Are guys with more money more likely to be unfaithful?
 

I have a theory that men who are wealthy and successful are more likely to cheat due to the fact that they have more opportunities to cheat; they are more likely to be approached by other women, plus they have more financial means to buy hookers, escorts, call-girls, go to third-world countries for sex vacations.

It's true that poor guys can cheat too and many do, I just feel that the chances are better for a female to have a guy remain faithful to her if the guy is of modest means and not in a high-powered position/career.

In my opinion, men with money or men who are successful tend to have a sense of entitlement. They feel like "I went to school for 7 years to become a doctor so now it's time for me to reap my rewards and fuck as many bitches as I can!"

So if a woman is already pretty successful and makes good money it's better for her to choose a guy who is not as successful as her because the odds are better of him being faithful.... Of course then it could end up that the guy will feel inferior and have resentment and thus end up cheating anyways.... ??

I have a lot of female friends who basically kind of lost hope on men. They feel that no matter how good looking they are, even if they are successful women with good careers, even if they exercise, even if they an 8 or 9 on the 1-10 scale, even if they give their partner plenty of sex, even if they get boob jobs, the guy will always have a tendency to stray anyways, so they have a better chance of finding a faithful guy if the guy is not successful and doesn't have a lot of money. That way the guy is more likely to feel "lucky" that he got such a great woman even though he's not so great himself, and he'll be more likely to be grateful and stay true...

Is this true to some degree??

I know some women who are SO phobic and paranoid about being cheated on or being "played" that they will only date guys who don't make much money and who have no careers or much going for them...

Didn't Chris Rock say, "you're only as faithful as your options"?

More money = more options

It's true that you can never judge a book by it's cover and that every individual is different, but I mean in general, isn't a guy who has more money MORE likely to cheat?

I don't want to generalize or offend anyone, but it's just common sense that rich men will attract more women, and if more women are drawn to a man than that particular man will have more options available and more opportunity to cheat.

Look at all the NBA stars, most of them cheat. And Beyonce is more wealthier than most people on this board, she's a multi-millionaire, she's considered good-looking by most people, she has a career and she STILL gets cheated on by JAY-Z. Isn't that kind of sad?

That means that for normal "women" there is no hope because no matter how good looking and successful the woman is the guy will always cheat no matter what. So basically there's no hope...

Yea I agree. That's why I only date broke people. A wealthy person would just dump me whenever the next good thing comes along.

Its the person not whether they had money or not. I worked with strippers most of their boyfriends were broke ass scumbags and were always fucking around.

This is not the thought pattern of a Doctor. This is the thought pattern of a plumber. :2 cents:

Yes, it's the person of course, but I would still think that the chances are slightly higher for someone with money to cheat? If you want to minimize your chances of getting cheated on, I mean even if it's a small percentile, it would be worth it... We all know nothing is guaranteed in my life, but let's just say if you want to minimize your chances as much as possible, wouldn't it be better to stay away from successful people?

I know a dentist who thinks this way. He thinks that because he has money now that he has power and wanted to upgrade his ex to a "newer model." His ex actually loaned him almost 20k so he could go to school and now that he's out he never payed her back and dumped her. I know not "all" guys are this way, but this is an example of what I am talking about.

How is that working out for ya?

Personally, I don't think I would enjoy dating someone who was "broke". I honestly believe it would cause too many issues (i.e. I would want to go somewhere and he couldn't afford to go, he would feel like bad because he earns less than his GF).

And by dating only guys who earn less than you, aren't you discriminating? Not every guy who earns more than you will cheat or be an asshole. Take each guy as they are, not what they have in their wallet.

I'm not going to lie - I suck at being faithful. I don't know what my problem is. I just seem to have a hard time staying interested in one girl. Hell, the only girl I've dated that I haven't fucked around on is Carmen (cravingcarmen.com).

I definitely agree that guys with more money are probably more likely to be unfaithful. You're right - more money gives you more options. Girls see that I have a decent house and car and that's an instant turn-on to them. After all, what every girl wants is a provider. A guy who can take care of them. Granted I'm not super rich or anything, but I'm a young guy who does well for himself and girls never fail to notice that. So when you're getting pussy thrown at you all the time from every direction, it's always hard to stay 100% faithful.

Just my two scumbag-filled cents.

Well, a lot of my female friends also don't date guys who hit on them if the guys are successful because they feel intimidated and feel like they have a "better chance" of a guy being more faithful if he isn't too ambitious. I know lots of guys complain that women are gold diggers and such but I know women who are actually AFRAID of even moderately successful guys.

I think that if you date someone broke with no ambition you will always have to support them financially and it's going to be a life long burden, but I guess that's the price you pay for having someone be faithful to you. I guess you can pick, do you want someone with goals in life that's gonna cheat on you? Or do you want someone with no ambition who's going to be faithful?

I know I can always take care of myself so I pick the person who is more likely to be faithful.

If I wanted to go somewhere where my broke partner couldn't afford to go I would have to pay for them. That's the price to pay for someone being faithful. I know my way of thinking is "unhealthy" and all that, but that's how I really feel.

If someone choses to only date people who earn less than them, than yes, they would be discriminating, but it would only be because of their fear of being cheated on, which I think justifies this discrimination. Doesn't everyone discriminate to some degree when dating? Some people only date tall people, some only short.. etc

Every person is different of course, but chances are still more likely of someone being MORE likely to cheat if they have more options. If someone has more options than it will be harder for them to turn all those options down.

Yes, a lot of women are gold diggers, but I actually do know of women who are so terrified of being cheated on, that they only date broke guys in order to lessen their chances of being cheated on.

The jokes on them.

Yeah, that's actually pretty damn smart of them. Poor guys appreciate a good girl more in my opinion. Guys with cash just think, "Fuck it. She leaves me I can just find another girl easy enough."

Yea, but look at Kevin Federline, he wasn't grateful to Britney even though she's worth millions and millions. He still cheated on her...

I guess this answers my question, yea Kevin was poor and he STILL cheated.. but all in all.. if someone were to do a scientific study the numbers would still be in favor of poorer mates being less likely to cheat I think.

you forgot the major factor in all this, if the guy is good looking he will get laid no matter what.

Yes, this is true. In that case there's no hope for anyone. :(

If you are going to get cheated on, why even bother getting into a relationship and getting hurt? You might as well grow old by yourself and buy a bunch of cats or dogs to keep you company :helpme

OMG girl!! I've seen you post before and some of our thoughts and interests seem similar, so I just want to shake you! LOL

Personally, I love an ambitious guy. I wouldn't have it any other way. I would rather have someone who was out every day making their dreams happen versus sitting on the couch.

There are a lot of guys out there who are faithful AND successful. I honestly don't think you have to choose.

i cheated more when I was poor :2 cents:

didn't chris also say "single and lonely....or...together and miserable"

i think that you have to find someone who has "been around" and experienced life. therefore not being as curious as someone who hasn't. that will sure lower the probability of cheating.

i personally automatically assume the girl will cheat. life is just easier that way, instead of wondering all the time. ;)
give the person freedom, the more you restrict someone from something the more they want to do it. from my experience.

people will make mistakes for one reason or another look at all the laws we have and the crime rates... lifes a gamble, take a chance.

Shake me ... shake me.... :1orglaugh

I am afraid of ambitious people.

I have a friend who is 29 and going back to school for accounting. She's making me really depressed. She said there's no point of her going to school because even if she is successful whoever she ends up with is still going to cheat on her (cause let's face it, most men cheat). So I told her ; "you DON'T go to school to keep a man, you go to school for yourself in order to better yourself,"and then she was like "ooh ooh but the guy will still cheat on me, why am I doing this to mysef, working so hard for nothing..."

It's just really depressing. And I noticed I'm the same way. I chose to be with people who have no ambition, no job etc because I feel that you have a better chance that way of having the other person not cheat. It's kind of twisted, but also smart in a way as Some Guy said... because women are more disposable to rich guys, they can always get a new one.

That is another HUGE thing. Personally I don't like someone who's been around
because I will always "wonder" about their past and who they were with in the past and if those people were "better" than me...

I also think that people who "have been around" could be more likely to cheat because they already "know what's out there" so perhaps they would want to experience that again? Or perhaps if they were with someone "better" than me in the past than I would wonder why they settled for me?

But I also feel the same about someone who's inexperienced... I would be afraid that they would want to know what's out there...

It's like you can't win either way...

well if u wonder about their past why not ask them about it and find out? if your not comfortable knowing about their past to begin with thats a whole different issue. if that person has been with you for an some time obviously theres something about u that screams "keeper"

where is all this insecurity coming from?

ps- i find it funny how this topic is posted on a xxx-industry forum. lol

I bet it had more to do with the person you were with than what you had in your bank account and the entitlement that amount made you feel.

Okay...I'm seriously grabbing you by the shoulders and SHAKING THE CRAP OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW! If you're at a show anytime soon, I just might do it in person...LOL.

A guy who you're with because they're less successful (and less threatening) will smell your insecurity and use that like a motherfucker. Ahem...just like Brit and Kfed. I'm sure you don't want to go nuts and shave your head, right?

Normal guys actually enjoy seeing their partners succeed. Weird, eh? Strong women attract strong men.

You might be right, but so what?

it's like observing that chances of getting food poisoning by eating seafood at a Chinese restaurant is higher than eating a pizza at an Italian restaurant.. and then concluding that eating pizza is a safer bet...
