Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?
Posted: 1/11/2006 12:53:12 PM
You do make a very valid point about money marrying money. There are a lot of women waiting around for that rich guy to find them and marry them. They dont realize that the rich guys are either already taken or are up on the game. Contrary to popular myth, most of the real wealth in the world is inherited, the best and surest way to get rich is to be born with rich parents.

In real life I would still say the same hell NO!!! Just because maybe some Woman or Men are greedy dosn't mean all of us are. Maybe some of us have experienced alot in life and know exactly what we want and don't want.. Is that so hard to believe that woman in general in real life would turn it down in a heartbeat?? Jeesh what has this world come too haha

Amazing, almost every woman is saying, NO WAY. And almost every man is saying YES WAY. Does this tell us something ? Yes, you can keep your toys, and they are devoted to you, but very jealous.

I'm saying no.. simply because I would say most women who are that rich are probably full of wrinkles and above my age range for having sex with them...

Ya know, I take offense to the comments that because we're online, we may not be "honest". I'm me, I know my mind and heart and few ever have to guess what's going on in either. I don't have an online "persona", other than I have to follow rules here that I don't really like following, but regardless of where I am, I am ME. This pic is me, the people I've met in person know this IS me, and I speak my mind openly here every bit as much as I do offline.
Money will never bring me to the point of living a fukking lie. I've lived through enough crap to know better than invite more.

(Sorry 7, for my assumption previous. Should have known you knew what you were up to.)

Nipoleon - you never said whether he was teachable. Still won't marry if I get to keep my toys when I can't play with a real live one on occasion. IS he teachable?

I didn't mean to be offesive to you. I'm glad to hear you are giving an honest respose to your true opinion. The point I was making is that, standing back from an issue, and not being involved in it, people will give different opinions than what they would if really faced with the situation. Do you understand ? We can say what someone should do who lives on the other side of town and we don't even know. When faced with a situation ourselves personally, our opinion can be totaly different. This sort of thing can easly be seen in all sorts of issues. For instance, How do you feel about the death penalty ? Or, how do you feel about it when your brother is accused of murder. Objectivity is easy when your not involved. I would never think of doubting the total honesty of anyone on this site.

Agreed

I will say though and I am sure other people have also though, especially those that have had to work their ass off and had nothing given to them, that their has to be some thought given to an easier way, especially when the availability is there and offered to you.

which is better working 60 hours a week for the rest of your life, not enjoying all that is available to the masses and being to tired to do so anyway, or possibly making a few compromises and living comfortably. Or how about this do we want to get screwed at work everyday until we almost possibly die, or would we possibly be willing to "settle" if we met someone who was willing and able to fulfill all of our needs and beyond, if we were actually compatible, maybe something less than love.

I know there is something to love about that.

I have a unique point of view on this because I AM seeing someone who has lots of money.

Quite honestly, the money indimidates me and makes me quite uncomfortable.
I wish I could wave a magic wand and put us on a level playing field.

If this moves to another level, I don't want to live on someone else's dime...and I would feel like my income was holding him back as far as lifestyle was concerned.

I pay my own way. Period.
I don't want to support or BE supported by a man.

I'll never marry again, so the question is kinda moot from that angle...but I'd never BE with anyone in a relationship just because they were rich.

Ofcouse I'm playing a little bit. But I think this is a valid question which everyone should think about. How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to get something you think you want?Don't we see people doing that every day ? How much do we sacrifice of our time and labor to aquire simple material goods and trinkets which wear out and never really make us happy. Would you make a big sacrifice of yourself for a big reward ?

So this is the real question? How far is one willing to go to get what one really wants? Does one really know until one is actually placed in a situation where that something could be an actuality if they gave up something, did something to attain it? You never know what you will really, truly do in a situation until you are actually in the situation. And that, my Dear Man, is the truth.

But to marry some creep simply because he is rich? Again, OH, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

personally, being with someone who has alot of money should only be an issue if they, themselves is making it known that is way visable by how he acts, or waves it around, or always makes it seem like you don't have to lift a finger they have it covered....women still wanna do their part...so if the guy has alot of money then he should find a way to not make it in the fore front of the relationship and it can work just fine

I had my chance and couldn't do it. I can make my own living. If you marry for money, you will earn every penny of it.

I know a few famous people. Donald Trumps wifes. Get real, if he didn't have money & power they wouldn't look twice at him. You would think with all that money, he could do something with it.
I love Hugh Hefner, just having to share someone with the others. Most wealthy guys know alot of people.
