If you are a man and don't want to date a materialistic woman, then why oh why do you wear clothes, the latest sneakers, fake shiny watches and other expensive looking items trying to impress women?
Why do men think that showing off money is going to attract worthwhile women who aren't gold diggers?

ALL WOMEN regard wealth and status as appealing, not just gold diggers. They view it as being able to provide support for them and their future children. It's actually a genetic concept. Just like how men go for what they think seems a fertile woman. Generally, that tends to be wider/motherly hips. Studies have shown that you tend to choose people who closely resemble your DNA as well. I don't know the truthfulness of that, but it seems logical. Now, I wear nice watches because they look nice on me. I like to look at my self in the mirror and be like "lookin good", before I walk out the door. I couldn't care less for the gold-digger lookin my way and sayin "that's a nice watch, better get in his pocket".

I think because men in our society are taught that they are worthless if they are not financially successful. So, when they get into the financial bracket where they can afford the Armani suit and Prada shoes, they like to show it off as an external indicator of their success. And if that attracts pretty women, why criticize these men? If they are doctors or attorneys, they put themselves through school and motivated themselves. They deserve to kick back in nice clothes and if a pretty woman comes along, why not? If he wants a gold digger, he will continue the relationship. If he is more intelligent than that, he will find someone he can really relate to.

Showing off your money demonstrates your social standing and your ability to support a woman and kids. The logic of natural selection goes that if you have the extra income or energy to have the finer things in life then you're a good supporter for the woman and her children.
Gold digging women take it further as they take all the money and then LEAVE YOU once they spent all the money. That's was never part of the original plan.

When I go out I'm usually well dressed and presentable because you never know whom you're going to run into. I don't explicitly dress to impress women unless I'm going on a date with one. I am not a materialistic person at all. I'm actually quite the opposite. I live a simple life. I detest materialistic women. I go for women that have a brain in their head and not silicone in their chest.

Men get those things just as much for themselves as they do for women, gold diggers or self sufficient women. What you have to do is stop flaunting them. A well put together women wants a well put together man. A gold digger not only encourages you to talk about your "stuff" but makes a big deal about where, when and how you got it.

the knee-jerk answer.....
They're not thinking at all. They're being shallow and their priorities are all outta whack. Worthwhile women should be glad that they advertise their flaws with their clothing and jewelry so that we know to avoid them when they come around.
The sarcastic answer.....
Or maybe they're being smart. If a woman's a gold-digger she'd be crazy to date a man who already spent all his money on himself! It could be their way of saying, "don't go out with me unless you want a guy who doesn't have two dimes to rub together, cos every penny I make is going to pay for my overpriced cell phone and this rediculous gold grill I have my eye on".
The real answer.....
These men are, in fact, gold-diggers. Think about it...they want fancy things for themselves, but they want a woman who has her own supply of money. They're hoping for a situation in which she pays the rent, buys the groceries and takes care of all the necessities, leaving him to spend his money on more jewelry to make him look like something he's not: a well-to-do man. When a woman expects HIM to pay some of the bills, he calls her a gold-digger and moves on to find himself another girl to mooch off of.

for these guys it's all about trophies. the more they have the better they feel, but when one of them doesn't go away afterwords they become "gold diggers" its just a term dumb guys that didn't really get to know there partner's well enough before they got involved with them. One night stand are fun but not if they last for 9 years

Just like why women wear revealing clothes and get mad when you look: they want to attract a SPECIFIC woman, but of course, in both cases, it really doesn't quite end up working out that way.

I don't despise gold diggers. I think that term is more like 'sour grapes' to the women I don't date.

I guess I was never impressed by men who had a lot of "stuff." The one man I dated who liked his "stuff" still calls me like 3 years after I got married and still lives with Mommy and Daddy. (He's turning 35 this month) and i broke up with him due to his living situation and the way his mom talked to me. (I didn't want her talking to my kids that way, and I figured a good way to ensure that was to make sure she wasn't their grandma)
