It makes ME happy when guys refrain from making stupid generalisations. We aren't all after your money, y'know.


Ha! :lol:

To be fair, I wonder if things are different that way in Lebanon. When I lived in Guatemala I was surprised to see that girls did indeed list salary as being an important factor in a man's attractiveness.

alittle late, but....LMAO!! !!

like gwenevyn has stated, it's i guess a matter of bumping into the person who does make you so happy your toes wiggle. for me there isn't really any one thing either. for me, it's a whole package of quirks and how we interact with each other (and how tolerant he is of my very many 'quirks').

sorry, there's no secret formula (not from my experience anyway).

pay for a card or a gift when she gets sick

When poverty and economical challenges increase , girls tend to seek the easiest way of a source of wealth : a wealthy husband.
Most mothers here raise and encourage their daughters for getting a 'conformable' husband (=a husband who makes good cash)
It's even by tradition that the husband pay all wedding's cost and housing .
And when the groom meet the parents , the first common questions asked are : "what do you work? and how much income you make' :P

Daughters are not much better than their parents , I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many I heard girls stating that they seek a wealthy partner ....directly and indirectly .

I remember once when I heard a a girl talking to her girlfriend about my colleague : "oh he's handsome and cute ...*sigh* if only he doesn't come to university by taxi '

LOOOL

another incident at my workplace when a girl was talking me about her ex and how she lost it ....she said later "Oh he is rich ....rich! ...he is a CEO of a transportation company and he still young :( " (-->she was crying)


LOOOL


...and I heard countless of such things

Getting the wealthy husband has became a 'tradition' among the girls here ....success and money are both a must . Girls here (and even most girls in the world) prefer successful ...i mean let's face it , who like unsuccessful guys? eh? success means money and I think this natural preference exist in all cultures.

Maybe only some rich girls are the exception since they are fed up by wealth ...I know a very poor guy(but good-looking) who's dating one of the richest girls , she even bought him a car for his birthday...but this is the only once exception i witnessed so far .

Man, I don't envy that situation in any way.

I think there is a fair amount of women here that aren't specifically looking for money/success at least of the more creative... "different" types.

Plus going to school, most are putting themselves into a foolish amount of debt, maybe some will make tons of money... maybe they won't... you can't really tell yet. It's more of an even platform I think...

I'd start looking abroad if I was in your situation...just sucks for those unemployable hippy looking types like me...

I think this is a far better solution than being negative and cynical.

I have to agree.
I actually would not like the male to be buying me things etc. It really isn't as important as the simple things like going with me for a walk down to the water, or sitting talking late into the night, watching a DVD together, holding hands maybe...simple things.

But it has to have the chemistry there, which for me = soulmate etc etc, that is my beliefs there.

I would choose the man my heart felt drawn to over a multi millionaire and that is fact. Tho I am sure some aspies with more expensive obsessions might go for the money over heart :P

Negative and cynical doesn't get you much, unless you can use that nature to appear dark and dangerous or something...

My wife left one of her prior bfs,
because he was always trying to
buy her things. Made her really
uncomfortable.

I've done the same. If I get the sense that someone is trying to win me over with material things, I know the guy has absolutely no grasp on who I am, and so I leave.

Plus there's the whole "feeling like chattel" bit.
