Men who think they are only worth what they can earn

Just add your thoughts on this one!

In the last 3 years I have had 2 men ( creative types) who are very talented but don't earn a lot of money saying ( heard through other people) I don't think she would be interested in me as I don't have this and that ect.

I am not materlistic at all so can not see where this is from - is this a common theme with men - 'women only want us for our money?

I have always held strong views about who pays on dates - you both do! So it's great to hear I'm not alone in this as many people seem to think that's odd. If you like someone enough to give up an evening to go on a date with them, you need to like them enough to pay your share. That way no one's paid for the other person's time - it sets up an equal relationship (which surely both parties would benefit from) from the word go. I married a penniless student with a work ethic and he now earns more than me. I would never judge someone on how much they earn, but I would look at how they spent their money and what they expected me to pay for.
