Ah, so you DO have a thing for cashiers and secretaries! Well, then, don't complain about the risks of getting involved with them.

And so could any guy who gets involved with her be looking to take advantage of what she has. I've seen that happen, too.

Stay classy.
Did you overlook the part of the thread that's calling women gold-diggers?

On CD-R, they call those women "dinner whores".

Gold-diggers are easy to spot and avoid.

I understand why some guys are fearful, but GD's are usually pretty overt in letting you know what they value most. If you aren't buying them Gucci, taking them on quick trips to Paris and buying expensive dinners within the first couple of months, they won't be happy.

Dating a secretary is a risk? What about an editorial assistant? A paralegal? Because they are not at highest level they are bad people? That means I would have been dateless quite a while. I was always frugal and practical with money so I had assets even if I did not make much money. I resent that someone would ever think suspiciously of me because of my job. That is pretty nasty.

I have met men with minimal assets who thought everyone wanted to take them for their two bedroom house and Toyota Corolla. I never thought anyone I dated was after my "stuff".

My very first post in this thread makes it clear I would have nothing to complain about, and I certainly don't assess people's dating eligibility based on where they're employed.

Sure. I haven't seen anyone here suggest otherwise.

My relationships weren't based on haves and have nots. Plenty of times I pulled more then my fair share...And vice versa. I figure ..Together we are a team. Apart we are just floundering. I dated a millionaire (sold his software company) and not a dime would I ask or take from him. He actually wanted to share his wealth. I just wasn't cut out for that lifestyle...Also dated a guy who was unemployed. Saw him make good on his helping out... So it never came off that he or I owed one another...
Now I have worked with gals who married for money. Works for them as they are trophy wives ..And enjoy the social goodies.
None of them are equiped to make it by themselves...

It is rather ironic. Gold Diggers don't pursue men who don't have money, and therefore, it's not something they need to worry about.


Let the rich guys worry about this.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that most men who have never been on a date who are in their 30's tend to either live at home or with roomates and have a lower than average income for where they live. Pretty hard for women to want to pay the majority of the time for low wage earners. It's okay when you are just out of high school or just graduated college or trades not to have money. It gets stale staying at home watching Netflix and having take out all the time.
