What is it that they have to offer to their men? Ive always thought relationships/marriages are two way streets
Just a random thought.. |
Sooooooo true. But at the same time (from what I read on RS) there are guys out there that are actually willing to provide that crap (buying gfs expensive this and that), and complain that they do. They need to standup for themselves, dump the girl, and find a better one. Yet they don't.

Frankly, I'll take a .4% reduction in the chances of me having to get my tits cut off.
I have a higher chance of dying of breast cancer than in a car accident, but I still put my seat belt on every time I get into my car.

Those who complain usually do so because they suspect that without gifts, those girls would leave them.

They seem to just put up with it for no good reason and won't break it off but will continue to complain.

Relationship (with hope for sex) in exchange for gifts. I could never understand those guys complaining.

Seeing threads like these makes me incredibly grateful for my gf, she's a stunner and could care less what I do or don't have, and she's been with me through thick and thin...I'm talking like me getting laid off from an incredible job, and her sticking by me while I made a career change
It's hard to paint over all women with the same brush and just label them as gold diggers... simply not true.

Note to those who have selective reading: I said alot, not all

bottom line is that girls are going to need stability and if you can't provide for them then it won't last. Use this as a wake up call to get off your butts and work hard.

stability for a woman = enough money for her to wear prada shades, buy gucci bags, expensive shoes and drive around in a nice suv or car. now before someone calls me a pig etc, i know that all girls arent like that, but a LOT are. if i ever end up at that marriage stage, one of the first things im going to tell her is that if she wants all that nice useless expensive shit, she can work and pay for it herself.

Stability does not = stuff. It equals reliability for most girls.
BUT if all you pick up is girls who have expensive shoes and expensive bags then you really can't claim to be suprised when they want those things. You guys want arm candy, arm candy wants pretty sparkly things.
Find a real woman if you want a partner with realistic expectations.
If you date a plastic girl, they're going to want your plastic.

if you end up at the marriage stage, why the fuck would you tell your girl that? you sound like an absolute keeper with that, great way to seal the deal there. she would realize within half a year, unless you've already been pampering her ass since day one. then your actions will speak otherwise.
girls are pretty independent, it's when you start giving her everything is when she stops bothering and relies on you and your wallet because she can and because you will.
if she loves you and you're broke but putting in effort, then she'll work double jobs just to make it work. of course, no one wants to be taken advantage of but if you're putting in effort at least you could say you tried.
seriously, is anyone else not surprised that this topic has hit 5 pages? i mean this topic?!? if she leaves you because you're broke, you should have picked up the signs, or at the very least not have dragged the relationship that long or even consider marriage with the broad.
marry someone you can't live without and make sure it's fucking mutual. through thick and thin, she'll still stay. the i do's and i love you's are bullshit, actions are the only thing that matter.
no i ain't talking about the physical actions not when it comes to marriage. it's much more than that, though i will be expecting some nonetheless.

When I ask girls (even the not-so-good looking ones) what they look for in a guy, a lot of them say Income, and even peg a dollar amount wtf. And these are chicks approaching 30. Good luck. |

You guys just need to filter out the gold diggers. Drop them no matter how hot they are, it's not worth the headache.
convo from the other day with a girl I was chatting with, somehow we began talking about clubbing and weird people.
girl: Ya I don't really to club, there's a lot of weirdos that go there just to pick up girls.
me: lol works both ways, there's girls that go there to pick up rich guys.
girl: *grins* so are you rich?
me: *smiling back* if a guy with $$ is your priority, I'm probably not the type of guy for you.
girl: *disappointed* oh, so you're not rich then.
me: I never said that. Well it was nice talking to you.
