If a girl had money and she was willing to buy things for you, would that make you happy?
Believe it or not, there's two answers to that. Stunning: News Update! Money isn't everything!
I don't mean that in a rude way, money is usually a plus. Instinctually, women are drawn to those who can provide for a family. Same as men are drawn to women who seem capable of taking care of a newborn (I'm not going into details, people... Imagination should be good enough) It all can come back to our roots. I'm not saying all women are shallow and want money, because that's certainly not the case. But having money is never a bad thing!
Usually, especially as women and men get older, money starts to matter less and less as we get more settled in with the "real world". Having money is security though, and I can't think of a soul on this Earth who isn't looking for a little bit more security.
Sometimes it's social standing, as well. If the girl has a lot of money, she's probably not going to care if you have a lot of money. If the girl doesn't have any money, she'll probably be more drawn to someone with money.
Again, nothing is solid. There is always, ALWAYS exceptions... And to be an exception, all you need to be is "exceptional!"... Bad pun... ._.

It is attractive, I think, that a guy has money because it says security, plus girls are expensive

This is something I think varies from girl to girl, or well basically, any person to person. There are some people out there that are shallow enough just to use a person for their money and not actually care for them as a person, but then there are those who don't care about money or riches at all, and just want you to love them for them, and vice versa.
I personally, don't find money to be a huge thing. I want to be able to support myself for the most part, but at the same time, have something done for me every once in a while. And I'm saying, every once in a while. Not every day or week. That'd get old fast, and those things that you'd be bought would begin to seem worthless. It's the little things in life that count I think.
Granted, I think that most people do look at money as a plus. I mean, who wouldn't see money as a plus? Most girls just want to feel secure, and be taken care of. Know that the guy could support them if need be. I think it could even be the other way around. So yeah. That's what I think :S00 Reply

It's natuaral according to my psychology class ''' in a video we were watching '''' the study was to see which girls found attrive and after giving the mans job decribtion and others girls oftenly choose the rich one. but loving a guy just for money is lust... and today I was talking to my 7 year old sister about and I said my boyfriend is old rich and unattractive and she's was okay with that... then I told her my friends dating an old poor very attractive man and her reaction was EWWWWWWWWWWWWW... that is so gross! so I guess it does come into account, but if a guy doesn't show off his money I think the girl loves him for him nothoe much he makes and what not, I personally try my best to ignore guys when I'm talking to them when there like I have this and that and or change the subject becuse I start feeling like that's why I like them, but for me between feeling bad and wanting to love him for him I don't try to do that. I like guys that arn't lazy though. lol I don't want no scrub [>_<]

Girls like if a guy can take care of her. Most girls I know, myself included, wouldn't give a rich a-hole the time of day, but money sort of equals security in this society and to women in general, and what woman is not looking for security. I don't know many women who would sacrifice being treated well for being taken care of financially though. My sister-in-law used to date a guy that not only paid all her bills, but took her out most nights of the week and took her on trips, everything...she broke up with him because she felt "bought off". She said that he had no time to spend with her, so he just bought her stuff. She didn't want STUFF, she wanted a boyfriend. There are golddiggers in the world, but not all women care about that.

Of course ;D , I'd rather have someone who could take care of me and treat me , pay with hesitation and take me out anywhere , just makes spending time/dates more interesting and adventrous then a cheapo who can't take me out to place and just wants to stay home , cuddle watch movies uh how boring on a regualar basis , just as long as he doesn't throw his money round carelessly and buys me things contiously that would become annoying and a little like bribing into a relationship. One just shows their more successful & substain themselves good .
10 Reply yes that would be nice :) but its never the first thing on my mind. I do care if he has money, I don't wan't a bum who doesn't want to do anything with his life, they should have ambition and you know a guy who wants to succeed. I care if they go to school, their education etc. Money is not everything, it can't buy happiness, I would never date anyone b.c. of money, the car the drive what they have any of those material things. I have met many guys that have those things, sometimes it actually turns me off especially if they show it off or talk about it, I really DONT care I don't need you buying me anything if I want something I'll buy it myself , it's what kind of person you are that is important. I like them in the middle, ones that work and have some spending money that I don't have to pay all the time or we will split if it comes to it.

Who doesn't haha
but honestly my last boyfriend had an awesome job made over seven hundred a week. (we are only 19). and I would not let him buy me anything. when we went out I wouldn't let him pay for me. he always wanted to take me shopping or when he was out he wanted to get me something or whatever but we would fight constantly over it. the only thing he ever bought me besides like prom stuff lol was this gorgeous necklace that was over 300 dollars. I was p*ssed. but its not like I could stop him though lol. acutally he wrapped it around my flowers for prom (: it was really cute. need less to say he got very lucky that night hahaha00 Reply - +1 y
To be honest, no. Money does not matter.
Im not trying to show off or anything. But I come a very wealthy family. I'm only 19 and I have my own car, my own apartment (rents paid for it). haha
But my boyfriend isn't the richest guy out there. And yet he still doesn't let me buy him anything. I wanted to take him shopping but he always refuses. So I honestly believe that there are people out there that think money isn't everything. :)20 Reply - +1 y
Money is nice but is not everything. If you want to impress a girl and don't have a lot of money be creative. If she hints about wanting to go to that cool dining spot or restaurant bar but you dont' have money at the time, then save for the occassion. It is all about the effort you put into making the girl feel special rather than whether a guy has money or not.

I dated a guy that always complained about money issues, yet refused to put forth the effort to find a job that used his college degree. We view money as a sense of pride for men, and their ability to one day take care of a family. We're not asking for Mr. Moneybags, but someone that is financially responsible and secure. That's not selfish, that's smart. Girls like to know that they guy they're with can afford a relationship.
10 Reply If you had it reverse so that guys were in the girls position.. You'd know why.. Girls have bargaining power. They can pick and choose to exactly what they desire, that's why they always end up with guys with money. Funny enough a lot think there down to earth when there like this..As a guy you think if it was reverse how much you'd like it..Imagine having girls buying you drinks in bars. Date carly Saturday kerry Saturday and more during the week you'd be able to select exactly the match for you.. and of course you'd be thinking yeh one with more money helps..youd have bargaining power, sorry to short, your not into bike ridding, your hair is to short, and of course girls would complain about it and you'd cover up saying your down to earth looking for love...Its all about the position girls are in.

Any girl who says she does not like a man with money is LYING to you. A lot of girls claim money is not a factor but it definitely is, it is simple Biology really. A man with money can provide for a family much easier, this is a way more attractive mating option. Girls that say money does not matter at all are the same breed as men who say looks do not matter at all.
02 Reply- +1 y
Ok I'll break it down to familiar terms. A girl saying money don't matter is like a man saying that looks do not matter. It's hard to believe right? I'm not saying money is the determinant, but it definitely does matter. Guaranteed you are not going to marry an unemployed bum who lives by a dumpster even if he's got a heart of gold.
Of course we do or at least I do. Because he is better able to provide for a family etc. This isn't what matters most at all but it is nice to not have to live paycheck to paycheck. But just cause a guy has money doesn't mean they will spend it on you.

usually yes, a guy with money will have an advantage. But this is just because I like to be taken to dinner and treated like a princess. The important thing is just to take her to dinner when you can, make up imaginatve dates, and help her to realize that you have a lot more going for you than any rich guy..

girls deffinatly like it but put it into play very sybtly of the girl will think you are cocking and get turned off. for example tell a story that involves you having money and you will know but it won't be like you want her to know.
hope it helped

Men and women seem to have this kind of understanding;
Don't leave me for someone richer, and I won't leave you for someone hotter. So you're best bet is to settle for someone slightly below the best you can get, and have them work to keep you around.
But honestly, when it comes to gifts, it really is the thought that counts. I'd rather the guy be able to take care of himself money-wise and not freeload.20 Reply - +1 y
If you have money its cool, but its not all about money. I like guys who have a good personallity and are fun to be around. I'm not saying that I would only date a guy just because they have money, I personalily think that's shallow. but face it, most girls do like there guys to have some money. hope that helps

Some, but not all.
girls shouldn't care if you have money or not if they like you, but if they do then they're probably not worth going out with. sure it may be impressive to some girls but as long as you don't treat them like crap then it should be okay.
