Why are so many rich men so obsessed with the idea that all or most non wealthy women are gold diggers?

Question

I’ve been accused of being after a man’s money, as was my grandmother, in her youth. We both genuinely loved the men in question but lost interest when they made that judgment. Money was important to them, but less so to us. We both wanted simple lives, not only had enough to live in comfort, but also, originated from an old money, English family, which was never mentioned to these men, as it wasn’t important to us. I’ve heard male friends of mine accusing other women of being gold diggers when they’re not even rich. I’ve had three men basically propose and point out to me that I should take them seriously, for they’re rich enough to take care of me as I can’t work full time from being disabled by crippling anxiety and depression. What causes such an obsession with money that men seem to have?

Because despite what today's women say, they still value men primarily as providers and judge their value based on their earnings or earning potential.   It doesn't help that most women still expect men to pay for dates.

I don't know. Usually all the people complaining Gold diggers are either other women, or lonely single poor guys who complain about feminism on the internet. The rich guys are too busy chasing actual gold diggers, or carrying on with their lives.

I'm not rich, but it's a pretty well known fact that as soon as you become rich, all the vultures start circling, looking for a piece of the pie.
I doubt they assume all women are gold diggers, but they're not stupid either

So your saying you only date wealthy men but aren't intrested in their money.

Experience to answer your question. A lot of wealthy men worry about investing in a marraige with a woman because if she's only intrested in his money then it's doomed and soceity will reward her financially from his personal wealth.

Mass conditioning. People don't know how to earn money. What makes it even worse is that most people do the very worst thing to earn money; which is trading time for money.

Guys more often don't care about girls money but girls often care about guys money. That's why we are so paranoid.

Money skewed there wold view. That is all they can see now. You will find what you look for. They would be keep asking them selves at every step of the life. Is she doing this for me or for my money. You will have to keep proving those fing babies that no baby mommy loves you. This love is so un conditional pure and divine even though it may be not coz when you have to keep proving your self like this. You may not really feel all that lovey dovey

Well it's hard to trust a stranger. Especially if he's been through a lot , with those types of women. Did you pay for dates or did he?

Because enough women are known to lie about themselves. An intelligent man won't take your word at face value. You'll have to change as a group, to change the perspective ;)

Because it is objectively a fact that for the vast majority of women resources is one of their main requirements for a potential partner.

Euphemisms are often used 'generous, hard working, professional etc'

I would say, thats insecure men, not rich men. Men who are sure of themselves will not cater at all to gold diggers. They will look for genuine women.

Based on statistics, the MAJORITY of women in the USA steal from a man during divorce. It is a valid concern for many men.
