Is it true that if a guy never spends money on girl, he doesn't respect her?

Question

BobbieBoy666 · Accepted Answer

No, it is not necessarily true that a guy who never spends money on a girl does not respect her; respect in a relationship goes far beyond financial gestures and is more about how he treats her, listens to her, and values her opinions, regardless of cost; a person's financial situation should be considered, and simply not spending money does not automatically equate to a lack of respect.
Key points to consider:
Context matters:
A guy might not spend money on a girl due to genuine financial constraints, not because he lacks respect.
Other forms of respect:
Respect can be shown through thoughtful gestures, quality time, active listening, supporting her goals, and prioritizing her well-being.
Potential red flags:
While not spending money alone doesn't indicate disrespect, if it's accompanied by other behaviors like ignoring her needs, belittling her opinions, or controlling actions, it could be a sign of a deeper issue.

What your looking for is a transition relationship, Where the person (namely the man) pays for the girls wears and such. Thats what your looking for then go for it. But if your looking for a man that respects his women and see's the value in her in his life. Then you have a loving man who (wants to provide) and give his time his money and his life to her. Simply put, He is either broke (in biden era) besides CEO's whose not broke. Or you have a man who (does not fell the need) in doing it. I knew a man that loved his wife but never did much for her. In terms of buying gifts or showing effort. Its most the time the person way of thinking and up bringing. That helps him in life, most are not taught anything. But if a man is (thinking of you) and has the means he will do (anything) he can to make you fell wanted and special. That can be anything.

If they are dating.. yeah he probably doesn't especially if you spend on him. Personally I like guys who have money to spend and throw away since I had a spoiled up bringing and my dad always gave me what I wanted, I didn't ask for things often but when I did I got it. Plus my ex used to give me an allowance for me to blow on myself so If a man can't do for me then why pretend you love me lol.

He would prob only do that if he knew she was the type of woman who does not return the favor. I've had motorcycle shop men sport me $2 to save me walking back to change in my bike. And were shocked when I paid them back later.

Summeroflove · Answer

That’s not true if a guy has money but never even spends a little bit that’s one thing. But if someone measures love in material value they will never find it. Because most are narcissists and can’t make genuine connections anyways.

It depends on your definition of spending money. I mean most men spend money either buying flowers or paying for dates. But if you mean extravaganty spending…. I think men with money who want something genuine have to be careful to weed out gold diggers. Who will be one sided. Chest…. And leave him soon as she finds someone witn more money

Did men who bought slaves respect the slaves? When someone can be bought like a commodity, they become less human. People don’t respect slaves, people don’t respect prostitutes, people don’t respect strippers, people don’t respect politicians that take bribes and are rife with corruption, and so on… So it sounds like you have it backwards. When someone tries to buy you out and it works, then it becomes a control mechanism. People that respect you don’t try to buy you off, they go out of their way to help you when you need a hand. They show up when you need them.

DishLady · Answer

I know lots of guys who respect me and have never spent a dime on me or me on them…

One or two times there’s a closer friend I’ll send a care package to, but that’s more the exception than the rule. Similarly, there are a handful of guys who pay everything when they see me or one of the gals from old group of friends/colleagues bc we VERY rarely see one another. (One is someone whose mom I always used to visit for example when she was at hospice.)

OneViewpoint · Answer

Why do you equate money with respect. If one guy spends $100 on dinner for a date and another guy spends $1,000 on a high end restaurant, does the big spender respect you 10 times more? Or does he just have the cash to blow trying to get in your pants and figures you can be bought for a nice dinner?

Booboolove69 · Answer

Some guys pay for prostitutes so I don’t know that’s a challenging question. I know my boyfriend spends money on me when he wants to or if I ask, but I don’t really know how to answer your question. It’s a good question though.

Anonymous · Answer

Where did you hear that nonsense? What does spending money on her have to do w not respecting her or not loving her? It doesn’t. Maybe she doesn’t respect him for expecting t him to spend money on her knowing that he’s trying to make a better life for them but she just wants to spend.

HighlyQuestionable · Answer

That is preposterous! It likely means he is either stingy/a tightwad or alternately poor, or perhaps he has been played for a fool one too many times and wants to make certain he is in an equal relationship. if he continues to act this way, you could always talk with him about it.

HawkPerception · Answer

No. It could just mean he's smart with his money and has self respect. My favourite saying when it comes to women...  "A woman that can be bought isn't worth having."

Finchie40 · Answer

Are you dating or just friends’ ? If you are dating and he doesn’t spend a dime on you , then you should really reconsider dating him , if you are just friends’ you shouldn’t expect anything from him whatsoever , you are just friends’

unknowngurll1212 · Answer

Not necessarily. Respect isn't measured by money. It's about how someone treats you, values your opinions, and shows care. Financial gestures can be nice, but they aren't the only way to show respect... 🤍

GallopAcrossEurope · Answer

They could just be poor. Or life is getting too busy and they just forget, which is even more common in a world where stress comes in at breakneck speeds.

I won’t spend money on her if she’s the following

- a whore

- has daddy issues

- acts like she’s a goddess

- has an onlyfans account

- slept around from past to present

- messy, rude, bitchy

As a guy, woman and a girl are seen as the prize in this era while the good, loyal, honest guy is seen as a liar…yea no thank you, females aren’t worth it, to every guy reading this, go after them but expect a broken heart.

I don't believe so. Might mean he's not invested in the relationship or that's he's very fiscally responsible.

soe11 · Answer

Not exactly though.  We should spend on right time, right occasion as required. If we see she needed then before asking us should provide her. I spent on my girlfriend as she required.

ThisDudeHere · Answer

Is it true that if a girl doesn't want to sleep with the guy as often as he does that she doesn't respect him?

dragoblack · Answer

No. It means he can't afford to or just doesn't see it as a necessity for a means to show affection... now if he makes her pay for everything, he's no better than the women who do the same to men.

MoonFace2 · Answer

It depends on whether or not he has money to spend. If so and he doesn’t, he might just be a tight arse. Which is a big turn off for me.

His love for you is directly proportional to the size of the diamond he buys you.  It’s not true, but many believe it.

Money doesn’t equal respect! He can spend thousands on you and still not respect you one bit. That is the attitude of a gold digger.

No, I think the amount of money a man spends on a woman is an insight to his self respect and ego.
