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