Does money talk when dating?

if you had loads of money’rich’ like would it make your chances better?

depends on what your looking for…I know a now deceased ex of mine was very wealthy, very beautiful but also very alone.

Wasn’t there a similar thread by you not long ago?

some studies have said yes to that question.

i know money talks in relationships big time…and will improve your chances big time…maybe i made a similar thread b4

I know money does not buy happiness. Perhaps some security in life but certainly not happiness. Unless of course you are easily fulfilled by the things that money CAN buy.

However I am reminded of a song by Everclear here: (I was never a fan but loved one so…)

if i had big money…this song would be mine…

You know in my 20’s I had a credit card I never saw the bill for nor ever managed to reach any kind of limit on…and you know what my girlfriends told me? They didn’t care…it didn’t impress them at all and they had no interest in my proposed vacations in the Greek islands…they didn’t want it. I kind of figure anyone who would have thought the world of me because I could throw a vacation on a credit card would have been…well…a cheap date lacking the kind of depth and sincerity I was looking for in a woman…

When you are talking about marriage, money does matter somewhat. I know a lot of women work now, to help support their families, but the ideal situation, at least for the first few years of a child’s life, it is better if the mother can stay at home. So a husband has to be able to support a wife and children. Also, hopefully the parents will save enough money for the children to go to college. This requires a decent amount of money. If you’re just looking for meaningless flings, then money doesn’t matter as much. But a lot of women are ultimately looking for marriage and children, depending on their age.

Money doesn’t matter, and to the people it does attract you don’t want them in your life. My boyfriend and I don’t have a lot of money, but we are both happier then words can express. I love Jason with my whole being and it wouldn’t change things if he had money. We always find things to do that don’t cost a lot, and I have the time of my life because I’m doing it with him. When I get done school I’m going to be making good money so we already talked about it. I’ll go out to work and he’ll stay home with the kids and take care of the house. He’s ok with that. :sunny:

I do realize that there is a harsh reality out there for most people…for most of us it’s make it somehow or end up alone in failure. It may be easy for me to downplay the importance of money when I know that if I were to have children they would be able to attend college and grow up surrounded by people who loved them. However I don’t see marriage as the route I wish to go in life…rediscovering love again at some point yes but not marriage as I’ve seen how impermanent these feelings can be and when I look around me I see so many marriages ending in failure…

But yes you are correct that this is the reality for most people in this world of ours…

(I want to say rather that the feelings behind love may in fact be permanent but the relationship it’s self is not garaunteed permanence by any stretch)

Money only buys temporary lies and deceit. You can be easily fooled by money. Money is a black magic trick that works on most people. They are convinced that it makes someone valuable when they have money to spare on distractions and shiney objects and experiences. Selfish distorted people will flock to a money holder’s false power. Go ahead and do this, nobody will stop you. You will sell your soul to the GOD of money and you may never wake up again.

I have always dreamt of becoming wealthy and tricking the succubi into marrying me.

I would make it the most special time in their lives and then leave their awful asses at the alter.

Id throw my hands up and yell “I can’t do this! My heart belongs to another! And her name is meatball sandwhich! Goodbye my love, ill always remember you.” And as they saw my money slip through their greasy fingers i would cackle with joy.

I have to much time on my hands.

Speaking of surfing we have quite the little surfing community where I live now…it’s like just two coves where the waves come in just right (for the east coast anyway) and people come from all around to surf here and there are little surf shops up and down the coast.

I’ve never done it myself but it’s fun to watch them…they are even out there in dry suits in mid winter with ice forming on their faces…we’ve got some tough motha surfers out here I’d say :smiley:

Even I give up in January to March. All snow run off.

I haven’t tried using a dry suit. This gives me an idea… thank you for that.

I have experienced a lot of paranormal phenomenon but have never ever heard money talk… :smiley:

I have however seen money appear, but it wasn’t the money itself doing the paranormal stuff, it was the spirit leaving the money there… just a $1 coin, but the significance of that coin was the message…still, no verbal language from the money… :slight_smile:

I love finding spare $5.00 in pockets… reconfirms my faith in the continuum of the universe.

Back when I worked for Goodwill in my late teens we were finding $20’s in pockets regularly…every time we’d empty a bin we’d check a few pockets and sometimes score up to forty bucks…you should seen all the junk I collected in my basement when I worked for that place…
