Anonymous(36-45)1 moI will maintain what I have said about this topic of love and money my whole adult life. Of course, I want love. I want my heart to pitter patter. I want a healthy relationship with give and take, and loyalty, and with someone who is my best friend, first and foremost, but I also do not believe that "all you need is love." Love doesn't pay a mortgage. I grew up poor, I know. My family moved to this country and had to start with barely anything. It was beyond hard. Sometimes we barely had food to eat and basic necessities were often a luxury to us. The struggle was so real and life became about enduring it rather than living it.
My partner has always been my equal or my better financially. I don't do the gold digging thing, because that's not me, but I've been with financially responsible people. If you've never lived in poverty, you do not understand how hard you will claw tooth and nail to never go back. I have no problems with someone who is in poverty but working to get out of their situation, i.e. in school, working to move up, etc, but will not be in a relationship where they are content with living on the struggle bus. I also know that, at least in my POV, simply pursing someone because they have a good job will not feed your heart and soul in the way you need it to, to be happy long term. It's a disgusting practice that sadly often both parties will accept for whatever reason rather than committing to a real relationship that is based on love.00 Reply

@RandomGirl42 that’s a great thing , because most of us guys’ dream of having a girl like you
Anonymous(36-45)1 moBoth girls I have the gut instinct that they thought I was wealthy, and I’d shower them with gifts; and when that didn’t happen, they seemed to “check out.” That being said, I think I just dated really horrible immature girls. It’s hard not to get in that mindset when most of what you see is that sort of thing…
I can’t find someone who will want to be bothered past small talk. They look at the surface stuff, that’s all that seems to matter. Since I don’t have the looks, the height, the influence, it’s hard to find interest. It’s not a nerd friendly area. I work for myself, and the few places with coworkers had no office romance policies (not that it would have really mattered). Most friends are busy starting families, so no single friendly parties or meeting through friends.
I got hurt a while ago (some PTSD, and headaches/tinnitus, etc), so it’s hard to socialize on my end, too. Going out is hard to justify because I get overwhelmed easily, so after work and chores… I just want to relax at home.00 Reply

Or there's moments where they do find love but they don't love them back
There's more women than want to find true love than to take some guy's money
But there are those girls out there that heavies have been burnt or been through the ringer , and i'm sure they want money , but more percentage of women would love , I believe00 Reply

Ah, the age-old love or gold dilemma! My aim here on Girls Ask Guys is to help unravel hearts, not wallets! 😏 While some people might prioritize financial stability, many are seeking genuine partnership and love. Relationships should be about mutual growth, shared dreams, and emotional connections. If someone seeks only financial support, it's definitely a red flag, and you're right to be cautious! Keep looking for someone who values you for you, and not just what's in your wallet. Love has a way of showing up when you least expect it! 💖

945 opinions shared on Relationships topic. The majority of women, even the ones claiming differently, DO value money more than love. And the majority expect the man to support them. If they have their own money, or even make more than him, it is all for their own entertainment and they still expect him to support them. They also often lose interest in the man if she makes more than him, that is why even the ones that claim it is fine if the man makes less, often leave him eventually. They aren't in a relationship with a man that makes less than her for 20+ years, it is temporary and she leaves, that is how it really works.

1 moMost of the very desirable women I know, are mainly in it for love. Obviously, they don't wanna be with a deadbeat but they also don't need to be with a millionaire. Some of them are dating or married to blue collar guys and are very happy in their relationship and respect what they do.
20 ReplyYou are going to be on on hellofa search to find a decent woman these days.
Sorry it's the truth, they all have mental health issues and if something doesn't go there say they cry at one form or another of abuse or medical or mental health problems so everyone looks at them as the victims.

Anonymous(18-24)1 moMoney is usually the last resort when you have nothing else to offer. Girls who chase after you for money do that because your personality is shit but you could offer stability financially (i assume? since you mentioned girls wanting to use you for your money?) Probably work on your personality starting with stop blaming women for everything that’s wrong with your life, and you’ll attract down-to earth-women. Because with that personality of yours, makes sense why women who have emotional intelligence, empathy, and a good career would avoid you like the plague. Being bitter about your female exes seems to be something you dwell on all the time on here and honestly it’s sad.

Women do care about money I could prove it. How many women will f*** a donkey for money or stay with evil murders guy that beat them like football players with money have wives women don't want to struggle at least be honest about it but why depending on a guy when you could be the boss I think if there was less gold diggers we would have a female president by now and just so you know I've talked to a lesbian and she said that women are more complicated and they do care about money

I treat girls’ the same way I want to be treated , most girls’ do love my personality, and say they want true love as well, but when push comes to shove , it comes down to money , which makes me turn the other way , I don’t care of a girl is rich or not, all that matters is she knows how to support herself independently, and wants to be with a guy that works with her so the both of us can live comfortably and spoil each other , , not a girl that just puts her hand out like I am her walking ATM machine , to me that isn’t love , that is being used
Opinion Owner1 mo“i treat girls the same way i want to be treated”, this could mean anything, including how you might dismiss difficult feelings and refusing to understand concepts that are foreign to you, in which might be relevant to women.

I value dignity and respect and honesty , so if a girl treats me that way , I will do the same for her , if she is a liar and a selfish person that backstabs me or is disrespectful to me , then I will be disrespectful to her and walk the other way , Love only grows when 2 people choose each other and value each other , with honesty and respect for each other , I don’t expect perfect because there is no such thing is perfect , but definitely someone close to perfect is someone I would trust and give my heart to
1 moWomen want prestige, bling and financial security. When they get what you provide and you are at the pinnacle of achievement in your career, they will eviscerate you in divorce, take the spoils and destroy your career, reputation and children. Get an armor plated pre-nup if you believe you will prosper.

1 moI would be a hypocrite if I said money don't matter, but I would chose love overall if its mutual. Money can always be made but finding someone who can't love u properly or just them being with u because ur their only option, scares the hell out of me.
10 Reply827 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I don't think most girls with a profitable jobs, inheritance and high social status are interested in more money. Of course there are some exceptions but those confirm just the main rule. I think the threshold of girls with higher income who look for relationship quality is much higher than by girls with low income and without any financial assets, which use their natural assets to improve their financial situation.
I'm pretty sure men would that too if situation was reversed
20 ReplyNo, I have my own house and I have work that makes me relatively happy. I also highly recommend all the women around me to have their own money in case of emergency.
And it honestly seems very boring to spend the next 60 years of my life at home. I'd like to keep busy.21 Reply- 1 mo

1 moIt sounds like you are dealing with trauma and trust issues. And with that mindset, any woman who will come into your life you will not like them. You already labeled and categorized all women to be after your money. So, it’s also hard to admire and accept your personality when it comes searching for love. Whenever you don’t like women in general sense.
01 Reply 6.4K opinions shared on Relationships topic. Women are no more or less transactional than men. If you don´t want a woman to be with you because of your wealth, then don´t flaunt it. Don´t date a woman who only feels valued if you are spending money on her. If she can´t enjoy your company otherwise, don´t continue dating her.
For a first date, take a woman to a reasonably priced restaurant that you enjoy, not the most expensive restaurant in town. If she feels slighted, then you´ll know what she really wants.20 Reply- 547 opinions shared on Relationships topic.

Anonymous(25-29)1 moI want both. I want love, but I would never be with someone cheap or 50-50 guy. If he doesn’t support me financially and pays for everything I wouldn’t be with him. It’s unattractive, unmanly icky behavior and I’d lose interest. So, I want a man I genuinly love, feel attracted to and want to be with. And he’d have to be of provider mentality.
