I think she would be worth the most beautiful ring I could afford without overstreaching myself.:beer:0 -
yep money matters, its a fact of life, womens hormones make them see wealthy men as very attractive
poor men with great personalities...yeah right!
rich and boring wins 9 times out of 10
men will go for looks and nice personality and poor women....women just aint that way inclined
you know its true0 -

People are more likely to marry someone of their own values, cultures and regions anyway. Look how many people marry someone from their own village.:beer:0 -

But why would anyone WANT to be broke? Just to prove that they are loveable without money? :rolleyes:
Ss I get the dont want a sponger bit, who does? but does that mean you would settle for guy who wasnt very decent so long as he had enough cash?
Most girls would settle for a decent guy. Decency ought to be more important than his bank balance IMHO0 -
An interesting, witty, caring and trustworthy man could one day make a fortune (and therefore become perfect!) A boring rich man could somehow lose his fortune...but would still be boring! I go for personality everytime ....ok ...this has led me to a life of old carpets and cheap holidays but where we are poor in money we are very rich in love and have a very happy family! At the end of the day - a nice girl will not only be out for the money.... most young people ideally want a gorgeous and wealthy partner on their arm - when they get a little older they would rather know they are loved truly for who they are. TBH I think it must be harder for the young rich to find an ideal partner as they will always have doubts if they are really loved for themselves or the money.I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes0

Right before I start all of you get the sick buckets out. I love my husband he is very sweet and nice and kind and 10 years older than me. I know where he is 99% of the time and know that he would never cheat. He would not even know if they where throwing at him he is a little bit dim like that :rotfl:
Maybe he does not buy me flowers (only use to get them from my ex when he did things wrong so don't like them), chocolates, cars, diamond rings etc.
So do I swap him for !!!!!! of an ex who threw money around like water and in the end found he was lying scheming piece of poo. Who had a girlfriend when he strarted seeing got engaged to me and was seeing somewhere else before we broke up.
There are woman who go after men just for there money and there are men who go for woman just for there looks.
I want a man who loves me for being me. Not for being full of fake bits like hair, nails, boobs and tans. And because my boobs and backside hang out my clothes.
A relationship is more than just how much money they earn and what you look like. Because if you thinking long term there is a years you are going to be with someone. And there is no way I would be with my husband for his money because he ain't got any. Most people would not even class him as being good looking but he is to me. But he takes me for being me and loves me to bits and is kind and caring. Which to me is worth more than a large pay packet any day.

Girls love confident men....just the way it is! Money brings confidence....but the most attractive feature a man can give to a woman is to feel loved and feel protected... and a dash of chivalry (any-one rember that) doesn't go amiss too......
Those old fairy-tales have a lot to answer for........dashing prince.....my a*se!0
