If you dumped a wealthy man, would you regret it?

Background: I've dated a guy for a few weeks who was financially secure and very established in my town - the upper crust. But I soon realized that he was also arrogant and pretty shallow. Everyone on yahoo told me to drop him.





So last night he gave me this little speech, "sorry to hurt you kid, but I'd like to see you again when I'm in town."





I'm pretty sure that's code for: "I'd like to keep you around for a booty call when I'm in town." Right?





Soooo.... I told him that even if he were staying in town I don't think we were a good fit but it was nice to meet him, etc.





Then I talked to a friend last night and she wigged out, "What are you doing? That guy was the hottest bachelor around - you should've clung on tooth and nail."





Tell me I made the right decision. I may not be rich but I have my self respect....

If you don't see the qualities in him that you want in a man you definately should not see him again. I have freinds who are all about the money too, and it iritates me to no end. Be his friend and if its meant to be it'll happen. My grandmother use to tell me "you can love a rich man just as much as you love a poor man." She came from the depression generation and I saw her point. But I don't even need a man to live a good life and would rather have a man I respected and admired for who they are inside and how they make me feel.
Reply:it's up to what happens. FATE will determine this, not you.
Reply:You made the right decision. More women should be as intelligent as you obviously are.
Reply:If you stay with him you'll feel like a ho and your friends will think you're a money grabber, no matter what they tell you.





I'm rich %26amp; i'm not an asshole. However, it's easy to become one when there are girls like you to take advantage of.
Reply:Yes you did. It affects your entire life. You can't just face money forever.
Reply:You picked out his personality as a flaw when he was being arrogant. Wealth isn't everything!! And especially when he said that he would see you around, and called you 'kid'.. that doesn't really help his case either.





Just because someone has alot of money doesn't mean they've got a lot of personality to go with it. You definitely made the right choice.
Reply:Either you like arrogant and shallow or you don't. Money shouldn't come into it.
Reply:How is 'arrogant and shallow' a hot bachelor? Let someone else have that.





The only way to regret it, is if you only see him for money. Cause you already said he doesn't have anything else that reallly matters.





I laugh at some women. They think they will find a rich guy and be ok........that doesn't mean he will give YOU a dime!
Reply:you made the right decision, if he only wanted you for a booty call..





sometimes those rich handsome men.. just don't know how to be emotional.. even though they love you... If you two have conversations apart from sex... then sorry you made the wrong decision.








I've been asked out by 2 rich guys.. first rich guy thought he could get laid...(he was rich due to his parents) 2nd one is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyy very very very very very smart... but didn't know how to express his emotions. I could hold conversations with him for hours.. but then again it took him years to tell me that he liked me.. (i felt kind of bad.. it was a little too late)
Reply:I really don't think that his being wealthy is why you dumped him. I think it was the attitude he gave you. I probably would have said I wasn't just a booty call for anyone. That would have given him the opportunity to explain what he meant if not that. Otherwise, I think you did the right thing. If you think he was arrogant and shallow then it would have gotten worse after a few months with him. Good luck on finding someone you can have a real relationship with.
Reply:that's the right decision... it's not your lost it's he's lost
