Search Results: wanting someone for their money

“'Gold digging' is, in my opinion, reprehensible and those having such intentions must be blamed and shamed. As a woman, I think it is extremely disrespectful and unscrupulous of a person to leech off another person's hard-earned financial assets for selfish benefits. Not to mention that it is shallow to seek out the company of a person simply because they have money.

The above is a discussion on a feminist subreddit and the sheer shamelessness and hypocrisy of the modern 'feminist has appalled me to the core. These women give such lame excuses like "women are programmed to choose the best for themselves" and "a woman deserves someone who can give her a good life" to justify their materialistic greed.
I mean, seriously? Feminism is about equality and enfranchisement of women so why are we upholding the patriarchal notion that it is the man's responsibility to 'provide for the woman? Why are we encouraging and even celebrating a woman's financial dependence on a man?
If a woman wants a good life, she has to earn it for herself. Nobody owes her anything in life and if she wants something, she must work for it rather than robbing resources that she does not deserve.”

No I’m not a sociopath. In fact I am sometimes too empathetic for people.

Anyway I have known a few in my life (even regrettably dated one in the past). I can’t change their nature but just accept the sad fact they can never be trusted. Sociopaths will only value people to the point they get value out of them. This can be sneaky because their “value” can mean different things. It can be looks, money, sex , social optics, etc. Even the ones who are heavily involved in “social justice” initiatives just want the social kudos that come along with it vs. really caring about the people they are supposedly fighting for. Sociopaths see life as a chessboard.

They get paranoid about being “found out” because when they know when that happens people don’t trust them. They need to be trusted to gain their own ends. So they are good at acting and behaving seemingly genuine. But when no one’s looking they will be the last to inconvenience themselves to help someone else who can’t repay them. That’s the acid test of identifying a sociopath; how do they treat people who can’t benefit them.

With all that said a part of me can’t help a bit envy for these people at times. They seem to always get what they want. Sociopathic men usually do (at least initially) very well romantically with women compared to more empathetic men.

It’s because they come off as confident and non chalant because they aren’t worried about hurting a woman’s feelings. They understand the concept of challenge and good at being manipulative. But they put on acts like they care to convince them otherwise. And of course they become the nasty heart break stories women complain about. Then some of these hurt women generalize ALL men for these asshole’s bs.

But on the flip side it must be a heavy burden knowing that you can never really be trusted and must always cover your ass.
