I notice that certain people keep making these comments about women only being interested in men for potential financial gain. I can only speak for myself, but when I met my current husband, we were both over 50. He had been working in the scientific field, mostly lab work. After a bad experience he lost confidence, and at the time we met, he was delivering pizza for a living. I fell in love with him not because he had a high income, but because I was genuinely attracted to him and not to what he could buy for me.
I encouraged him to dust off his dreams and try again. He is now making a much better salary, and feels content in his work, in a lab. I could never feel attraction to a man based upon his material assets; never have and never will. I was pretty capable of supporting myself, having worked in health care, so I wasn't looking to be "taken care of."
Perhaps there are women out there who are gold diggers; and personally, I do believe that a man's potential to be a good provider is definitely a plus,especially if you expect to start a family with him. But that would not be the sole reason for me to be attracted to someone!
