(BlackDoctor.org) — What woman hasn’t dreamed of, or at least heavily entertained, the idea of marrying a man rolling in cash? Glamorous vacations, fancy dinners, and shopping sprees is the stuff movies are made of; and maybe that’s where these dreams should stay.
Of course, dating a man with money comes with perks, but it also comes with its share of headaches and heartaches. And for the average person during these times, there are fewer rich guys to go around. More women than men are graduating from college these days, so women are increasingly marrying guys with less education and income than they have themselves, according to a report released by the Pew Research Center. Also, fewer women have suffered job loss due to recession compared to men. So don’t write him off right away if his bank account isn’t big. Scientists believe men who make less money come with certain advantages.
He’s More Likely to Be Faithful
When Tiger Woods apologized, he implied that he felt entitled by his success to have affairs. He’s not alone. Research shows that wealthy men tend to be hypocrites when it comes to cheating. Also, if he believes you depend on him, he’s less likely to feel remorseful about his transgressions.
He’ll Charm Your Friends and Family… Genuinely
Low-and middle-income men are more polite than wealthy guys when they meet new people, according to the journal Psychological Science. When study authors watched rich and poor guys get acquainted with strangers, the less well-off men talked and laughed more and made more eye contact than the rich, who exhibited rude behavior such as fidgeting, ignoring others and paying too much attention to their own appearance. Subconsciously, rich men may not believe they need to make connections with people as a survival skill because they have money, said Dacher Keltner, Ph.D., author of Born to Be Good.
