Well, I’m from a family that has no financial trouble (we own a small business) not saying that I’m a rich girl or something, and I don’t think of myself as a snob, I don’t hangout with people just because of their financial stuffs, I mean I think I can take care of myself. But from my experience, I’ve dated quite a poor guy and what I cannot stand isn’t that he cannot afford my lifestyle (which is also quite awkward but I can look pass it) but it’s because of his attitude that he keeps complaining why the rich don’t help the poor more when he donates his money to fake beggars when he still had to borrowed from me. He said God or whatever will compensate him but I was brought up to well managed my money. He even criticized why my mum wears daily contact lenses while she can just use glasses and donate money to the poor. So I’m not feeling comfortable with him. And I think no matter what gender you are, just date someone from quite the same or a bit better (to improve yourself) family backgrounds might be the most adequate.

I want to be economically independent and I hope for my partner to work on the same. I don't want someone rich to buy me and make me a useless dependable beign neither someone who wants me to live like a teen at my expense. If my partner is rich or earns less than me I don't care as long as we both are totally independent economically.
I believe that pure love happens between independent humans. If there's dependency it's not pure because the other person could fake emotions just not to loose certain status, advantages or lack of responsibility.
So I just want him to be economically independent.
YES!

Not necessarily rich, but nearly all women want a husband that can contribute enough financially to the household so that the couple can live comfortably. Women rarely want to financially support a man who is less successful than her. I've never heard a woman say that she wanted to marry a starving artist. I think generally men and women have similar financial goals. They want a nice house in a decent part of town, a good car, money to put kids through college and enough left over to travel and go out to a fancy dinner now and then. Of course, I'm generalizing but this seems to be what most people want.

Rich in wisdom, humor, compassion, loyalty, love and etc. Yeah, I think most want that. As far as money, I'm sure most people want someone who's well off but I doubt they'd have to be filthy rich.
For me, I'd want someone who worked for the large amount of money over someone who was just born into it. Because then they could make it again no matter where they are. And they can pass on the lessons to their children on how to make money instead of giving it to them. To me that's a bigger asset. Someone who can give others the knowledge of success.A lot of it depends on the age. If you're 18 they're likely not to care about how wealthy you are, but whether you're working or not - if you're productive. After 25 it's probably based on whether you're able to survive on your own or not. I just don't believe most women when they meet a guy they like the first thought that comes into their head is "is he rich?"
It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a rich husband, but it's not even one of the factors that would come into my thought process when finding a partner. Like sure if wouldn't hurt if he was rich, but I'm not going to go out of my way to find someone who's rich? I would only marry for love, nothing else
Dated a rich guy once. He was always working and thought he could run the show all the time. I don’t like being controlled.
A couple other rich guys were into me and they were the same way: workaholic, power tripping, etc. No thanks. As long as my man has a decent job then that’s ok.Maybe. Being wealthy is definitely a plus, but it's not an absolute necessity. I can live with a man that can afford a decent living for a family.
But I wouldn't want a man that has earned money by corruption. And I wouldn't want to be with a filthy rich man either. I don't like them.If a guy is an asshole, I don't care how much dough he's got, I have no time for him. However, I'm not going to lie, if you've got more than one nice guy to choose from, and one has a six-figure income and the other a five, more than likely I'll be going for the guy with more money. My husband makes good money, as do I, we don't have or ever want kids, and yes, we live a charmed life, but I have seen with a lot of other couples who aren't as well off as we are that money and struggling to make ends meet can cause a lot of stress and problems in a marriage or relationship, especially when there are children to support.
Not necessarily rich, but financially stable and able to provide well. Many women want security and comfort in their relationship - many times that's seen as "gold digging".
Not saying that gold diggers don't exist, but I think expecting financial security shouldn't be seen as a bad thing at all.Well I can’t answer for most women just myself.
Rich isn’t the top pick I look for on my priority list. There are things that come way before this as important.
Rich would just be a bonus. But rich does not bring happiness. Rich just makes ones life easier in terms of lifestyle. Not your life more fulfilling with your loved one or love lifeIm gonna be 100% honest, i don't care if i get dislikes for this but yes in many cases women want men who can provide security for them and give them a good life
Yes and no. We want someone who can support us financially and who has a steady job. Me personally, I want that, and someone who can be a friend as well. You should marry someone you can see yourself with in the next 20+ years, not some idiot who don't care about you. Something that helps when your trying to find things you want in a guy is having guy friends. I have a good amount of guy friends and I've come to the conclusion that I want a guy who can support me emotionally, financially, and morally. I want someone who isn't just my hubby, I need him to be my friend as well. all the other things like handsomeness, manliness, and how tall they are are things that everyone cares about, including me, but i also try to look for all the other things I've listed as well.
I think that all else being equal girls would prefer a rich husband to a non-rich one. However, they probably don't need someone to be rich, just well off enough to be supportive. Difference between want and need.
I want to financially stable with my damn self Before I could worried about somebody els pockets. So the answer is no. I want to have a husband who will love me for me and I’ll love him for him. Not his pockets.
It's not about 'rich', it's about being confident that her prospect can provide for her and the 84 children she wants to have with him. Nobody wants to date a broke deadbeat kind of failure guy. Yes, even the ones that say it's 'all about love'. Bullshit.
Many of them have financial goals but instead of marrying into wealth they are willing to work hard with their husband and build up wealth over the years.
I'd imagine most women want a husband that loves them and brings in enough to live comfortably.
Kind of. Same as men want a good looking sexy woman. It’s not a killer if a man is financially unstable but if he’s jobless because of laziness then it is. Some women associate wealth with maturity and intelligence, but if the guy turned out to be a nothing but a jerk who was born in a rich family then he will attract nothing but greedy gold diggers.
no he doesn't have to be rich, but at least i want a guy who have good salaried job who is financially stable good enough to marry and build a good family😊
No. I've had a harder time finding girls to date since I've become wealthy. Many girls say "if i marry you I'd feel like a fool working but i want to have a career. I want someone i can struggle with". I just take that as they are a loser and they don't value themselves very much.
Things are getting expensive each and every year so one would like to have financially stable partner. I don't believe in "Love over money" both are Equally important but in India, women parents have obsession for rich "son in law". good thing is, it's changing rapidly. women preferring love marriages over arrange marriages. so no.. Very few women want rich husbands.
I think that most women want a decent, comfortable life. For some, this take millions of dollars and still isn't brought to fruition. For others, they can be content on scraping by, as it were, as long as there is the love.
