Not marry yet that should answer the question. I have had a few that wanted to marry me or should I say buy or own me, the answer was no. It did not feel right, and I wanted someone that would really be there for me. I wanted to really be there for them too. I wanted more communication, now don't go saying it is that communications thing again. I just wanted more then one subject to talk about. Okay stocks is fine to talk about, but honey there is more to life then stocks. I wanted them to listen to what I had to say also on life, like some of my interests. I did not want to be something for them to dress and to take me out of a box when they wanted and put back in when they were through until next time. I know the social graces, but there is so much more. Buying a person things is not what a relationship is about, there is so much more. I just want a someone that can be there through the good and the bad time, also for the not so important things.
Well, when I was teaching scuba in Malaysia, I had a Swedish lady "friend" who stayed an extra week because she tried to get me to give up teaching diving in Malaysia, and come with her to Taiwan to teach English.
She was the Vice President of a Swedish bank based in Taipei.
.. and I said no. I wasnt going to be some tall, blonde, long legged Swedish woman's plaything ...
Unforunately my friend, the pendulum doesn't swing both ways in America as such. You know how long it took me to stop thinking that kind of action would happen to a guy like myself? I got over it and said "Screw it, be a man and seek out your equal". It would be kind of nice to be a trophy for once... Just to experience it.
i am not likely to marry someone for his money. Today, women have so much opportunity, I don't believe that many are truely gold diggers. I am able to support myself and would consider my income a really nice second income.
No, sorry, its not money that motivates me. There are so many more important things in life! Kindness, compassionate, intellect, generosity, being attentive, being a good friend, etc, etc. I would rather live in a shack with a good man than in a palace and all the trimmings with a guy who simply didn't care about those virtues in life. Dx.
Really?? Sure many ladies say they do not care about the money and blah blah.. but in two-income countries only teenagers would take that seriously ... women always think of the place to live, the cars, the insurances and all that stuff, so apart from the teenagers older women will always look into your pay-check before feeling settled
