MXH, I disagree as a Sugar Daddy can do it.
Mindslave, personally I wouldn't but many will because of the temptation of money when they don't know the person well enough but will stay for the cash, they are compelled by greed.

I doubt if i was rich i could get women.

You could get women if all you owned was an outfit made from this here plant.

And I can tell you from personal experience how wrong you are about that.

You've tried the rhubarb leaf method. I wasn't anticipating that.

So your saying that women weren't interested by the money and not change in your pocket as a teenager, did you have this money all the time? Also bear in in mind your only prejudging that you wouldn't get anywhere even with loads of money. You would be so wrong.

What is wrong with just trying to build a relationship without going to extreme spending?

Good luck with that. Try dating a woman when you have no cash to spend. She will rapidly become bored with you and with having to pay your way and hers all of the time.

If what she was interested in was your money instead of you, which hopefully is not the case. Some people do date a person cause they like them ya know!

Then tell me why there are so many homeless people who can't get a date. Personality only goes so far; you gotta have something to keep them interested in staying around when they can't stand you any more.

I don't have the statistics on dating in homeless populations. If it gets to the point where someone can't stand you anymore why pay them to stay around, why not find someone who loves you no matter what.

Because no one will love you "no matter what" for the rest of your life - "Happily Ever After" is a fairy-tale concept, after all.

No one? ...Not happily ever after, just for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, etc.

Those wedding vows? Did you know that as much as half of all first marriages in the US end in divorce? (Source: Divorce Statistics Website)

Did you know that, in spite of asserting the wedding vows "... In the sight of God and these witnesses ...", the top five reasons given for divorce are:

Infidelity / Adultery
Growing Apart / Irreconcilable Differences
Economic Stress / Poverty
Sexual incompatibility
Abuse / Abandonment

(Source: "5 Common Reasons for Divorce")

"Happily Ever After" is fairy-tale thinking. No one will ever love you for your own sake; they will love you because there is something about you that keeps them around - hot sex, cute looks, good cooking, unlimited credit...

All right, what if that something is your personality.

That has to be one of the most soul crushingly sad things I've read on this forum. It kind of hurts to read it.

Seriously. It makes me feel horrible for being a woman when I read a bunch of these threads, "you have tits therefore you're a money grubbing whore." :/

erisad - What about women on the web that go "you have balls therefore you are a lazy ballbag and don't listen to me." What comes around, goes around.
purchase - Personality can be a factor but not always compared to many others.

...I've never said that about a man. And even if women do say this, it's no excuse to stereotype a whole gender. Two wrongs don't make a right you know. Not all women look for money in a man just like all men don't look for skinny women. :/

Hey don't look at me like that as I dated someone that wasn't skinny, see I was interested in skinny but not totally thin. It was not right for me and not because I thought she had a big build, more to do with the personality she had.

Furthermore, I know men are capable of falling for women with money. Just that it's most common with rich men and young or attractive women.

Screw this fairy tale BS. Do you honestly think someone would love me just for me (considering the way I've described myself)? Huh? Just for my f*****g personality? And being nice?

At least Fnord is being honest. It doesn't even have to be about having a bunch of money (although that helps)

You have to have something: good looks, smarts, talents, charisma, wealth, (I'll put that in there) etc.

Something to draw a person in. I lack all of this stuff, among other stuff I haven't mentioned. I have been alone for my entire life.

No one going to date a person JUST because they have a nice personality.

Why do a lot of people strive for big money in a partner? I mean all that proves is that to get a person, you will need wages of top footballers.
What is wrong with just trying to build a relationship without going to extreme spending? Is it not the norm anymore?

Money = power, that's why. Plus there's a lot of gold diggers out there, of course.

See? It's unfair to generalize. And I have dated guys solely for their personality. Some had no money at all and were college dropouts. I found myself enamored by their personality. It didn't work out for personal reasons but none of it had to do with money or what job they did or did not have. :/
