Women often get accused of being money-grubbers. Guys say they're attracted to the benjamins, and to what they can acquire with a big bank account. From what I've seen, that is true for some. Some women I've met and known are attracted to flashy cars, fancy watches, and big houses. They're stimulated by the social position that wealth might bring them. They fall much farther on the money side of the love-or-money equation than they do the love side.
On the surface this argument seems to have merit. From experience, I've learned there's often more beneath that surface.
Many women who appear to be attracted to money are actually attracted to security. For them, it's less about the size of the number, but it's more about what the number represents. It means if they get sick, they'll be able to afford good healthcare. It means if they're in need legal help, they'll have access to quality consultation and representation. It means they're current or future children will be afforded a good education.
Women like to feel safe. This is a big reason why policemen, firemen, and soldiers usually have little difficulty in finding a bride. Money and wealth represent safety and protection. I can't fault a women for wanting to feel safe and protected.
So it's more than just money. Sometimes it's about love and security.
