Would you date a rich guy?

[Anonymous]

So this guy I've been flirting with is rich according to what I found out (he didn't tell me he was rich but I stalked him on social media and I know he comes from Mercer Island) and he is a bit spoiled and stubborn. Lately he has stopped texting me but I always felt he didn't has enough interest in me as a person or like if he believe he was better than me, cuz he is a know it all person. is that how rich kids are? or maybe he didn't has enough interest cuz I'm not as wealthy as his parents are (lol, cuz the money is not his , it's his parents)

[Anonymous]

I was for a while. It was a different experience. He'd take me on these extravagant dates, hired a boat for us to go sailing, we went on a cruise, ate at really nice restaurants, etc. and he wouldn't let me pay for anything because he'd say it's just a drop in the bucket to him... but he did some strange and off-putting things too.

He sent me his bank account balance for instance, "on accident", and every time we met up he'd somehow bring up money/finance, and how much he had or what he was planning on doing to get more. Half of it I didn't understand because I'm not much of a business or finance person, so I probably should've been more impressed than I was, but it just got boring, and it seemed like he was obsessed with his money, and thought everyone should be impressed with it too.

He'd only recently starting making that much I think, so that's why he couldn't stop talking about it or showing off. Anyway, I just stopped contacting him after the bank account incident and haven't spoken to him since.

Not all rich people are alike though, and I wouldn't have an issue dating someone who's rich, but there has to be more substance there than that. I'm already pretty well off, I have no need for anyone else's money, I just want someone I'm happy being with.

Anyway, on your situation, I think the guy you're talking about lost interest.

I'm not looking for someone with a high salaried or rich but I wouldn't say "NO" to a rich, handsome, good hearted, good soul, good charactered gentleman. maybe even I would also like to marry a wealthy man to live to have more comfortable and varied facilities. I would like my children to grow up very comfortably, to make their every dream come true. so if my husband would be rich, wealthy things would be easier. but I wouldn't want to marry with someone Just because of his money/fame/wealth. I'm not a money Hunter. there are more important things in this world than money. Money is not everything.

[StephenCF]

@celin98 Then, girl, do you have something special coming your way 😏😘💘

[celin98]

[DivaMonae]

Yes I would date a rich kid as long as the money wasn't his or my main priority. It couldn't get in the way of our relationship or go to either of our heads.

And as for you...

I already said it, I don't value money. I came from an upper middle class, but in the country where I grew up, rich kids were always mean and they could even told you you are not entitled to talk to them because you are under their social class, and they literally tell you that. I guess it's just a trauma I have from childhood.

[Asker]

so, even in high school or at university I avoided to be friends with them.

[DivaMonae]

Yeah I understand. Well I just don't get why he stopped speaking to you all of a sudden maybe he found out you stalked him?

[DivaMonae]

Thanks for MH and sorry for the misunderstanding.

[BuchitaBuchys]

I personally wouldn't because I have my reasons.

But it sounds like he lost interest. That's one of the reasons why. They have a stable of women to choose from, I don't want to be so easily replaceable.

[Asker]

I know, but he always appears and then disappears.

[ArtDent]

Don't want to be so easily replaceable? That sounds really insecure.

[BuchitaBuchys]

@ArtDent ok? So? I am insecure. And let's face it, there's a gaggle of golddiggers waiting to date rich guys.

[ArtDent]

That's how men feel about the average woman.

[BuchitaBuchys]

@ArtDent cool.

Don't make this more than it is. The guy never even mentioned he was rich, which means you care more about his money than him.

He simply lost interest for you, I can see why.

[Asker]

I don't value money. I came from a middle class, but in the country where I grew up, rich kids were always mean and they could even told you you are not entitled to talk to them because you are under their class. I guess it's just a trauma I have from childhood.

[Asker]

Don't judge people if you don't know their background.

[Asker]

so you just say I care for money because I'm asking a stupid question like this?

[Opinion Owner]

I'm saying you're looking for an excuse as to why he's no longer showing interest in you.
You chose his money as that excuse even though he never made a point to flaunt it.

This is just your way of coping with rejection, and a pretty bad way at that. Are we done here?

[Asker]

he is always on and off. I met him a year ago, but it's always like he appears and disappears from months and months. This last he did he was showing more interest unlike other months.

[Opinion Owner]

Okay so you have a guy who doesn't show full interest in you, what does that have to do with his money?

Move on.

[AleDeEurope]

What question is this? We all know the answer xD

[AleDeEurope]

The REAL answer, not the PC one... xD

[Asker]

I'm actually very hesitating with it. I'm not talking about the money, I talk about the person. Money is the worst and ruins people lifes.

[AleDeEurope]

I disagree about the money thing. Money doesn't ruin people, they just show who the true person is, cause when we aren't rich we're all humble and shit cause we want people to help us just in case we end up poor. A humble and good person won't turn into an asshole after becoming rich.
In your case, if he sounds like a jerk, stay away. If you value the person more than the money, move on, don't let him buy you.

[Asker]

It does. Even if it doesn't ruin you, it owns you. There is a writer called Julio Cortázar in one of his novels called "Historias de Cronopios y famas" he talks about a watch, and how this kind of jewelry or expensive things starts to own you instead of being the other way around. Cuz, if you haven't notice people are always worry if they will be robbed or if their necklace would be missing and stuff, and those are simple things with no true value such as love or memories, things that really matters.

[AleDeEurope]

Hmm I disagree with that though :S

[AleDeEurope]

Thanks for the MHO

[ElissaDido]

I would marry a rich guy only if he's not arrongant.

[Asker]

for the money?

[KENKONG]

If he loved you very much and cared for you but was also neglected you sometimes because he has to concentrate on work to make money. Would you still date him?

[DivaMonae]

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't marry him for the money because if she did then she would be the arrogant one not to mention a hypocrite.

[ElissaDido]

@KENKONG "sometimes " is understandable, anyone can be busy from time to time.., So yes, as long as he still loves me and treats me well!

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't date a rich guy. I wouldn't want to feel inferior my entire life. Plus, I am prejudiced against wealthy people. So no I wouldn't. I have to protect myself and my values.

[QooLipBite]

With a lot of rich friends... sometimes they'd actually rather show you the new boat they bought rather than actually having a deep meaningful conversation.

My vague observation.

[Anonymous]

The children of the rich are usually that way. They pretend money is nothing to everyone around them but on the inside they put money first over others I have read between the lines and figured that out. But now you take someone that was born poor and happened into money by accident and they have been on both sides and know how to survive the hard times and they are genuine.

[Mysterio421]

Him not showing much interest had nothing to do with money. Either he is or he isn't. Hell, maybe he is seeing other girls.

[BlueAngel0]

If he's Roch he's likely got his pick of women so you're one of many for him and likely replaceable.

[Anonymous]

Yes but it takes more time to really KNOW them down deep to see IF they have any character or just get bailed out all the time. If the latter, then you become expendable at each disaster from which he needs saving.

[Honeyyy]

Yes, but I wouldn't expect anything from him. I'd just be myself and act as if he's a regular in which he is.

[karahiri]

i'm not going to date someone who isn't interested in me. neither should you.

[Hollywood-Glam]

I would date a rich guy, if he is nice and I feel attracted to him.

[ArtDent]

it's not like you have a choice, he's not even interested in you.

[Asker]

He just told me he was on a family trip

[rainbowdash_262]

Erm, no. Unless their loyal and have a heart as gold and not a total spoiled brat and stuff..

[OlderAndWiser]

I only date women! :)

[apexalpha]

Money wouldn't even factor up with the person I'm seeing

[RationalLioness]

Nope. Not interested.

[apexalpha]

Is money a turn off for you?

[RationalLioness]

More like Im not willing to deal with a guy who may consistently worry about his money or if a woman values him over it. I understand why many men are wary, but its simpler to not date a rich guy.

[Luci1602]

If he is not a bad person then yes.

[KENKONG]

What if he robbed money from a lot of people to become rich?

[Luci1602]

@KENKONG wtf! I said that if he is not a bad person. But from what she said I can see that he was born in a rich family, there is nothing you can do against that.

[KENKONG]

What if his father robbed a lot of people to become rich like Dan Bilzerian's dad who scammed out a bunch of people before going to jail, and leaving his family with a lot of money to play around with?

[Luci1602]

@KENKONG If he is not a criminal like his dad (who is in jail and I would not have to deal with him) I still date him. Anyway, money will be temporary.

[ArtDent]

KENKONG nice try, but these girls don't yet (and likely never will) understand what it takes to be rich.

Seems you see it though, kudos.

[blondfrog]

You don't deserve him anyways gold digger lol.

[TheHooptyMiata]

Just take his coin and run, haha

[RedThread]

Nah I'd date a rich woman though..

[Anonymous]

I'd not date a rich girl.

[Asker]

why?

[Opinion Owner]

Our differences in opinions would be too big.
