Women claiming they have dated millionaires? (dating, boyfriends, girlfriend, single)

[ducviloxi]

My GF tells me she has dated millionaires in the past and they were all jerks. My GF is reasonably attractive imo but she is 40lbs overweight. I have also read many women on this forum claiming to have dated millionaires. Also, my GF tells me that her friend who is pretty average in my opinion exclusively dates only millionaires. BTW, this particular friend makes only about 80K but she thinks she is entitled to date only millionaires because she is thin and hot.

First off, I have huge doubts about all of this. Just statistically speaking the number of millionaires in the country are not that many. Secondly the number of millionaires in a particular metro region are even more limited. Thirdly, the number of millionaires that are single and available AND looking for a relationship are probably a small percentage of that. Fourthly, out of a very very small pool of potential candidates the chances that one would be asked out on a date given the competition for these millionaires by the plethora of hot women is infinitesimally small.

My view is that these women, my GF included, met some guys who bull****ted that they were millionaires. Anyone can claim they are millionaires, did these women verify their net worth? This is what bothers me!! arrgh!

What do you think? Why is this bothering me? It is because I hate conceited women and this attitude that just because a woman is thin she is automatically entitled to a guy who makes millions... in the real world I am just not seeing it but yet I have heard so many women claiming that they have settled for the good guy earning "only" $100,000/yr when they infact could've got a guy making millions...pfftt!

I make north of $100k/yr and I know how hard it was for me to get to where I am, no walk in the park... but then I meet some women who are like "oh, that's nothing! I used to date millionaires but you're a good guy so I am settling for your poor $100k/yr income"... WTF?

You would be surprised how many millionaires exist these days. Many of them live in some pretty unassuming neighborhoods, too. But then again, you are probably on to something regarding the men that these women have dated. Maybe they were able to project a picture of wealth beyond what they actually had.

If you are happy with your girlfriend I wouldn't worry about it. Unless of course your girlfriend is comparing you to all her "millionaire" ex boyfriends in an effort to make you feel inferior or imply that she can do better. Then you have a much greater problem then other guys out there pretending to be millionaires.

Only 80k? Nice to know that is a pittance in your world especially when you are just tipping over 100k. Kind of hypocritical. Yes?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch: It bothers you because you are getting snubbed, out played and realize you don't have a chance.

millionaires is old school, is now multi millionaires or more rare billionaires

You're kidding, right? Do you realize how pointlessly bitter and angry you sound? Not to mention the insane degree of bean counting you're engaging in...

My mother has dated multiple millionaires since divorcing my father at 50. She's 65, vivacious and frequently courted by men who are very well-off. But she's no movie star. (And Pop has at various times in his life been a millionaire, I'm pretty sure.) They're a dime a dozen - being a millionaire is not that extraordinary these days.

And if you're sitting there scoffing at your girlfriend's dating prospects because she's 40 pounds overweight and only "reasonably" attractive, then maybe you shouldn't be with her. You certainly don't seem to like or respect her much.

I don't pay any attention to women who claim to only date men who make a specific amount. They aren't worth my time.

Same with women with strange height requirements and some other stuff. I don't pay attention to those women.

A million isn't much these days. It can vanish in a single shudder of the stock market. Where do you meet these women? If you don't like the company you keep, keep different company. Problem solved.

People with net worths of 7 figures are a bit more common than you seem to think. A lot of millionaires live in modest houses, drive inexpensive cars, and wear inexpensive clothes. You wouldn't be able to tell them apart from the next guy who makes $40k/year and has little accumulated wealth. Many millionaires got to where they're at by saving and investing smartly.

OP, you sound insecure to me. If you're happy with your relationship with your GF, then stop caring so much about who she's dated in the past. Most people aged 25+ are going to have some sort of previous experience of in the dating/relationship realm.

Interesting thread. That's what I was thinking. Who verified their income? And really, who cares? No disrespect to you, I mean to say to the ladies who cares? I hate a man who talks about exes on dates, it's more tolerable in a committed relationship, but still a bit 'who cares'. My ex was so pretty, my ex was so rich etc. oh yeah, then why aren't you still with them. Just ignor the ex talk except to note if they talk about the ex too much . . .

First you said she's average, then you said she's hot. Which is it?

You sound way too focused on money and, as others are saying, bitter. Who cares who others date? How would a woman know how much money you or others make, anyway, unless you're posting your salary on a dating site or something. I've never had a single woman ask me that question on a date or before going out with me. If she did I'd be running far away, and I sure as hell wouldn't care who she decided to date instead of me.
