Are guys put off by girls who have more money than them (family money/higher salary), as guys are generally insecure about the size of their wallet???

i am not intimidated by money, it is more important that i love the person i am with and enjoy her company than her financial line.
it sounds like you already have a conclusion if you say 'guys are generally insecure about the size of their wallet???'

Depends a lot on how the guy perceives it , if there is a hot girl at work place , who i just want to sleep with then I wont care , although I might have to buy her ice to impress her initially , but the chivilourous or serious kinds do mind if they start to think in long term/ or only date long term stuff ( which is very rare). The world in general is also changing . but if thier is a lolita in my office who never works but just looks like a model , then I would not go out with her coz we would anyways have differences of life style....( hot girls but no brainer ) these are only slept around with. I normally cant stand the daddy's girl with no persona ...they are fake and only because of thier parents money

As a general rule we feel undermined if the woman makes more money. However it boils down to how the guy was brought up. In my personal experience- my mom's money was her's and she spent it and she saw fit. My dad's earnings were the household's. At the same time- if a guy is confident and secure in what he brings into the relationship- money wherever it comes from- will be not be of such importance.

I can answer this question from my own experience. With me, It doesn't matter how much money the woman have. My time spent with a woman with money was nice. I was happy with what I had and or brought into the relationship. I took nothing from the relationship. however the lady wanted to do things for me, to which I refuse. because I was capable of doing these things myself. sure, her money would have made things much easier for me, but she was understanding with my decision and our relationship was fine. we are no longer together because her job transferred her almost cross country. our lives have taken turns for the better and we still talk through email from time to time and I am in another relationship. bottom line is that I had and have a lot of respect for this lady. Some men are greedy and will take advantage of a given situation such as meeting a woman with money.

That's not the case! You need to realize men and women want to feel like they contribute in one way or another.l personally had an experience where a girl made about 35k more than I did.Every time we would go out on a date, that I would pay for she would give back the money,of coarse I would say no.The straw that broke the camels back, was I took her out for her b-day.We went to a concert,dinner,lots of drinks, and at the end of the night,we got a hotel.We had a wonderful night,and in the morning ,went to breakfast and kissed goodbye.I was in heaven as I pulled out of the gas station I noticed my ash tray had money in it.....Damn near $800,....every penny I spent that night,even the gas money,and t-shirts,food...everything.I felt like she thought I was some poor white trash and she was doing me some kind of favor.The problem was I did it because I wanted to.Not because I had to.That girl is one of the best looking girls I have ever dated.I didn't want to see her again after that.You can make more money,but don't flaunt it.Don't rub it in there nose.

Personally, that would be a put off. I would go out with a girl just like me - on the same level, with a family who doesnt have lots of money, or a big house. I'd feel more comfortable that way, and always have. If i wer to go out with someone who was upper-class, id feel like i wasnt good enough, and its probz the truth

I would say it depends on the guy. the shallow ones yes they most likely wouldnt want their girlfriend to have a bigger wallet then them. But there are many of us out there that dont care about the size of your wallet whether it is bigger or smaller than ours. We only care about you not your material items or how succesful you are...ok we care that your successful but not in the way that it would be a turn off.

As long as a woman doesnt ask a man to take her to an extremely fancy resto which he cant afford, but instead go on with the flow he is tending to be in... I am sure no man would ever mind going out with a rich woman, sometimes you have to be understanding. A man always wants to pay the bill.... its kinda part of his manhood.. no double-standard talk, just something i feel...

I would have NO problem with that. Whether she shared with me or not. Money is nice to have. Too much of it and too much worrying about it just interferes with life though. Take out $40 a day and buy what you need. Invest the rest I think.

that is a good question really. I guess it all depends on the guy. My ex was of an average family average job average salary ect. but i'm kind of on the more wealthy side. It didnt matter to him. But i think it all depends on how you act. If your not like hey look at me i have more cash than you then i dont think guys are going to flock. It all depends on how you look at it.
