girls are pigeons

[yr990097]

can anyone tell me why girls are always after our money just like pigeons are after the bread..

[whiskeysheri]

yr990097, my boyfriend has a lot of money. I don't want a penny of it. I've always paid half for everything, nothing excluded. I couldn't give a t*ss what a man earns, I just want to be in a happy relationship. Have you had a bad experience?

[little coojy]

its the person that matters not there wallet, i always pay my way, i wouldn't want it any other way.

What a rubbish thing to say. It makes me angry when women are portrayed as money grabbers. Grow up.

I think I may be responsible for this question. On a question he asked in P&P yesterday I said the thing that atracted women above all else is money. That relates to a lot of very shallow women who need other peoples money to increase their own status which cannot stand up on their own.

yr990097 Im sure you will get a lot of answers from women here saying that they value more than a mans money. These are women who stand up on their own merits.

my fiance has no money and i woudnt change him one bit!

[gessoo]

I can honestly say that I have never been attracted to a man because of his money. I married one with a huge overdraft!

Money and possessions don't matter a jot to a lot of us women.

I totally agree. I'd much rather be happy in my relationship than be with my fella for his money. I get a great sense of satisfaction when I have saved to buy the pair of shoes I have wanted and would never expect my fella to get them for me.

Some are, some aren't. My first wife literally sold our children to me, saying she didn't want them when we were divorcing but that it would take me giving her all of the money in the bank plus the house for her not to go for full custody and make it as hard as possible for me to see them.Naturally she got the house etc and I got the kids (I got the really worthwhile deal:)).

My second wife however took me on having been cleaned out completely by my first wife with all of my children in tow and supported me financially and emotionally through some really bad times initially.

Like men, there are good and bad women, you just have to be discerning.

[Zorr0]

Are u happy noxi...that u got the kids and not the money...coz u can always start again and make money ...but never replace the kids that you had..even with more kids.

[Jennykins]

The girls that want your money are the same girls that you just want there a*s .... HAHAHA

But, where Im from gold diggin girls get made fun of.. So not so many girls are like that.. Pretty much ever girl I know has a job, even if she has 2-3 kids..

Perhaps you are going after the wrong girls!!!

I am certainly not like that and nor are any of my friends :-)

[WendyS]

Perhaps you just have a bad choice of women i.e. those who value the material things in life rather than the things which really matter.

if you hang around pubs and nightclubs where most of the girls only seem interested in booze, the latest fashions and having a good time you're not likely to meet the ones who are busy making careers for themselves, saving hard to buy their own homes and working out strategies to live happy and fulfilled lives.

I'm glad to say not all girls are like that yr990097!

I married my husband for love, not for money! We didn't have two halfpennies to rub together when we got married & have both worked very hard to buy all the things we needed in life. We've always been a good team!

[noxlumos]

zorro, I was thrilled. As you realise money is just rubbish and replaceable. Been with my current wife for nearly 10 years now, rebuilt my businesses, had more children and none of the kids differentiate between full, half or step siblings.

My first wife has lots of "stuff". New car, new sofa, new kitchen etc and apparently is happy with that, since she never bothers to stay in touch with her kids even though we encouraged it. Each to their own, but just proves you have to make sure your essential sensibilities are the same or it's a recipe for disastser......

I'd rather have a good looking poor man than an ugly rich man. Ugh..i could not be physical withsome some i did not find attractive, and maybe, many times men offer money to women to entice them into a relationship. If you start the ball rolling like that then face the consequences. Don't flash the cash and you'll be alright. Make her want you for you instead, which she should have been interested in the first place

[smurfchops]

Not always, you obviously pick the wrong types.

[whiskeysheri]

I just want to say, noxlumos, you are a fab dad!! x

I'm 24, and I come from a poorer family, and when I was performing in a show in Hilton Head (South Carolina), I met a very wealthy man...money was simply not an issue. I had never experienced a life where money was not an issue. I was picked up in a Porshe one day, and the next day a Lexus. His home looked like something you'd see on MTV. Dinners at the yacht club, rides all night long on his boat, Drinks and the most exspensive wine. It was a nice treat, and I'm thankful I experienced that. But for the first time in my life, I can see what women find attractive about money. It makes life easier, and you are able to have more experiences simply because you can pay for them. I'm not saying I would look for a man with money, but I wouldn't turn one away that wanted to treat me either.
