    If women let their head rule their heart on such matter, then consequentially as that is the wrong approach

    That's me even more fúcked then so.

    Really if women are allowed to have "abiltiy to pay bills" as a criteria then surely men should be able to discriminate based on cooking and cleaning abilites.

    You know what, I genuinely couldn't care less what the person does for a living as long as it is honourable! ;) I was talking to a guy one night, told me he was a respiratory doctor, he was great for a chat but was definitely not attracted to him. One of my friends was asking about him after he had left, I was telling her and told her what he did for a living and I saw a change in her expression straight away. She could not believe I wasn't interested in the fact that he had a good job. I just find the whole thing bizarre. What do you do with him for the time you actually have to be around him?!:eek:


    +1. And Rebel10, you're a girl?????:eek:

    Okay....let me put it this way....you meet an attractive girl on a night out and you get to know her...it turns out she's completely unmotivated in life and her work and complains constantly about her situation but does absolutely nothing to change it.
    Does your attraction to her lessen?

    No. It wouldn't increase, but if she's attractive, she's attractive!

    You seem to believe 'financial security' is wimmin's secret code for 'a doctor I can bring home to Mammy'. Perhaps these women simply mean 'a guy who can go out for the night without getting locked and maybe go halves on a cheap sun holiday without running up an overdraft'.
    But what do I know?

    Not being able to afford a proper night out, and scabbing half the price of a week in santa ponsa is not what I'd call "financial security".

    People who are driven, who are full of goals and plans and energy, are interesting. Members of the opposite sex full of goals and plans and energy are sexy.

    Maybe to you, but I find that a complete turn off. Egotistical glory-hunters. People who are sound are a turn on.

    So what criteria should I have then seeing as I earn the money with which I pay the bills, mind the child, cook, clean, cut the grass, paint and take care of most of the DIY *phew*! :eek:

    I would think it means a man who is not feckless with money. A bit of financial cop-on so to speak.

    Not necessarily a multi-millionaire. That would be a bonus.

    Someone who doesn't throw all the moolah away in the pub, paddy power, and ends up scrounging from week to week.

    Doesn't give a great indication of providing (security) for a future family.

    Maybe they just mean "I don't want a loser guy who will borrow money from me for spliffs and the pub"?

    I've got land.

    down the country if he has land, big farm etc. you're quids in or quids out if she is a real gold digger. a mate of mine got married to a girl who tried to screw him out of his wealth, trying to take him for every penny a few years. it had in a right state, thankfully he managed to prevent her doing so. the lesson is to treat your gold digger mean but don't marry her


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!

    Nothing wrong with looking for glory and achievement, and nothing wrong with having an ego as long as it's in proportion to your abilities. That's just self-confidence and belief. Doesn't stop anyone being sound either, but personally I just couldn't sit around listening to someone wait comfortably to die, having done shag all with their life. Got to be going places. Since, in my case, this has nothing to do with capacity to provide for me or to offer me anything in particular as a result, I imagine plenty of the women who look for similar things aren't doing it with a view to their partner's capacity to provide for and maintain them, but merely to avoid ending up with someone who bores the life clean out of them.

    Women like men with big bank accounts.

    Men like women with big tits.

    Well said my friend

    I wouldn't have made the connection between the two. I'd like someone who is ambitious and motivated,but it doesn't mean he has to own his own company and be rich,it means not lazy and having a want for something good for himself.

    I find it odd there are women that look for rich men,but at the same time that has to mean there are rich men willing to go for them too.so who's the stupid one in that situation?

    Girl's don't like boys, girls like cars and money.
    Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny.

    How much road frontage and are the ESB trying to build power lines on it?????



    I'd like a guy who dresses well, meaning he isn't going around with holes in his clothes (unless that is the fashion of the clothes) and somewhat clean! I don't care if they are Dunnes or Tommy Hilfiger. Fashion sense is not essential, but would be a plus.

    I don't care what he does as long as he is happy doing it, and as long as he isn't pretentious "I earn x amount a year" - hate that! As long as he has some drive in life and wants the same things as me I don't care what the amount in the bank at the end of the day.

    I would like to be treated to a cinema trip now and again or to a restaurant(not flashy ones)/nice take away. In return I would wash the clothes, mind the kids, keep the house clean, and I am one hell of a cook/baker!!!! :D Seems fair to me tbh!

    Also men that are recently unemployed but are looking or work are not to be ignored! Lets face it, if a man has drive then he will be trying to get off it again and that is a man worth having!

    Girls who insist on "financial security" alone do tend to be the aulde goldiggers!

    If a girl is after a man purely because of how much money they have, that's not a girl I'd want to be with personally.

    Would probably just end up resenting each other.

    I don't have any money though, so this is currently not a problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    Someone who is financially secure isn't necessarily someone who is successful or wealthy. At least not in my opinion. What's wrong with wanting your boyfriend or partner to be able to pay his fair share?

    Don't get me wrong, the boyf and I aren't rolling in the cash, some weeks I haven't a penny to spare but he does and vice versa other weeks. It's all about give and take at the end of the day. I'd support him as much as I could should he need it, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that your other half be able to step up and manage some sort of contribution.

    No, they don't.

    I think the OP means women who sit at home ordering from catalogues, leaving the school in the 4x4 bought by "hubby" and retires to bed with a headache in the evenings.

    There is surely a difference between someone wanting financial security and who is a gold digger like? You can be financially secure on a basic salary what's wrong with that though a gold digger would be with someone who is rich and is likely to have a top salary and is a multimillionaire? A gold digger Doesn't work so sponges off their partner instead when they can enjoy the finer things in life!?

    Someone with financial security is likely to work and have a partner who works where their financial security is shared and don't sponge off each other. What's wrong with financial security from that point of view?

    From a man perspectives, we could argue that we seek financial security as well but in terms of budgeting etc. Women can be feckless with cash too.

    Remember the case where the chap was engaged but didn't realise his fiance was in the height of debt. She hoped that when they married the debt would be a 'shared' burden. Fortunately for him he found out beforehand :pac:
