In a perfect world, everyone would date for love and passion but welcome to the real world, where people have various reasons for dating.
Some people’s reasons are valid and reasonable.
While for many others, their reasons are superficial and even borderline ridiculous.
Sometimes, love is included somewhere in their list of reasons, but it’s just one of the many other reasons and nowhere close to the top.
A larger percentage of their reasons are of other selfish bases that involve meeting their personal needs and not necessarily giving anything in return.
Today, we’ll look into the world of women who date men for money.
These sisters get into relationships with one mission: securing the bag, which is what they do.
Different women do these, and I’ll tell you who they are.
11 Types Of Women Who Date Men For Money
1. Miss survival mode
Little Miss Survival Mode belongs to the category of women who see dating as a hustle.
They’re steady on their grind, looking for ways to stay afloat financially and overcome economic hardship.
Dating just happens to be one of the business ideas they execute.
They’re of the mindset that a girl has got to do what a girl has got to do.
And if a rich man happens to come by when they require support, they happily date him.
There are no age limits for women in this category.
Little Miss Survival Mode can be a young woman in her prime, still finding her way through life, and she could be an older woman in her 50s who believes she can use what she has to get what she wants.
She can be a woman who’s never been married before, and she can be a single mum trying to meet the demands of her unique situation.
2. The heartbroken woman
This woman has dated for love before, but what did she get in return?
Heartbreak.
Heartbroken women are another category of women who may date men for their money.
The heartbroken woman who does this believes that since she has tried to date for love and with a soft heart, but it didn’t work out for her, instead, it left her broken, it is time to date for benefits.
And so, when a man with money comes to her, whether or not she has feelings for him, she may decide to date him.
3. The poor woman
The poor woman is different from little Miss Survival Mode in that, in her case, she is always broke.
For Miss Survival mode, it’s a temporary occurrence, and she does it only when she needs to, but for the poor woman, it’s a lifestyle.
The poor woman never has her own money because she’s financially disadvantaged and mentally bankrupt.
She believes that she solely has to rely on a man to be financially stable and that she can’t be financially independent on her own as a woman.
Women like this don’t do much for themselves because they don’t believe they can, so they remain poor.
And you know there’s a popular saying that “Whether you believe you can or you believe you can’t, you are right.”
These women believe that they can’t stand on their own, so they always have to rely on a man.
They may be made to bury their pride and dignity and do degrading stuff just to secure the bag.
4. Women who don’t care much about romance and love
Another category of women who date for money is women who are apathetic to love.
They either hate love due to past trauma or mindset, or they are simply uninterested in matters of the heart.
These women don’t go into any relationships because they’re head over heels in love with a man or because he makes their hearts beat faster.
That’s just not their vibe.
So, if they are to get into any relationship, it has to be for other reasons.
A handsomely rich partner can be one of those reasons.
5. The greedy woman
You knew we would get to her, right?
Of course, we have to mention the greedy woman.
She’s never satisfied with what she has, so she’s always searching for more.
Her wants are insatiable, and she craves what she can’t afford.
So she resorts to cleaving to a man who can get them for her.
6. The materialistic woman
The materialistic woman and the greedy woman are not very far apart.
It can be the same person sometimes.
The materialistic woman loves and craves the luxuries of life.
The Victoria’s Secret, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Fenty Beauty.
These things make her blood rush and excite her in unimaginable ways.
But there’s a clause.
She can’t afford these luxury brands and products with her meager paycheck.
The solution?
She seizes any opportunity to be a trophy girlfriend or wife, spending her man’s money and looking pretty.
7. The guarded woman
Women who are scared of getting used may decide to play a fast game by using the man before he uses them.
She does not want to go in with her heart only to get it broken and shattered, so she goes in with her head instead.
And if the relationship does not work out at the end of the day, at least she didn’t lose all around.
She got something out of it.
She got to protect her heart and still won financially.
8. The realistic woman
The realistic woman is a woman who believes in mind over matter.
She uses her heart, but she uses her head more.
She believes that love should come second and money should come first.
For her, marrying solely for the sake of love would be a great mistake because love cannot pay the bills or put a meal on the table.
Love doesn’t last during a financial crisis either because there’ll be a lot of fighting.
She desires the tenderness that love brings, but she’d pick the comfort that money brings over it.
9. Women with daddy issues
This category of women fancy older men who are usually very rich because of a deficiency in their lives.
Nigerians have a slang for it, “Aristo.“
They have daddy issues either because they had an absent father or an unhealthy relationship with their biological father.
Now, they seek a boyfriend or a husband they can look up to in every way, including financially.
10. Women who haven’t found love
Sometimes, the only reason some women date for money is because they haven’t found love, and like they say, when the desirable is not available, the available becomes desirable.
She wants to love and be loved but hasn’t found that yet, so she goes for the next best thing: dating for money.
Perhaps along the line, she’ll find love, and even if she finds it in someone else, she may still go for it because that is what she wanted in the first place.
It’s a jackpot for her if money is also present, and she eventually finds love.
11. Miss soft life
These women believe that life is meant to be lived and lived well.
They’re unapologetic and unbending in their decision to date only financially capable men.
This is not necessarily because they’re poor.
Many women who are like this are so because they have their own money and are very comfortable, and they don’t want to deal with anything less than they’re used to.
They’d only date a man if he looks like he can meet up with their standard or even upgrade it.
It’s their decision, and whether or not it’s right is not the topic for today.
It is important that I mention that you shouldn’t generalize or put anyone in any of these boxes by mere assumptions or superficial judgments.
Although these categories of women exist, you have to be very observant to be able to tell one when you see her.
