Great Moments in WP Love & Dating History
You are reading something into my post that isn't there. You are making a judgement against me now.
I have to back MCalavera on this one. Beauty and wealth can both be transient qualities, but wealth seems to be a step removed from physical attraction itself. I can see being attracted to the trappings of wealth (prettier wrapping paper, so to speak), or maybe even to the qualities that brought wealth to the individual (smarts or work ethic, etc). To pick out wealth specifically as a main quality to orient on seems shallow to me.

@MCalavera If you were not passing judgement about smudge shallowness then sorry about that.
And Boo, I's assume being attracted to wealth would include it's trappings and possible associated qualities. I don't know, really, it doesn't attract me personally anyway. But I've no coded every time someone admits to such a thing all guys jump to that woman's throat, and I don't think that's right. And for the record I'm not stating any of you guys has done that yet, but it is very common behaviour

I never said that. Stirring things up are we?
And MjrMajorMajor? F*ck you. It does take courage to admit being attracted to something like wealth, and for the record, it doesn't f*cking mean that's ALL I go for, or that it's the minimum criteria. I would expect better reasoning from someone like you.
How comes nobody jumps on those whose criteria is absolutely NO fat girls, or NO ugly girls? I can't imagine anything more shallow. There's plenty of fat-bashing on here and frankly, I think it's sickening. My preference isn't ONLY for wealthy men, it's just something else that's attractive, like beauty. It doesn't mean I won't date poor men - you've all immediately jumped to that conclusion and have made a huge error of judgement on me.
It's all too easy for you all to jump down my throat and assume the worst.
As for power - lots of women are attracted to that, as they are to wealth. I'm pretty sure people like MjrMajorMajor are into it but they haven't got the f*cking guts like me to admit it.
And Shatbat - you weren't making a judgement against MCalavera, he was making a judgement against me and you simply said that it wasn't worth judging me. Thank you for standing up for me.

Well, now. To each his own. You may state your opinion, but to personally attack me for mine is a poor sport, and pretty offensive at that.
I'm a pretty lowbrow gal at heart, and wealth seems to come with it's own set of trappings I prefer not to deal with.
As for power, there are many different types and types of wielders of it. Too broad of a statement for me to express a blanket decisive opinion one way or the other.

I might have confused with someone else, I recall another user who was like you on this matter - so if it's the case then I am sorry.

I have learned that the 'post a picture of yourself' is a big help in dating.
I saw my boyfriend's picture on there, sent him a message saying he looked good, and things went from there!

Ok, that was a great (and creepy) L&D moment but I've talked too much
OMG she went on to the male´s forum pretending to be a male to try to get members to send her fancy pms...
Her post were a bit weird but I miss seeing her interacting with people and hoping to impress everyone here

Yea, I think she was the one who said she only befriends rich people.
People here aren't exactly nice to these so-called PUA trolls either. Go a few years back in time, and you'll see that many frustrated men both here and everywhere else on the internet were just as misguided, and had just as much faith in PUA. I know for a fact that one of the sticky threads in this section was exclusively about PUA and not at all about actual tips on how to improve your dating prospects when you had Asperger's syndrome.
Fine, it wasn't ill-thought out.
I don't believe that. I don't care if you don't find me "mysterious". I just pointed out that you suddenly reversed your opinion of my post deletions.
Yes you were honest, but you were pointing out my shortfall with rolling eyes as if what I do is a bad thing. It is true you said it was mysterious when I deleted my posts before. You never used to have a problem with it.
You're right, I did overreact. However, I am not apologising to anyone. Simply because, everyone made huge assumptions about me and about anyone who thinks wealth is attractive.
There are people who find certain looks attractive, and there are people who think wealth is attractive. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? It's just another form of shallowness. So f*cking what? Everybody is shallow whether those self proclaimed angels here admit it or not.
And I'm not some gold digger. I don't actively look only for wealthy people - that would be stupid and limit my potential to get perfectly decent dates. And I don't look down on poor people like those on here who judge fat and "ugly" people. The people who assume such ridiculous things about me really can go and f*ck themselves. There are people on here who outright refuse to date fat people, and yet I'M the one who gets stomped on just for stating that I find wealth attractive.
I just can't people on here seriously anymore. Why bother? You just get attacked with assumptions made about you and even when you do explain yourself - people keep their heads firmly wedged up their arses and don't listen. Why bother to treat people here with respect when they blatently don't respect me?

You're entitled to like what you like, and you shouldn't pay too much mind to people that judge you for it.
We're almost all shallow in our own ways. No biggy.
Just know not everyone will agree with you, some might even be rather critical about your views. If someone goes a bit too far report it.
Lashing out any single thing inc. non-related criticism won't solve anything though.
FYI, there's always going to be an air of mystery about something that was said that gets removed if the reader doesn't get a chance to see it. Without seeing a post before its deletion its very hard to approve or disapprove, so of course I'm going to respect the decision of the person who asked a post be removed. Does that mean I can't form an opinion about someone who does this on a continual basis? Cmon! chill.
The thing about real life is... it rarely if ever gives us the opportunity to "take back" words as if they never happened whenever we make mistakes. We have to live with the words we have spoken, and build upon the foundations of any ruins. Sometimes, that may never be possible because what we say is simply too much. That is the beauty of opportunity and chance. I personally don't think you should have to defend yourself too much about what it is you like or don't like about suitors. That is your choice, and peoples' opinions are separate. I hope you choose to leave what you are saying up.
