Why do most women are so set on materialistic?

I personally am opposed to materialism, and I've always preferred the love and not money, and you can make life your own way and not force a man clinging to you, and I think that girls are materialistic only get a short live their with all the luxuries of life, but men give women money just will not ever settle with one woman and one day will be put aside and replaced with others, and will probably wake up to a fairly advanced age as hope that he would choose something, and without being taken in any way, on the other hand there are cases "happy" when the man comes to take their wives will always be .. just cheated ... how about option the girls get to walk with men older than their fathers and, is outrageous .... and yet we have one life ... why not enjoy the thrill that you give love, butterflies in stomach ! and in terms of money ... who really wants to achieve and make money is if you go head and hand work and results!

Not all women are materialistic. It all depends on the person. Money is a hot issue. Though there are some women who marry because of money it is because they don't believe in themselves and sort of lazy to make money on their own. Some women marry older than them it is because older men are mature and more responsible than younger ones. Some find same interests and goals. Women are naturally materialistic i guess but some are too excessive and others are just plain and simple.

They mostly emphasis on the money because they expect a security to their lives through out their living,for this they thought money is the one which gives security and so they emphasize more about money than the love they are getting.

Honestly, I am not one of those women, who are very materialistic. It's just not me. I'm not entirely sure why some women are like that. I think that some women just like to look good, and such. I definitely don't think they are all like that, but some are. I don't think that it's fair to say that all women are the same. Just like not all men are the same either.

Hi. When having a relationship you look into your future. Before entering into one you have to make sure that this guy can provide for you and your future family together and not the other way around, lol. Unless your the one who wants to provide for your boyfriend and future husband. Older guys are more financially stable than younger guys. Looks- they fade away, Love- they also fade away if you are always fighting specially when it comes to money matters. But if your both matured, secured financially, you can enjoy life together- dining, traveling and yes even shopping. Wouldn't you want that?

There may be a lot of materialistic women but i am not one of them . I love my husband as he is . Even if we don't have lots of money and can live luxuriously, we still love each other. In my opinion, those materialistic women have been poor all their lives, so they want a taste of how it is to have money, so they would choose older and moneyed men.

It's biological from thousands of years ago lol. Females look for providers that will take care of their offspring. It's about survival of the fittest. They need someone that can hunt and bring home the biggest mastodon because they are most vulnerable when they are bearing children. They have to look for the best providers to make sure they and their offspring are taken care of when they can't go out and hunt food for themselves.

i dont know if the result of this statistics speaks only about money.. In ancient time men were, in almost all cases,the older spouse. Many families forced marriage with the beautiful young daughter with an older man who could hold her with more comfortably. Seem the other side : the older men need the young female figure to prove to yourself that he can still satisfy a woman and deny to himself that he has aged. We also have to consider that older men want younger wives(with the exception of inteligent men)course. lol

I don't put any emphasis on money. I am glad when I have it but I don't over spend it or desperately try not to. Money does not matter to me in a relationship, it's having fun and loving the person that truly matters to me. I don't like women who are materialistic, I think it makes our gender look very bad.

Well, count me out. I, for one, am is not for the material things. I can live with almost nothing and can be happy about it. But, that depends, though, to the situation. If I can afford to buy myself the stuff that I need and a little luxury if allowed, why not? I will not deprive myself. But,just in case, we do not have money to spend, then, I can scrimp whatever we have. Yes, money is important, to everyone, in or not in a relationship. Why? What would you do without it? Love alone can not feed you. Besides, it is not just women who are after the material things. There are also men whose priority is to gain more wealth. Reasons? It could be they were so materially deprived before that when they got the chance to finally have it, they seize it. Or , money is the most important thing for them. Without it, they can not survive or exist.

Well, I don't think most women are, at least not most women I know, but I guess it also depends on where you live. I think generally mostly lazy people think like this. I would prefer to make my own money over getting it from some guy any day and I hope most non-lazy girls think the same :)

Because they (woman) thik that they can npt live without money wealth, glamorous lifestyle... so i think mopst of woman relied of that things (materialistic).

some woman are materialistic and many also are don't, if a woman wants an older guy it doesn't mean that she is after his money, there's some woman that are attracted to older man like how sometimes older woman like younger man. I think much more woman still consider love than money.

Love alone can't feed you or your family once you get married. This might be the reason why women consider a well off man to be a partner. I don't call it materialistic, I call it practical. For me, it's a man's responsibility to climb up the social ladder and become a good provider to get a good woman to establish a family.

In my opinion, because women think of all needs, so it looks great importance on money. Women spenders and spending items that are not necessary, which is often concerned with money.

I can not now speak of myself, my life partner because I do not choose for the money, but I think there are many different reasons. * a nice nest for the children to have * to yourself not to touch the finger like a princess and be treated (often believe are already spoiled children have been) * a "father figure" have to protect one can * perfectly ordinary greed:) As I said, not all women are!

As a woman, I say: Yes. most of it that way. But not all. For me and surely many other women are more likely the person is even important. I myself was once a young man together, the eig "nothing" had. (If one takes it so hard now.) But I did not leave because he had nothing, no, but he had left me (if you're interested.) But yes. there are such women as you describe it.

If the employer pays miserable woman has just come in any other way of money. Banks has attacked no solution, apart from the fact that there are many more women than banks. Then shut up but rather of the mandatory Traumman: 90 years old,a million in the bank and 42 degrees fever ..

i think, to be honest, i would prefer not to make a judgment on women that they are all so materialistic on the basis of a few statistics that say that more women marry men who are older than them, than marry men who are younger. there could be many other reasons for that too,such as social pressure, or preference. as i had a younger man take an interest in me recently, and i was completely thrown by it, it just felt weird. but i think that is social pressure, as he had a whole lot more money than a few older men i have met. i also think that it is quite likely that men often marry women because of their earning power or social status too. i think the question might be better phrased as "why are people so materialistic" and then we could have a very interesting discussion.

Women see all these celebrities and try and base their own life around it. It's not right. This is real life! Not a fairy tale. You can't have everything handed to you on a silver platter.
