Why are so many people these days gravitating towards money and wealth instead of seeking out happiness and genuine connection instead?

I assume you by the use of "genuine connection" you are asking why people are looking to date those with money versus those that are truly good people. I don't think that is necessarily true as a generalization. It also has always existed.

Those that are just in it for the money have always existed. That is nothing new. Is it worse now? Maybe. I did not look for money when I started dating my fiancé. He does well enough, but I had zero clue of that when I first asked him to have lunch.

We started dating because we were a good fit for each other. I fell in love with his personality and character. He was/is such a gentleman, which is super attractive to me. He does all the little things that seem to be a lost art anymore.

Opening doors, pulling out my chairs, etc are all little things that make me feel special. In turn, I do similar things for you to show how much I appreciate him and what he means to me. Money has nothing to do with it.

It doesn't apply to everyone. I can live happily with less money. My parents show me rich guys who are not my type and I keep telling them I'm not interested.

You are very sensible and practical in my opinion. Thank you for your response

Collapse of the family structure. So many people are not born into stable, loving environments. The result is many of then create and continue that cycle. If they raise kids they're from broken marriages if they ever marry at all and raise equally f***ed up kids.

Most people today equate notoriety with love. Look at all the recent shooters have this in common. Most women are single mothers because they have no idea what a decent man looks like. So they follow thier biology and what other girls desire. Which almost always ends badly for them.

Wash, rinse, repeat, the cycle continues. This is going to get a lot worse before it ever gets better.

Money buys happiness. The people with all the money insist otherwise but that's just because they want to keep it, and so want to discourage us from demanding they pay us properly.

They think the money and material comfort will give them access to happiness. They’re pursuing the wrong things, of course, but it’s not their fault.

Success and happiness are defined by money for msny

Many believe that happiness, love will be attained through high wealth.

Money pays the bills and gets you what you need.
