What about men who use their money and power to manipulate young women? You guys don't hold the moral high ground with all of your "gold digger" rhetoric.
I can't tell you how many times I was offered dinner at expensive restaurants, shopping trips or weekend getaways by affluent men while I was working for the airlines. Business travelers and pilots were the worst.
Is this what they mean when they tell other men that they have to make money to be successful with women?
I think their point is supported by most of the comments in this thread which make it clear that a man who is not doing well financially is worthless.

Or perhaps it's their rational for not doing well with women. "I can't get a girl because I am broke."
I know a lot of guys who don't make a ton of money and they still manage to find a wife or girlfriend.
Not every guy who has a partner is a baller and there are plenty of guys in relationships.
This seems like a sure way to get a golddigger and i would always be wondering if she is with me for money and I couldn't accept that.
Would you be attracted to someone who isn't at or near your income level anyway? Why do so many guys think that women don't have lucrative careers? Or do you just have a thing for cashiers and secretaries?

OP, you might be surprised at the number of men who advise single women homeowners to watch out for loser guys who are out to arrange a steady roof over their heads, or a rent-free place to live.
I've never understood the fear of being taken advantage by a gold digger, since that's easily avoided by simply not giving her any money or anything valuable. 21st century women love to brag about how well they can take care of themselves. Hold her to that.
How about dating peers, and marrying on of them? Is that such a revolutionary concept?

It doesn't matter who makes what. She could make twice what you do and still be looking to take advantage of what you have. Trust me I've seen it happen.

Meh. Lots of beautiful cashiers and secretaries out there that would make far better partners than most lucrative women I know.
I'm really over this entire subject. If someone is determined to think all women are gold diggers and that wanting someone who is on the same level as them is shallow, just don't fool with them.
They are clearly set in their ways and nothing is going to change that for them. It is what it is. You can throw all common sense, logic, knowledge, and evidence in the world at these people, and they will still refuse to see it.
Let them think what they want and continue to stay stagnant for the rest of their lives.

But I'll say this, why gold dig when you already got the gold?

I don't know. Is a woman expecting the man to pay for the $6 worth of Burger King on a date still considered a gold-digger?
