Why do women care more about money than men do?

Question

Generally speaking…

Ladybugharp · Accepted Answer

I would see a man who earns money as stable and goal orientated, which gives me a feeling of security.

I’ve had two very long-term relationships where I became the breadwinner ( I defiantly was not rich but on an above-average wage). Both men had stayed unemployed for extended periods (6+ months/over a year) and did this periodically throughout the relationship. Yet, it did not bother me because I truly loved them for who they were.

However, in both these experiences, I witnessed over time, their nature changed into resenting me as I covered the rent/food/bills. As a result, both guys grew low-self esteem and lost their spark for life, ultimately impacting our relationship.

So yes, money is significant to me (now) because I know what I deserve.

Perhaps most women just want a man aspiring to be a better version of themselves, who is stable and emotionally mature - and one sign or ingredient for this is financial stability, and I by no means mean super-rich.

(trying speaking for the majority here, not those who are materialistically toxic; if that’s the case, you are obviously hanging with the wrong lady).

I can’t exchange a man for food, electricity, water, a home, clothes or basic necessities now can I? I can exchange money for those things though.

"Your money is OUR money! But my money, is my money alone." That's why.

Anonymous · Answer

In study after study, in country after country, evolutionary phycologists find that resources (money) are much higher on the list of priorities for women than they are for men. That's because throughout human history women have relied on men to provide for them and their children. Women who had a man to provide for them were much more likely to pass on their genes to their children and their children were much more likely to survive long enough to pass on their own genes. That's how evolution works. The genes of today's women are directly descendant from those women of the past, so that natural instinct to find a man with money is still there.

I don't know about men, but i just need enough money to cover all my bills and food etc.

don’t hate me for this, but things like women’s clothing are more expensive than most men’s clothing. and we also have to buy pads and tampons every month, which can be quite expensive.

if you don’t agree, just ignore this. i don’t really feel like arguing tbh.

Haha456 · Answer

i care more about money because if i had a child, I would be the one likely to give up my career or work part time to care for my kids. if my husband cannot support us well after i work part time or quit my job, we will be doomed.

Having children with a man who cannot adequately support a family is kinda like saying marrying an infertile 39 yr old woman and still wanting to have 5 children.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Men generally have more confidence in their ability to support themselves, and women who want to be a stay-at-home mom (which is a very noble calling; we need more women willing to do this) absolutely need a man to support them and their children.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Think about being homeless, a homeless woman is near a 95%+ chance she will be raped, if living on the street or sexually taken advantage of in that situation.

Sure it can happen to men but is far far less likely.

Money is stability and means not being raped if I become homeless. Which is why I do it myself rather than rely on someone else that can take that stability away from me.

HighValue · Answer

Women want safety and security. The things that provide that are money and a big strong man. That is also why most women prefer a tall guy.

Men want love, affection, loyalty, and someone that will raise a family with them. That is why they prioritize a woman that isn't promiscuous. (A past of casual sex means they can do it without love so it loses its value.) They also want someone pretty or cute so the affection feels better from her and they won't have ugly kids.

bean2k21 · Answer

Any woman can go out and get a job that pays the bills. So why would she be impressed by a man who did the same? She desires someone who has achieved something in his life. So, get out there, and invent the next Tesla so you can get a real girlfriend!

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Money has replaced straight up food.

During the cavemen era, the women stuck close to the best hunters. Because that meant survival, now. Considering having money equals having a roof over your head, food, clothes, etc.

That’s why women tend to gravitate towards rich men

Apple1996 · Answer

When searching for a man we are looking for a provider so it's only natural for us to care about how much money they can provide us and their future children.

Anonymous · Answer

Your update is importantly VERY different from your question.

I think you MEANT to ask "why do women care more about THEIR PARTNERS HAVING money then men do?" Because the way you asked your original question, women actually DON'T care about money more than men.

Men care a LOT about money BECAUSE women care about money that their partners have. So because WE care about SEX with HOT girls, we care about money.

i am a son of nearly penniless parents and i know plenty of boys, whose parents can't give them pocket money for Fortnite skins or giving girls chocolate/coffee. And the girls of broke parents? Some of them resorted to sex work and finance their tuition like that. Broke folks get married too.

The girls who look out for finances are considering to not end up having kids with broke men so that their kids won't end up like i have mentioned above. Can't argue with that.

Midgetmcwidget · Answer

I care about working to cover my expenses, beyond that I don’t care about money

Pohjolan · Answer

Women used to be unable to take care of themselves that well with a baby or toddler and are thus seeking a male with resources. Its a legacy of the past but people are affected by their subconscious.

ronaldo75 · Answer

Economics and Psychology have both proven that women are more materialistic, trendy and way more social-inclusion driven than men are. Meaning they need more 'stuff' and retail bullshit to feel like they're part of the social order.

They don't. We care about money just as much. It's just that we have the ability to separate love and money.

msc545 · Answer

Women do not think they should have to work for money and resent it when they do.

Anonymous · Answer

Because that was the norm for 200000 years of human evolutions. It's just like 100-150 years the situations are changing. It will take time to adapt.
