Toronto women: are they mostly all golddiggers?

[tboy]

What do they consider a 'struggle' though? Living outside their means? Trying to keep up with the jones' down the street?

I live my life by my rules and goals, not someone else's. I learned a LONG time ago that no matter who you are, or how much money you have, there is ALWAYS someone who has more........so there is NO use trying to compete.

Now what is struggling? Because they can't buy the jimmy chu's? Because they can't buy as many jeans as they want? To me, struggling is having to eat ketchup sandwiches because that is all you can afford..........

my view

First of all, every woman out there grew up with the expectation that some guy would come along one day and start paying all her bills. This is a completely foreign concept for men, but it is how women are raised. It applies to hot women and it applies to ugly women.

The only way to interact with women is to live for the moment. Never get hooked up permanently (ie. marriage or living with a woman). That way it doesn't matter if she is with you for money or not. When the the relationship ends, your money stays with you. A lot of men make the mistake of thinking that marriage is an emotional commitment. It is only a financial commitement and society is very clear that work is mandatory for men and optional for women and so the money is only going to flow one way.

I make quite alot of money myself. I wouldn't want a brain surgeon but what is wrong with wanting to date a banker or a lawyer?

Lots of bankers are unemployed right now, and a lot of lawyers just don't make much money. Is it about status then?

Also, a man with a good job and who is financially secure brings many other things to the table for himself then just money. He is goal driven, responsible, reliable just to name a few. For the most part anyway.

"good job" and "financially secure" are very vague and unspecific terms, they could mean whatever you want them to mean. Care to enlighten us? Most men aren't rich, are they automatically not goal driven, responsible, or reliable people? Based on credit, you'll have to marry a guy before you know how much money he really has anyways, as this is the age of credit where image is everything and anyone can finance an audi and a boss suit. On the other hand, a guy in jeans with a hard hat could be making over 100K but drive a mazda.

That's so old school, doesn't apply anymore. In fact I raised my girls, both adults now, to be completely independent, there is no waiting around for a guy in white shining armour, that's a fairy tale. All my friends colleagues raised their girls the same way, all got an education and for the most part make equal or more than their husbands or boyfriends. I know there are always exceptions, but not in my world any longer.

Actually, that's a really good point and I'm curious as to Kya's answer....

I think I know the answer but I'll give you my take on the subject:

I used to work in the trade show biz. Building exhibits, spending MILLIONS of dollars for a 3 day show. I got really jaded with the biz when I was in Miami a week after an HP dealer show. They built all the exhibits out of ply and 2 x 4s etc. After the show it was cheaper to bring in front end loaders and trash the whole thing. I had a nice title, good wages, well travelled, stayed in nicer hotels etc.

Well I tossed all that in for doing what I do now: I build things to last. I trim houses, build furniture, build custom kitchens. I was trimming a new house once and the family who bought it came by to see how things were going. They had a little boy and a girl about 5. I was working on her bedroom at the time. I showed her what I was doing, showed her her new closet, where her bed could go, etc. When I installed the casing around the door, I marked how tall she was on it. I said "when you move in, make another mark and then every birthday, put another one"......I knew that I was doing something important. This little girl would live in that room for years. I was finishing HER little place in the world (at least for a while).

Now I won't ever make a million dollars at it but I think what I did that day was far more valuable than what any banker, marketing exec, CEO does.....Oh sure, you could say the banker leant the family the money to buy the house, but HE will be soaking them for every penny he possibly can and if they stumble? They'll swoop down and put that little girl on the street.....

So, if someone wants to date a banker, go right ahead. But just remember: He'll without ANY hestitation, put families onto the street, take their homes, seize their property, and generally ruin the economy without any remorse for those families. Yeah, that's a great guy!!! perfect husband material.......

Judging by your handle and your attitude, I'm going out on a limb and predicting you've been burned before!

Keep in mind... that (as with all things) there are exceptions to the rules as well.

Mrs. CG left her good for nothing alcoholic mother at the tender age of 16. She did a variety of odd and part time jobs in order to support herself. She had 3 part time jobs when I met her at the age of 21 (She worked at 2 different stores in the mall and modeled part time for a wedding gown shop...). She had her own apartment and was totally self sufficient at the time... She wasn't making huge $$ or anything but when we started dating, she still treated me on occasion. When we moved in together she always paid half the rent and utilities etc... Even now she still pays for things much of the time. (Example- on Saturday I paid for the Hotel and entrance fee to X-club, and she paid the bar tab...) In fact, during our entire 20 years together the only time she hasn't worked is when she was at home raising our children when they were very young, and that was a decision we made together as well. She wanted to go back to work ASAP, but we ultimately decided it was in the best interest for our kids that at least one of us was at home with them... As soon as the kids were school age, though, she re-entered the work force so she could continue to contribute financially.

Many women may be of the mindset you describe in this thread... but please... women are mostly all golddiggers???

CG: I will hazard the guess that she didn't grow up in Toronto? (being as how your currently living in a nice(r) small town outside the danger zone?

No... you are right- she grew up in Hamilton, but when we first moved in together we lived in Mississauga for a year and then Scarborough for three. Is that close enough?

Like all women, Mrs. CG HATES breaking a nail! ;-)

You bastard!!!!!

 

[Cycleguy007]

I had one regular lady that came in... was a real shoe freak! Loved the high heels. I always though maybe she was a dancer or had a REAL lucky hubby... She didn't "look" like a stripper (with all due respect to our Lady Terbs), just a regular girl- real sexy and all but in regular clothes- she always wore a dress and when she tried on her shoes she always hiked her dress right up to see how they'd look with lots of leg showing! ;-) Of course I always got a great show! ;-).

She shaved her pussy and one summer she had a Playboy bunny tanning outline "tattoo" (not sure what you call it...) Is THAT your SO????
