Mama always told me, " you can fall in love with a rich man, just as easily as a poor man!"

Ok, Ladyjuju here with another thought provoking question up for debate!!........With all these posts with men saying they are not sharing any of their money with women, and if women are looking for a man to look after them...etc..blah blah blah!!
My Mom use to always tell me, it is just as easy to fall in love with a Rich Man, then a poor man! ....and of course I did not get it in my early years! However, now I do feel she did make a lot of sense! And this really goes both gender ways!..so guys, I am not attacking you gents!
But if you really think about it, when you meet someone and start to get to know them, you become interested in them for everything they are, be it kind, good looking, sexy, common interests and values..etc.. but what if that extra bonus was MONEY. They become a package so to speak! And you fall in love with them for everything they are, they represent, and their money! So what? Do you have to hide the fact that this is one of the reasons you have fallen for them? Why? Because people are going to think your shallow, your just after his or her money? Come on, let's get real here. All things being equal if you met 2 prospective partners, you had fallen madly for, but one had money and the other didn't.........who would you choose?
And let's be honest here.........

But then you'll have to keep him.

Day by day, knowing the "younger models" are looking to fall in love with exactly the same man you did ...

Having to learn how to cope in his part of society, or being left home ...

Kinda lot like work.

I'd rather trust myself to support myself, because, well, I trust myself.

In all honesty it wouldnt matter. Money (like possessions) can buy you a lot of things but it also has a lot of built-in baggage! Look at the things that people will do to keep it/them! As long as a man is working hard, is responsible and insanely smart I really dont care how much moolah he brings home.

No she is not, and I take offense to your reply! She is one heck of a very wise woman that the world needs more of!

The one with the stronger character...poverty and riches alike have corrupting influences...one out of desperation and the other out of greed. Regardless if I've won the Texas state lotto...still need to have a purposeful career path. Woman can't live on bread or a husband alone..our lives have a deeper meaning than that.

Sure, most issues can apply either way.

My experiennce is money is the most important criteria women use - especially around the inflection point where he either falls short of or exceeds her pay.

Men care much less, though their reactions to being taken advantage of seems to be increasing.

But then, I don't have to worry nearly as much about my appearance-care.

For instance, I have never even had the opportunity to "fall in love" with a wealthy woman. I will readily admit, as I have many times, that I would not attempt a relationship with a woman who would lower my standard of living (though I seem to be pretty extreme on this issue.)

I've never considered how much a man makes when I accept a date. I'm not dating his wallet and I can more than support myself. I probably know his occupation and can surmise his salary, but the chance of finding two men that are perfect in every respect except for money is slim to none. I have enough trouble finding one!
