Money can be a priority but other qualities can too. Many problems are because of money issues and breakups and divorces happen because of that. No it’s not gold digging to be money minded but it is gold digging to stay with a guy for that sole reason
If money is all you're worried about its gold digging. If you're looking for a genuine relationship and put a little consideration into the guy's ambition/income then its not.
I think most men also prefer to not date women who are making much less or are broke. I know I don't - I prefer a woman who has a job and i s financially stable - it really does make everything easier in the future, especially if you plan on living in the city. There's a reason why the Number One argument for couple or married folk is money.
And no one's called me a gold-digger. So I feel you and get you.
But of course, there's a difference between being financially stable and being the Prince of Wales (or some other Prince), so yeah.
I'd date anyone so long as I didn't have to pay their rent lol. It's not hard to live off a low income if you don't do bullshit like expensive marriages, kids, etc.
You *ARE* a gold digger if you look at a man's wallet and not his mind.
Most definitely
You are a gold digger if that is a reason that drives you to a specific man, and not other qualities like his personality, interests, and the like. you're also a gold digger if you pass a man up that has a personality that matches what you want, his appearance is what you want, and your interests match but he doesn't make enough for you..
I wouldn’t pass a guy up especially if he matches up with me well but I would be concerned on having kids and a house together.
True but that can come later.
I know it will I ask this question because shouldn’t a woman be able to think ahead and not waste her time knowing that she won’t be able to have those things with a guy who is financially stable.
If you function that way, you will be stuck to getting with guys that are far older than you. Most men dont reach financial stability until they are 25 or older.. At 15 financial stability is something that should not be in your mind.
Oh I’m not saying he has to be financially stable straight of the bat. I really doubt that seeing the area I live in but if you want to build a future with me I’m going to hope that you have yourself together when it’s time. If I fall in love with someone I fall in love. I’m not gonna say yes to a date because of their bank account.
It's because your reasoning doesn't work 'men with money' is usually a term used for well off guys not guys who are financially stable.
Having money and being financially stable are not the same thing either. Being good with your money is magnitudes better than having lots of it.
I think you don't understand the definition of golddigger.
There is nothing wrong with wanting a guy who is financially stable too, but that shouldn't be the only reason to date him.
A golddigger is someone who doesn't care about who she dates as long he has a lot of money. It could be even an old pervert.
So you cannot complain that guys want sex from good looking girls. That’s not even as shallow as gold digging. If you plan to make your own $$ it shouldn’t matter what he makes as long as he doesn’t sponge off you. I’ll wager, however, you expect him to pay for all the dates
Um no that’s not what I mean at all. I’m saying it’s reasonable for a woman to keep a guy who is already financially stable in mind. This will lead to less arguments about money and help them support themselves in the long run when they want kids. But people automatically label women who keep it in mind (Not #1 priority) as gold diggers. If I’m dating a guy and I don’t know what he makes I won’t be concerned with it but when we get serious and talk about our future then that’s when it will matter.
Well we live in a world where women can make more money than men. Hell my boss is a woman.
That's why women dating for money only is so petty cause you're basically saying "you get all the money while I sit here and spend it."
That's why gold diggers are looked down. Cause you're only there for my money.
nothing wrong with looking for a partner that has their shit together... but you shouldn't value money over other things.
Of course
however at 15, you don't really look for what a guy earns...
Ya I’m more focused on their intelligence and ambition. Of course I crush on guys but I don’t like troublemakers at all and people who don’t invest somewhat in school.
guys at your age are trouble makers and those who ar not will turn out weird later on, cause that's how proper men are at that age. consider that.
That’s really not true. At my school we have A. P classes and honors classes and the boys in those classes are very driven and I admire them very much. The idea of what a boy should act like varies from person to person. Also you might be imagining “troublemaker” differently than what I see.
ok maybe you have a different understanding of "troublemaker" ^^
When I say the boys my age are troublemakers I’m saying that the ones around me are either doing drugs, selling drugs, detention on a regular basis, or are in gangs. It definitely shouldn’t be normal for boys to be those kinds of “troublemakers”
yeah ok XD that's not good at all.
They are gold diggers if they have only money in their mind. For example a gold digger is a person that likes men with a lot of money, big houses, expensive cars they want expensive gift and they don't love the other person at all. Now a normal girl who thinks about her future will already have a job, she's kinda financially stable but will also want her man to be financially stable.
If the relationship is based on how much money he has, then yes thats a gold digger. If it starts as a love interest and then progresses to a trial of can you afford me then its kinda rude but acceptable in my book
At some point ALL you females will be faced with the question who do you marry because women are dominating the colleges and dominating the job field too. And illegals have taken the rest of the jobs that citizens once had. The reality is here and the question is, what are you going to do now?
Having a bit of free money between the 2 if you is fine.
But if you want a guy just because of his money you are a gold digger.
money should really be on the small side of people's concerns when dating.
Because those women seem like gold diggers. When money is your main focus in life, it seems like that is mostly what you care about. Most people don't want to be with someone who bases their worth on their income.
There are gold diggers who are only interested in a man's money, but smart women know that money is extremely important in a relationship, especially in that business partnership called marriage and therefore are interested in a man with money.
Wanting someone that is financial stable is fine... That doesn't make you a gold digger... But not dating someone because they aren't able to baby you with their money while you sit back and relax with no income is gold digging behaviour
"I plan on having a well paying job that keeps me financially stable on my own..."
Girl, you are 15... if your father is no president or a CEO of a big company, planing is like I've heard of... probably you need to made a new plan every 3 years
I’m aware of my age. Thank you for reminding me. My plan has been relative for the past 4 years and I’m already invested in the field I’m going into so um ya I don’t know what my father had to do with anything.
Look, in most states are women lesser worth, special at work-payment... if you dont have a father with a high position in a company, your chance to get easy a good payed job falls by 50%
Then think about homeless people... do you think they didn't planning to be financially stable? Did they plan to be homeless?
Everyone plans on getting a good payed job and financial stability... but more than the half of world population suffers from too less food...
I was an good payed tool-maker (worked with steele), had nice muscles,
Then I had an work accident (a half lung wing gone, 11 surgeries at the lung)... moved to big city for job, but there was a gas explosion 2 apartments under mine and lived on the street 2 years...
Planning isn't sure, life has its own plan, im just saying nobody plans to fail...
Exactly and I don’t plan to fail. I know plans aren’t definitive and guaranteed but I still plan on it.
Because women like those will instantly dump you, when you lose your job or get financial problems. Its disgusting
If money is a deciding factor, it's gold digging. Financial stability is something each person should earn on their own. Codependency always causes issues unless it's well planned out
