I think it also comes down to where in the world we are looking. In some countries with more traditional gender roles and/or more poverty, obviously it is going to be more important that the man is making quite a lot of cash. But take a country like mine. Most women are perfectly capable of fending for themselves and do not require nor even want a man to pay for them.
pat8lanips: This isn't specifically related to dating, it's about life in general. Money doesn't automatically make a person happy once they have their basic needs covered.
However since you brought up dating: If you think that money is everything for all women, I can only say that you are gravely mistaken.
I'm glad you agree. It is true we never know in what situations we will find ourselves or who will be in charge of us. The best thing we can do is try to focus on the positive and not judge other people.
Redex: Yes I'm fully aware that plenty of older women are not interested in younger men. That's perfectly alright. It's just a case of common courtesy. Just like most people wouldn't start a rant or ridicule a person for contacting them because they weren't pretty enough for them or whatever, there's no need to make a big deal out of it. There is always the option of ignoring or just giving a polite "not interested" reply. I will however keep on looking!
The discussion you told us about and the offer that was made to you... wow. I understand you didn't want to go through with that. I wouldn't want to take any kind of responsibility for such a decision either.
mollybaby: The blog community here seems very friendly so I can see why you would mainly stick to that (and the forums). You live in one of my all time favourite countries by the way!
FreedomOfSpeech9: Yes, I agree with you for the most part. It isn't necessary to have a whole lot of information in a profile. However if the only thing you have on it is what you work with and that you are a nice person that enjoys hanging out with your family or something along those lines, then you have just managed to describe at least 5-10% of earths population (give or take depending on how common your job is).
In my opinion that is completely missing the point of a dating profile. After all it's supposed to make people interested in you as an individual.
