You get it.

Though I fear she is just an NT playing 'the game.' And me in the long run.

P.S. It isn't physical, but she knows it will be. Like having an interest in maths, you just know how to do it. It's like knowing your good at maths vs doing maths, doing it isn't as easy as knowing you can, but if you work at it, you can solve the 'problems' and get the answer/result.

It's more of an interest in quality of life and standard of living-Money is the 'engine' to get those things. Hence money being the biggest factor. Money being my interest too.

Come on man, don't you know she is just playing you? There are plenty of women who are just after money, and who would they target? That's right, someone they feel doesn't know what their true motives are. You may have a lack of social skills, but you know what's going on here. She thinks she has you right where she wants you. So it's time to turn the tables on her.

I respect honesty. And the occasional slap.

The easiest way to avoid gold diggers is to not marry, and avoid living in places with inclusive common law marriages(That is common law marriage that don't require both partners to call themselves married.) The only thing you would be liable for financially is children, and you can still keep your money separate this way.

As a totally pragmatic matter, if two people can still get their needs met in a relationship, it shouldn't be that big a deal if someone is more drawn by the money than the person, as long as they live up to their part of the contract: love me, at least pretend to love me, be there for me, don't cheat on me, don't get cranky that the marriage is missing something, don't blame me for your choice to make this bargain. But, it has to be the deal both parties are willing to make. Most people usually aren't.

Social blindness makes it difficult to tell..


That's a fact of life for NTs and Aspies. If you have money, others will always go after it.

I don't get why everyone thinks this guy is a troll? His wording may be a little unclear, but nothing he's saying is trollish.

That sounds cool...I have my aims for a good job as well. I don't know that I'm smart enough to make loads of money. I'll be happy when I get a good paying job.

You can't make real money working for someone else.
