I really mean it. I've seen women that are rich marry a super rich man and expect the man to lavish and pay for their $500K weddings and they look and act so greedy.
I feel if a woman who is poor or middle class truly loved a guy that made bank, she would not want to drain his account but be concerned about him and his financial secruity. If a woman loves a man I believe love would matter not a Cartier rock that blinds you. It's not in my heart to cheat or scam like the other girls do, but maybe that's kind of what the guy likes a woman that will take him for every penny.
YOUR THOUGHTS?

Yes, Reba I went out with 2 different guys who asked me out, and didn't want to pay for my $1 coffee, and they thought I was a golddigger.

It's the nasty gold diggers that ruined it for everyone else. I think there is a misconception that if you did not grow up with money you will go crazy once you get a taste of what a lot of money can do for you. Or you will do anyhing to get money, that maybe true for some people.
I don't necessarily think that is true for all. There are some honest nice girls/guys out there that won't take you for every cent you have unfortunatly it's the nasty/crazy ones that we hear about all the time!

I think people travel in social circles with others who are like them...so poor people tend to have poor friends, while wealthy people tend to know other people who are also wealthy...if every social event you attend is attended by others like you, how are you going to meet this poor woman to rescue? And, believe me, women who weren't raised wealthy, but married into money are the absolute WORST! My mother and I do some catering as a side business, and I can always tell the women who married into the money as opposed to those who were born into it...the marriers I have met have all been very condescending and rude without exception. This is not to say there aren't nice ones out there somewhere, they just never crossed my path...the women who were born into wealth have nothing to prove, and tend to be much more gracious, IMO....Also, if a guy earns or has millions, he truly won't care about spending that kind of money on a wedding, because this is the type of affair that would be expected in his social circle.

I have experience with this the other way around. I'm from the wealthy family (not super rich, but they get by more than nicely) and my partner is from the lowerclass family. Fortunately he does not controll any of my accounts because he is bad with money. What really annoys me is his attitude of "why don't you just go buy this, you have the money". He also expects me to always pay and doesn't consider how I got that money or what might happen in the future for us if I didn't have it.
I know he truely loves me, but I think the way he was brought up, not knowing how to handle money and make it work for him, has put him in a position with me that seems like he is greedy and draining, but rather it is just what he would do as he doesn't know better.

I am from a lower-working class background...sloowly working my way up though... My fiance would consider himself middle class. I feel like a person who was from an upper class background wouldn't appreciate the challenges that I've faced, and while I work very hard, and have made great achievements academically and professionally, I think that that individual's family would never get past my social-economic status. I wouldn't consider myself consumer driven, and I don't place a high priority on somebody's income or if their family has money. I have always just always wanted to be with a guy that values hard work and an honest day's work...just like my man.

I think there are rich men who would marry a poor woman if she was right for him. I just agree that the options to meet her are probably slimmer because of the social circle thing. Not all rich men or women are awful and I think there probably are a lot of matches that prove that.

I agree with the answerer who said people like to travel in the same social circles. But yes, the golddiggers ruin it for everybody.
