DonQuay: Yep. Sorry ... I forgot to answer that one in advance! It's the usual doggeral that is used against the argument I just put up!
It appears that some men think that most women are gold diggers and use that same old comment about how they have there own income when in truth their eyes light up when they find out the guy has money, his own home and care.
Labeling coming from either gender is getting old.
However for me, love is a recipe. It is all about how the various elements are combined and let simmer or cook with passion, humor, smarts, and truth, that makes for the success.
Oh, Jean, it seems we differ only in the ingredients I am actually a cook and I know that you need only very few ingredients to make a recipe successful.
Bauksi: You have touched a sore spot, Don. Probably women are saying: I want an honest, sincere, gracious etc. etc. man but secretly she thinks: I want a man with a big pocket, car, house, luxury etc. etc. We will never know, Don... That's the enduring mystery of women.
There are plenty of men out there that have cash, nice car, house and a life of luxury, that are so bereft of good character, so cold and selfish and want only a trophy wife or girlfriend, and have nothing to give but the cold hard cash of their lives. It is a very unhappy life, and I think most woman do not want that.
Successful men - might be workaholics that care more about work then, their home and love.
It is what the man does with his resources that makes the attraction to a woman. If a man is outwardly successful, then a woman might be lead to believe that he is inwardly successful, too.
However, one has nothing to do with the other.
Although if I was stuck in an unhappy relationship, it would be better to be in luxury than without.
However, if I had my own resources, why would I be interested in staying in an unhappy situation? I wouldn't.

money, power and success make a guy attractive to women. they like the alpha males at the top of the food chain........ the rest are just a distant second or a compromise !!!!

RomanceLife37: Honest, with the top 3 being honest, smart, and charming.
Hello romance, to be honest, I understand, to be charming, I understand, but why must a man be smart? You must be smart to make a lot of money or to invent something new but what is the use of being smart in a relationship? Look at me, romy, I am charming and honest but I am not smart. So you would say: Sorry, bauksi, no chance.

Sorry, but I find that a lot of men who have money, power and success to be rather shallow and pompous which is a major turn off for me.

I disagree, especially since the thought that there are alpha and beta males in a society - success at work, does not make for success at home - and most women figure this out.

Not a compliment for the women here in the forums. They are all romantic characters and dislike rich men.
dan_barry64: well how come then most ordinary guys like us are blocked out for living in a part of the world not looked upon favorably by a lot of folks here!!
It is a bias, I must admit. And most of scammers I heard are from here, not there.
Bauksi: What makes a man so attractive that you give him a chance for a dating with you? Which one would you prefer? Thank you
Intellect.
I am not interested in money or status. I am always glad when someone is smart and laughs about the same things that I laugh. And I run if I see that for the other one money is important or that he defines himself through it and assumes it plays a role if I look at him. Then the communication is already over because there is no common base to understand each other.
For me a man is attractive who sees like me people so naturally as individuals that he would not even think one second about it if his or my money makes one of us attractive or unattractive for each other, haha.
If someone would look for security in me through my money or status I would think he is totally stupid, because I think security is in the backbone of someone, not in his or her wallet.
Some men claim that what is attractive to most women are only what a man has as in money,home etc.But if she said that isn't/wasn't factual then she's made out to be a liar.
When I first met my late husband he was living at a YMCA for men plus he had no job and no vehicle.
I owned my home,had a job and my own vehicle.When he did finally find a job I was still supporting myself and still had no need for his money.Plus he still didn't own a home or car.
He did finally buy his own vehicle and I still had mine.We lived together before we got married but he didn't support me.So see what some say claim being that women are attracted only to what a man has is a total farce.

So true. I believe integrity defines who we are. Not our looks, possessions or where we come from. The truth often is absent by those who boast on their intellect.
