That's just an excuse a lot of guys like to make when they get dumped and they happened to spend more than $100 on the girl, or if the wife gets alimony she is automatically labeled a gold digger on this board it seems.

You realize that gold-diggers come at all social levels, don't you? The real test not being the size of the prize, but that they're pursuing financial reward at a level commensurate with their own social standing and ability?

If a woman is a redneck and she marries the best redneck she can to get her beer money and trailer-lot's monthly rent taken care of and to get her snot-nosed kids some new Huggies, that's still a gold-digger.

Just not a wealthy, successful one. Not everybody who's a miner strikes the motherlode.

Well from my perspective.....

If I were loaded, say worth 50 million financially or something and I knew a woman was after me mainly because of my worth financially, not my worth looks and personality wise I would have two options probably.

Lets say there are two twins, one is a gold digger looking to score a "financially secure" hubby and the other twin is a call girl that you get for $300 to $500 a hour.

Now I being the guy, I would work a situation with the call girl twin, get what I want, maybe even get to know her where we "know each other" but it would still be a "arrangement" where she gets payment as goes. Why risk loosing half or most of what I have to the gold digger looking to get married on paper so she is then "entitled"?

At least the call girl twin "works" instead of trying look for a entitlement. And why would I marry a woman who I knew that if I was worth 50 thousand instead of 50 million she wouldn't give me the time of day no matter how attractive or nice I was to her?

Which is another thing, lets say I had a twin. We both have the same personality looks and everything. One of us makes 50k a year the other 50 million a year. A woman meets my one who makes 50k a year and has no interest because of that but then meets my other clone who makes 50 million a year and she chases him. I have no respect for a woman like that. I have more respect for a hooker.

Another thing about the "gold digger" is that she doesn't expect to have to "do" anything in return. I don't have an issue with supporting a woman fully, as long as she supports me in non financial ways. By cooking, and cleaning, and running the errands.

How much experience do you men really have with gold diggers? Most women you meet/dated? Basing it off of others' experience? TV/News?

Honestly, I being the guy if I met a loaded woman I would be more than willing to sign a prenup. Because I am interested in a woman who satisfies me emotionally, sexually and who I can gel with and confide in. If it didn't work out she should leave with what she had and I leave with what I had before marriage.

Mostly from TV/news. However often in personal ads a woman will list "financially secure" among her criteria, it implies what it is. I doubt she means that it means having a steady job lol! It means electricians, cable guy and auto mechanics need not respond

Financially secure means she doesn't want to be stressed out with money issues or have to support the guy. That's really not asking for much. Being financially secure is a sign of being responsible and an adult (although there are those circumstances that no one can control).

Now that I expressed my opinion, I'm cool. Although we could start another debate touching on what I mentioned above about what does a woman exactly mean when she puts in her personal looking for romance ad "financial secure"? What is a guy suppose to get from that?

As I was typing you were replying to the question. But, I disagree, I don't think "looking for man who is "charming" "fun" "interesting" and "financial secure" means just a steady reasonable career, to me I think it implies "way above the average income of society".
