Women who only want rich men
How do you explain all the lower class people who have kids then? Because people want someone similar to themselves.
Upper class men generally want upper class women unless it’s a one night stand or trophy wife.
That counts me out, as I am middle class. Who wants to date the upper class if you aren’t one? They’re quite painful to be around at times.
I can’t relate at all to upper or lower class people. I’m comfortable around the middle class. A lot of people are the same. They gravitate to who they’re comfortable around.
I can fake being upper or lower class for short periods of time but it drains my energy after a couple of hours. How on earth could a relationship work in this case?

That is a cool thing I suppose..
But yeah I care more about connecting to a person than any of that. Me and my boyfriend can barely afford a 1 bedroom apartment, luckily we don't want kids or it would be even harder. Also that is with his full time employment and my SSI....like you'd think a guy working full time could afford a 1 bedroom on his own, no....if it was not for my SSI payment in addition we would not afford the apartment we live in. He feels bad about that even though I think I should contribute as much as I can to help afford our bills and such. But still he works so many hours and we still have to stress about income. I am also working on getting work, working with voc rehab so yeah I hope I can get a job to help supplement our income...the place we live is so sh***y, like its just gotten worse and worse so we really want to move out in November when our lease is up. Like just bad to worse....I finally got the stupid teen to quit hanging out around my apartment playing loud music on her phone(its a gigantic sensory issue for me). Left a note on the door of her aparment directed to her mom...to tell her teen to please stop blasting music on her phone evertime she walks by my door(that is what she did, like it wasn't like she just had it on while coming in and took a minute to turn it off...its like she would not even have music on her phone playing than there would be a huge blast of it right outside my front door like she was deliberately turning it up every time she walked by my door). So on the note I asked that the mom tell her to stop doing that, and also to tell her to leave my ash-try alone. So either the mom got the note and talked to her about it....or the teen saw it first and removed it as maybe she did not want her mom to see the part about her smoking cigarettes. Either way she has not been hanging out next to my apartment playing loud music on her phone or doing it when she comes in....so maybe finally I don't have to deal with that anymore.
I mean good god I'm a metalhead, I listen to metal at somewhat loud volume sometimes...I keep it reasonable because I know it is a small building and so I try to keep my music in my apartment. So I don't get it...like if I can listen to crazy extreme metal at a reasonable volume to respect that other people live around me....why can't people play hip hop and pop music at a reasonable volume? Its like wow you don't have to blast it at full volume all the time.
Sure if I dated a rich guy with his own house I would not have to deal with any of that kind of thing, but then I wouldn't have my boyfriend. I'd have some other guy...so yeah if someone wants to give me a better offer with wealth and and stability for the rest of my life I'll tell them to f*ck off because I want to stick with my boyfriend. What good would wealth do if that is all you're after....do monetary objects really cause anyone joy? I would rather have great moments with my boyfriend and die poor than settle for someone just because of money and die lonely.

And who between 20-35 actually has that going for them? Like I might be out of touch but where do you live that there are so few poor people? Some kind of totally yuppified area? I just can't understand it because I don't know a anyone in that age group who has that going for them...unless they have parents helping them out or grew up wealthier. Like I don't know of any self made middle class people in my age group. I mean I think things are bad with my SSI income, but at least I qualify for that due to disability.....people without disability are on their own unless of course they have parents helping them/already grew up wealthy and with more opportunities. And I am not hateful towards people better off per say, but anyone I know who is doing better financially has more support from others. Like more money coming from their family and such. But anyone doing it on their own is struggling.
So IDK how every single girl within possible travel distance from your location is only after rich guys? If so than they are really delusional based on the current state of things in this country. So yeah I guess i don't see how that is possible that every single girl in possible visiting distance only wants a 100% stable middle class or above guy.....like i doubt all the women in the area grew up like that.
Like do these 20 year olds only want to date 40+ guys or pampered wealthy kids, that is literally the only thing any woman within thousands of miles wants and will accept nothing else? I am sure there are at least some less well off women who would be more open minded to someone who is not so well off them-self.

You can be middle class and poor. You can be lower class and rich. It’s not about the money, it’s about the type of person.
I’ve been poor, worked a bar and in student debt in the past but it doesn’t change who I am.
People might think I’m being rude but I’m being honest. Who are you most comfortable around? That’s probably what you are.

I can answer all your questions in one sentence. They don’t all want rich men. Actually I have never met many people who classify “Not rich” with deal breaker. There was one lower class woman who thought that, but she is a lazy, entitled b***h. Gold diggers I would say are less than 10% of people.
Who is even “rich” before they are 40? 1% of people.

My parents are upper middle class but when they got married, all they owned was a sofa and a ute. Worked hard for everything they have. No inheritance, just blood, sweat and tears.
I may be annoying and angry but my parents are honest hard workers and good people.
A little different from what the OP was talking about, but when posting in forums for NLDers (people with non-verbal learning disability) there were women who admitted to quickly marrying men (not always rich) as a "stop-gap measure" after years of abuse and failure in the job market. Not all "gold diggers" are such by choice. Some are by necessity.

One of the strangest conversations i had on a dating app:

I changed topic because I was sure she would lecture me how one can be so rich with hard work without telling the fact how rich her parents are....like how Ivanka Trump wrote a book lecturing how people (women in her book) can be rich.
And I was in no mood to listen to such oblivious lectures.
Women who focus only on a man's bank account are so misguided. I mean, if he's rich.. cool.. but it's only one box checked off. Does he have the face of a supermodel? The body of an Olympian? How many New York Times Best Sellers has he published? How many inventions has he patented, and have they significantly changed the world? You can't just settle for any old billionaire, you've got to have standards.
A supposedly wealthy man propositioned me a few months ago. While I was flattered that he found me attractive, he wanted sex for money and I'm not a prostitute so I can only surmise he did not approach a professional because he thought he would get a discount with me. Needless to say, I did not change professions that day, and if I had, I would not have given him a discount.
A lot of rich men do marry, and they do so for the same reasons other men do. I disagree that all men loath gold diggers though. There are some very rich men and money and class and status are important to them and they marry like minded women, knowing those things appeal to her. They do not see it as being taken advantage of. They see it as a fair business exchange because they see her as an accessory and compliment to their lifestyle, and readily use their wealth to attract such a mate.
Donald Trump might be a good example of this. He seems to like people to know he is a rich man and he seems to like to use beautiful women as accessories.
Does he also hope she really loves him? I couldn't say. His idea and understanding of love might be different than that of most people. He did, after all, cheat on his previous wives so fidelity is not something he associates with love.
