+1 yAbsolutely. Like you said, it depends on the woman's values, though. But, any woman who is only interested in a man's money is not a good choice, most likely will not be completely satisfied (it is very common for cheating to happen in relationships like these), and will likely be gone once either the money runs out or she finds another guy who can take care of her, whom she likes better.
I do think that there's a difference in wanting a guy to be self-sufficient and have a job and a car, and expecting him to be well off and having her main priority be how much money he makes. It's reasonable to not want to be in a relationship with someone who is financially irresponsible or unable to hold down a job (especially when looking for a serious relationship, as your partner's financial irresponsibility or inability to keep a job will affect you as well if you eventually live and pay bills together and/or share money or property) or expects to be taken care of like a child when they are fully capable of doing their fair share. If I were dating, I would not expect a man to want to provide for me without me pulling my own weight, either. However, someone primarily focused on someone with money to "take care of them" so they don't have to work as hard and get to have a more expensive lifestyle is obviously a red flag.
If you ask me, the kind of person you will be more likely to have a mutually loving and lasting relationship with will be much more concerned about what kind of a person you are and how well you two connect than how well off you are, or what kind of fancy possessions you have.30 Reply

+1 ySure, men can make women happy without money because things that could make a person happy are not always obtained by spending money. Happiness can obtained by engaging in certain hobbies, having good sex, spending time together, etc. However, relationships where men lack money are not always good for women. Men that are short on money are more likely to be moochers that live off their women. As a result, they require women to take care of them similar to how mothers take care of their young sons. Most women that aren't completely desperate would not be happy with taking care of another grown man that should be capable of taking care of himself. Also, men that are struggling financially are more likely to struggle raising a family. Raising a family costs a lot of money and families might struggle to get what they need. Having a job, car, and being in school isn't enough because he could be working a minimum wage job with limited hours, have an old raggedy car that is unreliable for transportation, and students tend to struggle financially until they actually start their careers. Thus, the goal of any woman should be to accept a good man that is financially stable. I get that money isn't everything, but it's still very important in relationships. I also don't believe in going 50/50 either, especially during early dates. I believe that adults, regardless of their gender, should support themselves separately and provide of their kids if they have them.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI’ve seen attractive women fall in love with complete deadbeats.
The thing is the deadbeat knows how to press her buttons emotionally. He knows exactly what to say and behave to keep her in love with him.
As a relatively successful guy this always pissed me off. I’m 100% independent, self made. I ran my own company a few years ago. I currently make a 6 digit income, own real
estate, have an interesting past and I’m well traveled.
BUT the only time I ever “charmed” a woman when I was went through a Peter Pan phase when I was scraping by. My then 25 yr old girlfriend was making more money than me (at 32). I wasn’t a bum but I was living paycheck to paycheck because I was chasing a very consuming hobby. It bothered me that I didn’t have more money. Bothered me much more than it bothered her. It bothered me to the point I self sabotaged the relationship.
Now I’m more settled and have a good career I’m “boring”. The last 3 years have been the worst dating experience of my entire life.02 Reply
Opinion Owner+1 y@mindNsoul funny way back in college I was friends (zoned) with a girl and I flat out asked her this one time. She had a huge crush on me when we first met (she was a bit weird). I wasn’t sure and didn’t make a move on it. She got a boyfriend but I was still flirty around her (didn’t know better being 21)
Anyway I one day asked her why I was single. First she tried to be nice about like “oh you are goal oriented, athletic but your so busy blah blah”. I told her not to sugarcoat it. She then said “your weird. Women don’t understand you and it turns them off. I understand you but I can see why other women don’t like that.”’
I do have a complicated personality. I am very driven when I have goals but I had a very unhappy childhood. I had severe undiagnosed ADHD back then. People didn’t treat me well at all because of it among other things (also had the great sin of being part redhead)
Yes, especially if that's what she's mainly concerned about. It's either that or she likes what he currently possesses and should two separate
she'll leave with the latter.
This really comes down to what that woman values, ya know?
If she's focused on interactions, the experiences, the memories, that will lean towards the guy. She values that.
Guys have to be careful though, because a guy can "humor" a woman who isn't about the for the time being, and he thinks it's genuine appreciation until a guy offering the same comes by with higher net value.
What does the woman value is the question?10 Reply

😂 only a true fool would believe you.
+1 yYes. I’m a rather boring individual. The men I’ve dated who made significantly more money than me always seemed to want to party and do things that involved spending ridiculous (to me, anyway) amounts of money all the time. It’s hard to explain the pressure I felt that came with that. It wasn’t so much I felt inadequate—I mean, they were with me, after all—but more that the introvert in me was DYING from all the fast-paced, constant, and daily activity. The other thing these men seemed to lack is the ability to slow down and spend one-on-one quality time with me. It was weird. I don’t think all men who are wealthy are like this—I just happened to attract this certain type of man for a while which did not at all work for my personality. Very nice people, though, all the same.
My now-husband doesn’t make a ton, but he makes enough to take care of us. We share expenses but he’s more of a traditionalist and covers most things. However, I will say that’s his voluntary decision and I always spoil him as much as possible and contribute every way I can. I really like this more because it feels like we’re a powerhouse team.
What I value most from him though, and what he gives me most compared to any man before him is the amount of personal time and attention he gives me. He pampers me without the need for spending the $$, which I’m all about. It means the most to me when he helps with house chores, we goof around while buying groceries together, and when we compete against each other when we play a board game, puzzle, or video game. It’s the lighthearted simple atmosphere I’ve always been looking for and boy am I glad I found it.10 Reply
+1 yI have my own job and bankaccount so therefore I have my own money:
With a partner to live with I'd have a joined account where we would go 50-50 on rent/utility/food. Whatever we both individualy have left (after puting our share on the joint account) is for each of us to spend as we see fit.
So I don't need the money from someone else and if my partner has nothing left after putting in his share I'll gladly buy him some things he'd like. I'm not stingy and if I can make them happy and they make me happy it's good.30 Reply

+1 yIt's funny. There is definitely a difference between views towards your partner's money situation between men and women.
I couldn't care less how much money a woman has. But women, especially those who want to start a family, want a man who can provide for her and the children at least while the kids are growing up. It's fascinating to me because it's a thought that normally would never cross my mind.
I think it's kind of sexy when they care about your money for this reason. It's sort of instinctual and raw.10 Reply 7.2K opinions shared on Relationships topic. Well, it depends on the overall situation and expectations. There are women who care more about the companionship than how much money the guy has, but, realistically, a guy will usually be constantly denigrated by her family and friends if he's broke. It also depends on how old he is and other factors.

+1 yBoth yes and no. Money provides a certain amount of comfort in life, it is nice to not have to worry about how bills are going to be paid and how groceries are going to be gotten.

"How much does a picnic in the park cost or a dinner and movie at home."
Picnic - assuming it brings wet wipes, sandwiches, juice/water, fruits and snacks. Go to the supermarket, get those groceries and you'll see the receipt will say something like $20 maybe.
Dinner and movie at home - Again, go to the grocery store to pick up ingredients for say spaghetti bolognaise (or order pizza to the house), pick up some red wine (if you're into that), seedless grapes, chocolate and popcorn/nachos. It may easily reach $25.
You see it's not that easy. Even these simple and creative things cost money. - +1 y
@Unit1 serious question, is that a lot of money to you?
I'm pretty sure most women want men that have money, whether they want to admit it or not but if you can't afford the bare minimum that's not really going to be a good sign because the man is supposed to be the provider and if can't even provide for himself then why would a woman choose that man? - +1 y

Unless he's literally a homeless man. Im sure he can afford to make a simple meal or how the hell would he be able to service. If he's got a job, id be concerned with what he'd had been spending his money on to not even be able to buy badic foods. I don't know how much things cost in the US compared to the UK but im pretty sure the UK is the more expensive country out of the two and unless your shopping at harrods for food. It probably cost about £5-£8 to make spaghetti bolognaise or to make a sandwich for two people. If you can't even afford £5 on food, id genuinely be concerned what what you were doing with your money.
And after the first date most woman are pretty happy paying towards the date too - +1 y
To be fair even the homeless men in my town still some how manage to get women too and they pretty much have nothing. Just walk around the city after 10 and you'll more than likely find one of them with their trousers down.

A man is not supposed to be anything other than what he wants to be. He won't conform what others tell what a man is supposed to be.
It's not a lot of money to me. But between 0-22 years I would not have been able to afford $20 for anything. And between 0-20 years literally everybody was "richer" than the penniless me - even those, who were in debts. - +1 y
I don't have a problem with spending money on food and all that. Hell I even go to the beaches out of town by myself (since nobody else wants to) and use the cab. I can also set up a makeshift environment in my base for a massage with lotions and oils for hours of euphoric experience.
