Gold Diggers on Dr. Phil today...Your take

[Cap]

The irony is a lot of people don't realize there are infact 2 types of predators on the prowl there.
The gold-diggers, and the men who actually seek out these types of relationships to begin with,
...hopefully it's mutually rewarding. If not, in the end, it all boils down to who gets played by who.
It's a preet sad way to live if you ask me. Sounds like both types deserve each other.
When they hook up with each other, they do the rest of us a valueable service.

You and Geo bring up good points.  I think each group is sad, this thread was just devoted to the gold diggers.  I think guys who buy relationships are just as sad.  I will admit though, the guys are seen as more socially acceptable so public opinion is stacked against women.

1. Chick looks older than 24
2. She can't be bought yet she goes for guys with money? 
3. "How is he going to support me?"....and women wonder why men still think they should control their woman 
4. It's no wonder these women live unhappy lives, popping pills, having surgery after surgery, etc


All in all her scam seems like an expensive case of blue balls.  I think I'd be better off dating a stripper or hooker before this chick.  At least they are hot and I know the game up front.

I wanted to punch her in the face chris brown style

I don't think the gold diggers are more common, I think they just stand out more because they're so alarming.
I mean who would want to get caught in their clutches? ...especially when men are so vulnerable to them.

Dr. Phil actually read off a poll they took among men & women to see what their priorities were when seeking a relationship. It came down to Love, Sex, and Money. The women overwhelmingly responded love, with a very small percentage saying money, and I think something like 3% saying sex. Then they read the results from the men, And it was something like 30% of the men saying the #1 thing they sought out of a relationship was sex, money came in second and love third. So what does that say?    With more men looking for sex than there were women looking for money, there's plenty of hunting ground for the predators. I think it also illustrated how someone like her could resort to gold-digging as a defense mechanism.

And I think the women were lying. If more women sought relationships based on love, then their would not be soo many dysfunctional relationships, where the guy is not giving the "love", the woman wants. I think the women who Dr. Phil polled were only giving the safe, or socially acceptable reason. If women said  "Money" aka financial stability, then they too would like Gold-Diggers. If they said "Sex", then they would look like sluts.

This reminds me of one Dr. Phil that somebody posted, in which they had a Ladies man on, and the women were repulsed at his answers, but more or less repulse that he was right, or that they agreed with him.
