I have been lucky enough, and I stress 'lucky' (right place at the right time) to make a great living in the entertainment industry. Since getting my true 'big break' it has been impossible to find that special someone. It really seems that women only care about how much I make, what celebs am I friends with, what kind of car do I have, how big is my house etc... I also own multiple companies in the industry and sooo many women have used me to try to become an actress, model, singer, writer, designer etc... as these companies deal with all this. How am I supposed to know if someone actually likes me for me? Is this what I get being in this industry; Since I got extremely lucky with what I do that I am doomed when it comes to love? I even get crap for having a crappy pic of myself on my profile! I don't come online looking for love, so why do I need my best pic? Do I come off as super ugly in the pic (on my 360 page, link on this profile). I just want to share it all with someone.

Are women really like this? How do I truly know if someone does like me for the person that I am and not what I do or who I know? Even girls that I grew up with are different, girls who were just great friends now want relationships etc... Is love REALLY all about material items?

I can't hide what I've done in the industry, I have tried lol. It's very easy to find info on me and the other names I use on projects. Good idea though, but alas it doesn't work.

You should try to date undercover!
Meaning, don't give them all that information when out with a woman. Just tell her what you do (technical term for it) so she doesn't know just how involved you are with it.
Don't do the super fancy restaurants and the flashy extras. Just take her out somewhere decent and talk.
If she likes you for you, she will want another date no questions asked. Keep dating until you are sure she like you for you, not your money or status.
And when the time is right, tell her further about your job and what you do.
But you should NEVER tell a woman how much you make unless you are serious about her. That's personal information that should not just be thrown around.
Hope this helped and hope all goes well for you! ♥

You just haven't met the right person yet. A lot of people are all about the money. I mean one of my close friends couldn't believe I was marrying my husband. At the time he didn't even have is degree yet and was working for less money than I make. I didn't care about all that. I loved him then and I love him now. I know it is hard just hang in there and hopefully you will find someone special.

I'm sorry that you are in this situation. It sucks, to say the least.
There are people out there who will only want you because of that, and because others want you. And I promise you that most of those people are like that.
I don't know how I would tell the difference. However, I can tell you that there are good women out there, a lot of them, and if you keep trying you'll find one. Love is important, not material things, and you'll find some girl that agrees.
Good luck. =]

sounds as though you've come across some shallow females. love isn't based on material things. it's how well you get along together, if you have anything in common. if you had just the basics in your life, how many of them would still be there? it is hard to tell who loves/likes you for who you are inside. you're a book,they just like the cover. some women will glance at that but then move on to read inside, that's where they should want to be. the inside IS where it does count the most

No! all women are not like that...but how do they know about your assets??? You will know which are sincere and which are not..the truth will come out...u just have to be able to pick them out by your own morals....what u want in a woman....take yourself back to when u didn't have the entertainment and work from there...the real will step up if they are there and the fake will try to cover up with a piece of "fur" ...if you get my drift.

I dont make alot of money but when I did go out when I was single
most women wanted to know where I worked and how much I made...I even had one ask me if I made enough to take care of her...I told my daughter when she gets older if she ever met someone that was famous or what not...they are human to...
they enjoy someone having a drink with and just treat them like the avg person...Good luck to you...

Most women are gold diggers, but not all
take me for example i want a guy who can take care of himself and me, he doesnt have to be rich just one who has goals and loves me very much, i would like to go to in&out better than some expensive restuarant because we can be ourselves and no primped up and pretending to be sophisticated

Not all women are like that, just the money hungry, want something for nothing ones. Don't tell them what you really do until you have had a few dates with them. That's what I do. Just say you are in " public relations."

I am not like that-- but then I wouldn't want you. You are too vain and egotistical.
But to answer your question-- if you want to find out-- give everything you own to charity and see how people treat you then. If the same then it is your personality that is at fault.

we want someone who we can brag about to our friends and family. i would love to be in a relationship with a guy who has things like that going for himself. and i have fantasies about having that cool lifestyle, too. so when you say you have this and that, it seems like o yes i would like to try a relationship, not for what i can get out of it, but to share the joy with you. dont you need someone to share your successes with you?
