Why is it that so many women either start a chat with, OR somewhere in the first minute will ask, "How much money do you make?"
(Just a headsup, how much money I make does NOT determine the type of person I am. Asking that question DOES indicate to ME the type of person you are.)

No body has ever asked me about money .....aside from scammers that is. Even they usually take their time. It generally takes them at least 24 hours to "fall in love".

Must be able to bear children. Otherwise, what's the point?
My first question would not be about money, rather are you indicating that all you want a woman for is to bear your children? You are in your 50's.. how many mature, intelligent women close to your age want to "bear" children? Just asking......

I want kids too but it's not a deal breaker and I'm not in my 50s. I'd be happy to find a woman with young children who's father was preferably long gone so I could adopt but that's not a deal breaker either. .

I never ask a guy how much money he makes; I will ask what they do, what their job is, etc.

I have asked that question but it was done in a kidding way that the guy knew that i was joking, and then I get some responds back like well enough to take you traveling around the world and such. Something totaly out there allowing the joke to linger on for a while.
I would never ask it straight out and expect the truth though.

i would NEVER ask that because it doesnt matter how much or how little money you have. Maybe there is something in your profile that is attracting those type of women

I can't say I've ever heard that from a woman either, though as far as you'r original three words: "why is it" the popular theory among anthropologist and other knowledgeable folk is that it's due to the hard wired priorities for each gender from prehistoric times.
Women, being the childbearers, have a vested interest in their young, and want a mate who can provide them with food, protect them from wild beasts and generally take care of them while they nurse their young.
it's the same reason attractiveness is a priority for men, it implies that the woman is healthy, and therefore fertile, and the men, who don't have the ability to bear young want every chance to continue their blood line, so they choose the woman who gives them the best shot. that';s the same reason men seem to be inclined to cheat. in prehistoric times, it was just the male trying to increase his odds of procreating. especially since he probably wouldn't live past 30.
That said I'm trying to invite any attacks or accusations of sexism. I Know these things aren't true of every man, or every woman, I'm just providing generalizations. But if you find most women asking you how much money you make, it may just be the prehistoric woman in her try to figure out if you're a good hunter/gatherer.

I have never asked a man how much money he makes.....it's irrelevant to me. As long as he isn't planning on mooching off me and can support himself....that's all that matters. Anyone who would ask that isn't looking for a relationship...they want a sugardaddy.
I can still "bear children"......but ain't no way in hell I would even consider it at my age. I keep begging my GYN to just take all my "parts" out.....this baby maker is permanently retired!!!! LOL

Well, I'd expect that if he wants someone to bear his children, she should have the right to know if he's able to support them...otherwise, what's the point?

I have never ever asked a man that question.
The ones who ask the question are obviously not interested in you as a person.
They have motives that you clearly are not interested in.
Next time someone asks you that question, drop them on chat line faster than a hot potato!

From looking at his profile and tonight's blog I think you're right. The fantasy Russian woman is just that, a fantasy. I don't know why some people believe that a Russian, Chinese, or Philippine woman has a desperate need to be with an American man her fathers age. I've got a Russian female friend who lives down the street from me. She says there's no real difference between Russian and American women and I can't see that she's any different other than the fact that she swears in Russian.
Chances are, if she's looking for a man twice or more her age and she's overseas, she has something other than love on her mind.
