Money-grabbing bitches
What happened to the delete the last post option? I was only supposed to edit my post not submit a new one! Tsk!

Hmmm I'm not sure I can agree. One of them is very good looking, and the other has just joined the cast of Eastenders.Nick Harvey wrote:Totally off topic, but doesn't Ashley look like Stacey's new brother, who's joined EastEnders this week?

Good Lord!

What this survey has explicitly stated is that virtually 1 out of every 2 women a single man will meet will consider his bank balance above all other considerations.
That's seriously freaked-out shit.
I know jan personally, and I know she is not motivated by money - the exact opposite in fact. Although I don't know you, I've been impressed with your intellect and would imagine that you go for guys based on personality more than anything else.miss hellfire wrote:I pay such little attention to surveys/polls like this. I can't be asked to click the link. How many people took part for them to come up with this result. I know i didn't and obviously Chinajan and Jenny didn't and if i asked a whole bunch of my girlfriends they'd all say they didn't partake in this survey. Well except 1 maybe but she'd do anything, nothing would surprise me with her.
What the survey also says is that 55% of women are not motivated by money - a good thing.
Regarding the veracity of the survey, I must admit I do not know the ins and outs of it.

Spot on.I work with women mostly and it's lets say in quite a glamourous type of job,well paid but some are just gold diggers.
I see that trait in 90% of them i'm afraid.Some are stuck in loveless relationships and dying for some excitement but that is the price they pay for the big house etc.
There are few of the older ones just unhappy and quite nasty gossips as they have not had a good ****in years.I find them mostly shallow and sad.I do like the way they all tend to try and keep up with each other.I have not ever gone to any of the night outs they have but the 10% of the girls that are very grounded and decent and not materialistic tend to say that they are glad to be going home to their own places alone rather than being stuck with the fat old gits the rest are stuck with.
Actually you could write a book and make a movie about the people i work with it would be a ratings winner.One thing i would say about them they are all quite glam and look great.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.. Those statistics are wrong. Roight let me put you men straight. I reckon about 85-90% of women would prefer a relationship based on friendship, trust, loyality, commitment and chemistry. The Power, status and money would be considered a bonus not a priority.
Mental anxiety, Mental breakdowns, Menstrual cramps, Menopause... Did you ever notice how all our problems begin with Men?
That phrasing would suggest that Jan is actively motivated by people who have no money whatsoever!johnnyboy wrote:I know jan personally, and I know she is not motivated by money - the exact opposite in fact.
(Yes I know what you meant, couldn't resist it that's all!

My experience, This and That's experience and the results of the poll would disagree.miss hellfire wrote:Wrong, wrong, wrong.. Those statistics are wrong. Roight let me put you men straight.

I'm not a particularly good-looking bloke. The difference in the past when I was introduced as "Mark, my mate" or "Mark, the company director" has been marked.
Although I respect your point of view, missh, and would love to have your opinion proven to me, the figures I quoted were not my own. They were those of an opinion poll. In that opinion poll, nearly 1 out of 2 women confessed that they view men by the money they have/earn and not by their personal factors.

perhaps if you introduce yourself as a 'company director' women are going to think either;
a) you've got a lot of money because you run a company
b) you're a muppet
don't be offended at option b, but if i was around somebody who had to make it known they were a director i'd think they were suffering from an inferiority complex. i think that if you hold the opinion that women are all out for your money you are setting yourself up for such an eventuality by making it known that there is a possibility you are wealthy. the women you may have come into contact with and got to know in the past may not have given you a second glance had they not known this fact about you. you need to realise that if anything, you are probably completely to blame for this - if you didn't make it known you had money, people wouldn't want to get to know you because of your money because it isn't an issue.
if the very first thing somebody knows about is 'company director' this is going to instantly shape their opinions about you. perhaps your other behaviour is shaping the belief that you have lots of money (such as taking them out for expensive meals etc etc)
when i was single and talking to women i would never, ever, ever, reveal my offical job title and i would never tell women how much i earn't (it's none of their business and it weeds out those types quite quickly)
it's a nonsense to say that women are out for money. it's clearly not true, of course there will be women who want to get to know you because they want your money, but you could say that about pretty much everything else which is measureable or valuable.
