To girls, money is a great temptation.
To guy, pretty sexy girls are great temptation.

no la, but if you're poor and you manage to get a pretty girl, then its like a time bomb la, coz so many rich guys will chase her. Its only a matter of time she run off.

Again with the misconceptions.

Do you really think poor guys don't deserve love? (Let's not even talk about 'stingy', that's not even relevant.) And do you really think money is so easy to find? There are people out there trapped in a never-ending cycle of poverty - things like house and car that you take for granted, they're far beyond the reach of these people. Are you so inconsiderate, so insensitive, so lacking in empathy, that all you can say to them is "wake up and find more money"?

Money = Quality? I show you Guy A, who works as a car workshop mechanic, earns about RM2k a month, saving up as much as he can every month so he can buy a partnership share in his workshop. Now I give you Guy B, son of a rich timber tycoon, lives in a penthouse apartment and drives an imported sports car, has never held a job for longer than 6 months, and is now just bumming around until his father scolds him again for the umpteenth time to get a job.

Is Guy B a better person than Guy A? In every way? Really??

Okay, I admit, I'm throwing out straw men too. Not every rich guy is a spoiled slacker like Guy B. But the difference here is character. Is that not more important than money, in judging a person? If I had just said Guy A is a kind and decent man, Guy B is a spoiled and arrogant jerk, then asked you who is a better person - do you really need to know who has more money before you can answer that question?

I'm not saying money is not important. You're saying that money is the most important. You're wrong. You could not be more wrong.
I have a cousin. Smartest and most successful amongst his siblings. Worked in the oil business, conducted multi-million dollar deals, had a beautiful wife and son. Then one day he was arrested by the FBI in the States, on suspicion of having ties to terrorists, because of his business contacts in the Middle East. He was in jail for a couple of years while his case dragged on. His wife divorced him and took his son away. He was finally released, and right now he's trying to rebuild his business, and has since married a divorcee with a son of her own.

If you think money lasts longer than love... you're just flat-out wrong.

I can only hope you're a callow kid no older than 22, so that you still have some growing up to do. If you're not - well, then I hope you find exactly the kind of woman for you.
