Can A Woman's Love Be Bought?

It is what it is. That's why I've gotten to a point where I don't feel comfortable with a chick unless she makes more than me. Hard to believe a person loves you if they rely on you financially. Like everything from politics to religion once money is introduced into the equation all sense of justice and sincerity go out the window.

 

What do these three have in common? They're all relationships of power.

 

So much for love and duty huh lol

 

LOL! Those, too, are possible, grasshopper. Possible, but not likely.

 

can a woman be bought....yes . with a bucket of chicken and a 40 ounce

 

LMAO! But uh...who wants to pay THAT price?

 

damn u rite. go to mcdonalds ..they have a dollar menu

 

It's not the date, lol. It's the follow-up at the public health center.

 

LOL. oh shit

 

But the dollar menu does deserve some love.

 

LOL

 

No.

 

her love of money can be exploited

but there is no love for you, only what you provide, and many guys are cool with that.

 

That's most romantic relationships. I know the ladies will say different but there's a reason women perk up and are more attentive to doctors and lawyers more so than plumbers and security guards. It is what it is.

 

I don't think money can buy true love, but it can a relationship. It can make her very happy and secure, but leaves that slight void. Love is a powerful force. If she stumbles across it, the money is placed on the back burner. She will manipulate the relationship to be with that love. There is very little that will keep her away. It's like a drug and she will have her fix. Imo (I'm sleepy)

 

My answer about renting love was meant to be facetious. The answers above are what I was getting at. Many relationships are built around a guy using his financial might to get his way with a woman and a woman essentially charging whatever price she can to get the things she wants. The "relationship" is essentially a two-sided financial transaction. However, some elements of mutual exchange are present in even a happy relationship. It is rare that a relationship is driven SOLELY by emotional (as opposed to financial, security, domestic) reasons.

 

preach brotha preach

Romantic love is the flimsy conditional agreement know to man. Right up there with a pinky swear.

 

I think that's most of the women YOU are acquainted with. If that were really the case, only big moneyearners would have relationships. You can be married to a guy with stacks and be miserable or you can be married to a guy who earns a decent living but isn't wealthy and be blissfully happy. It's about priorities. The day my ex announced he wanted to go to medical school, I ran out the door crying. I didn't want him to be a doctor. I knew that it would adversely affect our family. Didn't matter that he would be making the big bucks.

Sometimes, you have to look at why it seems that a woman wants a man's money. Having struggled all my life, it would be nice to have the security of knowing there's enough money at the end of the day and I don't have to earn it all or scrimp and save every last penny of it. The other thing for me is that I want an intelligent man, someone who converses well, etc and let's face it - that is more typical of a well-educated and therfore a well-paid man. Not to say that a plumber can't be intelligent or well-read. He may be very well educated and prefers to ply a trade because it's something he enjoys.

There are women out there who want to live in the lap of luxury and prefer to have a man fund that lifestyle for them. I don't believe that is the typical woman. I do believe that most women want love first and foremost.

 

I believe that most people want things their way, regardless of what that way is and regardless of whether it is beneficial for the other party. I think most people view relationships like most other things, in utilitarian terms. I think that's unfortunate, but I think it's generally true.

 

Maybe I'm just different. I want to give just as much as I want to get in a relationship. It's not all about me.
