somechick: Why do some men who've been taken advantage of in their past relationship(s) have this idea that every woman they meet is only out to get their hands on their money?
I've got my own business and my own money and sure don't need a man solely for his money.Doesn't love or shouldn't it enter in there somewhere?

It's just unfair to paint every woman with the very same brush.

Just like NOT ALL men are bad , well NOT ALL of us women are bad either.


Generalising seems to be the name of the game here doesn´t it. However, given that many men here are probably divorced, and may well have lost a home and other assets in a divorce settlement, particularly if children were involved, it´s hardly surprising really.

That´s not to say I think they have all been "taken to the cleaners" as some like to suggest, and there are women who have also emerged from a divorce much poorer financially than their ex husbands, myself included. Initially I tried in vain to fight for what I felt I was entitled to after a long marriage, but ended up even more out of pocket with the resulting legal fees. I´ve let it all go now, we are still friends in a sense surprisingly enough you may think, and I earn a good living here in Spain.

If those of us, either male or female are fortunate enough to have jobs then we are independent financially. I think these "gold digger" accusations are directed more at women who are carers in the home with young children or elderly relatives for example, and they of course are not being paid in the real sense for their work. Unfair I know, but that´s life.
