Can this really be true,is money that important in a relationship..
I would rather be poor with a man I love,than rich with someone I don’t..
How about you ??
Money can buy you love – especially if you are a Romeo with savings, new research suggests.
Today’s modern woman favours a prudent partner over a flashy spendthrift, a survey from Yorkshire Building Society found.
Almost two-thirds of female respondents said they would prefer to date a man with no debt.
And just under half said having savings was a desirable quality in a man.
Woman are also keen on men with a good sense for a bargain, according to the report.
A third said they were impressed by men who resist spending on impulse and hunt for a good deal.
Only 4% said they would want to date a man who is always spending and has the latest of everything. And when it came to looking for a long-term partner, the figure dropped to 2%.
In contrast, receiving inexpensive but thoughtful gifts was rated higher than being indulged with lavish presents.
Almost 60% of women responding to the survey said they wanted to date or have a long-term relationship with a man who gave thoughtful but low cost gifts, compared to just 3% who wanted pricey but less personal gestures.
Tanya Jackson, spokeswoman for Yorkshire Building Society, said: “It seems money really can buy you love as today’s singles search for a saving-smart superhero to settle down with.
“We are more likely to be swept off our feet with a thoughtful gift than a flashy gesture.
“Modern romance appears to be more practical, with a savings habit seen as an indication of your success in life, making those who watch the pennies the ones more likely to find long-lasting love.”
