drbombay: I found MOST females in USA especially with or w/o children are looking to be taken care of and by that it tells me they're selfish, the only ones that had it rough, etc. I've heard constantly-where are all the good men? I believe generally speaking men are at fault most of the time but I got so tired of hearing where are the good men I would say you wouldn't know what to do with him if you had him.


Well, I dont know about that, and dont want to offend any American ladies!uh oh

All I know is what I have gleened from discussions here, and the feeling I get..dunno

Ogden,

Speak for yourself, most American women that I know are not "gold diggers". We areproud to work and be able to support ourselves and have a good life. The last thing that I expect in this world is to be looking for a man to support me financially or give me money. That comment is very offensive to me, I have never taken money from any man, and never will.

I actually found it quite interesting, because, as I said in my original post - my impression came from talking to both men AND women..handshake

Material desire is a matter for today's man.
They say, "money creates the opportunities for joy".
But if money is the most important matter then what about the real passion(LOVE).???

Love is more important than money. I don't care how much money someone has or makes, if there's no love I'm not interested. Sparking my mind is the best way to spark my heart...and sparking my hormones helps a lot too.

langleygirl: Lets be realistic that we need enough money to at least survive - and if one person is running the relationship into the ground because of poor spending or poor money management I highly doubt that there will be much joy in that household.

If your partner blows the grocery money - how will the family eat for the next 2 weeks? Good money management skills are required for sure in any relationship.

Love and money I believe are separate entities ..... kinda like business and friendship. The two shouldn't mix as business is business.


I do agree with this though...it's important to be able to pay the bills and buy groceries and gas, as well as to have enough left over for a few wants. I have no desire to be homeless and live in abject poverty.

In today's society, in the environment we live in money plays a big part in our lives. And the parent being adverts, tv, radio, celebrity, government is influential. So yes when money breaks down, being the materlistic world we live in, most relationships do suffer, the mind gets programmed to think a certain way.

Doctors and/or volunteers who go to third world countries to help the sick and diseased, not for payment. This is one of the many examples of what I believe love is. Love to me is a selfless act. If we go into a relationship for our own needs, that being money to survive then no I don't think that is love. Its just survival.

Another point, there are people at war (not the psychos) but the ones risking their lives fighting for our freedoms so we can live comfortably, chat on forums, go on holidays, build a family to fulfil our own needs. Isn't what they are doing a selfless act? ANd would we consider doing this ourselves or do we have our own needs to consider?
