I want your money. I don't really like you that much, but as I've put up with you for so long, I've let you touch me in an intimate way, I've laughed at your unfunny jokes, I've washed your clothes, met your friends, held your hand, for all these reasons and many more, I deserve a share in your money. I'm not going to date you for long, just long enough to get your feelings involved, so your heart flutters ever so slightly when you see me, just so that you reach the point where you're aching for my touch and I will pull away, you see I know I have you then. The more money you give me, the happier I will be, and the more I will be able to put up with you slobbering all over me. I may even be able to convince myself I like you a little bit, it may lengthen our relationship. As long as the money keeps coming of course. Take me nice places, buy me nice things, give me money on request, no questions asked, and we could live a very happy life together. Maybe even an open relationship? That would be great, so I can see other people, but I will keep coming back to you. I mean you work loads to keep that money coming in, and I'm a young girl, I'd get lonely, but I'll always be yours. One day them three little words may creep in " I love you" Then who knows what could happen?

Money grabbers. Oh yes, them creatures. That don't have the capabilities or talent to earn that money, but are capable of having people fall for them in a big way. Mostly women are known for this terrible crime, but men are guilty of it too. What is it, something for nothing? You can get someone to fall for you, and in return they buy everything for you, they are just after your money. Rich people usually stick to their own kind for a reason, it is so easy to get your fingers burnt. I have friends who are more interested in their fellas bank account than anything else. The sad thing about all this is, I think on many occasions the used party actually knows they are being used, and just let it happen. They know they wouldn't have a hope of being with this person in the real world, so why not buy some affection, what harm can it do? I think they think the person will eventually fall for them, I mean we always have that hope, we see in ourselves good points that other people may at first overlook. What's the harm in throwing money at people who you like? Nothing. As long as they liked you for other reasons in the first place.

A mans bank account does not interest me in the slightest, and I would hate for a man to pay for everything, and just think he could throw money at me to keep me happy, it would make me feel cheap and not in control! I can't think of anything worse. I'm my own woman, I don't need anyone to pay anything for me, and that's the way it will always be, and if a guy thought that was the way to my heart he would be very wrong. Oh so wrong. It would take alot more work than that to convince me. The same works the other way, if I met a cute funny guy, who I later found out was just interested in my money, I would be so turned off! I mean can you really call that a man? No, I don't think so! If these people are happy to live their lives like that, then good luck to them, but in my world, you can't buy love.

Down the street you can buy the girl on the corner!!! Ohhh... Sugar-Daddy's/Momma's is the subject.. so I digress...

I'm glad to not have much money really. My friend keeps trying to get me to show off with clothing, style, and persona that I have a lot of money because he says that's how you pick up chicks here... but to me that's just living a lie. I have hardly ANY money, no real good clothes, and no style at all!!

As I posted on your money article, money isn't everything, and I myself would never date anyone or be attracted to anyone just because they are rich, so really I can't much put myself into that situation and try to see things from there position because it's foreign to me. Maybe they do it though because they think that money is everything, and that without that money they can't be happy? That or possibly they are too scared to go out and try to have to earn a living of their own?

And the difference between a gold digger and a prostitute is...?

Gotta give the latter bonus points for honesty, that's for sure.

Insightful post, sally. Gotta go climb a mountain.

you can't buy love.


I have disproven this common myth numerous times with hearty vigour!

I heard this on a stand up comedy show one time . . . "they do have viagra for women . . . it's called cash!". As usual, this was a very interesting blog, Sally.

My love for my husband is not tied to his income, but I do believe that all people want to feel taken care of . . . obviously, the dynamics of this are much different in dating as opposed to marriage.

I like money. I like to have nice things and go nice places.

However, my happiness with my life and my marriage do not depend on there being a surplus of money. My husband and I are a team, and when there is more money, our little team goes to the mall and buys a video game and some new shoes and eats at Chilis. When there is less money, our little team plays video games it already has and has a picnic with chips and sandwiches and soda on the living room floor.

More money just means sharing a different lifestyle with my family. Do I want vacations and steak dinners? Yes. Do I need them in order to feel happy and feel love toward my husband? Hell, no. (I think this comes from a movie, but I don't remember which one . . .) Money doesn't buy love or happiness. It just buys things.

That is all about physical attraction, and selling an image. People often go off first impressions, and they will be more impressed by the person dressed nice, and who looks like they are well put together than the person who doesn't, that is just human nature unfortunately.

Maybe they do it though because they think that money is everything, and that without that money they can't be happy? That or possibly they are too scared to go out and try to have to earn a living of their own?


I'm sure not being willing to earn in themselves is a huge part of it, that and they don't really know what true love is, so money is a good substitute.

No difference Gid....well pointed out!

but I do believe that all people want to feel taken care of


Yep, that is true, to an extent. Though I personally prefer my independence.

My husband and I are a team, and when there is more money, our little team goes to the mall and buys a video game and some new shoes and eats at Chilis. When there is less money, our little team plays video games it already has and has a picnic with chips and sandwiches and soda on the living room floor.


I just love that! You're a team! That's the point, you go through the good and the bad, money helps, no one denies it. There are good times to be had with no money though, and them good times come from the love your team have together!

Money doesn't buy love or happiness. It just buys things.


Well said.

Prostitutes usually don't drive Ferraris


...old but funny! Hey slc, I'm waiting for a picture of a pimp on my pimp thread!

Thanks for all the comments guys

Well, not meaning to sound like a current. But... I'm loaded. And the thought of a woman wanting me for my money... well. it erm.... turns me on. I WANT to be able to buy my women. Hey, if they'll fuck me for cash - then it's a fair trade. I'm one down right ugly, smelly fat wanker and if I can have a total drop dead gorgeous model that I shouldn't be able to have - then I will! For cash $-)

I think that's slightly unfair sweety......I wouldn't call you fat I think you're the excepetion to the rule. Only because money to you is more important than anything else...
