Everybody wants something out of a relationship... What is it you want?

but are you the type to eventually say I made this and you need to come up to my level or we may need to part. I mean no disrespect in asking this but I've experienced this before. It was all good for awhile then it started to go sour.

Do you mean he made a certain amount of money and wanted you to make the same or you were breaking up?

.. how. to answer that.. let me just say this.. my previous wife was a professional woman.. who made a good salary.. but never once in our entire relationship..
. did I ask her or want to see a pay stub.. she made her money I made my money. if she would like to pay for something. that was up to her. but if we're out together.. then it is my hand going into my pocket. because that is what a man does. he does not look for gratitude are Thanks.. I do not hold. my role as a provider in a relationship.. over my partner.. she shows her gratitude in other ways..mmm.. and again she has her own revenue.. so if we go to a movie! I buy the tickets you buy the popcorn..
. but you will have to really twist my arm to let you buy the popcorn..

Shshsh if they date me due to money I sure feel sorry for them. They are going to be very disappointed...

And well I have never dated anyone due to how much money they made...

I look for those that love to cut up and laugh... One that can make decisions on their own... Whining drives me nuts... They must be able to carry a conversation... beyond Religion & Politics for both of those subjects are okay for a few minutes then I've had enough lmao...

We were breaking up and the woman he was talking to had a stable career.

I can't buy the popcorn???

Usually I can afford to go out to the movies because I budget. But if it comes to expensive restaurants. That's a little out of my league often.

I myself is an independent person. So I would say my side is for independent than gold diggers. As I believe that you'll attain what you want if you yourself knows how to stand alone when you fall down, no matter how bumpy the roads are or how bad life treats you.

It's about finding ways to help yourself in a good way, making your life better not hitching, gold diggering or ditching others.

I meet independent gold diggers all the time

I think I know what another name for that is "H****"

I don't think someone whos primary focus is money (how I measure a golddigger) is very appealing

however, I also don't find it appealing that someone has a 'don't need anybody' attitude (which is often how people who define themselves as independent seem to feel)

I guess I want someone who is independent enough not to 'need' me, but who is codependent enough to want me and work WITH me.

We were breaking up and the woman he was talking to had a stable career.



Oh. If a guy wanted to break up with ME for that same reason, I'd happily leave him be. If he thinks money is more important than feelings, "Good luck, buddy" I say to that.

This is exactly what I hope too...

I consider a woman to be a gold-digger if she uses my economic status to determine if I am worth her time and attention.

I agree but I find that most men here in Orlando won't even bother with you if you don't have your own place, Holding down a good career and is willing to give of yourself physically. That's the reason why I'm still single because of just those reasons.

Do you feel that is fair??? If you read my other comments you see what I married for...

Something from the heart that's real.

So if a single 80 year old, on a fixed income and barely makes ends meet is seriously interested in you. You would want to go on a date...

Women need to be more independent, I like the feeling of earning something rather than asking for a take out.

A 80 year old would be a stretch LOL all I am saying is there are a lot of people out there living week to week or in financial trouble my romantic interests are to be with someone who is where I am in life and to have a spiritual love with someone who desires me for who I am. Money is important to a certain extent, a place to live, transportation,occupation,I look at it like I am better off now then when I was younger but it still does not effect another's true love for me.
