Is the economy helping or hurting the quest for love??

Well, I was in line today to mail something and a woman was complaining to the guy that owns the place about her bad dating stories.  Seeing that I’m all about that, I asked her what was the problem.  I guess a man she met through a mutual friend (and I hope I have all the story correct) and had dated three weeks did something she considered shady. 

When they met, he told her that financially he was in dire straits and didn’t have any money.  She continued to date him, because she liked the guy.  He asked her to come over to his house and even gave her a key to it, which would indicate that he liked her too. 

Well, I guess he told their mutual friend,  the story about his finances were false.  He said he used that line with the women in Scottsdale to see if they liked him for him, or his money.  Her friend then told her what he said, and she broke it off with him immediately, and was really pissed he lied to her.  So, who do you think was right and who was wrong?? 

A very wealthy friend of mine was talking to me a few months ago about the dating scene here.  He’s an attractive guy, and most wouldn’t know how wealthy he is unless they were told.  He doesn’t wear his money on his sleeve, except his clothes are custom made.  He said that he had never had so much attention from women in his life as recently and attributed it to the economy.  He said that women are really husband hunting because they are afraid of being single and dealing with the economy on their own. 

They say that less people are getting divorced now because they can’t afford to, does that also mean that more people are getting married because they can’t afford to be single?  Are more women than usual looking for wealthy men because of their losses in the stock market or unemployment?  Are girls nights out becoming a way of looking for a Mrs degree?  Wtf is up with all that.  Care to share your thoughts?
