Well, myself personally, I judge based on personality, chemistry, and compatibility. I know some women go for men with money, and I think that's because money is the "man-equivalent" of beauty in the dating world. You ever notice that rich men (however unattractive they may be) will get anyone they want, and attractive women (no matter how poor they may be) will get whatever they want? They also tend to pair up together (think Donald and Melania Trump). Some women (usually one's who've been burned in the past) have given up on all men and think they're all just jerks who can be juiced for what they're worth. Those are usually the girls that'll use a guy for money. As for me, I'll say that money does not matter... to an extent. I've done the whole "I'm dating a guy who's not in school, has no job, his car just got repossessed, and I'm having to buy his groceries for him every week".... I must say... that's not the type of guy I prefer to be with. Even if he's a good guy, you don't want to be with a guy that's going to bring you down. Nobody wants their boyfriend to be a liability. As long as a guy has a job and can be personally responsible and self-sufficient -- that's good enough for most women. Women value ambition. For some reason... it's just sexy when a man can go after his goals and achieve them -- that may also be a reason women are attracted to men with money. A guy who is born rich and doesn't work for what he has is NOT sexy to me whatsoever. It's rarely as simple as choosing between "LOVE" or "MONEY"... but If it were... I think most women would choose love.

I have never dated a monetarily rich man, and I don't seek these men out. I've associated with several, and I usually find that they are of the pretentious, arrogant and insecure breed. My exes have all been the "drifter", lost artist types, and I still have a soft place in my heart for these types of men. I work FT in an office setting, but I don't care as long as the guy doesn't, but unfortunately that starts to change if and when he begins to feel and express resentment. I am an artist and that's why I feel connected to other creatives, but money comes and goes. Why do guys weigh so much emphasis on money vs. love? Worrying about money problems doesn't help the matters. I'm still reading "The Secret" ... in the end it is about the emotional experience.

yes thats so true. so women would marry or go out with some guy just for their money. Love is definitely more important because money cant buy you happiness thats a fact. Love is important because everyone needs that one special person to complete their other half and money in a relationship isnt that important as long as they love each other they'll make it through everything.

They tend to. But if that is all they really care about (every woman who has ever had any relationship to Donald Trump for example) they are not worth having regardless of their looks. People can lose their money and most of us DO lose our looks. What is inside however, is enduring. But...while it is absolutely true that money can not guarantee happiness, in America the lack of money will guarantee UNHAPPINESS. That is an economic fact of life and most women still rely on a man to bring in most (at least) of the income and if he can't it understandably will cause a smart woman to think many times over about getting involved with him.

well the thing is will money buy happiness? whats the use to have tons of money and the girl loves u for yr money only.
as for me i don't bother he got tons of money or he is the middle age earning salary or he is broke, i don't mind him not to have much cash, at least when we get married i do hope that he can give me shelter and 3 square meals a day and love me as who i am.
the fact is both are important, depend on how u look at the situation, if i wants money more the love, i will not last with the guy, if i prefer love more that money, i am will stay with him though thick and thin.
money we will earn back in-time, why go for money not love? cause i know money wont buy me happiness .

I would have to say its about even. It depends on the way you were raised, if you were a spoiled brat, or if you had to make a loaf of bread last 2 weeks. My brother is the smartest person I know when it comes to money, but I on the other hand, am not that good. I was the youngest, only girl, and got everything I wanted. His story was a little different. Plus I am the only grandaughter, so I was spoiled from all ends.

it depends...
there are women who will choose money instead of love,being practical.
but
there are also women who will choose love.
Me? I'll definitely choose LOVE! I dont want to be with someone because of money....for that I will never be happy in my life, unless I learn to love him.
I dont care about if I have more than Him but He have to have a job and he is trying to earn.

It really depends on the person. I mean there definitely are 'gold-diggers', but most of the people I know aren't like that. Personality counts much more than money.

If you must know, I care more about love than money. Money it comes and go, you can spend it carelessly but love doesn't come so very often and once you spend it carelessly there's a chance that it will be forever lost.
