Do u find men with money attractive?

[tennisgirl]

Depende yan sa tumitingin. Kung yung girl ay materialistic, kahit pangit or matanda yung guy, syempre attractive. Marami akong kilalang babae na pumatol sa mga matandang lalake (kahit may asawa na) basta may pera lang.

Para sa akin, yes it's one factor that makes a man attractive especially kung pinaghirapan nya. Pero syempre hindi naman yung matanda, pangit or married na.

question, how much money ba ang tinutukoy niyo para masabing "with money" yung guy?

[TysLolakins]

if they're not pleasing to all my 5 senses, then a definite no, kahit gaano siya kayaman.

For me basta di ako inuutangan or nagpapalibre sa kin lagi (dumadami ang ganyang guy juicekolerd,sipa agad pagganyan). Naidi-date ako kahit once a month lang. At walang nagkalat na utang si guy kung saan-saan. May naka-save na money kahit papaano, di naman need na milyones ang savings niya pero siguro yung kaya kami i-sustain ng 3-6mos. That's just me bro, mababaw lang naman happiness ko e.

[mmporni]

with money ok lang.. pero pag attractive kahit mag isaw lang kami sa tabitabi ok na..

[piatos]

practically, yes den naattract ako sa madiskarte at masipag like my crush pero hindi niya ako type 

[amethyst028]

of course plus factor naman talaga ang guy who is financially stable. some girls are being practical and they look for this certain quality ng guy. i have a friend who is like this. she would only date guys who are financially stable.

but at the end of the day it's about love and connection. if you don't agree on many things and if your personality doesn't jive kahit siguro sa palasyo ka pa niya itira it will still feel like hell.

[kvandenhaak]

Not necessarily. Kasi mapera nga pero supladito naman, wag na lang. I met a guy before who is just 5-7 years old. Definitely loaded. He has a small outsourcing business in Makati and would like to meet a Filipino girl who could stay long in both Canada and the Philippines without issues. I mean, nice catch sana pero walang spark. Di naman panget kaso his money is not enough for me to agree to date him. The current guy I am dating IS definitely financially stable pero gwapo naman at matangkad.

I find men who know how to handle money attractive. That's actually one of the traits that I really admire about my boyfriend. As early as now, he already has real estate investments, has his own land and a farm - managed to achieved all of these with his own money. He inspires me to do better when it comes to my finances

[mysterioza_me]

^Same tayo sis, mas magaling din humawak and magmanage ng finances boyfie ko kaya may mga properties na din siya and ipon. Nagi-start na din ako mag-invest kasi ayaw ko magpahuli sa kanya. Nagkaroon ako ng will na mag-ipon and to invest dahil sa kanya .

[xtine]

When I was younger, I never mind about the guy's money that much as long as he is guwapo. 

But then as I grow older, I find guys who are masinop and has has savings is a huge turn on.  Most esp those that can afford probably because I view a real man as somebody who take responsibility to support the wife, just like when men find women with big butts as fertile. 

Don't take me wrong, I am very independent and earn probably more than enough.  But there's still a huge turn on if a partner is taking the responsibility to provide you even if you can. 

[hisana]

Marami akong nae-encounter na guys na pasimpleng magyabang na may pera sila, na para bang Im supposed to be impressed or something. This actually turns me off slightly.

[kvandenhaak]

Money is a fringe benefit but definitely not the first thing I look for in a guy. If he is not swimming in debt, has a decent job at hindi bulagsak sa pera then he is fine. I met a guy before that's a good catch, if money is the only thing to consider. Pero walang spark. Pag hindi ko ma-imagine kissing a guy then ayoko.

LOL... I can relate...

Gusto ko sa lalaki hindi maitim, pero ngayon ang itim itim na ng husband ko due to regular swimming and cycling. Pero asawa ko na eh... Paliguan ko na lang ng bleach...

Re: thread

Attracted ako sa financially literate and skilled... I met hubby when he was bankrupt due to a failed business. That was his first venture. Eleven years after, all is well... Thank God...

[TysLolakins]

money is not one of the variables that initially attracts me to the opposite sex.       i'm in the minority here i guess.  if i fall for a guy whose only flaw is having no money or is not financially savvy, i'm still ok.  so having no money by itself is not a deal breaker for me.  if i'm attracted to somebody,  it's because it's mutual and initially based on the combination of looks and character.
this is a quote from grandpa george (CATCF movie) that i think uses the same analogy concerning money. just replace 'ticket' with 'man' and 'five' to 'one'.
"There's plenty of money out there. They print more and more every day. But that 'ticket'? There are only 'five' of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be! Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy??"

[glamorosa_09]

i'm in the minority here i guess.  if i fall for a guy whose only flaw is having no money or is not financially savvy, i'm still ok as long as he has honor and integrity.  so having no money by itself is not a deal breaker.

Hmmm... But as I think about it, what are the possible reasons for having no money? Disability, laziness, generosity (he gave it all away)?

Money or the lack thereof can a be a reflection to one's character (e.g., hardworking vs laziness, greed vs generosity, goal-driven vs contentment).

Anyway, to each his/her own naman... And there are female breadwinning marriages that work naman, albeit some were thrust into that situation.

[TysLolakins]

^i interpreted the thread question to imply  that the guy is so rich that's the only thing going for him,  like yung mga DOM preying on impressionable young women.  i think i focused on that one.
to me, having no money means he's not swimming in cash and not financially savvy means he doesn't have a head for business, yun lang.  i actually edited my reply,  previously i had there before 'he has to have honor and integrity' if he's lacking on business acumen.  so that's implied that he earns an honest living.
i guess my reply makes it sound like it's ok to have a bum for a husband.  it's not, trust me,  it's the farthest from it.   

[glamorosa_09]

^Oh okay... Thanks for the clarification... Clear now...

Baka "no money" was an idiomatic expression na hindi ko alam.

I was thinking kasi from your unedited post, paano yun, we can't eat honor and integrity... LOL! But like what I've mentioned, female breadwinning works for others.

the short answer: YES
the long answer: NO

In pre-civilization, us women desired the strongest, most muscular, and toughest men in the tribe -- thephysical qualities. We wanted men who can provide and protect. Physical strength meant these men can hunt for food and defend us from other tribes.

As society has evolved, our needs have also evolved. We are no longer 'hunters and gatherers.' Rather, our survival of the fittest as defined today is based on intelligence. We are in a brainy, nerdist, culture hence men like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates -- the nerds -- are the ones who are successful, and thus, appealing to most women.

However, we humans are complex beings. It's not as simple as plain money versus personality. When we meet a person for the first time, we do not know anything about them at all. We simply judge by appearances. A man who is dressed well, carries himself elegantly with good manners and speaks eloquently would strike me as a successful man (with money). So yes, I am attracted to that, after all, I do not want a man who will become a financial burden to me. However, to me that is not enough, nor is it a deal breaker (in reverse). He might have all the money in the world but if he's got no personality, I'd be calling it quits very quickly. Manners, values, principles and a good heart -- these are more important to me than money.

In reverse, if I have known a guy long term and I love his personality, but somehow he is CURRENTLY broke, I'd still go for this guy. This is true when you meet someone in college or at work and you somehow get to know each other as you 'grow' with the person...  Syempre if I know a guy and I know masipag sya, hardworking, I can see that he will try to help me achieve our financial goals as a future couple -- then I know I can bet my future with him. Even if it fails, he has the best personality that fits mine, and I'll be happy. That's because I have had the privilege of KNOWING him already and becoming attracted to more elements about him than meets the eye.

TL; DR; I won't be attracted to a RICH bum with no personality (trust fund baby) but I won't mind a simple joe with ambitions.  I won't discount either one of them too --  a man born to wealth and does not have to work hard is, but has a very good heart is just as good as hardworking simple joe with a good heart.

[kvandenhaak]

There's no straight answer kasi with this question. Eh mayaman nga kaso parents pala yung mayaman. If he doesn't have the skill and education and that same passion as his parents, he still falls under the freeloader category. If he's currently broke because his business venture wasn't successful. If he has plans in place and working on getting on his feet again, that's totally fine. So bottom line is it still depends on what kind of a man he is.

Eh pero yung mga lecheng lalake na ang lakas ng loob magpalibre sa Tim Horton's on first meeting as if I am so desperate, di bale na lang. I swear, they exist.  Magda-drugs na lang ako...lol!
