Frugality and the ability to give love are not intertwined.
You are likely a woman who never spent much time asking herself what she BROUGHT to a relationship, only what she could GET.
My best friend just got dumped by a woman who is seeking a "millionaire."
One week later, he is out with friends, and meets a woman who is a millionaire.
They have a date Sat night.
Karma, bitches.
I agree with you, but don't fool yourself into believing the Warren Buffet fairy tales. The man spends an assload of money. He is considered frugal for someone who could never run out of money, but his spending would put even the high-rollers on LetsRun to shame.
Believe me, he takes his wife to dinner at French Laundry. He buys her nice cars. He might still have his first car but he has someone else drive him around 75% of the time.
An old girlfriend of mine lives in Omaha and said he is the nicest guy she ever met, but also had stories of his lavishing of money on various local businesses, etc. I think it is a good thing, don't get me wrong...
People should use their money for what they think is important. To many, spending money on loved ones is the most important thing they could do. I happen to agree. I don't buy stupid crap, but i do buy nice things for my kids.
The key is to find a woman who doesn't care about money and then spoil her rotten!
