I'm 35 years old and make around 250,000 a year. 6'1, well built. 3rd generation American (Caucasian) from a wealthy family. I work hard but I'm not complaining about my situation. I've worked hard to leave the corporate world behind and pursue the things I love to do. However, I've begun to feel that it is impossible to find someone who would like me for who I am. <br><br>I've decided to travel around the world, leave the country for a bit, and see if I can meet someone who thinks I'm cool along the way. The problem is that now I'm in a wealthy area in Asia, and 99% of the women here, seem to be attracted to my money. I've met a few women who I find to be very beautiful, yet they have nothing to show for themselves besides their looks. They are not inspiring people but overall they are beautiful in and out (minus the gold-digging part). They are wonderful people overall, kind, caring, and lovable. I would leave them for no one in the world. But I know they would leave me if money ever became an issue. I've got a 6-figure trust fund at 35, so I know they would have no interest if I were broke. <br><br>I have asked them and they won't deny it. It's a fact. But they have also told me that they don't care about money. One of them is a fitness instructor at a gym. They are kind-hearted and overall great people. But I know that if I were to lose my trust fund and had no job they would be gone. <br><br>I don't blame them for thinking this way. I'm frustrated not with them but society as a whole. I would date someone with a similar income to mine or someone who makes minimum wage. I don't care about what they make, I care about what they do. I care if they are inspiring. If they live a life of meaning and purpose. If they are kind to others and the environment. If they are a good person to be around. But if I date someone who makes minimum wage, no one would think anything of it (except my family). <br><br>So I have to ask you gentlemen, would you date someone who you know would leave you if you were to lose your income? A person with no money who would leave you for a rich man?
