Disclaimer: This is not a thread made to bash men or women, but was created to foster a discussion about Love and Relationships in the 21st Century.
I remember hearing Robert DeNiro's character in "Casino" say "love costs money" and to this day it has never left my head...cause it's true to an extent.The connection that attracts men towards women may exist (personality, likes, dislikes, interests, etc), but money has to be there to sustain anything within a relationship. And I think this is just because the values have changed over the years. I think moreso for men than women. Even the most down on her luck woman (IMO, don't quote me about) could probably find herself a 50k millionaire that's willing to take care of her. For men, no, I don't think we have those safety nets. There are some women out there who I think would be able to put up with a man making less than her or next to nothing...but sooner or later, he'll just become a burden to her and she'll move on.
There are so many studies out there that correlate money to a happy and healthy sex life, being able to compete in the dating game, being seen as desirable not only to the opposite sex but to employers as well, and other factors. Bottom line, if you're broke and jobless as a man you might as well just forget about ever having an intimate longterm relationship with a woman again. It's probably an unspoken way the system at large destroys the livelihood of men from the inside out and weeds the game out of it's weakest while promoting it's strongest. Those who can't compete in the job market will eventually not even be able to compete in the dating game game. And there possibly might be some social darwinist factors at play within this.
so, what are your thoughts on this? Sorry to make this OP one sided, but I can only speak from my experience.
