Which of us does not dream of living in wealth and comfort? To some extent, we are all very mercantile personalities. The only difference is that for some, wealth is a cool bonus, while for others it is the meaning of life.
Many girls, having seen enough Disney cartoons about princesses in their childhood, and stealthily read women's novels, dream of a rich boyfriend. Luxurious courtship, expensive gifts and a life without worries. Story!
And some ladies are so obsessed with the desire to live in a fairy tale that they are ready to turn a blind eye to the shortcomings of a boyfriend and other little things like the lack of romantic feelings if the guy has an impressive bank account.
How to recognize such girls? We will talk about this in our article.
All chips are for appearance
A mercantile girl pays almost all her attention to her appearance. Just don't think that all well-groomed ladies are empty-headed beauties who only dream of becoming someone's kept woman!
Mercantile girls put their appearance above all else. Often they are terribly afraid of old age, because they subconsciously perceive themselves not as a self-sufficient person, but as a beautiful addition to a man. They realize that relationships with the male sex are not at all a partnership for them. Therefore, they accept the rules of the game and do everything so that, no matter how rude it may sound, they do not lose their value.
Most of the wardrobe is made up of branded items that literally ooze luxury. By the way, such girls do not always have good taste and sometimes look very caricatured.
Money needs to be spent
Our materialistic girl loves money with all her heart. And she loves to spend it. Shopping is her main (if not only) hobby.
She doesn't have to be a shopaholic. Although she still has a certain tendency to this. Running around the boutiques gives her incomparable pleasure. It is unlikely that she cares about the family budget. Even if her man cannot boast of a high income level, she will find a thousand and one reasons why she simply needed to buy this or that thing.
Equality doesn't work here
Going on a date with a man, she expects the gentleman to pay all expenses. Although it is worth noting here that non-mercantile girls also expect this from a man if they adhere to traditional views on courtship. The proposal to split the bill in half can cause them both surprise and a completely calm reaction – “what to do, these are modern realities.”
But the materialistic girl does not consider relationships at all in which she will have to pay for something . The earnings of a potential boyfriend excites her much more than his personal qualities. If you are not ready to pamper her with expensive gifts and fully provide, you will quickly be shown the door. And your fine mental organization and the ability to conduct interesting conversations will not help you here.
Luxury for show
Perhaps one of the main signs of a mercantile girl is the desire to flaunt her wealth. In this they differ from wealthy women who have made themselves on their own.
Self-made women do not need to prove anything to anyone – they are too busy with their personal affairs. Companions of wealthy men (companions, not kept women) treat their wealth in the same way as they treat themselves and their partners – with dignity. They will not hide their level of wealth from the eyes of envious people, as they do not consider it necessary. But they will not scream about their wealth either – why? To whom and what to prove?
Mercantile girls are literally obsessed with the desire to demonstrate to everyone the luxury in which they live. Or would like to live. There are numerous (often staged) photos on Instagram and heart-to-heart conversations with friends, acquaintances and everyone who comes to hand.
The whole world should know that she lives in luxury.
A glamorous life
More than anything else, a mercantile girl wants to live the glamorous life of a movie star. In what ways will its goal be achieved? It doesn't matter anymore. She is ready to go to great lengths. If necessary, any manipulations will be used.
A man who is not able to give such a girl a “glamorous” life is immediately written off. Youth is leaving, and she is not interested in paradise with a sweetheart in a hut.
A rich man = a good man
As has been repeatedly said above, such a girl evaluates men primarily by their level of income . She doesn't need all that cheap romance and sandwich dates in the park. Gifts “from the heart” do not impress her. And she does not understand how it could have occurred to someone that the main thing is attention, and not the cost of the presentation.
It is likely that her environment consists of girls like her. Who else can stand this machine-gun fire from pathos Instagram photos and endless discussion of the material side of our lives?
By the way, this is another reason why she invests so much time and money in her appearance – she has to match your surroundings.
Pride
Communicating with people, she habitually evaluates them by their appearance. In all her appearance, in the manner of holding and speaking, pride comes through. If she considers you an unworthy person, she will not even want to talk to you.
Often, such girls communicate very rudely with the attendants. Waiters, cleaners, couriers for them are second-class people. And this despite the fact that many materialistic girls have not worked a day in their lives.
Gifts
Mercantile girl loves gifts. Dear ones, of course. She accepts gifts without false modesty – the identity of the giver does not matter. If the offering is to her liking, she will gladly accept it.
But keep in mind that one pretty gift won't win her heart.
Money is an end in itself
Who among us does not dream of suddenly getting a large amount of money at his full disposal? Some dream of traveling, others of a prestigious education, and still others would like to provide a comfortable life for their family members. In other words, most of us are interested in money as a kind of tool to achieve a goal.
A mercantile girl often does not even have any specific goals. Money is the main goal in her life.
Do not offer a career
Mercantile girls do not want to make efforts to achieve their material goals. As such, they have no ambition.
Career women, of course, are interested in the financial side of success. A high level of income is one of the main goals of any person who is passionate about his career. There is nothing reprehensible in this. But the so-called self-made women are also interested in self-realization and moral satisfaction from their work.
Mercantilist girls get the greatest satisfaction in the process of spending money and creating a “glamorous” lifestyle.
The moral of this fable
Mercantilist girls have existed at all times . As, by the way, and mercantile guys – otherwise the term “alphonse” would not have received such a wide distribution.
It is useless to try to impose your point of view on them, lecturing about morality and spiritual values. If this position is not close to you, limit any contacts with such people.
