another question about girls and boys.


does money matter?

specially if one of the two has money and the other is dirt poor.

Ronny
Yes.



erm i really dont want a boyfriend who is doused in money... i want him to be 'well off' but if hes rich i am so not dating him

Df02
ur a very strange young lady

KidRock
Well I am a guy but money doesnt matter to me.. i mean i dont want her to be so poor where she smells and shit

silver_tears
I'll be the first one to say it......
Yes, money does matter yes

Call me cynical and what not, you can't live on good intentions roll eyes (sarcastic)
To get anywhere in the world you need money....

And I think relationships are no different, they won't last very long unless you can show each other a good time, usually this involves money confused

BackFire
It matters to a certain extent, yes. But it definately isn't the most important thing in life.

see, i just got a job and. . .well, before i had money i was dirt poor and asked this female out. she had a job, car, and a home. i had a bike, no job, and no excuse to make. but i stll went to her job each day and told her i was getting my life in order, and each time she said, " i hope your sure, i don't have extra time to waste." so with those words i found a good job. told her and she saw i wasn't lying so she finally gave me her phone number...geez.

Yes, I do not want to go out with a poor or homeless girl.

Imperial_Samura
Poverty... one thing money can't buy... but to me money is not all that important, and how does one define poor? Is this prospective romantic interest living in a box? Eating gravel (sorry, almost slipped into a Monty Python Sketch there)?

Money can't by happiness, and it is unfortunate if money stands in the way of friendship and even love. Yes, it is an important part of society, but I doubt I would ignore someone I really, really like just because they have less money then me (of course this might just be my university/socialist opinion talking)

Ronny
thanks i guess confused

MornGlory
it matters to me if - the person I am seeing has direction in their life...

like if they are trying hard to make something decent of themselves or working hard...

but money doesnt matter... but I dont want to date someone who just makes $20 a week...there is this guy who is trying to go out with me now- and thats what he makes... he can't ever go anywhere or do anything... looser

I can show you a good time for the price of a condom droolio and they're cheap wink

Money does matter in a relationship, but its not the most important thing. I mean, i wouldn't like someone who is homeless or extremely poor, that might just take advantage of me no expression. That kind of sh*t usually happens. Also, as some of you said, happiness does involve money, mostly erm.

leonheartmm
personally speaking, id pick a beautiful girl right off the street and marry her, if i love her. if u people dont like someone thas not rich or well off then, i dont think ur looking for love, or will ever find out, then, ur just looking for personal and societial satisfaction and status and thas just pathetic.

leonheartmm
but in a relationship, id say money matters only cause if neither the girl nor the guy has it then theyd be too worried about money related issues and less about their relationship.

Jackie Malfoy
My boyfriend is poor.And I don't care.I still love him.JM

Bardock42
aren'T you like 14 or something?

Jackie Malfoy
Yes I am and your point is?JM

Bardock42
Nothing are you implying I had a point posting these words?

Jackie Malfoy
No I was jut wondering what my age had to do with money t hat is all./JM

Bardock42
How old is your BF?

Jackie Malfoy
Fifteen he lives with his old man who does not have that much money t hat is what I mean when I say he is poor.JM

Bardock42
ah yes, ok
And it wouldn'T matter if you moved together or married ?

sim0921
Guys, what if, lets say, some poor, probably homeless person only pretends to be in love just to live like a parazite, then thats not love, thats bullshit

Bardock42
Yeah but lets pretend she is in love and maybe she is the love of your live but you think she just pretends now some people would say thats ****ed up

sim0921
Sadly, thats how most ppl are.
Think whatever you want, but i dont trust ppl that easily.

Bardock42
Well I just switched sites for no reason but I don'T trust people either, but you can never be sure so what would you do?

leonheartmm
well in the case of some one pretending that they are in love with you, well i wouldnt really say that thats bull, id feal sad for them, and anyway, it still doesnt matter, cause as long as I LOVE HER, its ok if she doesnt love me{id still take her off the streats though}

Bardock42
Err INteresting point so you say important for you is just that you love the person whatever she does, like even if she just uses you?

sim0921
I dont know; it depends. If you know that person for a long time, like since highschool, then its ok.
But, a new relationship, where you have no clue about what the other person is really like, then its a bit weird.

Noah
but what if hte good intentions get u a contract in acting or sining and u become famous and rich, then u can live off that












or could u shifty

big gay kirk
I never let anyone I date know that I am loaded.... I can never be sure whether they like me or my money....

big gay kirk
I mean, I never let onto my wife, even after fifteen years of marriage.... we just lived as if we were poor, worrying about the bills, while my two million earned piles of interest...

Tex
Money only matters if it matters to the 2 people involved.

§â®äµ
Thats kind of like me and my bf..not saying he's poor or anything, but i know his family doesnt have much money..and that doesnt matter to me

Jedi Priestess
Number one arguement in marriage=MONEY
Number two=SEX or more specifically lack thereof

nuff said wink

pr1983
she's right. money (or lack therof), can split a marriage in half. when u have it it aint an issue, when your struggling, that ruins everything...

DuronKiller
thats ok... but at the time you realize she just uses you, or she isnt interested in your presence, its even harder than if she distances her-self right at the beginning.... but thats a bit too difficult to me to express here right now laughing

Beyond Image
so a woman won't fall in love with a guy with a bus pass, or a woman won't find love if she gets welfare?

MornGlory
of course looks arent everything.. and you pick some "beautiful" woman off the street - then arent you just shallow?

Jackie Malfoy
Whoa going alittle fast.I had not said anything about marriage or what ever you are talking about.I am just saying that he comes from a poor family and that does not change the way I feel about him.JM

Bardock42
yeah but thats not the question its aboot you having to care for him cause he is poor he makes no money could you do that? I mean its easy now but can you imagine what it would be like if you weree like 25 and wanted to live with a guy that is really poor?

Jackie Malfoy
I don't have to worry about that until I am that age.And I plan to marry him I am not going to do that whole moving in thing until I am married through.JM

Imperial_Samura
Some how, I can almost understand why there will never be a sequal to "Pretty Women" (not that much of a shame, really). Yes, money is important, but it is kind of sad, as I have said before, if it runs ones whole life, if it is what decides who you end up with, who you love...

WindDancer
Absolutely YES! Money is makes the world go round. Can't never have enough money. It sucks to be poor.

dave123
but people with brains normally have money eek!

angelsflame265
I don't think it does. . . if you really like somebody you should be happy to just be in their company

MC Mike
This world is full of shallow people, but as she's nice and pretty, I don't give a flying ****.

Money matters as far as the economy is concerned. Money matters a lot to my parents. But...meh. There are more important things....

Human understanding. I don't have to do things that take money to make myself happy. I only have to think. Thinking is free. There are extra-curricular things, books, music, and whatnot that I can make my life more "rounded" I guess, but really I only need to observe and question. That makes me happy, though it may not other people.

My parents want the best for me. I can understand that. I suppose that includes material possessions as it does happiness. Happiness is not brought about by money with me. I tend to think I'm greedy and selfish when I have it. However, I think my parents think that because society "whispers" in their ear that they're setting a bad example or something. Somewhat similar to girls thinking they're overweight when it's completely out of the question.

I don't think money makes a person; I think thoughts and how an individual reacts to and allows people and environments to influence him does. When I have children, I do want them to get a good education and to live in a nice home where they aren't fearful. Yes, that will take money. On the other hand, what will money do toward an education do when their is no desire to learn instilled within the child by the child? My parents helped me learn. They didn't make me want to learn. Independence.

If a person used me, and I loved him, I would probably find some way to be okay with it in my mind because I loved him, and that would be that. Probably along the lines of something such as, "Love hurts." It does, but knowing the person I love is using would tear me to pieces. But if I loved him, I would be determined.... A Tale of the Wind is what it reminds me of.

These thoughts are incomplete, but I'm out of space...I'l...post some later, I guess. =^.^=

It depends. To me money isn't really important when your dating someone as in bf/gf type of stuff. It's just about attraction and personality. But when your dating someone and looking for a serious realationship as in you think this is the guy/gurl for me, I could marry them, then it does matter beacuse you can't really live off nothing and have a life together. Especially when children get involved, you need money. Not saying the guy has to be rich but have a decent job at least roll eyes (sarcastic)
