Do most women want rich husbands?


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!
70% of UK women would instantly change their minds about leaving a man if he won a lottery jackpot.
78% of US women said a partner with a steady job was the most important trait in a future spouse. 75% said they’d have a problem with dating someone without a job.
Only 4% would go out with an unemployed man.
70% of Chinese women expect a man to provide an apartment along with a cash marriage offer.

What that implies about the US has nothing to do with him being rich, but financially stable.
@AuroraRoseat It has to do with him having money for her to spend.
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 life
Im 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.
So you intend on being a homemaker, who does not work?
No, I intend on being a good girlfriend and I want to have a good steady job someday as well. I hate the idea of staying at home all day long and i always want to do something for people or just in general work. I was just saying what I'd look for in a guy tho.
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.
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'd imagine most women want a husband that loves them and brings in enough to live comfortably.
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.
I make my own money, both of my ex’es were unemployed when I met them so it’s not a big deal to me, but I do want to see that they’re trying to better themselves. It’s a turn off to have a man that has no aspirations of being someone better.
I don't really care about money. Money is just a thing that you need to have to buy food other thing. I prefer to have gift that helps charity to get money to help poor people that can't afford school.
Nah. I can make my own money and do not like to having to rely financially on someone else. Plus, money is only really important as long as you do not have enough to live.
I think most want well off, but not necessarily rich. They want to not have to think about finances, which is everybody. If you make 6 figures or even high 5 figures you're not hurting, but neither of those are rich either.
Up until last month my fiancee made more money than me. She was going to marry me whatever I got a raise or not. So I would say, no, not every women want a rich husband.
One, Hun, Who Has a Good Job and makes Some Money, honey. lolxx
Agreed
Not necessarily rich, but most women want men who are financially stable. Most men also want women who are financially stable as well - you don't want somebody who becomes a financial burden on you.
I think we all WANT a rich partner (if we struggled to become rich ourselves), but most men and women will ACCEPT a middle-class spouse so long as they’re financially stable enough to provide for their NEEDS, if not desires
Not in my opinion. I would prefer to date someone with a good career or job as opposed to someone without, I’d like an equal partnership, my friends all have the same view. I would never choose money over love. Girls who only want a rich husband have 1 thing in mind only and will more than likely have something on the side.
No😂 I want to be with a man I feel safe with. He needs to have steady income so we can have a decent life, but rich nah! Rich comes with too much drama and extra bs.
Maybe, but not me, I don't really care, I just want somebody that makes me happy, things like wealth, are not factors that reel me in like a fish, (weird simile).
I think a lot of woman do but the majority of average looking or less than average girls will choose lover over money and I've met very beautiful woman who also chose love over money.
Take care of my emotional, sexual and basic human needs, and I'm going to be a happy girl. I would like to have $200 a month spending allowance each month. But other than that I don't ask for much
Not most, some do they usually regret that. The women that want love over money are truly happier may be struggling financially but emotionally happier.
Yes, what woman doesn't prefer rich men? haha.
Its common sense
Women will always try and get a man with a high salary
Women want revenge, that’s why you avoid them like the plague. They will say equality but they don’t mean it
yes. Its ALWAYS part of the fantasy for them. They may phrase it as "financially secure" "generous" or "financially stable" but it all means the same thing-he must have money. They also assume access to that money
I want to marry someone who I love and would always be loved by. If he had money, that would be nice! But it isn't necessary. I'd rather be poor and in love, than in a relationship of wealth with no love.
I haven't ever dated a rich guy, and my friends don't have rich husbands either. So I'm not sure about most but obviously some do.
I see very little evidence women marry for love
Then you have zero experience with women
I dunno, your a woman tell us the secrets of the universe!
I need one that can keep me in the lifestyle I'm accustomed to.
A woman should expect a man to be financially independent and able to support a family if it came to that. Most educated guys with good jobs can do that.
If you are seeking wealth than it just means you want to be spoiled because you are a lazy POS. Different story if you dated a guy for a while and LATER found out he had money. But women who go for that make me lose all and any respect I have for “women’s rights”. The vast majority of men don’t do that shit.
I do. Not filthy rich.
I want to be covered and financially secured.
No. Most women just don’t want a husband who’s broke.
nah, I just want money, he ain't an ATM machine and I refuse to eat outta his hands (figuratively)...
Plus marriage is such a hassle, why'd you go through so much pain for mere gold digging?
It depends. Its always easier to live a comfortable life. He doesn't have to be necessary RICH but he has to have a job and be financially stable. The same applies to me
yeah first they fuck around changing men as if they're socks, then they look for a rich husband and then they hit the wall and ask where all the good men are.
I think they want men that are not rich but can be very supportive with income. But as a standby I think any gender would want a rich partner
yes but once a women meets the love of her life she (usually) will love him even if he is not rich and pursue a romantic relationship
I dont know if I'd say rich, but do most women want a man that makes more money than they do? Yeah they do, and this is one of the reasons why many career women are single. They have limited options because of their high standards.
Most? No. All? Yes.
Women use men for financial stability.
Most? Correct. All? False.
There are plenty of men that will easily find a way to manipulate a woman for higher credit scores or for any monetary gain.. And there are a substantial amount of men who view a woman as a resource or an asset.
Way to generalize to overcompensate for your own insecurities.
@Ninjazzed Disagree
@Ninjazzed Fine with me
@Ninjazzed Looks like we are enemies. Good to know.
@Ninjazzed You did dump your lazy poor boyfriend. I win!
For some of the same reasons men want pretty wives.
being taken care of financially doesn't mean anything if love between the two is poor.
Of course!.
I've always gotten everything i want so if a man could not be up to those standards.. no thanks✌️
It’s funny, the only reason I “get it” now is because I have “become savage” around women in real life. And you know what? I went from lonely loser couldn’t talk to a girl to save his life to flirting with girls, beautiful girls, daily. I stopped moderating every fucking action and thought and instead started just letting them out as my brain dictates. And boom. INSTANT new life. New life as in yay, girls finally like me. Cuz I’m being honest with them. And I’ve found that girls will the. Be more honest with me, once they see that I am comfortable with how they really are. Like I have some slutty fiends. I love them. They love me. We flirt and all that, give eachother advice. It’s great. I don’t feel like these kind of relationships are possible without honesty. I’m glad I learned to be honest or I would be lost like these other fools.
But there’s still so much to learn! I’m glad I saw your comment ash. You’ve actually given me a lot of ideas and helped me figure some shit out. Thanks for your “savagery.” 🙏
I mean no one wants to be homeless poor, but you probably don't need to have a mansion at minimum to get a woman.
I’m not old enough for a husband. BUT, when I am, I’d want a guy for who he is. Since I’m ugly as heck I really don’t care for looks. Can’t be an ugly girl with high standards right? Personality is all that matters to me.
However, I will not be with no broke ass man 🤦🏽♀️ As long as he’s got any job and making money, then that’ll be ok. I am not his mother. I won’t take care of his if he won’t try and take care of himself.
Stay single
Some women have Rick husbands just to support the poor boyfriends
Riches are dicks anyway... LOL
Perhaps not all women want rich husbands, but my suspicion is the vast majority of women want very well off husbands.
I see very meager evidence that women marry for love.
Well if they got to choose every aspect of their partner id guess it would be handsome, tall, rich, kind, manly etc
Every man probably wants a rich wife if everything else is perfect too
If you think money>everything else then no
No but most men define success as achieving the personal dream goals that they set for themselves. Especially when the desire to achieve it is so strong.
