Growing in a household where my mother was the breadwinner and my father was Mr. Mom, taking care of the house, the kids and cooking dinner, I was raised to have an I.W.A--- Independent Woman Attitude. My mother has told me from a very young age, to never depend on a man for money. Always have your own career, work hard and be successful by your own means...and I've always kept that value very close to heart. Being a woman who has literally worked 5 jobs at once (sounds unbelievable huh? BELIEVE IT) I was appalled at watching the Dr. Phil show yesterday. I felt like being sick. Gold diggers admitting to being full out gold diggers...WTF? This is 2009 people! How are women so proud of mooching off of someone else? And just as equally sickening, men who mooch off of women....Do you not have any shame? Do you not have any integrity? Pride for yourself? Dignity?
There's nothing wrong with finding somebody who has goals and who is ambitious attractive, but to just date or use someone based solely on their income alone is degrading not only to that person, but to yourself. If being independent and successful is attractive in a man, then by all means, it has to be attractive in a woman.
Lauren Lake says it best- Gold digging is just 2 sandwiches short of a prostitution picnic...and I must have to admit, I agree.
