Why does it seem women date guys that can provide ( financially ) for them?

Answer 1

Because women love stability/security.

and then you have some women who are downright skanks who just use men for money

Answer 2

Since the beginning of time women have looked to men for security. While there might be singular exceptions to this rule it will always be the case that women will look to men for security and money. It is the way that women naturally take care of themselves and their families.

For the single male, I'd suggest targeting a prospective companion with a net worth roughly equivalent to your own. Net worth is the value of all your possessions minus any debts that you have. So for example if you own a home outright and a car and have no debt and you're worth say $850k, then only consider dating women in a similar financial standing. This levels the financial playing field between you and generally takes the money issue out of the equation.

Answer 3

It is our biological imperative to mate with men who will help us take care of our children. In this day and time that is primarily a financial responsibility. There is scientific evidence that heterosexual males are looking for females with body types that bear children well.

It may seem like an equal opportunity world if you're a guy but women still don't have the earning power that men do. So that is what we rely on them for.

I totally disagree with gabound that that makes us shallow. Our brains work differently from a man's. I wanted more than anything for my ex to appreciate what a great job I did managing the finances for my home. He wanted me to appreciate what a great lover he thought he was. Happiness was somewhere in between. Neither of us was wrong--just different. And it was unfortunate we couldn't find the happy medium.

Answer 4

Right now that does seem to be a popular "trend". But I don't think all women are like that. Some place more emphasis on the size of the man's "member". Some place more emphasis on whether or not if the man is religious and goes to church. Or how he treats his momma. Or if he has a job and is at least "going some place" (just don't want a deadbeat, the money doesn't matter). And some just want a man that will treat her right. So while that percentage does appear to be high, I find it hard to believe that most women are that shallow.

Answer 5

Not all women. But some women grew up with the notion of being taken care of in most respects. Searching for a man with great financial needs makes them more secure and thus makes it more natural.

Not all females are like this mind you. The ones who are, are hard to get a long with.

Answer 6

Maybe it's not that they can provide for them but it makes them feel more grounded. Some women may only want to date guys that can provide because they dont want to take chances! if you are not one of these stable guys at the moment i suggest you should date women that don't care, because you'll be more happier with them later on in life!

Hope i Helped

Answer 7

From time immemorial, it has been the Man's duty to work and earn for the family and the Woman's duty to maintain the household apart from bearing children.

This Division of Labour (or responsibilities) is still in our genes, however much we would want to change it. So a Woman looks at the Man as the life partner who is going to support her and the children and so lays emphasis on his Financial capacities/capabilities to provide for the family. This comes almost subconsciously.

Answer 8

Not all women pick a man with money. My boyfriend is not exactly rich. When i met him he had a broken ankle, so he was out of work, and had no money. He had to barrow money so he could take me out on a date. And that didn't bother me at all. I have been with him for two years now and we live together. We both make about the same amount and are struggling to pay bills. But it doesn't matter because we love to be together. I love him more than anything, and money is not an issue.

Answer 9

Interesting question..

Don't you think you live in competitive world.

It's all just about competition,
Getting girl or woman, thus a competition,
and money wins the competition.
Believe it or not, you can get, less attractive woman, with less "money"

Don't you think attractive woman doesn't have many man who chase her? with 500 man chasing the same woman, who will win? the guy with enough funds!
-so if you see attractive woman on anywhere, and try to guess how many guys has tried to date her, set the minimum guess to 1000 heads

It's cynical world, money is design with some flaws.

Of course there's some tiny exception for very little amount of cases

Answer 10

Does this question even need answering? Everyone likes to feel safe a secure. LIfe is that much better when you feel financially secure. But dont be fooled, some women marry for love knowing that they infact may have to be the bread winners. Men like to feel secure too!

Answer 11

The human animal. Females instinctively look for a male that can "protect" herself and any children.

In modern times, "protect" is financial security.

Also, on a more superficial note "women" (stereotypically) like to be pampered and gifted, so whomever can to that more, they go for. But this goes both ways...
