Why is it wrong to be a gold-digger?

Asked by shilolo (18075points) June 8th, 2010

Being a gold-digger (chasing a mate because of their money) is generally viewed as bad. Why? To me, it seems to make a lot of sense, evolutionarily, for someone to seek a mate who can provide adequate resources for (future) children. Where, when and how did this negativity arise? Is it analogous to the cultural pressure(s) favoring monogamy?
