Welcome to ALUX.com!
The place where future billionaires come to get inspired.
Hello Aluxers and welcome back to another original video presented to you by out team here at Alux.com.
Chances are you work hard for your money and don’t like to see it wasted.
Unfortunately, there will always be those who like to capitalize off of other people’s success,
and we’re talking about a specific group of these people today—gold diggers.
You know the type—a person, typically an attractive woman who dates someone or even marries them
purely so that they can benefit from their financial success.
We’re not saying she’s a gold digger—well, actually yes we are if she’s showing some or all of the signs we’re about to discuss today, so let’s get started.
When you just start dating someone, you can expect to get the standard round of questioning
you know, what’s your job, how many siblings you have, where you were born, etc., etc.
But if you notice that the line of questioning from the girl you are interested in is singularly focused on your finances, red flags should start flying.
A gold digger will go deeper than the standard what’s your job question.
They'll want to know the specifics of how much money you have coming in and how much of your disposable income they can get her hands-on
If your girlfriend or boyfriend is a gold digger,
don’t even think of giving them a customized coupon book they can redeem for a free back massage or a homecooked meal.
They’d probably throw that right in the garbage.
Sentimental gifts from the heart have no value for them.
They definitely want gifts but not that kind.
It might be subtle or direct, but most gold diggers know how to use sex and seduction to get what they want.
This could involve withholding sex until you buy them something they have their eye on
or promising certain favors in exchange for a bigger allowance, for example.
The best gold diggers will be much more subtle,
and you may not even realize how much you are being manipulated until your bank account is empty and they’ve moved on to someone else.
Even if you are a guy who always insists on paying all the time, most girls will at least offer every once in a while or pick up a tab here and there.
But not a gold digger.
You will never see them reaching for their purse unless it’s to pull out the credit card you gave them.
This is another form of manipulation that gold diggers use to get more out of their targets.
They will pick fights over absolutely nothing and blow them up to epic proportions.
Then they might resort to the classic silent treatment or refuse to put the argument aside
until you offer an apology in the form of a gift of course.
But not just any gift will do.
It will need to be something sufficiently expensive.
What’s your favorite color? Most embarrassing secret?
Which movie have you watched at least 20 times?
If you’re dating a gold digger, she probably won’t have a clue.
They won’t be trying to get beneath the surface to find out what drives you, what’s shaped you as a person,
and what you like and dislike.
They will, however, show a great interest in how much is in your bank account and how financially successful you are in your work.
If you like shallow conversation and repeating yourself often, a gold digger could be the right person for you.
They are not trying to hear all the details about your day or listen to you vent about the problems of your life.
If it doesn’t have anything to do with them or your financial situation, expect a gold digger to quickly tune you out.
A gold digger isn’t worried about saving money because they know there’s more where that came from.
When they get money, they spend it—often on extravagant clothing or items to complement their extravagant lifestyle.
Gold diggers are living large, but not on their own dime.
Well, not quality time with you anyway.
They will probably be more than happy spending the day with her friends shopping and getting spa treatments
as long as you pass off your credit card,
but when it comes time to snuggle in and watch a movie or take a walk in the park or engage in any other form of quality time with you,
they probably won’t be anywhere to be found.
Gold diggers aren’t going to have career aspirations or even the desire to get a job.
In their mind, their full-time job is working over their mark—which could be you if you don’t pay attention to the signs.
Laziness and a lack of ambition are two clear signs that this person is planning to rely solely on your success
without contributing anything from their end.
A gold digger will be much more attached to your money than they are to you, so when the money goes, so will they.
They are careful not to develop actual feelings for their mark, and they never even get close to falling in love.
So if you find yourself in a situation where you’ve got to break up with a gold digger, don’t worry about hurting their feelings.
They probably won’t even give you a second thought after they’ve found a new target.
You can tell a lot about a person by the company that they keep,
so if you suspect a woman of being a gold digger, take a look at some of her friends.
If they show some of these signs we’re talking about today, there’s a good chance she will too.
If you’re not careful, your money could be bankrolling the lifestyles of not only your significant other but also her friends as well.
All Aluxers love the finer things in life, but gold diggers take it to another level.
They have to have the finest clothes, the fanciest car, designer accessories, and the perfect house,
but of course, they aren’t willing to do any of the work to own these things.
They will also act snobby toward those who they perceive as having low status like service workers,
and they won’t be drawn to anyone who isn’t able to provide at least the perception of high-class living.
If you look back through a gold digger’s dating history, you will likely find that each boyfriend is richer than the last.
A gold digger is always looking to upgrade, so if someone richer comes along, the last mark will mercifully be left behind.
Well Aluxers, we’ve reached number one on our list, and this is a sign that we’ve seen over and over again
average looking men of means with drop-dead gorgeous women.
Now we know beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
but if perfect 10s never paid attention to you before you had money, it’s probably not you specifically that they are attracted to.
If she’s out of your league and you know it, you might want to question her intentions,
especially if you are noticing several of the other signs on this list.
There are plenty of people who are perfectly aware that their money is what attracted their mate,
and as long as you are both happy with the arrangement, we say live your best life.
And that wraps up for today, Aluxers.
Make sure you keep these signs in mind whenever you suspect a person is more interested in your wallet than your personality.
We don’t want any of our Aluxers being taken advantage of, so keep your eyes open out there!
Now that we’ve reached the end of our list we’d like to know:
Let us know in the comments.
And, of course, for sticking with us until the end, here's a bonus fact just for you:
One of the most well-known women accused of being a gold digger was Anna Nicole Smith.
She met a very wealthy oil tycoon named J. Howard Marshall in 1991 when she was working at a strip club.
He was known for giving her lavish gifts and anything she wanted.
She married him in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26.
He passed away 13 months later.
She was not in the will but fought in the courts for a portion of the estate.
That battle was still ongoing when she died from a drug overdose at the age of 39.
