    I ran across an article today http://biz.yahoo.com/special/money06_article2.html

    Why Are Men So Afraid of Money?

    Men are said to be very simple, linear creatures. It's women who are supposed to be the illogical, circular sex. So how do you explain this paradox: Men love women. Men love money. But men don't love women with money.

    Not so linear, after all.

    And is it a woman's money per se that turns men off? Or is it the confidence and power that go along with having money?

    So men, when you get to know a woman, would it matter if she made or had more money than you?

    What happens if the woman has no money, a minimum wage job and no prospects for anything better? Does that matter?

    At what point in a relationship should this topic even be brought up?

    I hear that idea a lot, but I honestly don't know a single guy who is afraid of a girl with money. Seriously. The woman in the relationship has the potential to be "in charge" whether she has money or not. Of course, the reverse is also true.

    A woman has to have a lot of money if she wants to hang out with me.

    I'll admit that a woman with money makes me a tad uncomfortable. It has nothing to do with her, but it makes me feel inadequate somehow. I know this is not logical, but it's there nonetheless. A girl I go to school with has been flirting with me for some time, and she seems a nice enough person. However, I recently learned that she comes from a substantially higher socio-economic background than me, and I must admit my perception of her changed. Sad, huh.

    how much money a woman has makes no difference to me. I wouldn't mind a rich lady ;) but it seems like women have more of a love affair withit than men. wanting the rich guy.

    I don't care about money, if a person is hardworking thats all that really matters.

    When the time comes to discuss alimony, a man wants the woman to be earning more than him.
