Slim that was rude what u said to me right there.

If a guy loves you for real or if ur character is pleasant to ignore he wont change a bit. Most of the time ''truth be told'', its girls that chase guys away with one thing or the other. Most of the time & thats it.

The topic is alright, but the generalization in your post isn't true. Some guys are rude and belligerent when they're broke, because they're angry at the world - and they hate everything. But once they become financially comfortable, they end up being loving, caring, and more rational.

the use of the words 'usually' and 'mostly' in my post clearly elimates any form of generalization.
...and you just upturned my whole post btw..you didn't tell why you think it is the other way round..

@ slim i beg to differ.
I have seen bitter,angry and revengeful men who attribute it to poverty/difficult life. They feel and act as if the whole world is responsible for their misery and lash out at anybody they meet.Very difficult to love and take pride in criticising.
There's the other group of successfull but very arrogant and proud men who assume the 'god status'and feel like they are doing the world a favour by their existence.

Lucky I would say is the lady who finds an emotionally stable man. The man who regardless of status maintains his cool,acts,talks and treats others right not because he is rich or poor but because he knows who he is.

Well I would put it down to the urge to pay back for all the years of ladies being jackasses basically. Now you can stop and wink from inside your "Evil Spirit" and they would "hop" in, don't hate the player......hate the game

Where are the stats to back up your assertion/hypothesis that the behaviour(s) is 'usually' and 'mostly', huh? People have different temperaments and adaptation traits. For example: I'm irrational, rude, uncouth etc. when I'm broke - and loving, caring, humble etc. when everything is going right for me. I know plenty of people who're also like that - and not everyone allows money/wealth to change them. And I can argue that some allow money/wealth to bring out the best in them.

PS: I love the topic.

now lemmie frame it this way; 'Is financial status a sure way of ascertaining a man's behaviour?'

Answer: Yes or No depending on the man's emotional maturty.

But again, what is the origin of one's behaviour? what shapes behaviour? who determines what is and what what is not good behaviour cz what s right in my view could be wrong in yours.
who is a well behaved man?

That aside,my conclusion is; One's behaviour can be attractive or repulsive depending on one's defination of a standard acceptable behaviour .

A man from a humble background may suddenly turn arrogant upon landing himself some good money. His moods,talk and acts fluctuate according to his bank status.
That kind is very unstable emotionally because money is controlling his life.
There's another kind from the same background who will never allow money to dictate their moods.You will never tell when they are broke because they are in control of their emotions.
They remain constant in all weather.

you can never underestimate the power of money
check out when one is broke moral is low
the reverse is the case when your have enough.

though there are exceptions, some people are naturally good and well behaved whether financially confortable or not.

A man's financial status affects his mood atimes. Some men become irritable when poor while others are humble when poor, the same when he is rich. Some men are full of themselves when rich while others are not. There is no pattern to it

Am a cool nd caring guy, whether broke or not, my personality still remains the same.... Although, its vice-versa for some guys.... So its not generally applicable to all men.... ##Shekina...

This is not restricted to men alone. women do the same thing. It basically boils down to a persons ego. Once people get money, their egos become over inflated. Someone who never had who suddenly gets money, will sometimes forget where they came from.

pendo,i'm not stubbornly sticking to my opinion...and i do understand that there are people who no matter what never let their situations get the better of them..
That's why this topic is here...for your opinion!
Btw,i love this part of your post...

@bittyend...like i said..i have reasons to believe what i believe...
I have had boyfriends i stuck with through thick and thin and then get to see a whole new person as soon as the money starts rolling in..
...and then i have an in-law whom we all thought to be gentlemanly,decent,(the S.U kinda brother ) and almost a dunce before marrying my cuz..he didn't have a good job then and my cousin was desperate to marry.
Fast-forward,two years later when things have gotten better,the story changed altogether!
..now,those are just a few of my reasons..
There are others..but i respect ur angle all the same!

if anyone's financial status changes then chances are that person may also change as well.....whether male or female. unless someone has already been rich before, it is completely NORMAL for them to lose their goddam mind.

MRbrownJAY:

you should understand that this topic is in relation to relationships...not generally..
The most a lady/woman can do if she becomes rich is let it get into her head and become arrogant and disrespectful to her partner which is mostly at her own disadvantage but a man's finances getting better is a catalyst to lots of things...especially an opportunity to flirt and date more women and less attention/regard for your girl.
...and btw..there are exceptions of course!!

^^^^ you DO know that only women should be blamed for that, right? and how can being arrogant and disobedient be a disadvantage to that particular lady?

also, not all men are hoping to become playaz, many are happy with ONE good woman.....but i certainly understand why a man that was "pretending" to be satisfied with his partner, would suddenly start dating anything in a skirt, the minute he became rich.

many people are dating out of convenience, many people are married out of desperation.....and therefore such behaviour would be normal and very understandable.

also, we all know how people "settle" in marriage (aka wifey was slim and sexy before marriage, and now she is a baby whale), so it is also understandable that any man married to this (now) baby whale would now have the means and the audacity to get himself an arm candy/trophy partner (if he suddenly became rich).

the important point IS: isnt it good that the wifey/gf finally discovers who her partner really is?!?!?!?!

women are no different to such act..... i doubt any would stick to their pot bellied husband if THEY suddenly became rich. i also doubt they will still be the quiet obedient person they were before their newlyfound riches......... so whatever the act is, after that person becomes rich it's irrelevant, as the result will be the same: BREAK UP!

lol @ baby whale.

Man's behaviour ≠ Man's financial status. There is no evidence of such a relationship.

I think the widness in scope of the topic is making people to give it a different direction. It would hav been 'men's attitute towards relationship changes with improved financial condition'. This I can support because I can count upto ten men that I have seen with this attribute

maybe it should have been that..but then again..people who'll get it will get it..
Its use of english..

Let's assume that a certain Mrs. B has been married to a wealthy Mr. B for a decade or thereabout. Mrs. B might be tempted to think she knows everything there is to know about Mr. B, but for Mrs. B to truly know Mr. B, she must have observed Mr. B's behaviour(s)in a wide variety of situations over a period of time. What I'm saying au fond is: this men did not change, the so-called "alien" behaviour(s) was/were only dormant because there was no triggering stimulus.

Very very correct...lol...and you know what slim? NOTHING SCARES A MAN LIKE POVERTY AND DEATH!

Not necessarily, We are what we are.

Slimy...wats it with guy matter these days!

Back to ur topic.....A man's behaviour when MEGA or GIGA comes his way can be deduced with the way he handled the KILO back then!

ON POINT!

@Op not only the men,even most ladies would raise shoulders once they attain a higher level...its just the poor status that makes every1 humble!

My dear you are very correct.... never you trust the humility of a poor man.
But OP, women own dey worst passooooo
I feel you

@op well well... The fact that adversity breaks some and makes some to break record really say it all, albeit the influence of money cant just be underrate but GREAT PEOPLE know there is more to life than getting rich. Infact Money would never get the best out of REAL MEN/WOMEN never.

very very myopic reasoning by the o.p.

I believe that a womans loyalty is tested when her man has nothing and her mans loyalty is tested when he has everything.

elari: very very myopic reasoning by the o.p.

...and very very empty response by you!
