He's perfect...except I wish he were richer?

[Junket]

College is overrated.

College qualifies you to be an admin assistant.

Let me ask you all this: would you be completely happy with a woman who is otherwise perfect, but physically sub-par by your standards?

Yes Barbie. Looks aren't everything.

You're wrong. I've known couples who have broken up solely because of money. How much we make may be "more than necessary" for you and your standards and living conditions, but it's really not that much where we live, even though neither of us are big spenders. Are you able to understand that income, rent, and the price of living varies?

I know people who've broken up solely because they didn't get along anymore. The money argument is totaly besides the point. What the hell do you expect from life? Life long stability? That's not how it works.

Are you able to understand that life has it's ups and downs. Companies lay off people, close down, downsize, go bankrupt, you name it. Economies fluctuate.

So if you guy is going to be laid off and has a hard time finding another job, you gona dump him like a rock?

I came here to see if I could get fresh insight from people who didn't personally know me, but obviously you are one of the idiotic, close-minded, prone-to-judgment people who have been nothing but rude and unhelpful.

Correction: you didn't find the support you expected to find for your totaly unreasonable views and ideas.

You seriously expect life to be going exactly the way you want it don't you? That sounds very controlling and is going to be your downfall.

You can NOT control the economy, you can NOT control which jobs will be available 1, 2, 5, 10 years from now. For all you know, 2 years from know you can count your blessings if you have a job as a Walmart greeter, considering how wonderfull the economy is going.

What are you going to do then?

You have unreasonable expectations and need a serious reality check. Financial security the way you envision it, doesn't exist. Bottom line.

That sounds awesome.

I always found it funny that parents want to put their kids through college.

Why?

What for?

What do you want them to be that you're already planning to put them through college?

Hell, why can't they just pay for college themselves should they even decide to go in the first place?

[ecojeanne]

college is good for people who are interested in learning something new and hopefully use that info and apply to real life, however i do think that college in some countries have a way of brainwashing people into thinking one way only. while some other colleges expand the mind.

it's both good and bad just depends what one learns and who they study with.

Yet how many of you have been attracted to a woman's physical assets and decided to get to know her and have a relationship with her?

That's like asking how many people breath air. You I take it were attracted to your partner's physical assets as well, it's not like you are dating a bold, obese 73 year old, so your comparison is invalidated.

What some posters are pointing out is a kind of hypocrisy in your perception. You make a lot less than what you want your partner to make, it is hypocritical to expect from him what you can't make yourself. If you were really concerned about his career aspirations or future money required for a family I would have an easier time understanding you, lacking that it seems like all you want is just a bigger amount of money to spend on yourself, using his financial assets for self gain. Don't be surprised that this kind of attitude is not welcomed with open arms by the posters.

her love would also be unconditional if you were rich or sexy. but... let's just face the truth here.

In choosing a partner men like beauty and women like money.

[ecojeanne]

erm no lesa, men like beauty (shaped to bear children) and women like protection

money ain't protection

[lesa]

That, ecojeanne, was a generalization...almost like your statement. Come on--stay with me. It's 2009. Translate.

yes it was a generalization just like my statement...and?..are you another girl that thinks money is protection then?

Actually, I did find some good advice on here. The kind of financial security that I want may not exist for you, but it certainly is possible for me.

Is your reading comprehension level lower than normal? I have stated REPEATEDLY that I pay for my own things, make my own money, and don't need or want to spend his money, but that I want to be able to afford to send my kids to college in the future.

well good luck, i do hope you find happiness and a sense of security..i mean who doesn't want that?...we were just pointing out; it can't be planned especially with the dynamic economic evironment we live in. hopefully your delusions will come true. i hope you stick with your guy too, he sounds great altho he may deserve someone better than you. but hey maybe you will live happily ever after
