I think it's extremely limiting to look at life that way. Not only does it turn dating into a big competition, but life too.

You wouldn't associate with somebody who didn't have the level of education you have or make the amount of money you make?

It's so hard to find good reliable people, I can't even imagine what it would be like if I limited my pool of people to those just like me.

But anyway, to each their own.

I'm with you on this point


I want somebody who is relatively close to me in appearance and is stimulating/pleasant to be with but I'm not going to discount her because she makes 1/3 my income or because she has no college degree while I have a management degree from a good school. All that stuff is superficial anyways

Only 150k???

If I'm gonna' dig, it's for much deeper pockets.

I agree. She isn't a gold digger if you make 200,000-she is in love with you.

Please explain the difference between someone's else's wife "sitting at home" and your wife "staying at home." You initially seem to say that a wife who does not work is a golddigger, yet later you say it's an ideal situation for you.

For the most part, I think "golddigger" is a term thrown around by guys who have no gold to dig and generally just want to ***** about splitting the tip at Applebee's.

She unfriended me on here, I know I don't have the same education and probably other traits in which I'm probably not an equal to her, so she definitely follows her guidelines.

Lots of women have to take time off work when they have kids, they need to know that their husband can support them during that time


Besides, why would anybody want to have a relationship with somebody who didn't know how to plan their finances or couldn't make a decent living?

It's a C-D phenom. Most men IRL don't think this way. Besides, gold-diggers come in both genders. My cousin got cleaned out by a gold-digger who took her for half her worth, including her house. She's refused to sign a marriage license since then.

It's not about looking at life. It's what is. Do you know what census is? Census reports on US demographics, vital statistics, income, family, etc. Historically and currently, people of the same cloth couple. It makes no difference what people think of it. And it's not about who I would or would not be willing to associate with. It's about who I'm around everyday, and everyday I'm around my people. And these people tend to have the same level of education, financial status, interests (music, art, hobbies), etc.
