Why Men Love Bitches

Financial neediness is no different than emotional
neediness; in both instances, he can still get the feeling
that he has a 100 percent hold on you.
Another woman I know, Michelle, was living with a man for four
years. For most of that time, he paid every bill and never
complained because Michelle didn’t have any money coming in.
Then she inherited some money. She had $120,000 sitting idle in a
savings account. At that point, he asked Michelle to help pay some
bills; she declined.
He didn’t ask her to carry all the weight, or even half the weight.

---

He merely asked her to pitch in. The interest from her capital would
have been more than enough to show him that she was pitching in
for a few bills. Still, Michelle insisted that the money was for “her
retirement.”
Shortly thereafter, he “retired” from the relationship—at which
point she moved out. She was then forced to pay several times the
amount of money for her own living expenses. Contributing within
her means would have been the right thing to do. It was also the
financially advantageous thing to do. But the point is not purely
financial. The relationship would have had a better chance of
working if she had 
balanced things out
by pitching in.
One selfmade millionaire named Benji described his perspective:
“One thing a successful man learns very quickly is that women
respond to his money. They realize that women will line up for a
man with deep pockets. All he has to do is show them that he is
wealthy or that he drives a nice car and that he owns a big house.
And they line up like ducks.”
Granted, there are plenty of affluent men who like having an
accoutrement or a Barbie doll on their arms who, they hope, will
graduate into the esteemed ranks of a “Stepford Wife.” But this
man is not a “quality catch,” and this woman will not have any
“staying power.” He’ll be much more likely to trade in a helpless
“dingy” type of woman for a newer model because he sees her as a
toy to begin with. What a quality man wants “for keeps” is a strong
woman. He wants a partner he respects and one who is worth
catching: an 
equal.
He may provide more monetarily, and she may

be a stay-at-home mother. But she is contributing. In other words,
she isn’t “on the take” and she can stand on her two feet. This
means she is there by 
choice.
