There's nothing wrong with being a superficial gold digger if you are open and honest about it and the men you get involved with are aware of that from the beginning.

no but you sound like leech. dont u have your own money nowaday us women cant be depending on men like that. divorce rate is 50%. if your looking to the future get a job, save money and find yourself. what happens when this older guy what a younger (than you) woman?

Are you trying to marry for money instead of for love?
In the end......money doesn't make happiness

I don't think it is bad at all...Its about you being happy...and if money is what makes you happy, go for it..I believe it is nice to have financial security but without true love, it means nothing..at least thats the way I feel.. Just remember,, when you are 46, he will be 62 and when you are 56, he will be 72..I know you would more compatible with someone your own age but if this is what you want, nothing no one could say would change your mind. I really think you would be with someone older, more for the money, than love...that wouldn't be a marriage, that would be more like you are looking for someone to take care of you...kinda like a father... But do whatever floats your boat, I'm sure there are alot of other money minded women out there just like you...


laffytaffy
it all depends on your reasons for wanting to be with someone much older and wealthier. if you are doing it for the money....its baaaad. you are cheating them...and you are cheating yourself. try to be with someone because of who they are....not because of what they can offer you

Nope. Simply a lift style choice. You know what you like and don't like. My husband is 12 years older than me. Men my age are very immature.

It isn't right, because you're not looking for a partner, you're looking for a dad. You need to stand on your own feet and make your own money. Then you need to find an equal. Otherwise, you're going to be in a one-up relationship where the man can do to you whatever he wants -- ie. abuse -- and you'll feel you have to put up with it. He has all the money and he's your dad. Not a smart move!

As the saying goes, "Different strokes for different folks" or "whatever floats your boat." You can live your life anyway you want...

Well its really up to you. A secure man is preferable. I think we can all agree to that one. But there is such a thing as love and if you just go for someone because they are older and have money then you are selling yourself short. The man will feel he owns you, and you will feel you are owned. And as they say,,"if you marry for money you will earn every last cent" That alone doesnt give me much comfort

Let me tell you some words of wisdom my aunt told me years ago: " It is just as easy to love a rich man as to love a poor man, and in many cases it is a whole lot easier." You go, girl. (Let's count the thumbs down, shall we?)

well if u really like the guy then, its ok, but if ur doin this only because they have money ,then huney from where i come from its called gold digging...lol


ALBERT
Those things shouldnt matter it should be there personalty and spirit.


rogo
i think age has nothing to do with it, but money will, remember as a rule of thumb the one with the money makes the rules so if you don't mind being told what to do all the time then try it out, as for age older men may give you more insight to daily life or just a different view on things..!


cobrasnake
Not indeed.

Nothing wrong with that. I surely dont date broke men.

No, if it was bad there would be a law banning it. Plus lots of girls would rather marry a really rich older guy. Why? Because they have lots of money and there at the end of there life.

Are we taking about emotional blackmail ?

When I was 40 I ended up losing everything, my house , life savings, to a woman like you, she was aged 28. Eventually I went bankrupt with debts of £40k . We even married, but never consumated the marriage - she was just after a passport !

Just by my personal experience, I would would say it is bad to take advantage of peoples feelings to get them to spend money on you.


itsmee a
I don't think so you just want to be taking care of my husband is 8 yrs older than me and i have never worked a day in my life but i do keep him very happy at home


Gemma
Its your life, as long as you are happy with your decisions and you are being true to yourself, then no it isnt bad .if you are simply with the men to rake in all the dough then you need to look at what you want out of life and why are you with people for the wrong reasons.


Jasmine B.
Your in it for the money.
If money makes you happy, then go ahead.


You'll get money in every aspect of your life.
Just don't plan on money lasting forever because someone younger than you can just come along any moment and all that you had would be gone.





It's your life, your decision.
Do what makes YOU happy.


kill_yr_television
It's fine with me honey. That way there are plenty of lonely young men who grateful and happy to form a relationship with a woman who is older than them (like 10-15 years or so) even if she DOESN'T have money -- or at least is smart enough not to spend it on them. We just LOVE that 10 minute recovery time, if you know what I mean.

KOOL ...take it and run then find a younger man ....!!!!

Money is a reality these days, as long as your thinking of it in the right way. Ill give you an example. Right now im not looking to get married because im looking to egt my business in order with some online projects. everything i do is geared to try to get me to that point. Now if ur looking to get married or get involved with a man because u want beautiful gifts or to be spoiled this isnt love and u will be happy on the outside but never on the inside and eventually this relationship will end up like over 70% of marriages in america, IN DIVORCE!!!!!

Not only that but ur kids will grow up in single parent unloved homes. Like i said every decision u make now has positive or negative repurcussions on your future and the future of your future family and future kids. Thinking about money is ok but it has to be for a legitimate reason and your intentions have to be geared towards finding love and family. Can u compare money to the love of 2 parents that really love each other?

It's not wrong if you want to date a more established man. I know I prefer men at least 3 years my senior, because I feel they are on my level of emotional maturity. I also like the fact that older men know what they want from life - where they are headed in their careers, and most importantly, what they want from a partner and what they expect from a relationship. This means I know where I stand in their lives, and if the relationship is going to last. They also tend to not play head games like younger men do. Being financially secure also helps, but it isn't the most important factor for me. Having said that, it definitely works in a man's favour if he is financially secure. If you know what you want, go and get, as long as it is for all the right reasons. Don't let other people judge you - if this is what is right for you, don't hesitate to pursue it.

i looked at your other question and obviously you cant get a mature man with money, you have to understand that these men want women that have reached a certain level in life and wont feed of their success. do you actually think they worked their butt of to spend in on some women that has absolutely nothing to offer?


waz up
if u are involved with them because they have money and are older then yes, it is bad.
if u are involved with them because u like them, then it isnt bad.

Nah - open doors with just a smile. But stress and love can be fun too.
