The goal of this article is to highlight the strategies that can be used to take advantage of a man’s money in a context where there is no marriage.
The strategy of the female predatory girlfriend is to extract as much wealth as possible from the male partner without his awareness. This tactic is particularly relevant in today’s world, where marriage rates are declining. When a predator is not married, she must devise alternative methods to access her boyfriend’s finances, rather than relying on divorce court battles.
Here are some behaviors I have observed, based on real-life examples:
Joint bank account:
The predatory girlfriend may suggest opening a joint bank account to gain access to the boyfriend’s funds. While he works, she freely spends the money. This is a common tactic, and joint bank accounts are still prevalent today.
Gifts as assets:
She may manipulate her boyfriend into buying her expensive gifts, such as cars or valuable jewelry, which she plans to sell in the event of a breakup. Emotional manipulation is often used to coerce the boyfriend into making these purchases. For example, a female student may guilt-trip her boyfriend by claiming that not having a car will ruin her life. I know of a woman who employed this tactic, demanding a more expensive car even after her boyfriend had already purchased one for her.
Involvement in business:
If the man becomes a successful entrepreneur, the predatory girlfriend may seek to benefit from his business, even if she has no relevant skills. I once encountered a case where a girlfriend convinced her partner to appoint her as a co-director of his company, despite her lack of managerial abilities.
House and vehicle ownership:
She may pressure her boyfriend to add her name to the deed of their house or the title of his vehicle, claiming that it is for her security. This ensures that she will receive a significant portion of the proceeds if the assets are sold during a breakup.
In my opinion, many men mistakenly believe they are safe from gold diggers if they choose not to marry. However, predatory women are adept at finding ways to access their partner’s finances, even without the legal protections of marriage. It is crucial for men to remain vigilant and recognize these tactics to protect themselves from financial exploitation.
