Lots of people tend to think that being concerned about finances is a character flaw, but there are probably a lot more otherwise healthy relationships that fall apart because of financial stress than there are those that suffer because of financial success. I mean, who would you date: someone that can't get his/her act together or someone who knows how to take care of him/herself and others? It's true, perhaps, that love should be the most important thing but being responsible and successful are admirable, loveable traits like any other.

Another rather unreasonable misconception is the idea that being focused on money means that you're superficial or materialistic. I suppose that if someone wanted money for its own sake, or simply as a status symbol, this might be true. However, I think that for most people money simply represents adaptability, security and freedom. It gives you the flexibility to face the world on your own terms and be reasonably sure that you'll be able to overcome other challenges. If you're dreaming of family life, you're probably dreaming of a family that's secure and isn't struggling to survive.

The desire to share your life with someone who has a track record for getting ahead, making good decisions and being responsible seems pretty reasonable to me. Naturally, there also has to be respect and chemistry and all the qualities that make that possible, but I think starting your search by limiting yourself to people that can at least take care of themselves is a pretty fair way to proceed, and a wealthy men dating service can be a good place to start.
