“The way a man spends his money is a reflection of his sincerity and character,” said Brandon Wade, CEO and founder ofWhatsYourPrice.com. “While women don’t necessarily equate money with love, they are more financially independent than ever before, and are more drawn to men who can demonstrate their ability to provide for a partner.”
