Do you believe men can be gold diggers towards women?

I don’t see why not

Yes, some men have mummy issues and look for strong independent women who themselves aren't healthy inside have issues with control and end up being a surrogate mum, the man goes along with it because she is providing stability and wealth to stay safe assuming she is strong financially because of her work position, she might lose her looks over time but he stays because he depends on her for finances. It's a little rare but it does happen.

sure. it's much more rare but it exists.

There was a movie, perhaps from the 1950s, about that subject. She ended up hating her father, who prevented the marriage by telling the man his daughter wouldn't inherit his money.

And while not 100% comparable, but still highly recommended: Billy Wilder‘s 1950 masterpiece, Sunset Boulevard! 👍

Of course..

Of course but rarely actually happens because rich women have higher esteem to be with guy who's successful. While rich guys longs if she's attractive he's happy.

I guess some gigolos who get deeper emotional relations with their clients are financially dependent on them.

Few women would be interested in a man who doesn't earn more than them. Hypergamy is not imaginary.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes but typically not the norm.

For ex. The dude that is dating the singer Cher is definitely a gold digger trying to cash in on that old lady's cash if she suddenly gets sick and die due to her old age.

They can try. However, they will never succeed. Women do not care about broke men.

[Bricealan]

I don't know why not, if a guy is in need or thinks he can glom onto a well-to-do woman

[msc545]

Occasionally, yes, but not very often. The cultural norm of men working and being providers and earning money mitigates against this.

[In_Trance]

The only problem with that equation is that most women don't have excess liquidity

[DryGermanGuy]

Those are called gigolos, no?

[DonaldDarko]

Obviously though it is more rare.

[Dargil]

Sometimes for young men and old women.

[blackeagle007]

Anything’s possible. Not common though

[beefcakebradybatson]

Sure. I could have married a rich broad.

[FunkyMonkee]

Absolutely!!
