Most women don't believe that. You are hanging in the wrong crowd of girls.
However throughout history men have taken care of women financially. Mostly this is because it was near impossible to get a reasonable paying job or career. Even if she eked out a money making place in the world a man had to buy her land and tend to her business because she wasn't respected. Heck even prostitution was compromised with pimps.
Anyway, because of that long standing tradition many (but not most american ones). Feel that a man's job in the relationship is to provide.
It is unfair but at least you don't have to push a bowling ball sized person out of your crotch.
Hope this helped.

I don't think that "most" women believe that. You've had a bad experience, probably, with a materialistic woman (or women).
Maybe she didn't get much attention from her parents, and they tried to make up for it by buying her things to show their love in her formative years. Just a speculation.
Personally, I feel that money is security, but I don't get it confused with love. I grew up really poor, but I had such a loving family and great friends that I didn't really realize it until I was older. My dad struggled his whole life to put food on our table and keep a roof over our head. He always managed to make ends meet, somehow, and I lived my entire childhood and adolescent life in the same suburban three bedroom brick home.
Since I moved out of my parents' house, I have learned just how hard it is to make it on your own in this world. After a miserable, five year marriage, I found myself with no job, little college education, and two small children to support. I moved back in with my parents and returned to college part time.
I got a full time job as a bookkeeper and worked there for seven years, going to school part-time at night. The pay wasn't that great at first, so twice when I tried to move out on my own, I failed miserably and had to move back in with my parents in less than a year. I guess the third time is the charm because I've been out for three years this time. Why is that? Money. I finally earned enough money to support myself.
I learned through my experiences that only MY money spells security. Not yours or anyone else's. All I wanted or needed from other people was friendship, companionship, and love. Now my boyfriend tells me that I don't have to work. He'll take care of the bills, and I should go to school full time and get that degree I've been working on. While this may sound ideal, it is such a foreign concept to me that I don't know how to react.
Well, I guess I do. I'm enrolled full time for the first time since that one semester in 1992, and I'm not working. I guess it's time to learn to trust again.
I must admit, I still search everyday for part-time bookkeeping positions! Money=Security. Love is Love.

Its prehistoric. Evolution has taught men to go for women who can produce lots of children and spread his seed across the land. That's why we are pigs and go for what looks good. Evolution taught women to go for men with good hunter-gatherer skills so that seed can be provided for.
Its only civilization and clothing which makes us put on the veneer that it ain't true.
Course it ain't nice to generalize.

It has been my general experience that the opposite is true. That money is Security and the price of that is Love.
Perhaps we are talking semantics. Probably.

It's all to do with procreation.
Someone with money can better provide for your children and may also have better genes.

Because they need to be certain that their children will be taken care of.
