You know some of us look physical qualitites. While probably some look for others qualities like social, charming, lovable, caring, etc. But other than all of these combine, people tend to tie most or soem of them with financial status. I mean yes, we look for a masculine handsome guy or a beautiful sexy girl (and some looks for other qualities), but you have to admit that we sometimes look at whether this person can take care of me or whether this person can stand in his own two feet. My friend had this situation before, he told me that he loved her and the feeling was mutual. But sometimes he wonders if she loved him bec of who he is (he always admits that hes not good looking and kinda small in his size hehehe) or for what he is (hes kinda rich). They would sometimes fight whenever the guy doesnt bring or buy her something. And also i have a girl (space) friend who is really beautiful and has a boyfriend. But the parents of the guy doesnt want the girl bec shes kinda poor and the guy's parents doesnt want him to be with her bec my she bring his boyfriend down (meaning they might live in poverty). Yes...we tend to look at good qualities of a person. But for some (or most) of us, I know that when your looking mr/ms right, one of those questions we ask about it is he/she is financially stable. And probably its a fact.

Interesting! WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? I bet you too has your own somethin going on. After I read this, honestly, it made me feel that for you, MONEY is important than any other in this world. No harsh feelings, but you made me think of you that way. I know I don't know you, but sometimes, yourself reflects from anything or something that you are doing or your comments and opinions. For me, some are like that, but it's not a fact! Sometimes it depends to the person.. you really dont have to choose.. coz love is not like something you have to make decision if you can love her or whatever. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR POST?

For me, it would be more about family or racial tradition. Money isn't that important to me (but I'll still consider money as a need or necessity but not as a "want"). But when it comes to family tradition, my family wants to keep the tradition of having someone of the same ethnic group.
