Girls: how important is money when choosing a partner?

I would date a man only if he's financially independent and have a descent job. I have never been attracted to persons who were, let's call an apple an apple, poor.

Such a tricky question. Its almost like asking if size matters eh. Back to topic. It IS fundamental. Ill explain why. If I can foresee a future with constant fiscal concerns and possibly arguments/fighting (we cant afford to buy xmas gifts for the children this year, no we cant go visit family this year no money for the trip/vacations...etc) then of course this thought will emerge if a male were to tell me he has no job/no income

Im not saying this from the point of view that says "im the stay at home housewife, support and house me" no im saying this from the view that would have two working partners supporting EACH OTHER and maintaining our nest. So yes I would work make money and expect my man to do the same, for the sake of our nest:)

Only matters if the guys a hobo with no money. Enough to have a house and a car (the essentials basically) is good enough for me.

Why the hell should it matter? You as a person, are supposed to earn your own money and not depend on a spouse/partner for that.

All the money or the simple life, honey.

I don't choose thinking about money but it is a plus for me.
I had this thing with a guy who was rich. I liked him before seeing his house or his boat, but it made things quite interesting! All the expensive shit he'd come up with impressed me! Even if that sounds quite superficial

I don't think money can make you fall in love with looks and personality.

I can't be bought...well...nevermind. I sure as hell hope (s)he can't either cus I don't roll like that.

I'm interested as to what the ladies have to say about this topic. Hmm..

To be honest, when I was a teenager, it didn't matter at all what my boyfriend made. Now that I'm older and have a career, I'd have to change my answer to "money matters a little." If a man at my age is making minimum wage, then he won't even have the money to go out with me and have fun. He'll constantly be broke because his wage is just enough to pay the rent and buy food, and any extra probably won't be wasted going out. Not to say that the only fun we can have together is with money, but I wouldn't want to be so limited in a relationship. A guy making minimum wage would likely be working a lot and have no time for me...I make a decent amount of money. Enough to work fewer hours and still have extra to have fun, I'd like my guy to be able to at least do that do

Why does the man have to have the money what about the womans.

I mean you call always call it a sour dough bread bowl but that doesn't make it healthful, if you know what I'm saying.

I'm not going to lie in order to boost someones ego, and say the "money doesn't matter". What I will say is that I have no desire to get myself into a relationship where money is a major and constant concern in our daily lives. We have to be able to pay our bills every month.

It matters more to those who grew up with less privilege who are more practical. It also matters more to those with less self reliance. However, these two types are not mutually inclusive- a woman who grew up in a poor family without receiving an education is going to want a richer man. That doesn't mean she doesn't believe in herself, but she is simply being practical.

The question you are asking is very complicated to answer. I've done a poor job at answering it, but I am not inclined to revise my comment. You're asking a sociological/psychological question, which can be answered pretty well with statistical analysis.

It can also be answered with philosophy of love, but if you try to do that you're not going to get a straight answer. Feelings and personal experiences will cloud the debate if you try to throw the meaning of 'love' into it.

I already have all the money I'll ever need in this life. To choose a man based on a superfluous thing would be absolutely pointless. I choose people who give me things I want or need not people who have more of what I've already got more than enough of.

Sorry if this sounds like boasting. It isn't. I just couldn't find a way of saying it without actually saying it.

If I wasn't financially secure, though, then financial security wouldn't be entirely inconsequential.

I have a big greasy poon

I guess women are more into the non perishable assets,let's face it,money doesn't get old,fat,frigid and moody does it...and it spends just as good at 50 or 60 as it does at 20 or 30

The only riches I care for are the riches of the soul.

If I'm in love with him, I don't care about the money at all. If you look at the money first, you are an egoistic bitch, that's it.

I don't know why, but I've never been one who found having a lot of money an attractive trait. As long as he not lazy and just laying around all day without a job, it's fine.

If think you should watch Bill Burr's skit on the epidemic of gold digging whores. It's hilarious.
