See, what you fail to realize is that there is not usually a clear cut line between a "gold digger" and a "woman who loves you for who you are" because part of who you are has to do with your ability to acquire resources. There is a HUGE gray area and most women fall pretty close to the middle.
Yes, your ability to aquire resources has to do with who you are, but only to a certain extent. It has to do with who you are, in the sense that your ability to aquire resources is simply a
preference of yours. A person should not be measured by his/her preferences in life, but how he/she treats others. Just because a mans preference in life may be to aquire an abundance of wealth, does not make him a "good" guy. People need to be looked at and evaluated on their code of conduct towards others; how well they treat their fellow neighbor. That's what needs to be looked at. Sadly today, people don't think like that, obviously you included. People's priorities are f*cked up and their heads and hearts are in the wrong places. People have forgotten that the number one important thing in life ABOVE ALL, is the way we treat those around us. Simple. The golden rule of life.

You want to know the honest truth? Well, I'm not going to go into details, lets just say that I was living the life of the proverbial "rockstar" until a few bad business deals forced me to scale things back, and I am now in the process of putting my resources to work to put me back on top again.
This took a toll on me, and it DID effect my relationships with women for quite awhile. But I am now over the hump and moving rapidly in the right direction.
Come on man, who you kiddin'? Since your supposed bad business deals, you've posted about maybe a handful of women(I don't know what the exact count's been) that you've had trouble nailing. The one situation of yours that's highly comical that you always talk about, is your 36 year old "attention wh*re" friend, who you claim wants you in bed. You claim she gives you all the signals that she wants to have sex with you, even blatantly mentions it to you I think you said, but you've turned her down if I remember correctly, because you don't really care if you f*ck her, or you're not sexually into her, or you are afraid that if you f*ck her, she'll get attached and you'll have to reject her, and because of that, it'll kill your friendship with her or some crap like that. Those are the lamest excuses if I've ever heard them. Stop making excuses, and just admit that this woman DOESN'T WANT YOU. It is obvious..others here have even told you that..but you don't wanna admit it, because you feel funny. But don't feel funny, because it's cool..like I said, it's tough out there, even with decent/good game. There's nothing to be ashamed about.
If you're not really sexually attracted to her, or don't care if you f*ck her, or worry about her getting attached if you f*ck her while you don't and thus hurting her feelings, or are afraid of killing your friendship with her if you f*ck her, then why did you post in your other thread how you act all sexual with her when you two are out..and why have you also mentioned that you sent her a recent
sexual text message. If you were so concerned about her "feelings", or if you're not sexually attracted to her, or if you don't care if you f*ck her, you wouldn't be doing that. So that's how I know you're bullsh*ting us all here with this chick.
You need to get better at reading interest. Even Lookyoung has told you that. I'm not knockin' ya by the way for miscalculating interest.

Come on Str8up, I've heard it from the horses mouth and so has everyone else. If not those exact words("I'm wealthy"), then definitely indirectly or in a round-about-way.

Coming from a lower middle class family of midwest farmers, I have experienced life from both sides of the fence, unlike you and most of the others here who speak about growing up in an upper middle class family and not being happy. You have no means of comparison. You don't understand money. You villify money. You have no way to comprehend what I am saying because you don't have the perspective.
Re-reading your post you totally confirmed exactly what I am saying.
"Happiness comes from within" doesn't tell the whole story, and is yet another popular saying perpetuated by those who don't understand that it's a little more complicated than simply "finding it from within".
I'll give ya credit, I didn't grow up in a low-income household, so I didn't really have any means of comparison at that time. And I'll add more credit to you and actually admit, now that I've thought about it more, I remember, after living under a low-income level before I got the job I have now(after I began taking care of myself financially without the help of my dad), I
was less happier. Less happier, because, I was restricted as to how much I could do(going to clubs, spending money at clubs, going on trips, etc.). BUT, I will say, I still don't need to be "wealthy" to be happy, all I need to be "happy", is to be able to live "comfortably" wher I can do all those things I mentioned, which could be at a middle-income level. You can still do a lot of the same things at a middle-income level that you would do as if you were "wealthy". A woman can still do fine with a guy who's lives at a middle-income level. The problem is, when she's a glutton for more. That's what I have a problem with. I've always said, it's one thing for a woman who wants kids to look for security, but it's entirely another when she knows she can survive and raise her kids perfectly well on a middle-income salary, where they can still enjoy many of the things that wealthy people do, BUT WANTS MORE. Those are the types of women I have an issue with. That's just not cool.
