Hello friends
this has been very confusing for me .. well i have come across realtionships .where money played an important role .i have seen both guys and gals leave their respective partener whom they were in love with for a rich person ..and they dont even regret it . well to be honest i do know tht today money is very much necessary .. iam nt saying tht everybody can be bill gates bt yes it is important .. bt do u choose ur life partenr just on the basis of that . if the initial factor for choosing a life partener is money . then we should nt play with other emotions .Guys and Gals do lemme know your opinions regarding this ..

Hello...
I haven't had a partner yet, LOL, but I won't make that the SOLE thing that I would look for. It's true that it's important to have a financially stable partner, so that your future would somehow be secure. But it doesn't mean that you have to rely on your partner only for the finances. It is important that both parties are working. Money is essential, but not THAT important that you're gonna ditch him/her for a richer one. I think that is being utterly shallow and greedy. Money usually tops the list of causes of broken relationships.

A friend of mine was engaged to this girl, and she wore the engagement ring for while. After a couple of months of their engagement, the girl choosing another one. A richer one to marry with. A broken heart with my friend, and that is the reality I guess.

Love should of course come first - we all know that. Next should be compatability and the ability to easily communicate with each other. But I'm not going to lie to anyone, money does matter. Not that you have to rich or super successful, but rather self-sufficient. One of the number one reasons people split up is when financial difficulty sets in so both partners should be reasonably self sufficient.
Good luck.

for me you can't have the true love WITHOUT FIRST being compatible and have communication...but thats just me..

The secret is girls don't really know what they want. In my opinion, I never really measured liking a guy based on money. Sure, it is nice to get treated on fancy dinner and night outs but that doesn't matter when the guy is a jerk. Girls just want sincerity... knowing that the guys' intentions are pure, meaning they don't hang around for some other motive. We just want guys to be true to their feelings and stand and commit by it.

Hello Rahul
I would never choose based only on money, but no one wants to support someone who is simply lazy, either.
I think most girls want someone honest, strong, caring, and compatible with them as far as intimacy, interests, and important beliefs go.

hi friend not all the relations are made for money they are few who do that.....even the things appear to be in a wrong sense we look at....and up to my knowledge love, affection and care towards her may me the most convening..for them..even decisions change from one to one but not all are like what you said

Very well said my friend. I also think that the relationship like can't be established on the basis of money. Yes you can enjoy with someone if you have enough money but it is very difficult to find a true life partner using the power of money. Well there are still some people who can find such relationship on their power of money but they are very few in number. Just imagine the stability of these relationship based on money. So you said it right Mr. Rahul. Have a nice day.

bt do u choose ur life partenr just on the basis of that
Any guy or girl who chooses a partner based on how much money they have is nothing more than a fool who will NEVER find true love or happiness....
What do girls want in a guy? Depends on the girl...I PERSONALLY always only wanted a guy who would love me completely, respect me, could deal with my issues, someone I could talk to for hours on end about everything and nothing..a guy that I can laugh with and cry with...someone with similar tastes, likes and hobbies etc BUT also different ones...someone who accepts and loves me for who I am deep down to my soul..All I ever wanted was someone that loved me heart and soul, who would tell me if I was doing wrong and support me when I'm doing right..one that never ridiculed me or would ever try to change me into a person I'm not....Someone that when I'm with them...its just right wiht no questions needed..We just KNOW we were meant to be ya know
BUT....THATS JUST ME..
as for money...well sure I've always wanted a guy who could support himself but NEVER one who could support me..I'm capable of doing that on my own thanks

It depends on the girl really. Me personally, I want respect, attention, unconditional love and communication.

Money and emotions are two very different things. If these people you have seen leave their "loved" ones for a richer person then they were never in love in the first place. Love it self overcomes every boundary.
As for what a girl looks for in a guy... Well it depends on the girl, some are very empty and just want to be spoiled, then there are the ones that want more than just "money", perhaps they want stability, security and a guy that can make strong decisions and has the ability to protect his woman.
It all depends on the girl, each person is a whole different world, you will be surprised how different every one of us is.

Hello Rahul,
I do hope you find your other half. To be honest, I dont think we really know what we want. What is important one day, isnt that much the next. We have to deal with hormones you know? The most important thing is that you have a space to yourself where you can hide when those hormones start going up and down haha!!
Ive been with the same man for .....I think its 32 yrs now but dont quote me on that, Im bad with dates. We met while I was still married to a drunk...married 6 months I might add. We got along, we liked the same things and although the road has been rocky as hell, we're still together. I couldnt tell you what the secret is or what I was really looking for or still am looking for. I know he's there for me and Im there for him, no matter what the situation is.
Hope that helps!!

The same emotion I have on the perspective of our society nowadays. I have no offenses for girls, and I do know that some girls really do fall in love, and pursue the love they seek. But this type of girls are less and less today. More I see girls are searching for the gold mine. It is realistic, and I have to accept the truth. Life is life. We all have our goal in lifetime. For me, money is not the important factor. I would choose the one I love.

well if money is your basis for choosing your partner then that is not call love at all. yes we should be practical but not to extent we priority money over the love. money is really important because how can a man support his family if he is not capable of providing the needs of his family. this is one of the causes of many marital issues and even beak ups.
but again, money should not be our priority cause money can not buy happiness and love. for me, what matters is the man's attitude towards life. if he is positive towards life and have faith in God anything is possible. his determination as well is important. if he is determined in life, he worked hard and then he will be a good provider.
again, its case to case basis. not all men can be a good provider even if he works so hard till he almost die. he just do not have the luck i guess.

The female beings can be unpredictable at times but my advice to the one left is that, even if she left him, why not that she would come back? He has to not give up and think its over just because she left him. I think I would give it more time before I decide that it is finally over. Girls are known for being not serious when it comes to relationships and even some mothers neglect their children and find another man which is disgusting. From these views, I observe that girls do not care about what is wrong and right at all, they are very selfish and seems like their parents never told them lessons on how to be a good girl. With the question of they were merely reflecting the behaviors of their husbands, that is further blatant. Is it justifiable to find another man just because your hubby never texted or talked to you for a day? What if he has speech disorder, an unknown disease that the media even fails to depict accurately in the television series? I guess that women these days are expecting more of what men can do. They do not like a 6 footer but instead a 9 one figuratively speaking. And how would the "shorter" and rejected guy feel about it? He would say its crazy. He would think and wonder whether he would find a woman that will accept him. So this is my view of women today. Their wish is always hard to come by and never its even maddening sometimes. Thank God the poor guys have a lot of patience.
