How do you handle being loved for what you have?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Girls too, the equivalent of this would be someone loving you for your body.

But I've been having this problem lately where I try to hide the fact I'm an entrepreneur and stuff but as soon as I feel close enough to someone to start letting them see what I have, they're whole energy changes and I just get angry and loose all respect for them.

Like it's impossible for me to look you at that point and not see someone unworthy of my respect

Narcissists… Narcs and the other dark personalities out there will make your life a living hell. And most of them will never be honest about their real intentions because frankly most people would run away.

You do need to be aware someone can pretend to be anyone they think you want them to be. As well as find ways to manipulate your emotions. Number one… trying to sleep with you too fast is a red flag. Someone who just is too agreeable is a red flag. Some people will pretend to be more or less religious. Change their religion or discard theirs or gain theirs. Someone whose very liberal may pretend to be conservative or vice versa. Especially if they know you got money.

Now it’s one thing to lie about yourself. But you don’t have to tell everything to someone you just met.

Yes, many people (men and women) are motivated by financial benefits, social status, materialism, lust, someone’s body, etc. But you are smart enough to know a relationship with them will be miserable. They will probably cheat. They will probably try to fuck yoi over. And they will probably make you miserable all along the way.

Another HUGE red flag. Is making the relationship go too fast. Even trying to rush into marriage when you barely know one another.

@Geminiaqua there is a lot of good people. Unfortunately bad people can blend in

I think you have to accept that people are motivated by money , wealth , status and this clearly plays a core role.. it’s the world we have created , that which YOU clearly subscribe to being an “entrepreneur”


You have to see past their “new energy” and become good at seeing the whole person , especially if you’re going to throw it into conversation early on before you feel that you know what really drives that person and ultimately their feelings for you and their sincerity.


You also can’t afford to instantly loose respect for someone because they are impressed by what you have. Turning that on its head it would be like you getting mad at a 10 because they claim you only want them for their looks , That’s ridiculous. Just put measures in place to protect yourself and be yourself , if you’re halfway intelligent / perceptive you can easily weed out the dollar whores from those who actually like you for you, what they say over what they do / how they act etc

Just because you're an entrepreneur doesn't mean you're successful at it. If you are then just find a woman who makes as much money as you
