You know I used to believe what is inside person, personality, etc is only thing that really mattered in relationships. I naively thought people wouldn't so easily attracted to something superficial like money. In last year or so I have come to realize how wrong I was.

First thing that happened is related to my friend's girlfriend. He was dating this hot blond he met at bar and thought things were pretty serious. However, she left him for an old man with a lot of money. She is marrying the old guy at a big wedding in Hawaii this month. Guess she was bar to find rich guy and my friend was just her plaything. My friend is still quite depressed about it and I am also sad about this situation.

Second there was this one co worker I never figured out he got cute girls. He really looked ugly (bad teeth, half bald, etc) and was 40+ years old. Yet he managed to get 20 year old girls around my age. He got almost a new girl or two every week! In fact, I swear he had an arrogant personality. In our holiday party he shouted at his lasted girl that he would dump her the moment she got even a bit fatter. Most people were shocked he dared to say that in public and the girl wasn't happy at all. Anyhow, I finally figured out he picked up these girl at some high end private club. Supposedly it costs $500+ per month for men, but basically free for girls. He would just show up there dressed nice and acting rich to pick up new girls as needed!

Now I am not saying money will buy you true love or even love at all. But what it can at least to do is get a hot girl even if you lacking a lot in other departments. Of course, there are many nice girl who aren't attracted to money. However, I have come to the conclusion there are just as many hot gold diggers who chase after money.

To obtuse and shallow women, it matters. A real woman could give one damn about money. Give a real woman love over money any day of the week. End of story. And if all you care about are "hot golddiggers," do some serious self-examination. Find a pretty women who loves you for who you are, listens to you and has something in common with you.

That's two examples. Now what about examples of women who chose love over money? I'm sure you can think of more than a few...

I love living here. I also like the fact that I can get by and also do all the things I like to do on almost nothing. Even if I have to forgo any sort of companionship.

that's why I bolded the bar part too. looks doesn't make a woman a gold digger, but it gives them the opportunity.
