Testosteronized question (men only)

Post Reply New Topic

What are you thoughts about dating a overly rich girl while you're not? Any experience?

Some.

It can work well, if you're not stuck up and can actually have a good conversation - are actually fun to be with.

If she's got money, and is used to it, and is open-minded, then it won't matter - provided you do your best to pay your way.

I had a short-lived one experience and it was extremely awkward, well not awkward just for her wealth but it didn't make things better when she was like offering me...a house.

And there's a potential one who turned out to be very loaded; I am totally hesitating.

It might not go the same way, you never know.

A house? Don't you mean a kennel?

You are an interesting one. Tell me more

No experience, but I'd be very hesitant. People with lots of money often have very high standards for their children, even adult children. I wouldn't want to date or marry a woman whose parents constantly look down on me.

Would you feel differently if her parents weren't well off? If she were a "self made woman"?

Let's say I thought she was an employee or a waitress in a fairly big resto but turned out to be the owner - having seasonal cars, a "car for winter" and a "summer car". I s**t bricks by this finding.

Why?

Is it another clan thing?

I don't know, since I've never been in that situation.

I probably wouldn't care. I'm not a person incredibly interested in money to begin with.

ha,that's my fantasy.

It shouldn't be a negative factor just being a fact. Not unless someone brings money into it somehow. But I am assuming it from the standpoint of having a job. The parents take on things might be interesting, but usually wouldn't come into play until things got serious.

If that somehow happened to me, I'd sort of try to earn the money.

This kind of thing can happen to creative people like painters. Their spouse is their patron. If a rich woman spends money on a previously low income husband who in turn creates great Artworks or Inventions, in a way that brings a kind of prestige to the couple. The husband, while supported, could create a different kind of wealth or value that is hard to measure in bank balance sheets.

Oh, I am so bummed that Wrong Planet is acting up and won't let me post videos from YouTube right now. Anyhow, I say there is nothing wrong with it, Face of Boo, as long as you do it with panache, like David Lee Roth in "Just a Gigolo."

Never had that experience. In my city that is highly rare to happen. Most women here who are young (a rich) rely most on what their parents say more than anything else--and barely have minds of their own. They don't date bums. Same goes for mature women who don't want toe "take care" of a man. But they have minds of their own. But by this mature age, the woman most likely been through all the BS. So her standards will be high.
If it does happen that I stumble and date one. I would look for characteristics such as humility and her knowing the value of money despite having quantities of it.

No experience but my opinion is that money isn't that important. I'm on disability & even when I was working I didn't have alot of money & not having much doesn't bother me because I'm not interested in expensive stuff or doing things that cost a lot of money. The girl would have to accept that I wasn't into that kind of stuff & wouldn't expect me to pay when we did more expensive stuff like eating at an expensive restaurant. I would despise her & run if she had the Avril Lavigne attitude from "Best Damn Thing" "I hate it when a guy doesn't get the door, Even though I told him yesterday and the day before, I hate it when a guy doesn't get the tab, And I have to pull my money out, and that looks bad"
