zeelanderer: you don't need money to treat a woman like crap.... just a dresser drawer full of wifebeaters....

Of course now, to answer the question, I'd prefer a guy to be making either the same as I make or more than I make. In no way do I want him to feel inferior if he makes less than I do.

And I've actually been in that situation....sort of. Divorced the guy who made a decent living and ended up with a boyfriend who couldn't even help me with the rent, but he was relatively good at being affectionate. I ended up feeling like I was being taken advantage of & didn't really like the feeling.

In response to: Please be honest when answering....if you had a choice between a man who had money but wasn't good at relationships vs A man of lesser means who was really good to his woman which would man would you chose and why?


I would choose the poor man because being happy with less is still being richer in the long wrong than being showered with material goods and not love. Life is too short and we will be remembered by those we love really not by the material possessions we had unless we give them away.

generally speaking, the lesser means. but to be perfectly honest... depends how much lesser we're talking about. i need someone who can carry his own weight. i'm not at a place in my life where supporting someone else is even reasonable really, let alone something i'd want to do. but then again, i make enough to get by, and i'm happy with enough to get by. no need to feel rich right now.

romanticman4u: What if the rich man was good to his woman but just wasn't good at being romantic or spending the same quality time the porer fella was giving his lady?



I don't think that most women really care about his income. What matters to us, I believe, is who he is. If he loves his woman and treats her with respect and caring that's all that matters. And everyones idea of romantic differs. What I find romantic isn't what the next woman would.

Who he is and how he treats us and others, that's whats most important.

lusciousmile: I will speak for myself and say, financial security, is important to me. I am trying to make something of my life, so i don't struggle in future. I intend to find someone who would want to start a family, so yes, being broke ( for reasons other than disability), and not making necessary steps/ improvements to make ends meet, is not for me.I want to be successful myself, so i would expect to settle down with a person who thinks like i do. Women who have already raised their kids, would think differently, but thats because we are at different stages in life.What would happen, if i myself, decided to quit school, and start having kids, with a 'nice' guy who didn't think having a job was important? We would be doomed!
Simple, really!
I never said the man didn't have a job , he just wasn't rich, he could be a man that just has an average job with average pay.

romanticman4u: sOMMER thats what makes this so interesting its the perspective all different from one another because not one of you has a complete story, really the answer I am after is, is money important to a woman in a relationship or does a woman find having a good loving man more important. I guess if you wanted answers of if he was employed then lets say the man makes 25,000 a year and has dental and health insurance


But, there can be money and a great relationship combined...

So I cannot answer, because there is no answer for me.

Money, I need, so I go and make my own, because I have children to support, that is my responsibility.

I am in a relationship and we are both solvent, would I be with him, if he was hugely in debt and had not two pennies to rub together? No, I would not have been attracted to him, because I need and want a person who is financially responsible, has some ethics and morals around paying his bills on time.

I would not be attracted to a person who had masses of debt, I would become frustrated, irritated. I know I would.

That is not to say that I am driven by somebody else's money, I am driven by the fact that I have a home, two, in fact, that I need to keep those up and that I have children to support, that is what drives me. Somebody, who had no financial morals would be a drain on me emotionally.

However, a person that does earn an income and is responsible with it, however much that income is, would attract me, along with the usual things...

Choosing between the two is hard, because you are asking me, a question that I cannot answer directly, only indirectly.

I personally would rather have a man who treats me the way I long to be treated, the way I know I deserve that I have yet to be treated for I would treat him OOOHHHH so good in return. I've dated men with and without money that both were assh**** so... really you can't go by whether or not they have money. All I know is that it is really hard to find someone REAL and LOVING and not fake or hidden personalities
