lol - what ever happened to PC feminism and equality.

yet another thread full of hypocrisy.

Women are obsessed with a man's status and bank details.

not the other way round though - funny huh......

How was he wealthy? Through family or from personal work?

There are just as women in the workforce as men. It is true that not all women can run the business well.

But anyway, the important thing is to do something important with your time. Typically entrepreneurs like to "build or create" something. Even if the primary goal isn't to make money.
Not like a king but still enough not to ever work. Money is not all about material things. It is about financial security and doing whatever you want in life.

I am an Entrepreneur.

I wouldn't call lying about income and education on the internet as ambitious.

Not the other way around what? Who is stopping any man from smartening up and caring about a potential partner's professional future? Are you that lazy that you need women to do it for you? I don't think that's even possible. Take responsibility for yourself and future.

You mean that you're unemployed and you use that as a cover as to why you are unemployed?

I am a writer. But still can't find work doing what I love. I will continue trying even if there is no success by 30s. Then I will move on for good.

I personally believe most women care most for money by a certain age. Guys not so much.

I don't care.

I want a guy who works. Plenty of extraordinarily wealthy people still go to work every day. How productive can you feel sitting around all day?

Well you don't need an office to transfer large sums of money to open new businesses or buy existing ones.

^^^ I agree! Women want to be emancipated, have equal rights as men, access to employment (and get paid like a men ), education, equality in the workplace, change in family roles, redress for sexual harassment in the workplace, and equal political representation. Some even try to look like a men, walk like a men, talk like a men and drink like a men...
But when comes to dating... most of them want to be ... cared for, paid for, and be treated like a princess, nothing less. ( the most used word is "because I deserve it!")
Now suddenly man HAS to open the door for her, help her with a coat, shower with gifts, take out to expensive dates (and better not be "cheap"!), read their mind, never argue, HAVE a well paid job and fat bank account because she expect him to pay for everything she desires.
When comes to dating the so called "equality" ends pretty fast and a modern, strong, self-sufficient, woman quickly morphs to a self centered leech, a needy, whinny, spoiled, narcissistic user who do not give rats about a man qualities other than a fat bank account, a big house and expensive car. If she does not drain his bank account during dating, she sure will after they get divorced.
Just look at the poll - there is only one person who said "I don't care" ... and the poll is about dating, not even a marriage...
I just wonder if unemployed women think they should not date, because they are undesirable, or are worried that they are not equally financially participating ...

For the majority of women, dating and marriage are businesses. Women date ( marry) up not down.
Actually its interesting to see that a man with money and position will marry a maid, or waitress if she is attractive and nice to him, but a woman wants more than a guy who bag her groceries, or clean restrooms. He might very well be a great, good looking guy capable of loving her dearly, but she wouldn't even consider him as a potential date because he doesn't have enough earning power.

Most women say they want a man with ennobling qualities: a sense of humor; a guy who's nice to her and treats her well, good values, a strong moral character, etc. Yeah, right! Till an arrogant, philandering, single doctor ( or lawyer) roars up in his Ferrari.
