Great Moments in WP Love & Dating History

Why the hell are you encouraging him?

Blueroses: Ever since I said I liked the idea of dating a wealthy man, Face of Boo never has anything nice to say to me. He has a real thing against me, all because I said that. Because attraction to looks isn't shallow at all, right? There is nothing wrong with finding wealth attractive. It is shallow, but so is attraction in general!

Hey now, let's not gang up on Smudge, guys. Everyone's allowed to like whatever qualities they like.

But your confession was a great D&L moment, smudge :p

Attraction to wealth is extremely shallow, much more than attraction to a type of personality (for example) or to intelligence or even to certain physical looks.

Man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills.

If someone is attracted to wealth then so be it. I'd actually praise smudge for being upfront about it despite the negative backlash that comes with admitting such things. I'd say some women who are attracted to wealth don't know it, and some others won't admit it, why take it against her?

Please clarify. Are people not allowed to say that attraction to wealth is extremely shallow compared to other sorts of attraction?

Smudge is just being honest.I don't get it ,but won't judge her because of it.I don't care about wealth, but it will make your life easier.I would rather have a poor man that makes me laugh over wealth,but that is just me.

Me too, but it seems the difference is my honesty is forbidden here.

You can think that if you wish, but I don't think you should pass judgement on her because of it. Being attracted to wealth does not necessarily mean chasing strictly rich guys or treating less-rich guys badly, so far it is just an statement. Also, why more shallow than being attracted to, let's say, beauty?

Are you sure of that? I recall she said she only befriends wealthy people too. hmm.

I am jerk and I am being honest about it

You are reading something into my post that isn't there. You are making a judgement against me now.

Wealth= power,maybe she is attracted to the power.

I have to back MCalavera on this one. Beauty and wealth can both be transient qualities, but wealth seems to be a step removed from physical attraction itself. I can see being attracted to the trappings of wealth (prettier wrapping paper, so to speak), or maybe even to the qualities that brought wealth to the individual (smarts or work ethic, etc). To pick out wealth specifically as a main quality to orient on seems shallow to me.

@MCalavera If you were not passing judgement about smudge shallowness then sorry about that.

And Boo, I's assume being attracted to wealth would include it's trappings and possible associated qualities. I don't know, really, it doesn't attract me personally anyway. But I've no coded every time someone admits to such a thing all guys jump to that woman's throat, and I don't think that's right. And for the record I'm not stating any of you guys has done that yet, but it is very common behaviour

I never said that. Stirring things up are we?

And MjrMajorMajor? F*ck you. It does take courage to admit being attracted to something like wealth, and for the record, it doesn't f*cking mean that's ALL I go for, or that it's the minimum criteria. I would expect better reasoning from someone like you.

How comes nobody jumps on those whose criteria is absolutely NO fat girls, or NO ugly girls? I can't imagine anything more shallow. There's plenty of fat-bashing on here and frankly, I think it's sickening. My preference isn't ONLY for wealthy men, it's just something else that's attractive, like beauty. It doesn't mean I won't date poor men - you've all immediately jumped to that conclusion and have made a huge error of judgement on me.

It's all too easy for you all to jump down my throat and assume the worst.

As for power - lots of women are attracted to that, as they are to wealth. I'm pretty sure people like MjrMajorMajor are into it but they haven't got the f*cking guts like me to admit it.

And Shatbat - you weren't making a judgement against MCalavera, he was making a judgement against me and you simply said that it wasn't worth judging me. Thank you for standing up for me.
