    Era of the Gold Digger?

    I have, for the past 45 mins been overhearing a conversation by 5 female permies about the absolute requirement for potential suitors to have money - the more the better. This conversation is not reserved for the bimboid-tendency, it also includes 2 women who are intelligent, articulate and in their late thirties.

    By the way they were talking, you would think that mutual attraction didn't matter, so long as they 'got a slice' if it all ended in tears.

    Naively, I though gold-diggers were small in their numbers but it seems, from their conversation, that the size of a man's wallet and bank balance is a definite box to be ticked and a wide spread attitude.

    Any women posters here agree / disagree? Any male posters agree / disagree?

          I think it's called 'Toxic housewife syndrome'

              Curiously if you consider the growth of the man's wallet to be linear, the actual increase in gold-digging greed appears to be exponential. As a contractor, I am now subjectively poorer than when I was a permie due to the increase in the gold-digging factor. Massive houses and luxury holidays are now required to maintain the status quo, rather than the cinema and chinese takeaway of 'yore'.
