Gold Diggers

Post Reply New Topic

Some women are attracted to riches……just like some men are attracted to riches.

Some people are just materialistic.

I'm not going to read 6 pages of replies so I'll try to stick to the original post.

I think some of this here in the US has to do with the different gender rolls & employment situation. Women tend to earn less money than men & lots of employers do not provide paid family & medical leave. Sometimes women risk losing their jobs for missing work for an extended period for things like pregnancy. Lots of people have their health insurance through their employers & if the employees lose their jobs they also lose their health insurance. Plus some employers have hour requirements for employees to keep their health insurance so sometimes when women miss a lot of work for reasons like pregnancy & maternity leave, they risk losing their health insurance even if they are technically still employed & working some. Also lots of women are raised with the expectation that a woman's primary job should be taking care of the household & the kids, aka domestic responsibilities. Considering these things it makes sense to me that women would be concerned about their partner's finachial situation. It would majorly s#ck for the family if a woman were to lose her job & health insurance due to her getting pregnant when she was the primary or equal finachial provider for the household

I have no experience dating gold diggers due to me being born with various disabilities. When I was working I was making just over federal minimum-wage & I was EXTREMELY LUCKY to get hired for those jobs. I've been told that lots of employers for those types of jobs get hundreds of apps & don't have time to go through them all. I do have disability benefits but the only benefits I ever had were SSI & Medicaid & nowadays I have Social Security Disability, Medicare, & Medicaid. Inflation always rapidly increases while various gov benefits & minimum-wage barely rise if at all. I MAJORLY struggled to get relationships as a result of being disabled. If I had come into a lot of money when I was single(like if my parents won the Powerball jackpot lottery) I'm sure I woulda had a much easier time getting a girlfriend/wife. I coulda afforded my own place & she would not of had to worry about needing to be employed nor dealing with gov benefits & paperwork & the stress of what we will do when the people in power abolish the Social Security system

My current girlfriend has various disabilities & has various gov benefits including housing & she never expected a relationship partner to provide for her financial needs. She believes she's very lucky to have someone to relates to her, understands her, & tries his best to be supportive. I want to provide more financially because it would be good for our mental health not to stress about money as much. Maybe I'll start looking for a part time job after Halloween. Cass is dealing with some health issues right now that would hopefully be better & we have travel plans to visit my parents at the end of next month.

I have visions of gold swirls of dust just reading the title of this thread. It's almost like Christmas.

Digging me would be like digging a septic field.

Digging me would be like changing a diaper.

Digging me would be as frustrating as listening to nails on a chalkboard.

Personally I am not going to marry someone if she does not come from the 9.9 percent in family income and wealth like I do.I just want to marry someone who comes from a similar economic background to me.

I honestly don't care about partner's net worth as long as they're responsible with what they're given and are not wasteful.

It usually comes from first-hand experience with how much effort it takes to earn. Partners who have never worked or live with their parents don't have a good appreciation of how much work something takes.

I'd rather be a gold spreader than a gold digger. I like to spread the gold around Christmastime.
