I'm not writing with any agenda here, as I can already anticipate plenty of answers to the effect of looks and personality are far more important (and I agree), but I'm curious as to how people perceive those with a big bank balance?
I mean, would a persons wealth affect your attraction to them? The chance to enjoy security and luxury by being in a relationship, who would honestly say it DOESN'T appeal to them in some way? |

Money doesn't appeal to us in any way, we've seen the dark side to being money obsessed and would choose happiness, health and penniless over the alternative hell we've witnessed. |

I grew up in a wealthy community and we did not have any money as a family. My parents were the equivalent of servants for the super rich. I don't like what it brings and it reminds me of how some people really struggle. That being said, my son is in an extremely highly paid career and we will all be benefitting from it soon ... we have already agreed, as a family, that the money will be going to charity, once we have a house of our own. |

Money as such doesn't attract me, but having enough to do fun stuff together, is important to me, just little things like going for a meal where you don't have to worry whose paying.
Little treats for each other, I wouldn't be attracted to someone who wasn't able to pay there own way.
But if I was in a relationship and someone either lost their job or all their money then that wouldn't bother me |

Personally I wouldn't get into a serious relationship with someone who is under a mountain of debt, has bailiffs chasing them etc.
just a bit of a twist on the first post.
Would I find someone attractive based solely on wealth - probably not. But what i would find attractive would be the success that they've (potentially) had to get there. |

if I had a choice of two partners and every single thing about them was the same except one was very wealthy and one wasn't, I'd choose the wealthy one.
If i loved somebody wealth wouldn't put me off them any more than poverty would.
Money in itself isn't attractive although I wonder how Bernie Ecclestones girlfriends feel about that. |

I'd rather have no money as I am than be surrounded by fake friends after one thing they tend to come out the woodwork when money is involved not always mind but if I had money to burn I'd like to think I could still be the cheeky perv that I am now only with a better view |

I have my own.
Not that I'm rich I hasten to add but money has no bearing on my relationships.
I obviously have double standards cause I wouldn't waste time with someone who is too lazy to get off their arse and earn their own.

I see so many questions like these raised in here in vain...they are either blinding obvious or ones that go on an on without ever being able to get to an answer (because there may not be man answer!)....but good luck, I hope you get what you need from this thread mate. |

You need money to live. A healthy bank balance in my honest opinion does bring a certain security which can only lead to well being.
But I wouldn't judge someone by it.
I work, always have done. All I had saved up has just been wiped out by a divorce. I've got my wages in my account and that's it. But I'll build myself back up and enjoy the fruits of my labour.
A prospective partner with no money at all wouldn't bother me because I have some. But if I didn't work and not have money then personally I'd be unhappy and stressed. |

This to a degree. My children rarely ask me for money so I think I'd struggle financially supporting another adult. If Ben lost his business the dynamics of the relationship would change, and not in a good way. |

Maybe not the money but having some forms of equality of careers/prospects is a factor.
I had a quick look on pof a while back and nearly every woman is in low paid dead end empoyment, doing a college course that will lead to low paid dead end employment or unemployed.
It's not so much that they don't have money (ny longest partner was unemployed for nearly the whole time I knew them) it's just it can be wearing when you're the one paying for everything all the time or thinking "it would be great to go and do x, but I couldn't afford to pay for two of us" if you both earn similar or wave similar protects at least you can then do a lot more things together/the relationship is more equal. |

Actually I might find it intimidating- not read the other replies yet, but in terms of swinging it shouldn't really matter? Afterall its not exactly Pretty Woman, is it? |

Having been both when I was the one being paid for it was always funny when the waitress hands me the card machine etc and I have to sheepishly point at my partner lol.
It was interesting though we found
Man and woman together =bill/machine always gets offered to the man
Two men on a date = card machine handed to the most "manly/butch " man of the two |

I have always been the major breadwinner in my partnerships with the exception of one.
In that case she did have money, she just spent that (and mine) quicker than it came in |

Financial stability is attractive. Being able to spend money on treats is attractive. I don't know if I could be with somebody relationship wise who earned a lot less than me. I like to be on at least an equal footing. |

"If someone didn't work then yes, I would not be interested, if they worked in a low paid job and enjoyed it? Wouldn't bother me in the slightest "
I'm just quoting my own quote in answer to the everyone lies response, I would prefer someone on equal standing or earned more as has been reported, men tend to earn more even if in the same post....so are people really equal?
But yes money does bring more opportunities but I support myself and have done since the age of 17, wouldn't we all want the high life if we could have it? |

I am all about the balance and I don't mean bank balance. So long as I earn in the same region as my man, I am happy as I am a 50/50 kinda gal but if someone earns more than twice my salary I would feel inferior and vice versa. It is all about being someone's equal. 2 halves of a whole. |

It's a very interesting thought this one. Seeing what I have in life..near fifty years...of an ordinary life as it were...I would say that money makes little difference to who I would choose. ..as most people say here. My problem is that it is not born out in real life. Seen so many women...new cars..big house..etc...living with unattractive dull men....but have the money. So I conclude that for many women. ..I say women. ..not to be sexist...just that men are still mainly the big earners.. .but plenty women marry for security. ..money and class....yes class...and not for love. ..! |

Well I am more poor than Greece right now, so if anybody is attracted to me it's not my bank balance for sure!
I get guys all the time say 'ill get us a hotel' I always decline, I don't like the idea of someone spending there money like that or buying me dinner and stuff, just doesn't feel right, don't get me wrong it's nice they want to but i couldn't in all honesty let a guy pay for the whole night.
Money isn't attractive to me, as long as they treated me with respect that's more attractive to me x |

We've been dirt poor and fairly well off, I know what I prefer. Being really hard up isn't fun or romantic it's tough, it causes problems and wears you down.
Money is neither attractive or unattractive but people and situations are. |

I think this cuts both ways with men marrying for something too - have no idea what it is and I am not a woman who has married for money. I am in a stable well paid job but because I have always rented, have no assets. BC is in an extremely well-paid industry, has a house, but his earnings fluctuate wildly, depending on the work - so one of us is always bailing the other out and we share as all that we have is ours. Neither of us fight about money and when we have nothing, we eat noodles until my next pay check comes in ... its about the person and what they do with their money too. |

. It depends how people use what money that they have and their attitudes towards other people . Correctly handled and with the right attitude , money should give someone a degree of confidence and security , and all other factors being equal the individual concerned may be more desirable . The key factor is a persons attitude . |

I don't know that someone would be more attractive to me as a result of their bank balance but if someone didn't seem to have any earning potential I think that would make them less attractive to me. Purely because I know the kind of life I want to live and it involves us both being relatively equal partners in it.
But of course, if I already loved someone and then their circumstances changed that would be totally different. |

Just as an aside I was listening to a radio programme mainly on pensions but one of the panelists indicated to be financial comfortable you needed to
Have savings in excess of £100k
A pension fund of more than £300k
Be mortgage free that is owning your home.
Is that bar to high? |

no your on the right track, its when you said an expensive aftershave and I genuinely wouldn't be able to tell if it was expensive or not if I liked the smell of it, to me if something smells nice it smells nice, |

My last relationship ended because of money... Or rather my ex repeatedly saying money was no object. Expensive flowers, never letting me pay for meals.. He even said I could have his expensive car.. It was just constant.. Might sound ideal for some woman but I just wanted him to tone it down a bit..\
I was a bit confused though then when he denied paternity of his child ( which was proven through a DNA) why he had a problem paying maintenance! |

. I would say it is too low . To have a decent pension , your fund would need to be nearer one million pounds . Invested in stocks and shares that would equate to an annual income of. £35000.. |

Have savings in excess of £100k
A pension fund of more than £300k
Be mortgage free that is owning your home.
Is that bar to high?. I would say it is too low . To have a decent pension , your fund would need to be nearer one million pounds . Invested in stocks and shares that would equate to an annual income of. £35000.."
Tax free ?

Was parked in York yesterday and a very attractive, very well presented, classy dressed lady pulled up next to me in her Range Rover Vogue. Obviously appeared comfortable in wealth and I thought WOW! WOW! WOW!
Then to the left, a woman arrived back at clapped out rust bucket car. Obviously just been to the lidl gym as she was wearing badly fitted grey tracky bottoms that showed the crack of her big arse with a t-shirt that was 4 sizes too small
It was a tough decision but it was the Range Rover woman I smiled at and it was reciprocated. she of course could've had a horrible personality whilst Lidl gym woman may have been lovely but Range Rover woman is now firmly in my lustful mind.
Moral of this story, don't wear tracky bottoms if you're going shopping!  |

One more card and it's twenty two
Unlucky for him again
He never had respect for money it's true
That's why he never wins
That's why he never ever has enough
To treat his lady right
He just pushes her away in a huff
And says 'Money don't matter to night'
Money don't matter to night
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday,
And it sure don't matter to night
Look, here's a cool investment
They're tellin' him he just can't lose
So he goes off and tries to find a partner
But all he finds are users (users)
All he finds are snakes in ever color
Every nationality and size
Seems like the only thing he can do
Is just roll his eyes, and say that
Money don't matter to night (don't matter)
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright (soul's alright)
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday, (don't matter)
And it sure don't matter to night
(ooh-wee-ooh, don't matter)
(it don't matter to night, no)
Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason
To send a child off to war
So what if we're controllin' all the oil,
Is it worth a child dying for? (is it worth it?)
If long life is what we all live for
Then long life will come to pass
Anything is better than the picture of the child
In a cloud of gas
And you think you got it bad
Money don't matter to night (no, don't matter)
It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday)
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright (make certain that your soul's alright)
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday,
It sure don't matter to night
Money don't matter to night
It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday, yesterday)
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
Money didn't matter yesterday,
And it sure don't matter to night

Power influence and money must be attractive, you only have to look at premiership footballers. Would they all have such attractive model types wives if they were on minimum wage? Peter Crouch's famous quote sums it up, what would you be if you weren't a footballer? " a virgin!"
Sad in a way
Having said that just because you become rich doesn't mean you have to become a knob. I know a guy who, through his own hard work and talent has just got millions and he just one of the lads |

"Money offers false security, it can be gone in an instant.
You can't take it with you, either. "
. However if it is properly managed it will be there for ever and give you security throughout your life . How can it be gone in an instant unless you take an unnecessary risk?. |

. Maybe you are going to the wrong type of restaurants . Why would those who go to restaurants be arrogant ?. Most people just sit down in a restaurant to enjoy a meal. |

There are plenty of situations where people have been bankrupted through legal proceedings etc.
Or; you could die. |

"And here comes all the lies how do you come to that conclusion?"
because those who have no money pretend it's not important and those that do try to justify why they have it. |

. That is in a very small number of cases though. If you are dead , it would not make any difference anyway. |

well we don't have much and can categorically state it's not important to us. Feel free to call us liars if you like but you'd be way wrong. |

Money isn't attractive on its own, but a certain amount of disposable income is necessary if you want to travel, book hotels, buy toys...
But also, you're going to be attracted more to someone with some common interests, so there may be a bit of an income element to attraction when you are first chatting to someone. |

I've had the piss taken out of me by some mates because I've done pretty well for myself, apparently what's the point in working hard, it's cooler to be skint at least then you can blame the government for your shit choices
Or so that's how it appears from some people I know |

I was going to say something intelligent and witty but then I got completely distracted by your gorgeous avatar 
Now... where was I? Yes money is attractive... just so long as you can part it from the people who have it lol
Just kidding... but not about _otler's mesmerising boobies   When are they on view to the public? |

. I prefer to work hard , have money and be in control of my life . Whilst money does not necessarily make you happy , I can see few merits in having none . |

If I win the lottery the money is mine. Totally different to the OP's question which involves someone else having the money. |

"Maybe not the money but having some forms of equality of careers/prospects is a factor.
I had a quick look on pof a while back and nearly every woman is in low paid dead end empoyment, doing a college course that will lead to low paid dead end employment or unemployed.
It's not so much that they don't have money (ny longest partner was unemployed for nearly the whole time I knew them) it's just it can be wearing when you're the one paying for everything all the time or thinking "it would be great to go and do x, but I couldn't afford to pay for two of us" if you both earn similar or wave similar protects at least you can then do a lot more things together/the relationship is more equal."
Well put and sums up what I mean: the dynamics would change if the burden was placed on one person. |

I'm very comfortable, I don't need to work but work part time just to fend off boredom and for the social aspect of interacting with my colleagues turned friends.
To me money is essential, I like nice things, nice places and nice food but I'm not a free money machine. I expect someone to pay their own way at first and then further down the line once I establish they arnt in it to be a WAG then I'll be more generous.
Money doesn't buy you happyness in itself but it buys me a whole lot of other things instead. |

Op do you mean in general or on fab? Because on fab it's irrelevant, a person's bank balance isn't going to make one bit of a difference to me in the bedroom! As for in general money can't buy love! |

"Money as such doesn't attract me, but having enough to do fun stuff together, is important to me, just little things like going for a meal where you don't have to worry whose paying.
Little treats for each other, I wouldn't be attracted to someone who wasn't able to pay there own way.
But if I was in a relationship and someone either lost their job or all their money then that wouldn't bother me"

I just about manage on my own with 2 growing boys - yes I get maintenance from their dad, tax credits (which I hate having to claim but need) & child benefit.
I work full time in a job I love. I'm not greatly paid but it has other benefits such as flexi time & a good pension.
I've never been happier. I don't need anyone else's money - I'd rather have their time & attention |

I grew up in a city with some of the highest income inequality in the world. I know it isn't necessarily "right," but I find that someone having a lot of money can actually be a turn-off for me. It signals, correctly or incorrectly, that they have loads of money while others are poor and need help.
Having said that I already know it isn't the case for most people with money, but it's an instinctive reaction I find hard to shake. That doesn't mean I am attracted to men because they are poor. I like men who can support themselves. I just don't like seeing the Benz in the driveway.

Yup. I'm not IMPRESSED by money, but I know what it is to live for months in winter with no hot water, heating, or proper cooking facility, and I don't ever want to go there again.
Besides, I like pretty, fluffy, flowery and posh things! |

Dunno, i want to say money would make someone more attractive coz they can spoil you and buy you everything you want but can't afford, but when i was younger i went out with wealthy guys and got treated like their property, "well i bought you this so why can't we have sex" that kind of thing.
The guys on here who've paid for hotels seemed nice, but they knew they were getting sex regardless. |
