    Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley, and he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared with his friend.

    Why can't a woman find both? Are these things necessarily mutually exclusive? Are wealthy men inherently unlovable, while less well-off men are the ultimate in lovey-dovey perfection?

    I know of great guys out there -- journalists, teachers, non-profit dudes -- who will probably make great dads. But I personally wouldn't wouldn't advise women pair up with them because, realistically, his salaries just wouldn't be enough to cut it for what they want out of life.

    My salary is enough for what my child and I want out of life. I don't need a man to provide anything money can buy. Except maybe sex. I don't like paying for sex.

    ^^This. I hate paying for sex.

    I am "single" in the marital sense and provide just fine for Shiloh, Miss Pickles, Benjamin, mini and me.

    Having this guy in my life, and not his money, is just a bonus...

    YES!!

    All the money could not change the fact that he is a douch if he is or keep me at his side if he cheats... so money as long as he is independent (meaning I won't be taking care of him) doesn't matter to me... nor do I expect for him to take care of me financially...

    Not Jane Austin but.......


    ""If you do not believe that hearts can bloom suddenly bigger, and that love can open like a flower out of even the hardest places, then I am afraid that for you the road will be long and brown and barren, and you will have trouble finding the light.

    But if you do believe, then you already know all about magic."

    Since when does a man have to provide for a woman?

    If both work and support themselves, and they can both put a little aside for a child, then what more do you need? I don't expect or want a man to support me. I think I might become a paranoid wreck if one ever did! hahha
