We also differ by those that do persist of needing a partner and those that don't need a partner.

OP is misleading.
Rich people have it easier to end up in a relationship where they will be wanted because of their money and most likely their partner will take away most of their money as soon as they have a child and divorce them.

Now is that the kind of love you are looking for?, if so go for it but I wouldnt wish it on anyone not even the people that used me in the past.

My taste has given me no luck.

I don't know your tastes but. No such thing as a standard too high because attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. I know some people disagree but that's the conclusion I've reached. If you've had no luck maybe it's cause you have rare and unusual qualities that it would take a rare and unusual person to appreciate.

I never said no cash, I meant like buying something for thousands on a day to day basis like a diamond ring a day.
Also back in the older years, you did not get anywhere near that amount so you can't say it never was the norm. What about all the old days of courting?

Pfft, in the OLD days of courting, marriages were arranged based upon economics alone. Just straight out, love had nothing to do with it. Also until the 1970s, it was straight out expected, not an option, that you pay for all dates with a female. So things have actually gotten much easier now, in fact, poor people have much better chances of dating rich people, due to transportation being more widely available, and the internet overall opening the world. So poor people, for example, can travel to "rich" places much easier.

I think have an amount of money to live comfortably is important, but anything into the "excessive" is nice, but definitely not something i'd base or keep a relationship on.

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...

You used to be pretty "White Knight"-ish", now you sound more like me...

Im just trying to say that being "loved" because of your money isnt as good as some male members would like to think and this is clearly a grass is allways greener scenario

very true, but i guess it depends on the person. Im sure hugh heffner isnt complaining much, but you know theres plenty other rich guys trying to downplay themselves to find a good woman who loves him for himself and not his money.

Maybe so MXH, however those that want a partner with money will not change their preference.

no, and for that reasontheyre likely to remain single and lonely unless they have something extreme enough to be wanted by those with money. And maybe in years of singlehood would change their standards.

Yes, yet that depends on the personality and whether the person wants to change themselves.

Not just in dating, but in everything.

Not really. Money doesn't make you happy, and you can still be very rich yet profoundly depressed.
