Chix and Money, redux

Oh, I've come across a few of these on my Match adventures.

An ex used to work for a dating service, where they try to match up white men here with some local Chicom expats. The stories were just unreal. Some of the ladies came right out and told my ex that they only wanted a guy with money and US citizenship, fully planning to dump him as soon as the two year probationary green card period was up.

When my current lady got a look at my two 911's, she said I must be rich. I said I'd be rich if I didn't have those cars, but they most definitely keep me poor.

There can be gold diggers and there can be women who want a baby more than anything in the world.

This reminds me of a lunch “date” I had a long, long time ago. I put date in quotes because it was more of an interview than a date. This woman had tunnel vision and there was a baby at the end of the tunnel. She needed to know right away if I was husband/father material. She had a list of questions she asked during the date, including how much I made and what the growth potential for my career was. She fired these questions off interview style, for the duration of the date. I could tell when I got one right and when I got one wrong. I was actually hoping for more wrong answers. I ran, not walked, away from that date.

On another occasion, this time in a group, a woman asked me what my five year plan was. She wanted to hear “married with a baby” as that was here five year plan. When I didn’t answer correctly, I was immediately off her radar. It was like I no longer existed. She focused on other members of the group, completely ignoring me.

Kang, I had one of those once, though it wasn't quite as regimented. She was 39 when I was 32, she was a very successful doctor and in a hurry to get that baby. She loved the Porsche, not so much the guns, but we had fun for a little while. She was so consumed by her career, I don't know why she thought she had time for a kid. Anyway, we didn't last long, but she introduced me to a rich guy, whose drug co. she consulted for and he and I became great friends (he has a fleet of Ferraris and Porsches, so we hit it off right away). I ran into her at his house unexpectedly a year or so later and she looked pregnant, but I was afraid to ask for sure. A few mos. later my friend told me she had a little boy. I asked who the father was and he said she had gotten artificially inseminated!!!! Whew! She really wanted that baby. Glad I got out of that when I did.

People who converse in that style are as rude as someone who pulls their pants down and take a schit on the dinner table. When talk starts to go in that direction, you should give them no consideration whatsoever. Not even the time of day. Seriously.

I think you're all wrong. The girl at Starbucks was probably sick of her dead end job and was just asking some direct questions. Shoe size, yeah right, even with an "average across the board" girl in her 20s I call BS. This of course is all based on the way Thom describes his appearance - he's not going to be mistaken for someone with money.

[vash]

i am with david on this one.
no biggie. besides guys date for boobs, and ladies date for money..i mean security. you were not gentlemen enough to dress "income aware". so it is all your fault thom hot chicks you can spot across the room, they have no visual cue to our earning potential. love is a mean ugly beotch!

[scottmandue]

At first I was going to join in with the "what a rude B****" crowd but then you all started talking about ladies you have dated and it got me thinking.

I'm kind of like Thom, average looking, average income, only thing I got going for me money wise is I own my house (120K mortgage on a 500K house). Although I do have an above average sense of humor (I'm funnier in person than on the BBS... really!).

I have met and dated a few ladies that really enjoy my company and we even share some affection now and then but then I find out they are still on the lookout for a doctor/lawyer/rich guy to hook up with while using me for entertainment.

I would rather a woman be HONEST with me up front that she is only interested in money saving me from wasting my time and getting my feelings hurt down the road.

Also seems a little hypocritical for SOME of you guys to put down on women for going for what they want when you are only interested in women that look like super models.

You guys can kindly pass those hot, needy women this way... will pay finder's fee commensurate on level of hotness

[Rick Lee]

Motion, this thread would not at all be complete without your input. We need more than just that short post. Tell us some more stories!

[Superman]

Uh, Motion......your harem's not full? Like I said, I'd like to attend one of your parties.

Me? I'm fairly good looking but not tall or large. I'm frighteningly intelligent as you guys all know. I'm fairly confident and patient, and funny. My problem? I'm completely naive. I don't figure out when ladies are coming on to me until hours or days later. I'm quite single now and enjoying that, but probably a sitting duck with a bullseye paited on my chest.

should have ax'd her if she swallowed...

[vash]

funny timing. an ex of mine called me up awhile back. we broke up due to the fact that i moved to cali from texas, and to be honest, i didnt think she was going anywhere. hell, i didnt even know her major in college. it changed that often. she tried to move with me, and assumed i would support/marry her. she was hot, and could....do things...with..

anyways, she was having marital issues. apparently after me, she hooked up with a doctor. hispanic guy, they had a kid, and the second kid was on the way. the doctor guy doesnt come home anymore, and is cheating on her. there is danger in both camps. girls get security with guys that hold all the cards, and guys that date hot women can end up with aging not so hot, evil creatures. balance is KEY! i feel bad for my ex. she called me to "talk". i didnt feel bad enough to listen for that long.

wow...I'm honored. Touched. And maybe a bit aroused.

Thom, it must be phermones or something. I've been somewhat "on the hunt" for a year or so now, and never a conversation like that. I have had some outright rejections online, but I think it is due to my "complications" (divorce not final and have a kid) rather than other things.

I don't talk to 20-somethings though...I've got too much gray. Well, except for this one barista at Peets. I do chat her up, and I'm guessing she's 25 or so. Never mind...

The current g/f is an odd mix of boheim and world traveler. Doesn't care a hoot about money. Insists on paying at least half of the time. And she isn't rolling in dough. Well, unless her books get a sales spike or she sells a script. But then maybe I'll be toast

[speeder]

I think that he was refering to the ability to buy vehicles and take them to the track. It is worthy of admiration.

[motion]

God only knows he wasn't implying that we were good looking... well, except for Jack. Dang, Todd, YOU'VE BEEN PWNED!!!
