I wanted to know what
your thoughts are on this.

At some sites, I see profiles
where women are looking for
someone who is 'financially stable'
or 'successful'.

I don't think being 'financially stable'
or 'successful' makes you a good person
or even a good lover.

Yet, why do women look for this?

I admit I'm not that successful financially.
But I'm not destitute, either.

But I'm a good person who really cares about
people.

But I guess that's just not good enough for
some women.

Anyway, just wanted to know what people thought
about this, especially women.

Some of those women are materialistic...those you stay away from, some
simply do not want to support a man and I don't blame them. Being
financialy stable does not make you a success either in my view. But
there are many ways to define success I suppose.

Well myself I do not list in my profile anything about money or what he
must have gained financially or by the things he has. I really don't
think that is is the right thing to ask either one how much money they
make if they want you to know they will tell you. But then I'm not one
that is into materiel things either. I have been single for along time
and have been able to support myself. I might not have all the finer
things in life. But I have my 2 kids that I raised by myself a roof over
my head that I can call mine and not on the streets. But now I do
expect if I actually end up with someone that they at least do work and
help out. For no I will not completely support anyone. I have always
worked myself and at least expect them to work. But money does not make
the person ohh it helps to get the things in life that everyone wants.
But in no way do a I judge the person on his paycheck. I don't have a
problem picking up the tab when going out to eat either. I don't believe
just because you go out the man is suppose to pay all the time. Just my
thoughts. I do know there are a whole lot of women out there that are
very indepentdent and think the same way I do. There is no rules that a
woman can not take a man out to eat and pick up the tab. And not think a
thing about it.

Not saying there are not plenty women like that. They expect if you take
them out the men should pay.

But then there are men that believe just cause they pay for the meal it
gives them the ritght for a wild sexually time in the sack too. NOT

on other sites I've had women write and tell me that
I would not support them in the manner they have
become used to...
I'll think about that while I sit on my deck and watch
the sunrise with the lake 20 ft away, the geese honking
and eagles flying nearby...I'm a failure....

some want to be taken care off.

Be careful of the gold diggers.

Lmao, humm ya and who gets the last laugh and get to keep your money at
that lol

mnhiker-i have lots of thoughts about this. i just tried to email you
and i don't fit the criteria.

Sorry about that, simply.
I was notified and I changed
my e-mail settings.

Thanks.

Thanks TxsGal.

I wish more women thought as you do.

I have seen some sites that actually list an income figure. 50K+ seems
to be the popular number, which leaves out a huge segment of the
population.

Money and success...are they related?

Successful at being a healthy contributer to society?

Successful at being a human being?

Successful at being capable of understanding what they require in their
life?

Successful at not being a messed up victim, whining about how life
sucks, and women are bad, and all the other stuff?

Sounds like success to me...and nope dont see any of it income related.

Wow, Jess, I like that way you think!

Thankyou.

For me, it isn't rocket science...I don't want to have a relationship
with an income...I choose to have a relationship with a PERSON.

You know right now im makin a lot of money and being very succesfull but
other than that i hate hoe my life is goin? crazy eh? YEP that's what
i thought

first of all i look for someone who is financially stable because im
not looking to support some dead beat ass guy .. which there are plenty
of, it isn't something bad it is something that is mutual i also look
for someone emotionally stable... and they do make you more wanted to
have those 2 things to be able to pay your bills and not be a spend
thrift and crap like that

lol, sorority gals, always wantin money

lol shush you!!!!!

i got money and i think im mentally stable, is that a deal? I will
throw a jack russell in as a kicker ?? she has to be part of the
deal (with his best poker face)

only if i can throw in my retriever?

hmmm...awesome, but i like to drink beer and pass out on floors?
problems??
