Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?

The lines can get fuzzy, it's easy to get mixed up, especially if you are good friends. Traveling, nice dinners, beautiful homes, entertaining and friendship can make it easy to take the next step, only to become two good people who don't want to hurt each other when the money doesn't matter anymore. I'll never get married again, because I'll never know for sure.

and once again if you noticed all the women who denied what i said in my last post, doesnt look good enough to get a rich guy not a single one of you is good enough for a donald trump or any other multi millionaire and if u are you are lying. becuase you maybe want to put an impression that u arent in it for the money so perhaps someone with money who will read your prost will ask u out

a freind of mine is a bank president in california making about a couple mil a year, and his wife is gorgeous. i rest my case

watch this guys, some beautiful woman will reply and say she doesnt want a rich guy now
just to try and prove me wrong lol


Motodude66, You are telling it like it is. Taking into account looks, class, intelligence, and education, without a doubt, I'm the best looking gal on this thread and even I am not good enough looking for a rich guy. Yes, I can easily get some thirty year old with a $1 million dollars earning a little over $100, 000 a year, but that's only middle class. I have turned several of them down, but I haven't been asked by a rich guy nor has any other gal on this thread. I would love it if an actual rich guy earning $10 million a year would ask me. Unless he was hidious looking, I'd find a way to love him 15 minutes a day.

Let me just start this by sayin i was too lazy to log steven out so this post is not him speakin' its moi.Twisted40. anyways i would never marry someone for their moola, no matter what. if i dont have very strong feelings for the man im with, then its very obvious that i cant fake how i feel about someone. i cant pretend to love someone either i do or i dont.simple as that.

that's why you never let someone (women, coming from a man's point of view), know how much you're worth until they prove they are loyal to you, money, or no. i mean, i'm not saying come across as 'cheap', but i don't put all of my cards out on the table until AFTER i figure out what a potential mate really values in me.

like i've said in another post, elsewhere, i couldn't see having to depend on ANYONE financially. my mate, the government, nadda! anything's possible, i never say never, but i tell you what, i do what i have to to avoid potentially ending up in that kind of situation.

and for all the men out there who chase women for sex, if i were you, i'd chase $$$. women naturally follow $$$. not saying all women are gold-diggers, but, having money DOES get you noticed. that's a fact.

men, remember, chase $$$. don't be 65+ yrs., broke, and financially dependent on anyone, including your woman. social security, in my world, doesn't even exist, because it WON'T exist when i reach retirement age.

take a moment to think about that.

I dated a ny yankees boy a few months ago, very nice looking, very well off, however his ego was bigger than my needs and want's..said goodbye to him and still feel decent that I did that, every time we were out it was alway's the guy's around him wanting to know sports stuff,,after awhile I realized I was not there for all the right reasons, stood back, took a hard look and walked, never looked back. So, rich, and great looks is not alway's enough..a good man with a good heart is much more desirable to me..lesson I've learned anyway's...

I've had rich. We were engaged, the wedding planned, right down to the flowers already paid for. He bought me a car for our engagement, gave me a hefty allowance to play with downtown and he had just put down the down payment on our house.

Did I mention he was a controlling, manipulative jerk?

I ran. Fast and far. Rather be dirt poor than be with someone I don't love, let alone respect.

u may be the exception that proves the rule
you think just becuase a guy is rich that means all of them are controlling manipulative jerks?
thats not true at all
there are plenty of WOMEN who get with the rich men and the women turn out to be the manipulative ones
they manipulate the guys , emotionally shape them like play-dough using guilt, etc so they can get thier hooks into them so they can marry them and stay with them , mainly becuase of the money factor . becuase the women want to have a lifestyle better than the one they have now

Sorry to say you are wrong about men with money always marrying women with looks. I live in BeverlyHills and I can tell you there are some broken down "average" women here with rich husbands. simply look at Hollyweird and you will see.

Michael Landon married . Wife make-up artist Cindy something or other, girl next door. Plain bordering on ugly.

Noah wyle ER, married his make-up artist....UGLY

Brandon Frasier's wife................................UGLY

Anthony Edwards'w wife..............................UGLY

Chris Rock's wife ........................................UGLY

Robin Williams wife his ex nanny .............BUTT UGLY

Matt Damon married Brazilain girl who is at best a 7 or 8 in looks.

Bill Masey ... Felicity Huffman and that was before she actually had a known job.

Bill Maher dates women that look like transexual hookers.

David Letterman's baby's momma is so ugly I hope the kid got HIS looks.

Brad Pitt..... Jennifer Ani
son!! What the hell was he thinking!!!!!!!!


The list goes on and on. In fact if you see 80% of these playboy models married to rich dudes you would not recognize them without their make-up. The ladies are soooo average in real life!

When you look at some of the award shows you see the old bats lots of these rich guys are married to.

I even know a very good looking race car driver worth MILLIONS who is in his late 30's and only wants to date good looking women in their 50's and 60's!!!!

Girl simply has to look real good(take care of hair,nails, be fit,tan), give him great sex,pump up his ego and there will be lots of rich guys with low self esteem to target. Lots of rich guys are rules by their egos.

There is one thing for sure. The one thing money won't buy is GOOD TASTE.
You bring up an important point which I have noticed for several years though.
Physical beauty is probably the most OVERATED aspect for a succesful relationship.
There are lots of less than beautiful people out there who are never alone, because they have learned how to relate to others on a real human level.
Personaly, the most attractive feature any woman can have is enthusiasm for being with me.

Motto,

I forgot to add that before Donald Trump had Melenia he had Marla. A very average looking girl who did the most of her looks, probably gave him great sex and boosted his ego. Unfortunately, she cheated on him.

But most rich guys can expect that. You see his money makes him a very big target for shallow women.. His shalowness and his need for arm candy makes him a very sad person who usually values the wrong things.
.
The joke here is the money is recycled alot in this town. What happens is guy marries a woman who loves him. Guy gets rich and looks at her and thinks he can do better because now all the babes are chasing him. Guy leaves her for a young woman who loves him(for being a GOOD provider) but is really not appreciative of his "physical features" or his sometimes boring or overpowering personaily. . Girl cheats with young guys till she gets caught. They get a divorce and now she has some of her own. Now there are tons of good -looking male goldiggers in this town too. So the woman now goes through her little rebellion stage with her buddies" A la Nicole Simpson" and starts dating and "buying these young boys. The ex husband is just as shallow and dates even younger girls.
Unfortunately, these people are all in denial because they all soon forget how attractive and luring the money was once to them and do see the obvious. Most likely the new person they have chosen to be in their life is more interested in the money than them. Thus goes the vicious cycle of users and greed.

what I have noticed though is there are many young actors in Hollywood who by-pass the "playboy" model for average girls. Probably because they know what these girls are about and they want a real relationship.

the Tom Cruises with the cute Katie Holmes, Heath Ledger with cute Michelle Williams. Chris O'Donnel and his cute teacher wife, or Adam Sandler and his cute wife is much more common than seeing a Hollywood A-lister with a woman that looks like the "playboy pet of the Year" I wonder why? I guess these guys are more into what makes them feel good rather than what nakes them look good.

NO I would not marry any man for his money if I wasn't in love with him! I have had two proposals from very wealthy men in the last couple of years. They were both appalled! One of them actually said to me... I can't believe where you live and you would turn down living with me!
He was referring to the fact that I lived, at that time in a $80,000.00 home, while he lived in a $300,000.00 mansion! Combined with the fact that as I got to know him, I realized he was a total control freak!
But oh yeah there are plenty of women out there, given the opportunity, who would marry a guy for his money in a heartbeat!
To be fair, I know it goes both ways! There are a lot of men out there as well, who can spot a women who comes from money!
Older lonely women can be very vunerable!

you are wrong.i didnt say all rich men end up with beautiful women
just becuase those guys are stupid that doesnt mean the rest of the rich guys out there are dumb enough to get with ugly women
and most cases that the stars are with ugly women are becuase they have bad taste to begin with!
or knew them BEFORE they were stars.
Anthony Edwards and chris rock arent that nice looking anyway
neither is bill maher or david letterman
lets see now since u want examples
how bout:
99.999% of all stars of every major sports have gorgeous wives or girlfriends
check out jose cansecos ex wife!

90% of male celebrities, producers date, or marry gorgeous women, soemtimes half thier age
cary grant
tony randall

check out michael douglas
charlie sheen
im not saying all rich guys get with a gorgeous woman
but rich guys CAN get with hot women and usually do.
robert deniro married and dated 2 really ugly black women
hes a moron
thats his fault
but if he wanted to he could get a gorgeous woman. even at his age
he was dating a beautiful black anchorwoman in NY a couple years ago it was in the papers

lets see the other side of the coin here

but how often do poor guys get gorgeous women? .001%? if that?
and if a rich guy hit ont hem they would seriously consider breaking up with the guy and go with the rich guy.
its true, you just refuse to believe it becuase im making most women sound bad and you are all taking offense to that

you think paris hilton would date a waiter at a restaurant?
how bout demi moore?
charlize theron?
u think they are going to end up with some janitor?

Dude,

I know many hot girls that are dating guys with little money. And before Demi was rich she dated poor guys. case in point: Her ex husband who she took her last name from was not only poor, but homely as hell. Meanwhile Demi in her youth 18-22 was much hotter than she is now. The fact these women will not date poor guys now is becaudse most women are smarter than men and will not date down when it comes to economics. But simply walk around in life and you will see beautiful woman married to guys who have little money. The most beautiful girl I ever saw was half Malaysian half latin and her husband is an x-ray tech. Do you think she was'nt hit on all the time by rich guys? Sometimes I get shallow too and think something must seriously be off with these girl mentally for not aiming higher. But then again I think maybe she is a good person and is not shallow which I should applaud.

As for rich guys getting the girls, these girls would not date 90% if they had average jobs even paying $100,000 a year. I have been privy to a few situations where I hear what these young girls really think of some of the rich guys they date or marry and I can tell you it ain't pretty. I have heard girls literally talk about how they get turned off when he takes his clothes off,meanwhile they should get an academy award when they are with him and act like he is " all of that". I feel embarassed for the guys sometimes because they have no clue it is not them but their momney that turns women on.

If I had a ton of money I honestly would downplay it so I can get a genuine woman. I knew this guy awhile back who had a ton of money, yet drove a hybred car and never flaunted it his wealth. He said he used to but it attracted all of the WRONG element. Gotta respect the guy because he understood "man makes the money,money never makes the man" and put himself out there not flaunting what he had which would have been easy. It's too easy to find someone to get on the gravy train with you. In school there were always kids with money who attracted "fair weather friends" but those relationships were shallow too. If you have to flaunt what you have to attract a partner male or female what does that really mean? Nothing!!

Roseanne Barr can do that, even some old actress in a wheelchair managed to get herself a young husband. Money can buy anything. Buying love aint one of them.

Well all thiings being equal I'm a guy and would date the rich chick over poor:). But life has a way of not making things equal and most times the rich man is lacking in looks, not interesting or fun,too busy with work. some women would preffer a guy who is not so rich but has other attributes. to marry a man simply because of money never leads to anything good. I believe most good women would rather marry a man they are attracted to who makes 60-100 thousnad a year. rather than a man they are not attracted to making millions. Having to have sex with a man you do not enjoy and living day to day with that can be hell in the long run.

Let me tell you a story of something going on in my family right now. My sister who is extremely money hungry married a rich man the first time. Left him for her karate instructer after 2 years calling 1st husband boring(he was older) she left the marriage with tons of cash. Ended up breaking up with the karate instrutor and met a loser 4 years younger who thought he was "all that" kept bragging about how irrisistable he is to women ect. My sister blew all of her money in 3 years for this guy cause he had "expensive taste". He also had other women on the side. He treated her like crap, but she was addicted to the sex and his supposedly great looks. He finally DUMPED her .

Well after trying to get him back she meets rich guy #2. Ortho surgeon who owns his own MRI and a hotel in the Caribbean. After 2 ( 2 year itch??? years she calls the family and says she wants a divorce. why? Well she starts saying he is bad in bed and has let himself go by gaining 15lbs. Big whopee! Meanwhile her new husband gives her anything she wants. We find out she has been talking to her loser ex boyfriend and seeing him again. This time if she divorces she leaves ith bigger stakes. Almost like the movie Casino where Sharon Stone plays the woman who marries a rich man but loves the loser. You can't buy love.

So now my sister wants her loser ex back cause she remembers the great sex and the fit body and noone in the family is talking to her cause we think she is a nutcase,but many women are like her. Trade off their sexual chemistry for money. Are repulsed by their rich husbands and fool around. Again, why would any man want shallowness such as that.

By the way, my sister aint all that great looking. she just becomes whatever the man she is with wants. Great Chameleon. But she always has guys chasing her cause she has big"real" breast and a nice body.

you think just becuase a guy is rich that means all of them are controlling manipulative jerks?


I didn't say, or even imply, anything of the kind. All I said was that HE, the guy "I" was with was a controlling, manipulative jerk. It had nothing whatsoever to do with his money, it was just him. My only point was that I DID have someone with money, and that was nowhere near important to me.
