Meh, there are gold diggers out there, but they are a tiny percentage of all female population, and more often than not are pretty upfront about who they are and what they are after. Im more alarmed about how many guys use their lack of wealth as an excuse for failure with women. Being wealthy certainly helps, but is hardly a necessity in order to attract any woman. Ive never been wealthy, because its never been one of my personal goals, but have had some very well paying jobs and my success with women was actualy worse than when holding jobs that paid a fraction of that. Money isnt all that, its really not as crucial to your happiness as many believe.
I believe he means that a woman going after a man who makes 6 figures 'just for the money' fits the bill.
It's all kind of relative though isn't it? Any person who has more feelings for the money than the person (no matter the income) is technically a gold digger. Anyone who 'always complains about gold diggers' (per the OP) needs to find better dates.
If that's what he means, then I would agree. But it is all relative. And most people aren't after other people's money in a relationship.
I get kind of sensitive to the issue because I was once accused of being a gold digger. Makes me laugh--but in an angry sort of way. When I married my now Ex, I made twice as much as he did and had a sizable nest egg in the bank. I made more than him for the first 8 years but we moved around to advance his career (which hurt mine). In the last couple of years, he finally caught up to me and in the last year of our marriage finally started earning more than I did.
Despite that, during the divorce he started calling me a gold digger. I was furious. I certainly didn't marry him for money and we decided as a couple that I would put my career on the back-burner in favor of his--and HE was the one leaving me!
He later apologized to me (I didn't prompt him either--he just admitted it was wrong and his insults were uncalled for. I accepted his apology too). We actually get along fine now--but I still will never forget it.
Funny thing is now. I've known the man I am dating now for years and I have no clue how much he makes. I don't care either. We just have a lot of fun together and I enjoy being with him (and being close to him).
It's not "capable of supporting you." It's "capable of supporting your lifestyle."
My wife and I have a mutually agreed upon lifestyle.
Lots of guys here whine even if a woman wants him to have a decent job. Like that makes them gold diggers and that a woman who does not contribute a paycheck (even with kids to raise) is a freeloader.
No it's not soliciting sex only but it is the truth. According to CDR that is. Women only want guys for $$ didn't you know that.
Except for the threads were women only want tall men... or only want extremely good looking men... or whatever the flavor of the day is.
