Wealthymr's blog: "There are no Strangers"

I have received several messages asking me why I freely divulge my wealth: This Blog will answer these questions....

You should not tell people that your wealthy because then they will only be interested in you for your money” --- or  I am asked “How do I know if a women is only interested in me because of my money”  Oh come on guys I would not represent my wealth if I did not consider both questions before I included it in my profile. First, I come from a very poor family; I know the meaning of broke better than most. I made my first million by the age of 30 and have dealt with the stigma associated with wealth ever since. There will always be people who are more interested in my wealth at first, and for the most part, want to know how I got so rich.  The truth is the myth of a wealthy man losing all his money to a gold digger is just that, a myth. We are on guard always to the motives of people we meet more so than the average person. It is easy to see those who want something for nothing, it’s not women I am concerned about, it’s the stock brokers that scare the hell out of me. So what if what I have to offer someone includes the fact that I am wealthy, it’s part of the package, a fringe benefit of sorts. I am a package deal just as we all are on Fubar. The other comment I get occasionally that does frustrate me is “You should hide your wealth so you can meet someone who you know is truly interested in you for who you are not what you have” Let me say this, I have not heard someone say to a women with breast implants that she should hide them to avoid the guys who may be attracted to her based solely on the size of her chest. Gene Simmons of Kiss openly advertises his tongue and all it represents, should he keep his mouth shut? What would happen to kiss if Gene Simmons showed no tongue? If you are a personal trainer with a hard body should you hide that fact and tell others that you’re a couch potato. It’s no secret that the women on this site that have a sexy picture get more hits than the ladies who show nothing, I have not heard a man complain that they should hide their sex appeal. We all know that sex sells or at least gets the attention of men more often than not.  There are many women on Fubar that use it to attract men to their profile. The hard truth is that for a man considered handsome,  and not a Brad Pitt type,  he may need to pull out that extra about him that sets him apart from the pack . Is it not common sense to go into shark infested waters on a boat not a raft. What would you choose to go out in? The raft offers nothing in the way of security that would appeal to someone who was offered the security of a boat instead. Therefore I see nothing wrong with women wanting to have financial security as part of their decision process when it comes to a meaningful relationship, wealth of course provides the financial security. She should not be judged for it either. The bottom line is we all represent the best of us in our profile, simply stated the profile is just a snap shot of the person, a picture we have taken ourselves that we want the public to see in the hopes that the package we represent will open a door to the possibility that we may have enough in common to build a friendship.

I am here to make friends, share my life and the things that God has so freely blessed me with and give you a glimpse of the life style I have that many have a misconception of. I have made some friends on this site that I look forward to chatting with each day, that is what the site has given me. I am grateful to be a part of the Fubar family so please accept me and be my friend.Please don’t tell me this either, I already know from experience that there are more important things in life than money!!
