While this thread has the potential to get ugly... I don't agree with the premise... I think if guy has a little green and likes his woman he doesn't mind spending a little scratch... but that is just one man's opinion......
I'm curious as to how all this stuff works... I'm a man of a certain age... I've got a certain amount of money... nothing to be rich over but certainly not working at fast food level... what is this benefits of a man with money... cause I ain't got any REAL money........
I have heard that it's quite common for men with money to be more frugal than men without money.
In terms of a relationship, this means that simply dating a man with money does not equate to much of a benefit to the woman.
What is your opinion on this?
I'll share a little personal note. We grew up with basically nothing and my father worked hard - that much I will give him credit for. He wasn't lazy at all. He and my mother built a company from scratch and then sold it for millions by the time he was 30.
He went from nothing to everything and spent like no tomorrow - and a lot of it on other women. He was a chronic cheat, but had relationships with these women to the point of paying for apartments and things. (I left and supported myself without any of that money when I was 18).
Long story short, he married 3 times. His third wife couldn't wait to live in the big house and be a country club and party wife with her 'trophy husband.' But by the time that happened he had nothing left...even the house was empty of furniture. He had to sell it and his second business and was left with nothing.
I also noted that the women he had and the one's he married got uglier and uglier as he went. No 'trophy' in the looks department there.
He is now doing nothing and she supports him and they live in a modest condo and they also had another child together.

There's no sure thing either way.
Wow!!
I can see the chart with the line going up and then turning and going back down where it started.

Comfort and security. It doesn't have to be spent like it grows on trees, but knowing you won't struggle when the fridge goes or the car needs repair is a comforting thought.
My point is that I think a relattively large number of rich men do not share their wealth with their dates....yes dinner and they get to bonk in better conditions, but no gifts and no help.
I am just talking about dating not marriage.
