If I was a woman I'd want a man who had at least enough money to support himself and in the chance we got pregnant to be able to afford me not working while I ran up bills raising the kids and sitting on my a** all day on internet sites... uh... I'm getting off topic here.. lol
Because more and more women are now making as much if not MORE money than the average man.. they can demand to only date men who make more.
Sok... men want firm perky bums.. not how much money she makes.
Except me.. I demand both from a woman.

If a woman mentions money in the first sentence of wanting to know anything about a guy, it's pretty obvious they're gold diggers.

i think in todays society its ok 4 the man not to work. not to support himself or his children and the woman are left to do both or all of the above and most of us are sick of it. so to actually support urself and if u have children to support them and have ur own place and have a job sometimes thats askin too much in todays world .but thats what most of us want . so we dont end up supporting the man as well as us and aour children

Personally, I don't care if you own your own business or not but you must have a job or the ability to support yourself.
Beyond that hey you could work at taco bell for all I care as long as it makes you happy

what... I dunno.. I look down on any man that isn't disabled and doesn't have a job.. any job.
Same with women.. but if they have children under 5 I would prefer they not have a job and raise the children so they grow up into healthy productive human beings that also get jobs.
Just wish so many women waited until marriage before getting knocked up... don't gimme that bull about "accidents" women know what they are doing with their reproductive organs.

sorry didnt read the hole question...these days yes women just like a man with money because they feel they dont have to do anything and they can buy all the shoes and bocket books they want.
For me money is just paper and is a way to survie in life. Aman doesnt have to be rich to make me happy. but yes does have to have a job.

Mom always said "You can love a rich person just as much as a poor one" so maybe many of these women have gotten similar advice.
Can you really blame them? Attractive women get tons of email its just a matter of sorting out what they want. You can afford to be picky when you have lots of options.

i think that is the smartest thing ive heard today tex. it has been brought to my attention that i should remove such information from my profile. i think to get what your looking for you have to try a few different options. when i filled out the profile the instructions instructed me to answer everything honestly and youll have better success. i feel it will take away a big part of what and who i am but maybe my responses will change. the only true way to find out is experiment.

Considering the first sentence of your profile is 'I own my own business' why would it surprise you that someone would mention it.
I don't like dating business owners, especially young ones. As they usually are building the business up and don't have time for much else.

Money can't make you happy. It shouldn't matter if a man has alot of money or his own business. As long as he treats you right and makes you feel special that's what is important.

depends on what kinda woman she is...All you have to do is listen and listen carefully and you really don't need to ask those questions. So I would imagine you have had allot of "dumb" women sending those e-mails. Hey look on the bright side...you don't have to answer any of them   
Hell if you can pay your taxes, afford toothpaste...carry on a decent conversation and a few other key things...that's all that matters...just let it go!

Because they don't want to have to support a relationship all on their own. It's a two way street, better if you know up front if you have a job. As far as gold diggers...hell, I don't even own a shovel lol

Not the "man" I let move in with me, the one who wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me and look after me" (not that I needed or wanted to be looked after). He worked all of 3 months before deciding to become a thieving leech for the next 5. And there's a hellalot more like him out there.
Therefore, one that DOES support himself IS attractive.

A man that can support himself is such a turn on.
I can say that I am NOT a gold digger I am a homeowner, pay my own bills, and have a good job.
Knowing that he has the same is a safer bet in this day and age.

Single mothers want to be sure they aren't going to have another child to raise. If a man is employed and living on his own they might find a partner rather than someone looking for a free meal or housekeeper.
Romance isn't dead, but reality hits hard.
Neither women nor men want to carry the full load. If someone is managing his own bills and making the ends meet, then if there is a hookup maybe there is a comfort level that isn't there on a one income family?
Having a best friend, confidante, affectionate significant other is more important than money...............but, being able to pay the bills with a little left over for fun is nice too.
In the long run it is the person who makes the difference NOT the money.
I was with someone who always said the rest of the women in his life always considered him to be a checkbook. Of course all he talked about were his possesions and who got what or how much when he was gone.

Cosmosis, as you are well aware 75% of Woman base thier intitial attraction on facial and physical appearance. secondary, how does he dress, what does he drive, where did he take them for dinner? third, the careful question "So What do you for a Living"? that in its self tells a finacially secure minded female whether the pursuet is worth while or not! If a Woman pursue's a man of less financially stability , he is the Bad Boy who she wants to experiment with that has no real goals , just the rep that he's good between her thighs. Beyond that refer back to" What do you do for a living"?, and you have your answer. Oh yeah, then there's the whole Father Figure syndrome, how could I have left that out?

I have had a few women over the years more concerned about what I was doing for a living, I have always had a job,usually two of them (or more at times), but with some, that wasnt enough, they wanted me to make enough so THEY could sit at home and do nothing.
Well, I look at that also. I will NOT date a woman that does not have a job and can support herself. If we end up together, we will BOTH keep our jobs as well, no one is staying home while the other works. (mainly because you can barely live on one salary today anyway).
I have no problem with someone who barely makes enough to live, as long as they do that. I will pick up the difference to support going out for dinner and all the luxuries, but she will still pay the bills she had when we met, I will not do that (even if married, just as I would not accept anyone paying my bills I brought into a relationship). Now those things we aquire together, we will either share the cost, or whoever has the greater financial means will cover that cost...but both have to agree to the purchase. (unless I just want to spend money on her, then she can either accept it, or refuse it, her choice.)
Reason I kept my accounts separate while married, we both knew where we each stood as far as our own debts, and we setup a fair way of paying for joint expenses (mainly I paid them, but she contributed what she could).

"why do woman seem concerned about a man with money and a business?"
Easy. Because these women have dated broke loser after broke loser after broke loser in the past because they wanted to have fun, but now that they finally grow up and act like adults and realize their lives need to be boring and stable, because they're getting older and for the sake of their kids, they're thinking about their futures now, and they want it to be a future with certain guaranteed comfort and standard of living.
