Would you still want me ? (99)
Mercedes1: Well Im sure their arent many big money spinners on CS or any other site for that matter!
I dont agree that your not getting much mail nor flowers because of you choosing the way you want to live!
Actually the way youve chosen to live sounds just as romantic as an island on the Caribbean anyways

azsizs: Im shallow
Me too!
That's probably because I have seen poverty and don't want to go back to it. I am 26, and I don't have mature children fending for themselves. I want to start a family, someday, with a man who will help with the bills.
No, I am not attracted to poverty! I try to be realistic!

At least you´re honest. I too would not want to live in extreme poverty. I´m not a wealthy woman, but I survive and have a reasonable standard of living. I accept it because I chose to give up a much more well paid career in the UK to travel and teach, and I´m happy.
If I were to meet somebody he would not need to be wealthy by any means, but he could not rely on me to pay the bills for two people!

I'm a little confused.
When people are not attracted to others who have chosen to have nothing material in their lives, how does that make them shallow.
What if we all lived like this, who would pay your bills?
If your children were still very young, would you still think that giving away everything you owned, was the best choice? Should we all live on welfare?
This is not a question directed to Paws, just those who think money is unimportant.

Choosing life style, is one thing.
To be forced to live one is another. None here would want to be forced into one they do not like if they have the option of choosing, would they?
Real poverty - no people thrive in it and all of them wants out of it. To the extent that they dare dangerous waters in small wooden boats, even though they know hundreds gets lost at sea all the time. What drives them is the chance of getting a job where they can send a 10 Euro bill home a day, more than they would maybe make in a year back home.
And that is the sad truth

If a man expected me to pay for all the bills, he would be out the door. It is selfish to expect people to take care of your finances, not because you are incapable of providing for yourself, but because you choose not to be responsible.

I don't know one person who is happy to live in abject poverty. It is easier for people to shout 'shallow', than to quit their own jobs for this selfless cause of being against material things.

You're only shallow if that's all you want is money...and could care less who the man is you get it from...those are usually the ones who expect to be taken care of and marry not for love but money alone...it doesn't have anything to do with be attracted to someone who may not have a job or someone who does...any healthy relationship/marriage should have both as contributors to the household unless they decide different together...

That excludes her then... we have seen enough of luscious in here to know that no one is really good enough, and that has nothing to do with a wallet or shiny gadgets
I actually think you are thinking a bit along the same lines but are expressing it differently.
I believe one is thinking "not even water poverty" while the other is thinking broken clothes, "boring food poverty".
There would be a difference.

Yes there is a difference...nobody would choose to live in poverty for sure...If someone doesn't or cant hold a job...unless it's because of medical circumstances or some other circumstance that has rendered unable to work...then they have more problems than just money....

lusciousmile: Someday, when I am pregnant, I will not expect that we live on welfare, or the portion I get for my maternity leave, because my man wants to sit at home all day. No bloody way!
I do not think any parent would want such a situation and still a few feel they need to accept what they get.
Better to be hard headed then and wait it out

I am happy and content. I do wonder at times, how many more mails and flowers I would get if I owned an island in the Caribbean ?
It is sad that love so often equates to the type of car, house and bank account that one has.
