I must have a rich boyfriend...

You're hitting your early 30s, want to get married and want someone rich as well. You realise you're in decline, he's reaching peak and you think you can command high value men? You've missed your chance, you should have been shagging them in your twenties. Find someone, don't be picky and don't be alone, it'll be a tough life for you if you stay single

Haha, I have looks on my side. I still look early 20s and girls who are much younger than me look so much older than I do.

That said, I'm really attracted to guys in their late 30s and early 40s, I might find a gem there

I'm afraid you've shown your naivety. Going to a Russell Group is not impressive in itself. You're going to have to bring a lot more to the table than that. If you manage a good classification alongside ECs and relevant work experience even then that just makes you competitive, not amazing. This isn't a knock, a dose of reality will help you. Arrogance will set you up for a rude awakening.

Does money matter in relationships? Life in the UK can be expensive and from a capitalist point would be beneficial to have a rich boyfriend?

I got loads of experience and interpersonal skills. Do you feel the need to judge me on the spot..do yu even know me personally and my achievements? You're just great at slaying anything you cannot stand. Your lack of maturity please keep your bigoted opinions to yourself

I'd like to buy presents and stuff for my future partner and regularly treat them but I'm afraid that they might find it patronising, that I'm doing this because I think women don't have enough money or something.

'Money' qua self-sufficiency is extremely important in relationships.

You're more than welcome to regularly treat me, haha . I think any guy would appreciate it, even with money - who doesn't appreciate free gifts and treats?!

You mean girl, right?

I think they would appreciate it but also a chance that they take it the wrong way.

I just read a couple of posts and it's staggering at how the poor of TSR think they need money to do cultured things, you can go to museums, art galleries, opera and ballet as well as the theater for not a lot and in the case of the former two, free. What will cost you money is travel to other countries and still, you can do it on the cheap and get the experience that someone paying £6,000+/pp will on £500/pp.

The main reason people need money is for socialising, that costs a lot of money but if you want to experience new cultures, or do arty things or learn history etc, it'll be a pittance, socialising though will cost a bomb, there was an estimate recently that to spend your time in high society in London, Dubai and New York you need roughly £5,000/month just for expenses, that doesn't include clothing, food or rent/utilities.

It's rare that any one here on TSR can afford that, hell I struggle to splash out when required although in fairness with a business, job and uni to do, I'd rather do them than socialise

Chavs are getting Asbos daily for beating up their girlfriends.

A man being poor of living in a council estate won't mean he will magically treat you right.

Anyone with exposure to the underclass will have you know that 'poor' men can hit, abuse, cheat and disrespect you just as much as a rich man. There is so much abuse and domestic violence in poor households it's a joke.

A man being intelligent enough to get a high paying job doesn't automatically make him disrespectful.

We need to stop glamourising poverty and poorer men as Angels......

When I graduated in my early 20s, I was purely focussed on my career, didn't really give much thought to getting married.

Speaking as a rational person hitting early 30s, I'd very much like to settle down now. My ideal partner has to be someone who earns a lot, at least 5 times what I earn. When I consider the future, there's no way I'd have a child and bring them up in poverty. However, I wouldn't give up my job if I did meet that ideal person.

This is the only problem with your views. Nothing wrong with wanting a partner who earns six figures, if your earning potential is similar. Wanting a partner who earns double your salary just because is silly though.

I'd put it under well off, wealthy to me would be millions.

Earning Millions or having a net worth, worth millions?

Most of us will never have that much

Tbh, sometimes I'd quite fancy being a housewife to a rich man. I've ended up with a binman as a boyfriend though, so we'll just have to make do until I either get a decent paying admin job, or one of us wins the lottery *fingers crossed*
