Money does matter! It can't buy true love, BUT it can get you tons of sex and relationship with multpile hot girls/guys (marriage, jealous)

And your heart doesn't make you marry a man either. You make that decision. Just because you're in love with someone doesn't mean you have to marry them.
That's true of some people. I don't have to MARRY a guy I'm in love with, but if i'm with a guy, I have to love him. I know many, many men who don't give a rat's behind about love and would rather have someone rich by their side. This attitude is not synonymous with women in particular. Men do it too.

Like fireman, pilot, Special Ops guy, van helsing, serial rapist.
Well the thing is, that if you are a construction worker, you won't get a woman who is a CEO. That's just the way things are. But somebody's hooking up with the construction workers. I guess Maria, the maid is not good enough for you guys. Lol!

Maria, the maid, would be good enough for me if she were hot. You see its all about looks for me.
I don't think its every womans dream to divorce a rich man and take all of his money. But women crave safety and security. Would you be interested in a man who 1) is a foot shorter than you 2)doesn't have a penny to his name?
5'0"? Probably not. That would be physically awkward.
Not a penny to his name? Well, my husband and I used to look in the couch cushions and on the car floorboards to find change so we could buy food. That's pretty close.
Yes, it makes it sound a bit "nicer" but in the end it means the same.
No, they are different. There is more to security than money. A rich man who cheats and dumps his wife for a newer model is not "secure." Security is also about honesty, integrity, and work ethic.
Like I just said, my husband and I scrounged for change at times because we were flat broke. There were days when I'd be excited because I remembered there was a quarter in the washing machine. I also knew that my husband was a hard worker who would make something of himself and build a good life with me for our family, that he loved us, and that we would be together for the rest of our lives.
Two different things. I'm sorry if you can't tell the difference.

The waiter at the corner coffee shop can offer you honesty and all that goodie stuff but not have a penny to take care of a woman and offer THAT kind of security as well. So when a woman wants security she does want all those nicey things AND make sure he has money.
There are exceptions just like everything. Women USUALLY look for guys above their level or at the very least the same level. In your case both of you were broke (same level).

But guys who work in coffee shops do have girlfriends are get married.

Nobody tells me I am such a special snowflake as much as you do, onihC. LOL, what do you want me to say? You're right, you'll never get a woman here, give up, nobody will ever love you? Really?
As for our same level, sure. If you were offered the choice between a pretty woman who was nice to you and a pretty woman who was nice to you AND could cook, which one would you pick, all things being equal? Of course you'd pick the one with more to offer.
Besides, the topic is about how money can buy shallow relationships with hot people, not how poor people manage to find love. That wasn't much of a newsflash. Users find the suckers and vice versa.

That’s right. A girlfriend who’s at the same level or below, NORMALLY.

Trying to throw a jab at me has nothing to do with the topic…so going back on topic, even you women have agreed that women NORMALLY go for guys who are above or at the very least the same level.

And I won’t deny that I would go for the second option. Those are things I am totally capable of offering as well and offer when I am in a relationship. Have a nice guy who happens to be a waiter and drives a, say, 1991 hyunday and a nice guy who has lots of money, an attractive job, a cool luxurious sporty car, etc. they both approach the same woman. Who will walk out of the place with the woman clinging to his arm? The second guy. So, yeah, money can’t buy that rich guy love but it can buy a woman.

On a financial level, maybe. Just like go for women who are at the same level or above in looks. You don't see many good-looking men with significantly uglier women. Men and women value different things.

No, I am not throwing a jab at you, and I am sorry you thought I was. I am trying to show you that you can find a woman who will love you for who you are, despite your constant arguments to the contrary. You don't have to travel halfway across the world to find this woman either.

That's no more valid that saying good looks can catch a man. Can they catch some easy sex? Sure, just like throwing money around can. But for a relationship to last--you know, be secure--there should be something MORE than just looks or money.

That’s right. Women seem to put more importance on the financial level of a man while men may put more importance on looks. But like everything, there are always exceptions, which are just that, exceptions.

Of course. I have mentioned before how a woman in an upper executive job in a Forbes 500 company decided to go out with me instead of all the other high rollers she worked with while I was just a college student in Japan, where we met.

Yup. A woman with good looks will have men all over the same way a man with lots of money will have women all over him. A guy with lots of money can pretty much buy a woman as much as a good looking woman can make men crawl behind her.

Agree. Sure, a man will want to have a woman who is attractive to his eyes but there’s gotta be more than that for the relationship to be successful. Sure, women want men with money, but there’s gotta be more than that for the relationship to succeed.
