[quote=Lonely_Sojourner][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don’t have a ton of respect for men who can’t meet me as even a semi equal in terms of what options we have available to us.[/quote]

So you have contempt for people who aren’t wealthy. Eww.[/quote]

Not at all. Is it possible that over time I could have contempt for a man who doesn’t have the drive or intelligence I do? Sure. Is it likely that yet another weekend of me paying for everything would turn me off, over time? Yes. Is it likely my “things” intimidate and scare off good men- absolutely. It’s not a one way street.

I would never judge someone for not having family wealth or for not being a high earner. I also am not naive enough to believe that people with wildly different concepts of money/finances/culture will be equally matched. It’s not impossible but it is unlikely. [/quote]

I agree with you as I tend to enjoy the finer things in life (2-3 intl trips a year, sailing, etc) and it does impact feelings when the person you're with refuses to pay simply because I have more, made better financial decisions, worked harder, etc.  I did not come from a wealthy family; however, was fortunate that my wife and I worked as a team on all financial decisions.  We're were both financial types, so it was rather easy.  Being widowed for ~5 years, dating is tough as discussions surrounding finances have to be conducted in advance of various activities...           [/quote]
