Luxury items and large amounts of money are always nice to have, but people shouldn't base their whole lives around them.

Money is not exclusively a female thing. I'm a guy, and I definitely want the finer things in life. But I am not going to base a relationship with a woman on how much money she does or doesn't have.

But it's not as big an issue for most men if theyr woman isn't very rich, the man is supposed to be the provider. NT relationships tend to go something like this, woman uses man for money and status, man uses woman for sex, this is what they seem to call love. The man has to obtain the lady, the lady usually only has to find her guy (and she's got alot more options that the man because of how courting rituals). And no this is not a sexist statement, it is plain obvious non-bias fact. Blindly defending any criticism against females, no matter how accurate it is, and no matter of the fact that I do not mean it as a personal attack, just shows a sexist point of view on the part of feminists. I honestly think alot of these kind on here are kicking themselves if they hear that a guy on here actually defeats the odds and gets a lady. Because your dominance issues breem right through for anyone with a brain to see.
I'm a man, but, I will not only tolerate criticism of men, I will add to it. I also think it's stupid that a guy is treated like an icon or a hero if he gets alot of play, whereas a woman would be treated like a whore or a tramp if she got alot of play. I have stood up for females before on this board, I'm not against women, but I'm not a man hating self-loathing aspie tom either. So you can see I am unbias here. But I think the guys have it worse because theyr being starved out of a major primary drive.

Snake yeah you're right. That is what they call love. It's a big sham on the whole. Of course there are those who claim to have found their "soulmates" lol. Wonder what's up with all the divorces lately though?

I am sure your not talk about sex but general intimacy even just holding hands. The thing is when I am alone the best thing that I can do for myself is just be alone no other option or choice just be alone there is no other option.

I'm sorry... I don't mean to make a stereotype or anything, it was more of a casual observation, nothing conclusive. Of course some women will always want a guy with money, but I think the vast majority of women don't go looking for someone with cash, if that clarifies my opinion at all without backtracking on what I previously posted.

Maybe if woman were paid as much as men for doing the same work they would not have to depend on a man to help support themselves.

You get the odd woman here and there that date guys for cash but then you get men that do it too. Most of us want some form of stability from a relationship, and it's usually a combination of emotional and financial. What I mean by this is that most of us want to live within our means and ensure that we are not being jerked about emotionally. For example, I am the earner in my relationship as my boyfriend is too ill to work ever again (we don't live together). However, if we were to, we would probably be in a situation where we could still afford to have food on the table, a roof over our heads and go out on the odd occasion. On top of this, we would be emotionally stable together as we fully trust each other, do not hide our love from one another and we do not mess with each others' emotions. We may be a little poor but we manage and we are happy. That's all I have ever asked for in a relationship, is to be happy and I am.

Do I want money? Of course I want money! I don't want to get out of college with a bunch of loans, I want to be able to pay for cat insurance, I want a home of my own when I grow up and not an apartment, I want to be able to afford and independent life with my boyfriend-


Money is very important these days, especially with the future. And with all these things you see above it's a wonder there is still money to spend on something fun D:

Do women only want money? No.

First, that's a blanket statement. All females cannot possibly want the same thing(s).

There are some superficial women who seek pleasure in life primarily, and love receiving gifts. There are men who only want extremely pretty women. In the best of worlds those types find each other and live happily ever after.

I think women do dislike CHEAP men. Miserly with dollars often means miserly with affection also. It is about control. Women are not impressed if a man continually refuses to have fun, go anywhere, pay for a dinner out, etc., because he's cheap with his money. If he HAS no money, that's different. Many women do not mind that, but be honest about that up front to save you both misery later. If she cares about that it's best to know sooner. No use judging her, everyone needs different things from life.

Sometimes too, women spend money if they are unhappy. Show me a housewife who has run up the credit cards and I will show you a woman who is not getting much love/affection.

And the last thing I'll say is most women these days earn their own money. ;-)

But men with money is always more desirable; it exists to a large extent on woman genes.

What you said is absurd as saying woman do not fancy men with big muscles because the death of manufacturing in dusty means that men’s psychical strengths is not required.
Or men don’t fancy woman with breasts because since the invention of powdered milk, a child does not longer need breast-feeding.

What a silly question... I mean, that is the same as asking 'Do all men only talk to women to get in their panties?'. I, for one, have little care for money. Of course, it is nice to be able to get my books and other obsession related things, but I don't care about big houses and luxuries and would not like to be kept anyway. I think there are things in life that are so much more important than money.

Let's ask a similar question, shall we?

"Do all men like women with big hips?"

There we go. Now if the answer is yes, I've got it made! :lol: But if the answer is no...I'd better find me some stick-on hazard lights and a 'wide load' placard as some witty poster put in another thread :lol:

Fact is, evolutionarily speaking, wide hips meant healthy weight and ease of childbirth etc. Does every man desire a woman with a fat backside these days? Hardly. There's a HUGE range of preference from morbidly obese to deathly anorexic and everything in between.

So is it in women's genes to go for a guy with lots of money?

Don't be ridiculous.

Sure it's nice to have, but to go down the path of pointing at NTs and saying 'Well that's what they like!' just because they're in that situation is opening yourself up for looking like you stuck your foot in your mouth big time. My Dad's always been focussed on earning money...he was earning a stupidly high wage for a while and we had a VERY nice lifestyle. Was Mum happy? No! She was about as unhappy as she's ever been in her entire life. She didn't marry my father because she wanted his money, she loved his personality...she liked his style. A lot of that gave way to that money-earning after a few years, especially after us kids came into the world; now you'd think having the children you always wanted and enough income from one person to support the family and then some would make any woman happy under this theory that all women want money. Pity that goes out the window with the note that she was nearly suicidal. She's stuck at home with three kids, no freedom because the money is not HERS. She's lived with that all her married life...only in the last year has she actually been HAPPY...she's got a full-time job as a personal trainer now and seems to have never felt better :)

Do all women want money? No.

What women REALLY want...

...is to feel loved.
