyone else's standard. If that means remaining alone for the rest of my life; then that is what was meant to be. Too old to play these mindless dating games anymore anyways.

Agree with you 100%. These days and times its hard to believe someone all your life!! Times are changing and my thoughts are not for the best!! With internet dating its worse. With all the dating sites on here,even the not so desirable ones its harder and more demanding to self screen anyone that contacts you,then figure out why! Then hopeing for the best match and then meeting then! Then the dating,meeting begins (or not) ! But the steps must be taken if you ARE using this site for Honest reasons! Dishonesty takes a while but is usually dectible but again this takes time some even years before letting your chosen partner know your stature in life! Even after Marriage they keep their true selves hidden!! My last wife showed herself after 5 years,then prolonged the Divorce another 3 years knowing she would be entitled to my Social Security(or part) after 10 years. Boy was she pissed after it was over and wasn't entitled to any other assets of mine that was before the marriage, and too late after the divorce!! Careful Does Prevail!

This is so true that people do keep their true selves hidden. Myself; I never have which is why I can't have a relationship. I can't pretend to be something I am not. For instance; I shouldn't have to pretend I can't do something just to make a guy feel better about himself. I believe we all have our skills and the one thing you learn in the military is to share your skills; work as a team. I never could understand why a relationship can't work that way. People are so brainwashed into how each gender should act and behave and personally I have always found that silly as we should as "humans" be able to think outside of the box but however that is just how I see it. Glad to hear your wife can't touch your social security. I know two guys; one being my brother that were able to get out of having their ex-wives take part of their pensions; so sometimes there are happy endings.

I want a hard working man, one who never was hesitant to get a JOB, one that he could support himself and not look to others for help to do that. I am not a gold digger, but have No plans of supporting a man who can not seem to keep his own head upbove water. Never was something I looked for in Life, a Lazy man. Most women wouldn't want a man that couldn't contribute some CASH to a "relationship" if she had one.

Agree with both of you!! Again it happens to both men and women on the "users" in todays society. Its not that hard if they think you are gullible and can't live without them!! Give them enough rope they always hang themselves!!

I don't want that kind of life style...I am happy with the simple thing's in life

Women don't make as much money as men in general. Its too bad, but that is still the case most of the time. However they do have something that men want.

A man who lures a woman in with his money or possessions is baiting her. He may have no intention of marriage or giving her anything. He just wants what he wants and he may be willing to pay for it or he might just want to con her.

A woman who uses her sexuality to attract a man with money is no better, but women don't normally chose a man with no means of support if she is looking for a husband. There are a lot of lonely women who end up supporting a lazy man who just can't seem to get his chit together.

Money for sex is the oldest profession in the world masquerading as courtship.

Courtship itself is not much better. A woman wants a man who can support her and her children if she is of child bearing age. A man may want a replacement for his own mother. A woman who will cook, clean, and be his hostess and help mate and sex partner and having his children.

So what happens when two people are on equal ground? Now they have to actually be compatible, like and even respect each other.

A new concept I know, but its about time for it.

Hi, I am new to this site, but no I don't think all women are attracted to wealth! I know that that is not what I am looking for. I was raised as a farmer/ trucker daughter, with good morals and values.

Real love comes from within, from the heart! Yes I do believe there has to be a certain degree of attraction, because even myself I am guilty of stereotyping sometime. But with time I learned that a man can attract you with his big heart and his inner beauty.

Of course if I had money I would enjoy it, but would not use it to find romance. I am a nature and country women, and living in a nice log home by the side of a lake would make me very happy, versus being with a man that flounts his money to cheat and lie.

If a women is just a player, fine look for money to get spoiled and all, but in the end are you happy, I don't think so!

Well no, I totally understand what you mean. I do not want to be with a lazy sleaze ball, and yes money does make you happier! But not only money, o course a women will be attracted by wealth. But if you are truly and honestly looking for real love, wealth is not the only factor. It helps but does not make you totally happy.
I have struggled all my life, and I would love to be spoiled and be able to relax a bit for a change! But not if the man is going to use his money to hook every women he can and lie to me.
We are all different, but that is my honesty!

I feel same way infact I dont even look at most men with money. I think I would feel out of place with a rich man and the people around them.Money cant buy love spirital connections or anything I am looking for.

The way I feel is "what is the man's before the marriage remains his, what is the woman's before marriage remains hers," but what you obtain during the marriage belongs to the both of you or it should.

After my 1st marriage i learned to keep things simple and separate!! I have been working now for over 40+years and have learned the hard way that it is not "cheaper to keep her"! With a non contested divorce here you file yourself for less than $200.00! And if they think you "have nothing" then why fight anyway? 3 appearances in court its done. no fuss no muss. If she holds up her part in the marriage then she deserves half. But these days without a prenuptial then you are a fool!! If children are involved then Yes Child Support should be Mandatory to be paid! Then again you have Women getting Pregnant just for this reason? As well as Lazy Azz Men not wanting to support their Children they Father? Fair Law since the Government puts so many on paying Citizens,Woman- 3 Children by 3 different daddys= Tubes tied Men-2 Children by 2 different Mothers=Castrated! Especially if you won't support them,and after you get a paternal test!! Make parties Responsible!! Personally i'm Getting Tired of supporting other peoples Children and their Lazy Azz too! Sorry just Venting i guess!! I'm better now?

Money can't buy happiness, it can make life better. Since I have never alot,I don't mess it.

No- But very cautious in real life or"LOONEY-TUNES" cyber-"spaaaaaaaaccceeee!"

all women are not looking for wealthy men. I myself believe money cannot buy love

Personally, money does not matter much to me at all... Hey, I appreciate a guy stopping at the side of the road to pick wild flowers... it's the thought that counts~! I really like flowers, so it's not hard to please me.. much rather have a steak cooked on the grill at home than going out to spend a lot of money. but that's me.. am I so different than the rest of them out there?
