How important is money to women in a man? because i gotta say from my experience it mean not alot in terms of getting a women to bed.

But on the other hand there are men who get hot women it would seem by being rich.The problem i find is these women are hot but why do they get married to them?Why not just string them along then think im bored with this blond i think i want a brunette for a while the personalities the same(none just nice to look at and be seen with).

If i was a multi millionair or billionaire i would **** these women and send them back to the dirt when i was finished with them.But like i was saying for the vast majority of women i really dont think they look for money at all thoughts?

Not important at all, to me.
In my relationship, I have the money- what money there is. It's my family we call in an emergency. My husband's the best of a bad lot; his father was actually sleeping on our couch for a few months until we kicked him out because he wouldn't look for a job, and then he went to the Salvation Army.
My husband makes more than I do; but not much. Like, a dollar more an hour. It's insignificant. I used to make a lot more than him. When that was the situation, I never held it over his head; he doesn't hold it over my head now.
I don't need a lot of material things to be happy.
I'm sort of your quintessential "bright underachiever", I guess; I have a fairly laissez-faire approach to life in general. I would not be happy, I don't think, with some driven, ambitious, materialistic husband. He would probably just annoy me. He would no doubt be annoyed by me.
A good book, a blanket, a cat, and a glass of iced tea make me happy.
And all these things are virtually free. Contentment is free.
And good conversation can't be bought for any price. My husband is a priceless gem.

I don't think you can generalize this issue. For some women, money is important. For others, it's not. I don't think wanting a man with money makes a woman a bad person. Maybe she grew up poor and hated it. Maybe she grew up with a parent who was financially irrepsonsible, and she's looking for security.

For me, I wanted a man who was responsible with money. I have no tolerance for people who spend money they don't have (rack up credit card debt) on items that are not necessary or who spend recklessly and don't save for the future. Lucky for me, money is not an issue with my husband and me, as we both have the same philosophy.

Women are the nest builders, money is a resource, therefore it is important in modern society.

I admire ambition and I like fine things. I'm not overly materialistic but enjoy the freedom of not living month to month in some survival mode. My husband and I didn't start out with much but we've built up to the point where we are and we continue to build, dream, and plan for more. I wanted to go places, see things, and play in ways that you just can't without money. I'm not a gold digger by any means and I wouldn't leave my man if he suddenly went broke. But if he lost his ambition and drive and "settled" for less I'd be disappointed. Poor people often have less freedom, they have to work twice as hard, and they're stuck in the rat race. Our goal is to leave the rat race behind. Make enough money that the money starts making money for you and you have to work less and less as time rolls on. Once you get to the point where your money is working for you instead of you working for your money then you've exited the rat race. I'm a big believer in investing.

So no I'm not a gold digger. But on the other hand if I suddenly became single tomorrow and met a man my age who looked like Brad Pitt but worked at pizza hut I'd pass. Not 'cause he's broke but because he has no drive.

Yes, that's about it. Some men think it is prostitution for a woman to favour a richer man than a poorer one, but really it is just an instinct that the richer one may provide better for a family. However, it's not as simple as that, since very rich men are seen as being unreliable and likely not to be faithful so that turns many women off them.

Money shouldn't come into it. You love someone for who they are - not their bank balance.

What do you think a man loves a woman for?

1069

We don't have to wonder any longer.
It's because "you're little and soft and sweet."
"Oh yeah? Why else?"
"Because I've known you so long."
"Why else?"
"Uh. I don't know."
"So you'd love anyone who was little and soft and sweet, as long as you'd known them a long time?"
*blank stare*
"No, seriously. There's no particular reason why you love me as an individual?"
*more blank stare. puts on computer headphones and resumes video game*

So.

1069, I think that loosely translates into "because you can put up with my ****"
