So from what I'm understanding it's that as long someone has money you can cheat with someone who looks better then your S/O. Really??
While your at it why don't the two of you just smack each other around? Besides if your just going after money who needs to be loved? According to some on here it's over-rated anyhow. On the plus side when your S/O dies you can save your gold digging arse money by pushing thier dead body into a ditch.

After all the person you married for thier money deserves your best.

Personality + the chemistry between us ( which is a blend of physical and intellectual attraction for me). Money ? Meh. Been there , done that, got the T-Shirt. Money is over-rated. I obviously prefer not to be poor and would rather be comfortably off but wealth is definitely not what I am after. As long as I have enough for my needs then I need no more. Money is great but it really is not that important. To me it is more a cherry on the cake rather than the cake itself.


If a guy is boring as hell , he can have all the money in the world or in fact look like an Adonis and nothing will make me interesting and appealing enough for me to waste time with Him.


Both looks and money are grossly over-rated IMO. Sexy often has little to do with looks but how you somehow connect with someone in my opinion. Highly personal basically.

I would much rather have an intelligent, fun, exciting, good decent man in my life than a wealthy boring guy or a "gorgeous" dullard. Life is about more than sportscars, yachts and rolexes and sheer physical beauty hopefully.

B. A man with subpar looks, balding, a bit of a beer belly, but earns a six-figure salary.
I would prefer someone more health conscious than not so in this scenario, I would chose A. but this had nothing to do with the salary or really the looks. All things being equal? Healthy lifestyle for life long companion.

That's for the most part who you see changing planes in airport concourses, texting or having a very rehearsed sounding conversation on their cell phone.
He-he, I absolutely agree with this, but I never thought of the correlation between your point and my own observation of seeing the most attractive men at airports. I just figured they always lived in other cities offering better positions (which is true). It's not only that, though... The type of position makes a difference, too, and they do mostly travel on business.

In my previous post on the previous page, I'm saying what I strongly believe that MOST women want. I personally am dating someone w/ zero money, so you know I'm not in it for the money. I love his personality & the way he treats & repsects me.

Also, look how many women you see w/ the old, bald, fossil face, who's RICH.

Many women just like to be able to be pampered, shop, travel, get lavish gifts, be wined & dined. That can't be done if the man doesn't have money.
Yes, and in real life, the same individuals who go to crime scenes with guns drawn are also in the forensics lab performing experiments.

This is sort of a sad "reality" for guys. If a women would prefer money over someone that they are attracted to/ in love with. Then that says alot about the "morality" of some women. You would really rather be with a guy that you wouldn't want to touch, play with/ look at than with someone who get's your heart rolling. That's pretty sad. Money isn't everything.

I thought many women on c-d had a little more tact then that..But the money side is winning pretty handedly. So that tells me alot..Kind of sad if you ask me. It seems to speak volumes of many things. For one, it makes me wonder what sort of fears "women" are having in this current economy. Which doesn't really make sense, because last time I knew-there were more women in college than men. So if it is strictly for financial security, then their union isn't one of love/desire/want. It's strictly out of "economic security". Which goes against everything that marriage is supposed to be. How have we "morally" fallen so hard as a race? This is very sad. Because I think people are being honest. They are basically saying, I can live without being in love and what not as long as I can get my hair/ finger nails/ whatever done when I want to, as well as having a huge home to come home too and no financial worries..I would like to think that women have a more holistic view of life in all its spiritual form..I am also wondering how many men have answered money for them? Hmm, very eye opening if nothing else. I guess I am a bit naive/ dellusional. I thought, when it comes down to it, we find partners who we are attracted to and have something in common with. Not just someone to take care of us..
