Men of Modest Means vs Rich Guys

[BiG_WeaselParticipant 116]

Got into a discussion on a forum I frequent about how men of modest means make better boyfriends & husbands. I’d seen posts of other guys telling how the “rich guys” always land the women. How the nice car, new shoes, nice watch/clothes were what they were told women were after. Status, it seemed, was more important that being genuine.

I argued they (the women in question) have it all wrong. A rich guy can take you out to dinner, and the expense is nothing to him. To modest-earning guy (We’ll use the abbreviation MEG), this this is a big deal. He *wants* to treat you well, to spoil you to the best of his ability. The MEG has two finite resources at his disposal- time and money, and when he chooses to spend either of those on you, he is demonstrating interest, intent and loyalty.

Oftentimes, the MEG has little in the way of possessions, I argued, and so he puts more value on friendships and relationships than the rich guy, who’s sycophantic circle of acquaintances is there merely to gather the scraps from his table- and he knows it. When the cash is gone, they are as well. That’s why he has very few close friends, or lasting romantic relationships. I stated that MEGs will often go out of their way to demonstrate the importance of the relationship, as their currency is adoration, affection, love and companionship.

While, yes, its important that a MEG pay his bills, and be able to hold his own, don’t discount hard-working guy simply on the strength of his bank account. Making investments into the lives of those you care about, of who you could build a life with, is the portfolio of the MEG. And, to my mind, that’s the wiser investment.

I don’t know, man. The reason rich guys land the girls is because women don’t want a nice loving man, they want a rich man. I don’t know if MEGs are more genuine, but it would seem that way:playing up their strengths because money is a weakness for them. Of course, women can tell you anything, tell you they don’t care about money. They are lying.

Money is the best aphrodisiac for women, you can be short, ugly, but if you have money that’s their meal ticket.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

A rich guy will become a MEG very quickly after hooking one of those tarts.

Let the women leave the real MEG alone so he can enjoy his hard earned cash so he can pay by the hour the only honest women alive today.

I knew a guy who had a couple of thriving service businesses and over the years also bought vacant commercial properties around town. You’d never guess he was relatively wealthy as he usually always had a faint smell of diesel fuel on his lightly soiled clothing. He worked very hard from dawn until dusk for everything he had. He never wasted his money on women. He never went to college. I never knew him to date anyone. For that, he was very lucky man.

they want a rich guy because they want the divorce lottery ticket.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

I like your post. Nice sentiment; it strikes at the heart of what *should* be the case in any decent relationship: being together through common ground, not one person being with the other due to reasons of resource.

…however, I believe I’m more likely to see a f~~~ing unicorn.

Society: I refuse your stick and carrot. If you try to beat or shame me you'd better take me down first time. If I want smoke blown up my ass I'll buy a cigar and a length of hose.

The richest guys I know all live very modestly. It’s how they become rich. And stay rich.

Those so-called Rich Guys don’t realize how poor they actually are. Sure they got money to impress women but what do they got to show for it? Alimony, Child Support, STD’s and False Rape Allegations are just some of the possible outcomes from spending too much time and money on women. Why don’t they build or invent something with that money to have a legacy? How many men are remembered for wasting money on women? Those men aren’t the ones who change the world or make history. Those men are just another statistic in the relations~~~ and divorce racket.

I live the life I love and I love the life I live.

But that’s just it: the ones who try to use money to impress women don’t stay rich (assuming they ever were).

Its like most women are too stupid to understand how wealth works. They see rich people on tv and think rich people all live a Hollywood lifestyle…only what they don’t realize is how many of those types of people end up broke once they fall out of the limelight and aren’t raking in huge bucks anymore because of that. You can be broke but have the lifestyle and it works for them.

Meanwhile the truly wealthy are the ones that live off the gains of what they have accumulated and are free to do with their lives as they please rather than be stuck punching a clock 40 hours a week at a job they hate just to buy the necessities.
