Rare in what sense? Not being a golddigger?
I think a lot of women want a comfortable lifestyle, but that doesn't mean that they're going to use a guy to get it. That type of chick has a set frame of mind and that's what she's attracted to.
This.
I'm offended by the suggestion that alot of women are golddiggers (no matter who makes the comment). To be sure, there are some out there. But this post speaks more accurately, imo. I know I would like a guy who has a job that I'm interested in, so when he wants to talk about his day (if he does), I can listen and make intelligent conversation with him.
I won't lie - if I met a man who had all the other qualities I look for in a guy and he was loaded, I sure wouldn't mind being spoiled a bit. I've never been and I probably wouldn't handle it well. But if money is all he has going for him? Naw. I want love and friendship and fun and sexual unity. As long as we can make a comfortable living together, he enjoys his job and it's one I'm interested in, I'm happy. For me, it's more about whether he is intelligent, educated and if he is savvy with what he does earn. (And yeah, if he was a nurse, that would be ok. I like medicine so I could talk to him about his career. A mechanic, not so much. I'm not really into cars.)
I don't know any women, personally, who insist on a man with alot of money. None of my friends, aquaintances, co-workers, family, etc. Not one.
