Or really you do not find it related to being attracted to a person and all that matters is the physical attributes? What about you, honestly.. do you sometimes wish to have a rich partner, or do you sometimes wish to have a boyfriend or girlfriend who is financially able more than a boyfriend or girlfriend who is physically attractive?

to be honest, i dont find men and women with money that attractive. in fact, most of the time these people are more arrogant than the common because they are more likely to be tempted to boss around because they have something that a lot of people dont have. although not all are like that. there are still those rich people who are down to earth. but i think they are rare to find.

That is really true.. I am agree with you hushi..They are not attractive and the good one is rarely to find. Arrogant and ego the rich men and women tend to carry those two. That is what I always see and it happened in front of my eyes. It is very difficult to see them respect to others. I hope I won't be that way if I get rich someday..(^^)

Hi there hushi, I am the same with you, i think that most men who are arrogant probably have had a rough life so they try to hide this by being arrogant and bostful of what they eventually gained over time. I know a lot of rich men too and some of them are really nice boys and is very gentleman. one is even very given when it comes to sharing food, and even treating us whenever there is an occasion, For me, i still prefer someone who is family centered and is a good person overall - with a job, hard working and kind. He does not need to be rich but then we will just work for what we want when we become a couple. hehe

hi there cthanum: so long as you keep yourr feet grounded and values intact, i think even if you becomee really rich, you would not be the type to become arrogant. sometimes arrogance does come from someone's weakness being hidden. For men, it can be arrogance, but some women who's got the money can be mean at times... hehe

I think a man who knows what he wants to do, who is kind, consistent with his actions, who does good deeds is attractive. If a person like that were to have money or be more financially stable that would be great as well. I feel if a person is trying to find this it takes a little time. Generally for most people to reach this it means working hard. So a person would have to be patient and probably be a few years older in order for the partner they are looking for to have such stability. I think a lot of time we overrate money, the reason i say this is because many people spend so many years trying to acquire it so they can do whatever it is they were hoping, and then realize that they have lost so much time: time with family, friends, trying to make awhole lot of money.

Hi there!!! Your assumption, what you said here is true, in general, someone who has money actually does imply a whole of things about a person as well, when they were trying to acquire this money it seemed that the are hardworking too, they are focused at their goals and they know what they want and this tells us they strived for the things they want in life and with this comes their attitude towards things that they are someone who strive to get what they want and they are patient, careful and is a responsible person too. It is true that when you have met this kind of person and then when they have moneyy and is able to save for themselves and become stable it becomes an additiional bonus for the would be partner. =) thank you so much for your rresponse. have a great day!!

oh yes, i think there is some truth in this... when a relationship was built on a foundation other than love, trust and respect it can always fail - there are so many reasons why it won't work.

this is an interesting question. somewhere in the bible, sorry cant remember where, it might be in proverbs, the writer asks god, and i paraphrase, to make him neither too rich, nor to poor. thats sound about right for what you would want from someone. as people who are too rich can be too arrogant, and obsessed with money and status, whereas being poor can make a relationship difficult. however, this rule has not worked in my own life, so don't believe a word i say.

hi there francesca. that is true, sometimes too much of everything is indeed not appropriate, not right and not what should be the case. true, we have got to see beyond the happiness money can bring to us. we should take care of our heart more than we do the cravings of our mind (to have material things, own the latest gadget, and so on.)
14 Aug 11
i think in reality it is the person that matters, and we should look beyond superficial things like how much they earn.
14 Aug 11
I think it depends on the person. Some men with money are very attractive but its not the money that makes them attractive to me - its their personality and their looks. (Looks shouldn't matter but a beautiful man will turn my head.) It may sound strange but if a man is rich this can actually be a problem. I fell for a handsome, funny and clever man who happened to be rich. He was very arrogant and proud. He spent so long going on about his wealth and getting obsessed with it that I couldn't get to him somehow and we split up. He did my head in and broke my heart. If you find someone who is gorgeous in every way and has money too then it is a bonus but its not what love is about in my opinion.

hi there! hehe oh yeah, i always admire men who are good looking and physically attractive. Actually when you are in a public place, you would initially be attracted to how he carries himself, how he walks, confidence and his face (if handsome)... it is just secondary and we would even form an idea in our heads of what he probably is... when a person dresses well, sometimes we would think oh he is probably rich... who knows how he has paid his clothes? :D haha And yeah, i agree with you on this, when someone is handsome, who has a good personality and is rich.. wow then that is really your blessing! :D

Yes, but attractive is different with good looking. I will be attracted to them but i wouldn't still find them good looking unless they really are. But if you have a lot of money, it can be fixed.

Hi! At first sight, I find guys who are neat and clean to be attractive. Also tall guys. They get more attractive to my eyes if I see them driving a car. I must admit, I like guys with decent work and stable job, so I guess that would mean stable source of money? I think it's part of me being practical. And I think that's natural nowadays? Life is difficult nowadays when you don't have a job.

hehe secretbear! you are really funny with your response here! but i appreciate the honesty. sometimes though we all get to turn our heads and follow a guy where he would walk into (if he has a parked car), right? I would of course agree with you on this. If you want to be stable and want someone who is stable financially though then that is what you want - perhaps no one should be judging you on that, besides you only want to secure your future, who would want to be living with a lazy guy with no work and no intention of helping you out, right? these kind of people can never be attractive to most, if not all people.
16 Aug 11
I think money helps, even if just on an instictual level (knowing that they can support you, provide good security for offspring etc) rather than on a conscious level. It would certainly be nice to have a wealthy partner, but i don't think you should overlook other attributes such as personality or physical attractiveness, and i don't think you should reject someone just due to lack of money either. birdie -

hi natasha, thank you for your response. i guess this is really why we look at men with money differently. because maybe knowing that a person has become successful we associate their success with the personality and traits that we think is the rreason why one has reach his status. :D Yes, it is good to have a partner that does have the money to support you, but i agree that others are as important, or even more important.

If my husband gets rich, that would be better. But to me, no, I think being wealthy is not that important for as long as he is hardworking and a good provider for the family. My husband is neither super rich and super handsome but to me he's just the best. We are happy even if we don't have much. He's faithful and hardworking even if he does not look like Orlando Bloom :)

Hahaha :D I will of course want that in my partner. I do love him for whoever he is right now.. but its better for sure if he'd get rich and then we'll get married, i know he'll make me his queen. ;) he he But of course, it is always better for a man to be faithful, loving, above anything else.

That depends where does they're money come from. I mean there are a hell lot attractive people with money I'm sure but most of these beautiful people are probably just lazy trustfund babies who depended on their parents will to have gold credit cards and such. This is NOT attractive at all. I don't like these kind of people. I find people with ambition and strive to earn money for themselves who are capable of being financially independent and have financial growth. These are people who want to be self made and I think this is what's attractive for me.

hi mewpeach, this concern was raised previously by another mylotter. you do have the same point as her as to where the money came from - from hard work - that would be really attractive, if everyone knows it was from wrong doings or corruption then it is not very attractive but you would probably want to stay away from such a guy. Ambitions, a guy who is responsible, strives hard and knows what he wants... always wins as what we girls want to see in our partners. :D

It doesn't really matter if they have the money or not as long as my feelings for that girl is strong, I'd go for her. I am satisfied with my partner, she's not rich, she's not the prettiest girl around, but she's the prettiest girl in my heart and I am very lucky to have her. I never wished for anything more.

hi goggles, what you shared is really very touching. i know you do love her for who she is and what she is to you. I am sure she is the same for you too. In our discussion, i would say that perhaps we all have missed out the non material and the non physical things... we overlooked them at times in search for our successes. But at the end of the day, what matters really is our character and what our heart tells us...
17 Aug 11
Well I don't find it attract because most of the boys I've seen with money are so stuck up and rude. And sometimes they are so in love of their selves. So for me it doesn't matter much, As long as they are happy,hard working and make the effort to be in my life then I don't care much about money. But then again, it would be nice to have some money to support himself, maybe have some to take me on dates and things...

hi charley, sorry to hear that most of those guys with money that you have met in the past have shown signs of being disrespectful. i'm glad i haven't had an encounter such as this and most of those i have know were really nice and friendly. Back to the discussion, i guess that is correct- so long as the person is happy with the kind of guy he choses, then that is her decision, right?

The truth is a person with money seem to become attractive because they can do things with their body to make it attractive. They can also buy stuff that can make them more appealing. Perhaps the most important trait money can buy is confidence. People with confidence look really attractive.

hi fragab, this is a good point. when one has money he is rarely shy.. as he know he has nothing to be shy and scared of because he has money and he can use his money in just about anything he wants to do.

No I don't because if a man is rich and has zero sense of humor and can't take a joke then he'll be boring. I rather be with someone who love adventures and fun and has a sense of humor.

Hi there! Some rich men do have some humor in them, but they can be really serious and hard to be with. i know some who aren't as adventurous, and they are picky when it comes to going to places and eating or dining at restaurants. :D

Today, most of the girls I know would often prefer guys who has money than guys who is almost near to their ideal guys. I asked them why. They told me, for security reasons. I can't blame them though because money today is as important as your life. Love can't feed you but money can get you food. This is going to be a long debate. LOL

That is so true, i was once even told that girls do look for security in their relationships. may it be financial security or emotional security (thus many girls also want a mature guy.) it just all come together when it comes to matured guys, majority are established already, and they are way ahead those that are younger than them. I agree, money is indeed important and its quite hard to have no expenses when you go out of your house! everything has to be paid for!!!

Yes,this is a materialistic world,you don't have money,then you are not financially free,many people just don't behave properly or dress properly not because they don't want to just because they don't have the money,and especially in China,money is very much important because girls tend to look for spouse who have houses and cars,actually this just can not guarantee them to live a good life,but people always afraid to live a poor life.
@chiyosan (30183)

Many are afraid of being poor, many are just not ready to live life and suffer because this world as you have said has turned so materialistic and it is almost always part of our lives, to own houses, cars, cellular phones, computers and stuff. And yes, it is true that people do not have everything not because they don't want them but because they cannot have them and they do not have the means to get what they want. It is true that people who are with money are more attractive because they can dress themselves well, and you see them physically fit and clean and well dressed - that is what the physical attraction is all about, right? But i guess eventually when you see them often and you get to know them, their likes and their dislikes that is where you get to decide if you would want your feelings for the person to be developed.

I don't think so... It doesn't mean that they have money they are already attractive.. I think real attraction comes from within... That's also one of the reasons why some fall in love with those who don't have the wheels.. Money is just a bonus.
@chiyosan (30183)

Funny you talked about "men with wheels" I remember on several instances where we see a very attractive and beautiful woman walking holding hands with a not so attractive man... then you would joke that he probably has a beautiful car. =P and on some instances they do have expensive cars! I agree that attractiion comes from within, yes that is tre, i fall in love with a person not with what i see physically but what i feel. Yes lucky is a woman/man that he should get the man and woman he /she loves that is full of good personality plus (+) the money. heheh

In a weird way there is something about money that makes a moneyed person attractive.It could be the clothes, or the car,or the person's ability to have the power to go to high-end places and buy anything. Money has a certain "pull" to it.
@chiyosan (30183)

Hmm, probably yes.. but not so weird anymore. Its like the song of beyonce... she sung that girls run the world! But i think money does! when you have money it would be easy to do things, have things, make people do things, and normally those with cash can almost get away with anything!

hi there! its right, we can never be sure, and ultimately when one is here with us we are then just focused on what we see instantly but i believe over time it can be developed, like first impressions sometimes do not last as what we all think... being practical though is important, we can not always be the hopeless romantic that we all have yearned to be. there are probably more frogs than princes in the world. :P
