Signs That You Are Dating a Materialistic Woman
The term materialistic refers to someone who is primarily concerned with material possessions. That person could be money-oriented or have a high standard for what he or she wears, lives, or hangs out with. If the woman you are dating portrays any of these characteristics, then you could be dating a materialistic woman.
Some research shows that materialism is natural to human beings. People who develop materialistic characteristics tend to come from a place of insecurity and have trouble building interpersonal relationships, causing them to focus on material things.
Keep in mind that being materialistic does not directly mean being selfish or self-centered. Materialistic people just enjoy the finer things in life, that of the rich and glamorous, more than other people do.
If you want to make sure that your woman leans toward the materialistic side, here are ways you can tell:
Appearance is Everything
The most obvious sign of a materialistic woman is a deep attraction to her physical appearance. She is also very picky about which brands she buys and which trends to follow.
A materialistic woman doesn’t just need to look stunning and beautiful. She needs to look good in everything she does, even in the most mundane of tasks like grocery shopping or going to the bank.
Shopping is her Favorite Hobby
A lot of people shop to buy what they need. But for a materialistic woman shopping is a pastime and more. The happiness she gets from checking out the newest clothes and accessories is the same guys get from going to a sporting event or shopping for the newest technology.
She almost always must come with a chaperone whenever she goes shopping. In your case, that’s you. Because she wants to look good, she’ll make sure you’re dressed to the nines, and in matching colors as well.
And don’t think she’ll be shopping just for herself. You’ll be trying out stuff as well. Accompanying her might be a chore for you but it’s more of an adventure for her.
She’s Always Up to Date
She is always updated with the newest and most talked-about trends, topics, and social events. She uses this knowledge so that she can jive with her equally materialistic clique or group of friends.
For her, knowing the latest gossip or trend is a mark of affluence and high social standing. She will never want to look simple or low-key to other people.
Because materialistic women tend to be socially active, they will want to be seen in important events and places, with important people as well. If she’s at a party or event of note, you’ll know about it. She’ll have posted tons of selfies on her social media.
Elegant Lifestyle
While not all materialistic women are like this, her lifestyle may constitute having a certain appeal to classy and high end living. Not to say that she won’t like it if you bring her somewhere unfamiliar, but she does expect you to put an effort on date nights or anniversaries since those are her chances to show off.
But dating someone who is materialistic isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Nor does it mean your relationship is unsustainable.
A materialistic girlfriend might seem like a hassle to be around, and perhaps even to herself. But she takes pride in elevating herself and looking good to the people around her.
She might be a proud, and even vain woman. But she knows what she wants and has the nerve to fight for it. And think about it this way, she has you. She’s with you because you are the person she wants to be with.
