JIB Inspiration: DOES MONEY MAKE A MAN?!

One evening on my way home, I had my radio tuned to " Life issues with Chaz B" and the topic was up for discussion. Various callers and tweets and facebook posts with varying opinions.
Does it surprise you though that most women, not men, opposed the motion?
*smiles*



Well it didn't surprise me too.... *winks*

The annoying part though was how some of the men who called, said most women considered men  more attractive if they are wealthy? While others claimed the society judges a man based on the amount of money that he has and not other qualities.

*sighs*
First of all, I think the question 'Does Money Make a Man?' has a very simple answer; Yes or No? Then one may proceed to give personal and intelligent reasons as to why they picked either Yes or No. I think it is irresponsible to blame anything on the society or other people ( in this case, Women)

Besides if a woman turns you down because of your lack of money, shouldn't you be grateful?!
What about vision and goals? Your poise and ability to express yourself? How you handle yourself in the face of provocation, pressure e.t.c?
Most importantly, how about your CHARACTER? Who you are when nobody is watching?

I am tired of hearing men say women like money too much, therefore money does make a man. This is a huge lie!
I know a lot of ladies who are hardworking and trying to make a good life for themselves without the support of any man. I am not saying there aren't women who truly think money makes a man and act likewise, but it is definitely not a societal thing.
Besides, if you are hardworking, treat her right and of sound character, then you need not fear that a responsible woman would turn you down for lack of money.
Also, how many women has the average man met that helped him draw this conclusion? 5 women? 50? 50,000? How many exactly?

So until an average man and 99 others have each met 10, 000 women who all wanted them for their money, please cease from spreading such untrue statements?
Finally, it is also commonly said that most men are 'intimidated' by wealthy women. How true is this too? I have heard it severally but I do not go about giving that as reasons not to still strive to succeed. I also do not believe that notion is valid either.

*sighs*

Fellow humans who think Money does make a man, I trust that you have experiences that have convinced you; still I advise that you rethink your belief.
Character, Integrity, Faithfulness, Strength,  Resourcefulness, Fear of God, Intelligence, Wisdom, Great leadership skills, Patience, Tolerance, Humility e.t.c makes a man.
If he has a strong character, money or lack thereof won't change him.
Money does NOT make a man sweeties!
