Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?
Posted: 1/25/2006 12:50:09 PM
'NO', NOT INTO PROSTITUTION THE SEX PART OR ANY INTIMACY.....

AS A LIFE TIME FRIEND?...A HYPOTHETICAL RESERVED DESCISION...POSSIBLY? UNDER DURESS?...(MY CONSCIENCE THOUGH KNOWING ME WOULDNT ALLOW IT..I LIVE BY HONESTY AND INTEGRITY)


Lateral thinking asks this question:...am i allowed to tell them i'm marrying them for their money??????...YES or NO????

The only way I could even see that being a remotely bearable situation is if he were close to dead, so I guess my answer would be, unfortunately, no.

There would have to be some sort of attraction. He'd either have to "get" me mentally, so that we could engage in good conversations, or have a winning smile, or gorgeous eyes.. but someone I can't stand to even be around with limitless money?

I'll pass!

I know for a fact that 90% of the women on here will date and marry a rich guy rather than one who isnt
and the majority( not all) who say otherwise are liars i dont care who this offends.
do you know how i know?
I used to have another profile with the exact same picture but it didnt say that i was a doctor.
it had the same words in the profile as this one regarding everything else.
i recieved maybe 1 or 2 replies
the one I am currently on now, I recieve at least a dozen replies per week.
coincidence?
ive done the same thing on 3 other sites
i made an AD without a DR profile and then one with a DR profile
the results were exactly the same as before.
so dont you women start fibbing that u wouldnt go after a guy with money, becuse you and i both know better than that.
women flock to successful men who can easily support them
its the nature of the beast
its like survival of the fittest
the men are like dogs and the women are like ****es in a dog pack
the toughest dogs get the **** of thier choice
well money makes us TOP DOG
maybe women will not admit it even to themselves but its true
if u take 2 guys who look almost the same, with the same personality,
one is a well off lawyer /DR/businessman, and the works at mcdonalds
who is going to most likely get a gorgeous woman?

why do u think us go to school and try to make money as best we can?
its not for us, its so thats the only way we can get a gorgeous woman
im not even talking about gold diggers im talking about most women in general
i tried to do it one way and women have proved me otherwise time and time again

guys, if u want the gorgeous women, become a DR buy a nice home and a car then goto a bar and tell women you are a dr, even if u didnt look that good, 955 of the women will talk to you becuase no matter what u look like u are alot better than the loser rif raff with dead end jobs who come in there hitting on women
u could have a pizza face and it wouldnt matter
you could be obese, it wouldnt matter
ok maybe not obese
but if you at least have a tolerable personality and dont look like the elephant man, you will go on dates plenty
2 of my friends who are also Drs and they are not very good looking and women flock to them as soon as they say they are a Dr
i bet if they worked at a newspaper stand very few gorgeous women would have anything to do with them
how do u think donald trump got marla maples? its winning personality?LOL
im sorry if this offends you but you all dont want to admit it but unfortunatly its an unfair world
alot of the not so well off men are in denial and women who answered this are either in denial or they are lying

one last thing
the women who would disagree with what i just say
im not saying this applies to all women, but most of them:

if you wouldnt go after a rich guy , it would be becuase you are either not attractive enough or THINK you are not attractive enough to compete with all the gorgeous women that that well off man could get and wouldnt bother wasting time because youknow that the guys eye will wander and he will cheat on you with a betterlooking women

do you ever see hockey or baseball stars wives or girlfreinds?
they are just all totally gorgeous
like supermodels
go do a google search for jose cansecos ex wife
she posed nude after they broke up
she is a 10 ,shes so good looking she could be a suprtmodel in her sleep
is that a coincidence?
if it is thats some coincidence
how come you dont see baseball stars marrying to a unattractive,obese woman?
i bet the women and henpeckd men are going to say that im am generalizing about all this
but its a little too much of a coincidence that 99.9999% of movie stars are walking around with gorgeous women on thier shoulder
and marrying them
why did supermodel donna dixon marry dan ackroyd ?becuase A.hes funny and has a good personality ? or B.becuase hes a successful movie star and millionaire?
i bet half the guys working at wendys have great personalities but they dont get to date donna dixon

Alot of my friends are very well off...except me, been there done that. Some are shallow, even my own uncle, he became better than us, but then when he was in Sloan Kettering with cancer he cried to see his family and asked for me, I didnt go see him. Yea, I had one, she was so shallow, and she thought she was down to earth. She wouldnt date a guy who wasnt. My evil stepmother she was like that...Knew/know quite a few. Money doesnt buy love though, I wouldnt have to worry for the rest of my life, still get cards from this guys mother to date for the last five years, his attitude was too**** and I dropped him like he was hot. I want what is real and if it doesnt happen, so be it. I want whats mine, and Im working hard to get there, I want someone for the right reasons. Thats why the divorce rate is so high, and the remainder of marriages remain for reasons beyond the marriage, e.g., financial, children, etc....Cheating is a losers game, if you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen...People make choices of spouses based on all kinds of criterias e.g., status, education, convenience, financial, etc.... Woman in general do it all the time, single women with children, right away there looking for someone to help them, again wrong reasons, yea, and men too. Weddings and divorce, big business, so if your so in love, why do you need to get married right away? What does a ring and a piece of paper do? Is it actually needed to maintain that bond or does love conquer all? Okay, so much for my rant, with all that said...single is the way to go!

Good question

Depends how desperate I get. If I'm pushing 40 and still single and some rich guy wants to marry me there's a good chance I'd think about it. However, if I positively could not stand the man then there is no way I would do it, I'd end up trying to run him over with my car. The better question would be, "would I marry someone that was poor", not a lot of women would voluntarily head into that unless feelings were involved.

Lol. You have an excellent point and I agree with you. I wouldn't marry a deadbeat because I have no wish to be poor. I was raised middle class and I am used to it. I've also educated myself and although I am not a doctor I look a helluva alot better to men because I am intelligent and have an education. I was raised to work for what I want and I intend to be successfull, most men would rather date a successfull woman than someone who makes minimum wage. Besides, if you want to have kids you need a partner that is able to afford to carry the household while you're on maternity leave.

Yes, my darling...and thank you for your last response, but I had to respond to this one. Reality is this...the average guy drools over the gals on tv, guess what, money, camera tricks the whole nine, makes them look good. Have you ever seen oprah winfrey fresh out of a shower, or in the morning, honestly, she looks good on magazine covers, but she is not (in the real) a very good looking woman, along with the rest. There just people, people no different than anyone else, with just a more resources to enhance themselves on a physical level. Yes, money does give woman the option to change there looks, dramatically. My friend, 25yoa, getting chemical peels, fake boobs, guess what, I wouldnt do it, and I can if I want, no way...Look at the cancer statistics, chemicals that burn a layer of skin off your face, no thank you! Looking good is work and money, bottom line. And as for your other line, Ill answer on a personal level, I attract many guys from all walks of life, I am confident, I grew up shopping on fifth avenue, now, well, its irrevelant. Point being, yes, those guys will attract many women, but, the attraction is the money and not for them and who they are inside. Those guys usually have the nice wife at home and the girlfriend on the side, they have never found whats real, and as tough as they think they might be, they actually fear intimacy. How many relationships do you know where always one of them is in control, either the guy/gal. What happened to walking side by side? Now, control not meaning submission, submission is awesome, but that is a choice. Control is lack of confidence. So in essence, what does any of the aforementioned relationships really have? Forget out money, its common across the board...For instance, just look at all these profiles, all these people seeking the perfect fit and guess what, has anyone come to realize if they met this ideal mate how boring it would be! Differences are needed and should be respected, oh, the sequacity of mankind. Ooops, another rant ;)

Please. Marriage is (suppose) to be forever (despite the %). If you think the almighty $ will satisfy ALL your urges you're simply ill. The end is tragic. The only variable is where the tragady (sp) lies. You, him, the children, or ALL......

Hell NO!!

I have a job. I can buy what I need. I can get what I want. To wake up to everyday for the rest of your life in a marriage thinking the other person is would be a waste of a life.

It's thousands of times worse than inviting a coworker you hate to a superbowl party with your friends. Well maybe I should up this to a million...really.

Nope. Just money alone won't cut it.

The man would have to be compatible with me, and have similar goals and interests. He also must be willing to have a relationship based on mutual respect, trust, love, and shared values.

Rich people are just people, and they have varying attitudes, interests, and values. Some I would be interested in because of the common values, interests and are good people. If the guy is a good egg, then that appeals to me.

Others I would tell them to jump in a lake (most notably right-wing conservatives who care more about tax breaks or those who have businesses but are abusive toward their employees). Someone who is a jerk regardless of their financial stature would be told to VAMOOSE!

Now a guy who enjoys the Hamptons and would enjoy being with my favorite aunt in the whole wide world that's a HUGE bonus in my eyes, regardless of the guy's money situation.
My aunt is a sweetheart and if she gives the nod in your favor, you are in like Flynn!! Yes, the Hamptons are called "tony" for a good reason, they are GGGGRRRRREEEAAAT to paraphrase Tony the Tiger!!!

me at Montauk Point and here on this computer. Bad attitude, meanness, greed, selfishness, you will get thrown back. If you are kind, warm, honest and a good man, you are a keeper!

No. Was married to someone for many years who had the ability to make bucks.

Dated a few who had the $.

At this point, I want more than that.

Love or Money.

*I would rather live in a comfortable little abode with LOVE, than in a mansion without it.

Actually, I have been in this situation twice in my life time and when I was younger I used to tell people that I would marry someone just if they were rich, but when I actually got the opportunity, I didn't do it. One was a lot older than me, and I just kept thinking about going to church with them or some other event and being embarrassed about being with them. I finally decided that I want to be proud of whoever I am with and money just isn't enough. Tracy

No,I wouldn't.Money has no factor in me loving someone.If all they had was a box,I'd crawl right in there with them.Sorry,I believe in love unconditionally & with no boundaries.I know,call me a helpless romantic,but where there's true love...it doesn't matter who you are,where you've been,what you have,what you've done,or where your going,but rather the boundless & uncondtional love that is the ultimate purest emotion to ever feel & experience.
