Women and money is an interesting and multi-faceted subject. I would like to say that the women you speak of are stupid themselves but are they? It is in their DNA to nest and these days that involves shopping for nice things to take to the home. Doesn't Satanism encourage women to use their feminine wiles to get what they want?
Also, there is a flip-side to this. I have spoken to men and much of the initial conversation involves them telling me what they own and how fine they are. The only thing they are sharing about themselves is their financial attributes - any wonder they end up with gold diggers. I don't date men that start conversations like this because to me it screams of a shallow and scared person that hasn't even begun to gauge their true worth. I don't care if you're rich or not. ...Although a car with a good rumble under the seat might make me smile devilishly. ...But only if you know how to drive it!
I've never skinned an ex. I know in myself what is mine and what isn't. Now, because I chose to ditch and to start over from scratch every time, I am broke... Maybe I am the stupid one? In hindsight would I do it differently? No... I'm just not attached to possessions.
The funny thing is... And this is where men are a bit bat shit crazy! I have dated men that have judged me because I am poor, but are comfortable dating a woman with money even if they acquired it by skinning a few exes. Go figure...
But you are correct. Some women will put up with all kinds of shit to be attached to a man with money and/or prestige.
Me... I don't want any more exes - at my age I can't afford to keep starting over.
