Money can certainly make life easier which in turn can make you happy/happier which in turn could make you more lovable and in the end, help you find love.

Interesting cycle if you ask me.

Yeah, KMG1. Give him a chance. Think of him as a long-term lottery ticket. Who knows, maybe this potential "Kenny G" strikes it rich and becomes the man you want him to be.

In the meantime, think of the sex as the anxious giddy feelings you get in the minutes before you check your powerball numbers...

Well KMG1 it never seems to go through womens' minds that maybe, just maybe you women could be THE main economical provider and let the guy be a Mr. Mom if the relationship is all that.

Wasn't the goal of feminism to take women out of the kitchens? Well now you women get to have the same responsibilities as men.

You REALLY want to give up a guy you really feel awesome with just because of money? If you do, you deserve all the misery in the World.

`Is he in a rock band,what type of music dose he play?I sugest you go to his gigs for awile and see the type of enviroment he is subjected to.Guys in bands are like catnip for women and they rarely make good LTRs-bad hours and easy acssess to hot women.I know you think you found an exception but please dont delude yourself.The fact that he had to say he was a one woman man is in itself a red flag.

Husband material at 22? He's still pubertizing.

Yeah, I had that happen to me several times. Those party girls, they see how much of a good worker I am, how much i enjoy studying, and how I have my life all figured out; they decide I'm hsuband material.

Problem is that I turn around and look, notice the fact that they are in their mid 20's, that they had their fun and now they want the security and stability(and the house ah!) I can provide them with.

I smile at them and say "I ain't paying full price(or any price at all) for what others had for free, especially when you were younger and more fertile and more good looking".

Pisses them off all the time, to see a man who is going places to reject them and in such a sarcastic tone.

;D

Somehow I doubt your little stories. Bragging on the internet about your money and how wonderfully happy you are with no woman just seems sad and kind of pathetic and almost desperate...for attention.

It's mostly a wake up call for men. So they know that there is more to life than pleasing women and more to life than fullfilling their biological drives(which are often bad for them).

Whether you believe it or not, that is your problem. My bank account keeps on growing, and I fail to see how a 190cms male would be desperate for attention
Stop being bitter. It doesn't make you anymore appealing to men.

Or are you that angry that men aren't willing to buy used up goods?

Heh, I bet that there tons of independent women mad at me because they are never going to get their hands on my money and property. I have a lot of fun when I tell women I don't want to get married etc.

"But you are going to end up alone!!"

"Yes, and rich too! Double win!"

Love their reactions. Try it, guys. Lets see if it's all stories LOL!
