Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?

lol...I was trying to be a little merciful on that one :) she is beastly looking, but in comparison to what she looks normally, as opposed to magazines/tv, you must agree, money/time does alot for her looks ;)

I think I'm about $ 100,000 a year short of being damn good looking ! I want honesty .

I thought you meant a rich guy, if he's just middle class, I'd pass. A rich guy with a 100 million, I could find a way to love him. All women would. It might help if he was 70.

I wouldn't marry a man because he was rich. Yes it was be nice but mutual love, like
and enjoyable sex would be a must overall to marry. I wouldn't want someone who pretended
to love me just because I have money. That is very shallow.

I don't wish to be rude, but I know better. It is easy for you to say because you have no chance to marry a rich man. Everyone claims they don't want what they can't have.

However, I'm much younger so it is possible, even if remote, that I might marry an extremely rich man. Therefore, I admit it and you don't.

No, I wouldn't. Having money is good and having an abundance is great but without things like love, respect, caring, passion and such, a relationship won't work and isn't worth it in my book. I'd rather marry someone who is dirt poor (and have) as long as our relationship was good to great than to marry someone who's rich if our relationship had a lot left to be desired.

No, I wouldn't.

Isn't there anyone on this this site that will admit the truth besides Adriana1986 and me. If you had the chance you would all marry someone that is very rich, perhaps not someone with just a few million, but if it was someone with real wealth you would. You would do it 11 times out of 10.

If you thought you had to have love, you would rationalize and tell yourself that you are in love.

I couldn't marry someone just because they were rich. How could you live with the depression and guilt of knowing that you are waking up beside some man everyday that you have no feelings for?

This question is worthy of some logic: If I was young and beautiful but no brilliant light, in other words, my chances of ever earning $100 million in my lifetime were close to nil, I would certainly consider it if the following conditions could be met: *The offer was made with no prenupt and the person had no children. * I found the person to be sexual and loveable in character. I suppose you could argue that this last condition does not constitute marrying merely for money.

people do it all the time
the money comforts them quite well
if it gets too much for them they simply divorce the man and take half of what he has
so they are back to the way they were before( single) but a lot richer then when they starter
adriana and kelly are correct
if just about every single one on of the women out there were gorgeous enough to have the chance, and combine that with wanted an accustomed lifestyle, they will go after a rich guy every time
of course they would want to find one they can tolerate but still
rich guys dont have any trouble finding women
why is that?
if every woman was good looking enough to be able to compete with the other beautiful woman for a rich guys eye, and if they knew it,almost all would pursue a rich guy over a not rich guy anyday
cuz to women- guys are guys. it doesnt matter, so why not find a rich one rather than a poor one if they can.
thats how it works
it may sound cold, and unfair but its true
if u take alot of unattractive women and u ask them that question they will say they dont care for a rich guy
but thats only cuz the chances of them getting one and especially keeping one are so remote its not worth even trying
but if u give every single one of them a plastic surgery that turns them into supermodels,
do they think they are going to waste that new found beauty on the local janitor?
or a lawyer
ive seen it time and time again
the women who disagree are in denial or lying
and the men are henpecked and dont want to upset thier woman,or they want to impress other women by showing them they are not after money
but its true

my profile that sayd im a DR in it - more than dozen replies a week
my older profile that didnt say im a DR - one reply a week( if that
as you see,. you women reply to me more for a reason

and the ones who do are all good looking ( they think they can compete for me with other women)
and the ones who are not good looking en ough woundnt even try
and its not that they arent interested
becuase i contacted plennt of ugly women to test my theory and almost every single one of them reply back immediatly sounding interested( and surprised)

the other profile only a few of them were interested
see??
admit it

From adriana

adriana, I'm amazed at how unbelievably rude you were to Chantaz. The woman made a statement about her position on the subject and you have the audacity to tell her she would have no chance???? Oh yeah, you also said "I don't wish to be rude" Yes you did. That was your whole intention.

Chantaz, I hope you didn't listen or take to heart a damn word this little girl said.

OK Adriana:

I appreciate your input and your outspokeness.
But since I can't e-mail you because of I don't meet your restrictions against smoking, I have to ask you this question here.

This is a little off the topic, but, would it matter to you if your BILLIONARE, wasn't a virgin ?

Moto you seem to have too much time on your hands. I am not doubting for a minute that there are millions of shallow people living amongst us but i hate to be categorized as one of them.
I am not "Lying" or in "denial" as you put it. I also do not need millions to make me happy either.
There are some decent people in this world.
I have had my fair share of rich men trying to date me but i look for a hell of alot more in which most of these "rich" men seem to be lacking.
Some women aren't picky in that sense...I want something alot more full filling than that.

Don't worry Adriana, I'm not picking on you.
Your right, $100,000 is only middle class in todays world.
I guess I'm about $1,000,000.00 per yr. away from being pretty good look'n.

**** no i wouldn't marry soeone just because they are rich. Money isn't anything. Even if my man was a bum but yet made for me, i wouldn't care. Because money can't bring happiness. Money isn't worth anything when ur in a relationship. Except when u wanna go out... but who cares if u go eat at McDonads its food lol and it's a date.. lol money isn't worth anything for me..

bambiwoods,i dont even think you look like your pic . u only have one and ive seen plenty of fake ones out there
how come all the rich businessmen/celebrities almost always have gorgeous women and middle class and poor guys dont have it anywhere near as much?
explain that
if everything u said it true bambi then you are the exception that proves the rule
but if u met 2 guys with almost identical personalities and looks but 1 was a millionaire and the other was not i am positive u would get with the millionaire.
well women sometimes ignore finding the perfect soulmate if it meant to find a decent guy with money who they could tolerate
because they know, if they wanted to, they wont have to work a day in thier life or struggle
thats not being picky its just practicality for beautiful women
check out jose canseco? why is his ex wife gorgeous? how come every rich guy marries or dates women who can be classified as 9s or 10s?coincidence?

its not shallow
its just making thier life easier
and it happened all the time every day

just becuase you have a lot of rich guys who were after one thing and wouldnt say no that doesnt mean u are going to tell me that if u found a guy who had money and he looks the same and had a good personality , that u wouldnt take him over somsone with nearly same looks and personality and had a dead end job.
like i said if u do its becuase of 1 of 4 things:

1. u are a in the small minority who are beautiful and woudlnt care if u dated a bum maybe 2% of gorgeous women
2. you had your experience of rich guys and they just want u for a trophy gf or wife
3. you arent attractive enough to get a rich guy and u know it
4. your lying
5. your in denial

everyone else who looks gorgeous is going to marry a rich guy and not want for anything again,
sit out by the pool. sip ice tea, count her hubbys money, maybe take up a pottery class
, shop
get a part time job just so u dont get fat watchign jerry springer all d

welcome to the easy street

as i said
either conciously ot subconciously the guys who are in college going after a career that can make them alot of money (medicine/ business/law) arent really doing it for themselves

you think guys care if they drive a porsche??
nope
we would be happy with a volvo , honda as long as it safe,
we get a high paying career , cars clothes, money not for us its so we can get the best woman we can
we can be happy with being middle class
its all for the woman
thats all.

1. u are a in the small minority who are beautiful and woudlnt care if u dated a bum maybe 2% of gorgeous women <---yes i do care about this. I stated a fact that i do not need a rich man to make me feel complete but this doesn't imply that i would date a bum either.

2. you had your experience of rich guys and they just want u for a trophy gf or wife <---actually on the contrary i haven't. I have never dated a rich man in my life.

3. you arent attractive enough to get a rich guy and u know it<---well this would obviously be in the eyes of the beer holder ...seriously, I am not conceited but i am quite happy with the way i look thank you very much, and if all it takes is a hot looking woman to obtain the interest of a rich man, doesn't say much for him does it.

4. your lying<--i really don't need to prove myself to you or anyone else. You believe or you don't..it's not going to make me lose any sleep ...lol

5. your in denial<---i am one of the few people in this world who isn't ;)

actually i meant women are in 1 of the 5 categories .
1, not all
but i dont think thats your pic bambi
it looks a little too professional to me and u only have 1
if u could show me an average pic it would look more realistic
guys have been fooled time and time again on here
usually when they come from russia or look extremely beautiful, look out
and thank you
u proved my point u are one of the 5 categories

ps.u can tell the fake ones when the picture is too professional and the woman too beautiful
its common sense guys.
if she was that beautiful she wouldnt NEED the personals

of they are not blurry and shot with perfect lighing chances are they are fake
and if she has only 1 thats also fake too

if u could show me an average pic it would look more realistic

usually when they come from russia or look extremely beautiful, look out
and thank you
u proved my point u are one of the 5 categories<---it's okay to be cynical but don't be so quick to make assumptions based on ignorance.

ps.u can tell the fake ones when the picture is too professional and the woman too beautiful
its common sense guys.
if she was that beautiful she wouldnt NEED the personals<---i clearly state that i am here for the forum only. Perhaps i might have more pics up if i was looking for something more.

of they are not blurry and shot with perfect lighing chances are they are fake
and if she has only 1 thats also fake too<---lmao...so i take it that you must be a fake. You should really think carefully before posting comments like this in here

Thats too funny...Im just wondering if any of the gals that responded to you are on this posting board saying "no way." Your test results to your theory does reflect truth of an already know fact. A womens value was always placed on her husbands accomplishments, mothers and fathers instill this in there daughters, my mother tells me, why do you work so hard, find a nice guy to take care of you. I dont get the rational, I want to take care of myself?? You hear woman all the time, well, my husband is a doctor or whatever, and???? what does that mean, its not her, what are her accomplishments??? These guys with there pompous attitudes are truly disheartening as he becomes quite shallow with all these women that will flock to him and is very likely to pass up a great gal. And along with them are these sad girls who are just as shallow and to lazy to go out and make there own money. Reminds me of the story, "the little red hen," cant really blame those guys! Dont judge a book by its cover people, Ive seen a few go down, and have seen quite a few (5) rags to riches stories, people whom I was close with. But you know, this theory is applicable in all areas, again, people choose partners based on social status, religious beliefs, family, education, etc, etc..again, bad decision making, with a divorce rate to prove it!!! Of course attraction/chemistry is first and foremost, well, atleast it should be! What makes a person is not the car they drive, its integrity, morals, character, motivation, its who they are! Unfortunately, the majority of people are average minded and thats the thinking! Find someone for the right reasons and if you prefer a better quality of life, then work together and make it happen. Alright enough of these posts!!!

I think you are touching on a very good point.
The comments about Oprah, are very revealing. It's amazing that no matter how successful she is, people still seem to focus on how she LOOKS, how heavy she is, wheather or not she's pretty enough to get a man.
The same with Donald Trump. It's kind of a running joke that no matter how goofy he looks, or a jerk he may be. He still gets the babes because he's rich.
There are lots of perfectly successful and accomplished women in this world, yet there is a perception that no man would want them if they weren't good looking enough. And frankly a lot of men would still turn their nose up at a less than beautiful woman, no matter if she were as rich as the queen. And a lot of women would turn their noses' up at a perfectly charming, and hansom man, if he were dirt poor.

If I was wealthy, I'd keep it a secret from women. That way I'd know if they really liked me for me.

I mean, why would anyone want someone who wanted them only for their money? You're just setting yourself up to get swindled.

Yeah, these rich celebs get the hot women. A lot of them also get divorced and lose their shirts in the process. Why do you think a lot of these over-the-hill rockers keep on going? Because they get taken to the cleaners by their trophy wives so bad they can't afford to retire.

I've said it before in another thread, the golddiggers and sugar daddies/mamas deserve each other. Let them leech off of one another so that true romantics can inherit the world.
