Gold Digging 101–Part IV

Hey yall,

Ladies, I know you’re excited to begin putting this information to work. However, please believe that these men are on to you. Now, some of you may still be in denial with your title and your actions. In spite of this, if you used the tips in any of the previous blogs, you are indeed a gold digger! Don’t deny it…just accept it and make it work! So you may ask yourself, technically, “What is a gold digger?” According to the Urban Dictionary, the definition of a gold digger is “any woman whose primary interest in a relationship is material benefits. A woman who cares more about a man’s bank account than she does about the man.” (Let me add by saying that a gold digger is not a groupie, nor is a woman who dates men with money but is looking for love is simply a gold digger. Many people confuse the three.)

Now, that you’ve accepted your title and men are hip to the game, what’s next? Well, let the games begin! Men have tips on recognizing a gold digger. Men are fully aware of your actions. They have been schooled just like you’ve been schooled. They know that gold diggers have been around for a very long time looking for an easy meal ticket without having to work hard to provide for their own needs. This includes gold digging wannabe’s looking for lessons on how to be a gold digger in order to live a high-society, high-maintenance lifestyle with someone else’s hard-earned money. They use the following FIVE signals to identify whether or not you’re a gold digger.

I. Top 10 Things Gold Diggers Want to Know:
1. What do you do for a living?
2. How much money do you make?
3. Where do you live?
4. Do you own your own home?
5. What kind of car do you drive?
6. Do you have a boat? If so, what kind?
7. What kind of restaurants do you frequent?
8. Where do you like to shop for clothes?
9. What kind of watch or jewelry do you wear?
10. Do you have any children? If so, how many?

II. Gold diggers are a walking, talking, calculator. Every question or conversation that remotely relates to money is being used to calculate the percentage of the money that she feels entitled to benefit from, because she “deserves” it. Questions about how many children you have may appear to be harmless conversation, but the gold digger wants to determine how much of your time and money will go to the kids and how much time and money will be spent on her.

III. Beware of anyone who asks for money to pay bills. Or even drops hints that they are struggling financially or can’t pay their own car insurance, because they are hoping you’ll take the hint and offer to give them money. Grown women should be able to take care of their own financial needs with hard work and effort.

IV. Does she expect you to pick up the tab? Any self-respecting man or woman would come fully prepared to pay for their own meal (rather than running to the bathroom when the bill arrives), and that old cliche about men always having to pay for meals is ludicrous, especially in the early stages of dating. If your date demands or expects to be taken to the fanciest and most expensive fine dining restaurants in town, regardless of whether you can afford it or not, red flags are flying and this gold digging behavior should be taken as a major sign of trouble to come.

V. She wants to go shopping, especially in the early months of the relationship. If and when you do decide to go shopping with her, pay close attention to verbal and non-verbal clues that may indicate the tendency to only want to shop in high-end, expensive stores or boutiques. Gold diggers expect to be pampered, catered to and coddled on your dime, rather than spending their own money on the things they need or want.

Ladies, now that you know what they are thinking and what they are paying attention to, you must be smarter than them!! Remember, men are not the smarter species…women are. You know what cards they have in their hands! Therefore, you have to be one step ahead of them. Think of it this way. If you are a boxer and is preparing for a match in a few months, you first get your mind right. You understand your current state, set goals, then visualize your outcome. You also practice like a bat out of hell so you can be at your best. Next, you may watch video of your opponent to know their mannerisms. Finally, you use that information to defeat them!!!!

As stated earlier, you know you are a gold digger but suppose you don’t want to appear like a gold digger. If that is the case, then do none of the things that are on a man’s “gold digging signals” list! You can still be a gold digger…but don’t just be any ole gold digger….be a SMART gold digger. You can still get what you want….simply use a different approach. For example, rather than flat out asking, “Where do you live?” say, “What’s your address? I want to send you an invitation to my charity event?” You still learn where they live but it doesn’t seem as obvious. Role play at home with your gold digging friend to practice certain situations so you are ready for any question or scenario!!! Practice makes perfect! Good luck!!! Make me proud bitches!

Note: If any of you bitches come up, I want 10%!!!! *Smooches!*

If you want to know how to be a groupie, how to find love and money, how to attract a man with money, or how to keep a man with money and maintain a long term relationship, you must understand that these are all different topics and require different tactics! (Personally, I can’t give too much of the game away….so ask Cassandra 😉
