Why Women Want Rich Men

79

By L Ring

Cha-Ching!
Cha-Ching!

I'd like to shed some light on this subject for the men out there. It's well-known that men and women are largely predisposed to a certain gender-based pattern of thinking, and as a result, we analyze, process, and perceive life differently. We are simply wired that way from birth.

Although I cannot speak for all women, as a female myself, I feel qualified to speak on behalf of at least most women.

So, is it true that women only want rich men? Yes and no. It depends on the woman and her definition of "rich". Yes, it is true that there are many, many women out there that can be classified as "golddiggers" (some of them self-proclaimed) whose primary objective is to strictly date financially profound men in order to acquire as much of his capital as possible. These are the women that make the rest of us look bad. They're money-motivated, usually highly attractive and/or manipulative with no concept of independence or loyalty whatsoever. They prey on wealthy men because they depend on them for their own survival and use their looks or charm to gain a free ride through life at the man's expense, quickly disposing of and replacing him if the cash or jewelry flows short. They know their game, have mastered it and will fight dirty if necessary. This is not the kind of woman you want to plan a future with or bring home to Mom.

Scary, isn't it? The silver lining to this cloud is that I truly believe that those women are the exception, not the rule.

The majority of us do want rich men, myself included, but we want a man that is rich in integrity, humor and honesty instead of dollars. Don't get me wrong-I mean, nobody wants to reside under the local interstate in a corrugated cardboard abode, eating beans from a can watching the kids suffer from tuberculosis. Most women aren't likely to be attracted to a guy who lives in his grandmother's basement eating Slim-Jims and playing video games all day. There needs to be some ambition, drive or motivation to succeed...not necessarily to be rich, but succeed meaning motivation to utilize any skills or talents that exist in order to reach his full potential. This benefits the woman too, but it's a selfless desire; a good woman will notice something in a man--a certain spark or natural ability that she believes in, encouraging him to maximize on that feature so that HE can experience his own climax of achievement(My husband calls this "nagging").

The bottom line is this: True, strong women seek character, not carats.

And no, nice guys do not finish last. We marry them.

I like your hub here. It's good for everyone to know that women desire good character over dollars. Lord knows that's why MY wife chose me! haha

Same here--my husband and I were both in the process of building a life when we met(in our early 20's), so we didn't have much until we married and worked together as a team. We've been married for almost 2 yrs now. We appreciate the things we worked hard for because we did it together. Not to mention, we recently found out that the tax break is excellent when you're married! ;)

This article was great, and for me it has an absolute ring of truth. As a 54 year old artist (musician/composer/author/educator) I often consider what I have have to offer women, and you've allowed me to a lot much to my list. I have "intuited" a lot of what you've written as true for myself; it is very reassuring to see it in print, coming from a woman. Great piece.

That second sentence was supposed to read "you've allowed me to ADD a lot to my list."

It's encouraging to read this. I'm 43, educated and gainfully employed...but I'm not rich...not by a long shot. I'm saving my money. My car is old...but it's clean, runs well, and paid for. My apartment is small, but neat, and I have everything I need. I have interests, know a lot about the world and can hold an intelligent conversation about just about anything. And, I'm not half bad looking. Yet...I can't get a date in this town to save my life. I'm beginning to think that all women are looking for these days is a cash cow. They all want to emulate the Sex and the City girls. It's nice to see that there women out there who don't fit that mold. Now...my only question is how do I meet these women????

I heard a saying a few years ago that I agree 100% with (though there are exceptions, and the saying is a bit crass)

"When a man meets a woman for the first time, the first thing he notices is the size of her breasts and the shape of her ass, when a woman meets a man for the first time , the first thing she notices is the size of his wallet and the shape of his bank account".

It's all about money and social status.

or having really low expectations.

JoeJoey 21 months ago

I completely agree with " Love creates money". It all comes down to $$$$. And looks are very important to WOMEN.Not so important compared to a men,but stil important. I'll break it down for you. For a MAN, his CAREER, What he brings home,what he owns all are VERY VERY IMPORTANT.

For WOMEN, their looks - meaning attractiveness, beautiful, prety, hot,etc. Off course a women's personality is important too.

But, in short, MEN need $$$ to get a HOT WOMEN. and HOT WOMEN need to look good to get a $$$ MAN!

Women will tell you, money is not important,its bullshit.Men will say, I dont like SEX.Its bull shit too.End of the day, for MEN, please work hard, smart to get the MONEY.Buy a nice house,car and have property.

Women, if you are unattractive, go work out,dressup well and am sure men will come.

It's sad but true that REAl/TRUE love has gone away! I still hope there is an attratcive women who is still loking for true love. But, I think its gone! What do you think

Lets be realistic people...!! Mutually Beneficial relationships are replacing 'love'.. We've all been in love and eventually had our hearts broken.. so sorry but F*** that. I've lost faith in love and finding a real gentleman/loyal/loving man. Instead, I seek arrangements with older guys who want me a young, attractive trophy on their arm, who doesn't complicate their lives but only assists with enjoying life! In return they help me financially, are a friend and show me that life can really be exciting and the world is a beautiful place just waiting to be explored.

Nothing is for nothing is a quote that is sooooo true!!!

I am a male, 45 stay in shape ect. I am not rich, but I have had relationships with all economic classes of women. I have dated everything from bartenders to doctors. I think that if you are truly looking for a relationship that works, judge people on who they are and not what they have. I have seen it over and over agian, with my friends who are wealthy. they marry a women who is 20 years younger and wonder why they had an affair with there personal trainer. Guys you have to ask yourself this question. Would she be with me if I made 8k a year and not 800k? If the answer is no move on, why live a lie. I will admit that dating a person with money is nice, but it is nothing unless you truly have feelings for them. My current gf is making about 1.2 mill a year, but thats not why I am with her, I am with her because she is honest, loving and DOES NOT CARE WHAT I MAKE. Guys and girls dont be fools with money, find someone who love you for you, thats happiness that money cannot bye. peace

a man can be average in his income and never get laid.

but if he has money and even if he is not that attractive,a woman will jump on his pony and ride it.

when a woman say nice men do not finish last, women marry them, that is total BS.

I see 60 yr old men married to 30 yr old women. why? the man is a doctor or lawyer.

men or women, if your lives revolve around having more money, then ur just a sad and weak pathetic fool..

people like this just won´t get what life is all about..

futile pieces of human shit..

the need for money to buy expensive shit beyond the things there are necessary to maintain a "normal" life, only shows how empty people are

I think there is nothing wrong with women going for rich guys. It is natural selection. Darwin stuff. Rich = powerful, better future for offspring. Money is the modern equivalent of strong muscles and sharp claws.

mez 11 months ago

The truth is that you neglected your original argument when you came out with this:-

The majority of us do want rich men

Women are motivated by the original cave-man mentality, where the man is the bread-winner.

I heard a conversation in the shopping aisle the other day, it was between two middle aged mothers discussing a female offspring of marital age:-

"Julia's met someone and he's proposed to her"

"omg, what does he do?"

first question i.e. "how much is he worth?"

not oo are they in love, no.... what is his job and what does he earn

I think this observation was true at one time but today's woman is too self indulgent to be honest with herself. Men with money are ugly acting beings due to there large available supply of women!

It's become an ugly world, plain and simple

Mike 5 months ago

this is totally bs. In reality, men only want rich girl friend. They pretend loving in the first place that's why they start fighting with their girl friend. They hooked up thinking that the girl is rich only to find out that the girl is exactly the same level as he is and he is bitching but stuck with. So, he is looking to kick her out of relationship. What women want is sex. They want bigger better and harder. there is nothing more that they are looking. They only pretend that they are looking for rich guys partially it's because they are pissed off at the guys who are not satisfied with her giving sex. It's total opposite in reality. Men are spoiled by mother with love so, they look for something better like a woman with a big house and expensive cars nothing else.

i consider these women, low life filthy pigs in the first place. they will use men for money, half of the time anyway. god forbid, if they were to like a man for himself. that shows you how rotten many of them are today. women are good now, for lying, cheating, stealing, and just playing to many games. most of them are, and always will be losers. i lost a great deal of respect for these type of women, that are just no good anymore. lets not forget the ones that are whores, since this is how they make their living today. then we have the lesbians, and what a disease they are.

Greetings,

"Healing By Spiritual Doctors" is a book written by T.S which is now available at Apple stores for only $6.99. This book talks about women role throughout the history of creation and the fact that how powerful or known men have tried to buried their influence throughout the history so that their clear voice not be heard.

After 30 years of research in the science of universe,the writer of this book is trying to show the true role of women in the universe and find their roles in healing! In this book you will see how women as Medium, can heal themselves or others by spiritual doctors. This is a gift from god and the pure spirit who are the guidance of our women Medium. This is the book that need to be read by all women so they learn their inner ability and be able to help our society and humanity!

Hope you too hold our hands and be our guidance in this matter.

Sincerely with love,

I personally do believe that there are some women that are good in character and strive to do things without the help of anyone, the same for men. Some do well and some do not...and are able to find someone of equal character to love. Unfortunately, there are not many women like this. Over the past 60 years, women have fought for their equal rights to men and I applaud the great efforts...congratulations, women now have no problem making damn good money and providing for there families as well if not better than the man involved. I was raised knowing that my mother and hers were the disciplinary and grew to respect women more than most men. After all, we are people first and foremost...we should be equal. But after 2 divorces in 14 years where in both they cheated on me...the first after we were together for 7 yrs. and she started making a little more money than I. The fact that I carried her ass for all the years before had never been brought up, but soon after she was doing better...she starts asking me what I'm gonna do to keep up with her and she became soooo materialistic. The second wife I tried to improve on...big mistake! She was worse, after a few years of trying to get pregnant, we got checked out...I was fine, she was not. She was depressed for a while and I allowed her to drag her ass on helping with our bills by just cleaning this much older rich guys house once a week and almost two years later find out from someone that she had been doing him the whole time and later found out that she was convinced that he could help her have a child but without me of course. I have to keep believing that there is still hope that I can find a real woman that believes in living equally. Come on ladies and gentlemen...we are living in the 20th century, not the 1800's! Start representing so that we can stop the cycle!

Unfortunately, most of this is not true. Women on dating sites for instance will generally not even bother to look at a man's profile if he doesn't make at least $70,000 or $80,000. I did an experiment with this. I have a profile on a few sites and make a moderate income close to $50,000. Hardly any bites or responses from the ladies. I changed my income level to $80,000 and guess what happened...a few actually wrote back! A couple weeks later I posted it at $100,000 and I had more than a few winks and email responses. I think that proved a significant point.

Jace 3 months ago

Very good experiment Jim. I'm sure for a good 90% of the women out there, it's true.

"a selfless desire"? Yeah sure. An oxymoron if I ever heard one. Look up Briffault's Law.

franko says 6 weeks ago

women that only want to be with rich men, are certainly without a doubt such a FILTHY LOW LIFE today. GOD FORBID, if they were to just like a man for himself. i agree with the other person, who said that also. many women today, seem to just go after men with money. this is the easy way out for them, since many of these FILTHY PIGS do not want to work for their own money. so getting involved with a man that has money, makes their life a lot easier for them. SUCH LOSERS.

Well I'm 27. Married a young man whom I was so in loved with. But he became an alcoholic. He started beating me for no reason. I started hating him. I have 2 children but I am in great shape. Very attractive too. I know that and I'm proud of that because I work hard for it. So I left his sorry ass and went to get an old rich man who treated me like a queen. Gave me everything I could ever ask for and more. My kids now have great life. I have a great life. Driving a 2010 Jaguar and a brand new Camaro SS. I now own apartments and a beach resort in my home country. Why suffer for love and be miserable? If you have children at risk, think twice. For love alone won't give you and your children a great life. We only live once to be poor lol.Lesson: Love is a game and I lost so many times but it taught me to be wiser. Life is too short for bullshit. There's a reason why our brain was placed much higher than our heart. Use your head. Teach your heart to stop being a fool. Teach your heart to love someone that you don't love. Because once you can do that, you'll know you can do anything! Just being honest here. Financial security won't break your heart.
