Women On Reddit Talk About The Times They Were Called A ‘Gold-Digger’ By Others

A ‘gold-digger’ is any person who gets into relationships with the sole intention of extracting money and expensive gifts from their partners. Mostly, this term is used for women, who seek well-settled and rich men to marry. However, nowadays, this term is used rather loosely.

Women who decide to become stay at home moms, walk out of a relationship, or receive expensive gifts from their husbands or boyfriends are often tagged as a gold-digger by surrounding people. For example, actor Mandana Karimi was called a gold-digger by Ali Merchant. But not just women, even men who have more successful female partners are called gold-diggers. Like how Divyanka Tripathi’s husband Vivek Dahiya is often called a gold-digger.
