Hmmm. Tell 'em you know this sweet older gal in Florida.

I would take many so called factual statements on these threads with a grain of salt. Just like politicians, many posters fabricate statements to enhance their argument and to promote themselves.

kelly,

You should perhaps get out of your small town and come to the big city. fact is stranger than fiction and you will learn that. Just because you are not exposed to certain situations or people does not mean things are fabricated. lots of things that happen in my area make me shake my head and wonder,

Yes, the race car driver does exist and it is strange. He probably has deeper siisues going on than I can ever imagine as he likes attractive fit ladies in their 50' and 60's. Must have a mother cpmplex. But then again, there are tons of girls in the world with father and grandfather complexes too.

I guess you are one of those people who would not believe the most important man in the U.S. "President Clinton" at that time was having an affair with a marginally attractive overweight intern because to you that would be fabricated! he can have the most beautiful women around why did he choose her?. Again, fact is stranger than fiction. You really should open your mind up more to realities of this world instead of what you know.

Of course older men like young women and she was attractive (not beautiful) so nothing unusual there. And maybe the statement is true; I don't know, and without facts, I have no way of knowing. However, I do know people fabricate stories so I am rightfully skeptical when I hear a story that does not fall within my experiences. For example when I read statements by marginally attractive women claiming to have had many offers by rich men, and I and other very good looking girls I know have have none, I'm not saying they are lying, but I don't believe them. Nor do I believe all the statements that, "I won't marry for money" when I see gals fall all over themselves for young pre-med students.

Oh my god

OHhhhhhh I can't speak for others.


My answer is no I wouldn't marry a guy that is rich class, middle class, poor class.

I will not meet all men and will no meet all men.

I would maybe live with a guy, after soo long of getting know him.

Living with a guy..... mmmmmm,,,,, well if all goes great,,,, then it wouldn't be me proposed to him. It would be him, thats his job......not mine...... okay i may be a little modern and a bit old fashion..... but still working on it, in new generation. because I do have 2 children..... when they grow up, then what I too doo....... eeeekkkkkk. pull my hair out.
noooooo...... I have too except them and repect their wishes......and support their descions.

sooo. no i won't marry a guy that is rich. middle and poor.

it have too be a connection etc. for me too live with a guy.
marriage. its only a piece of paper..... but if the guy really loves . then i might say yes

for me my door is open for only one man.
and I will not date and meet.
Will only be one.

and thats the one for a life long relationship,

No, I wouldn't marry only for money. Though, I wouldn't have anything against falling in love with someone that already has some, and at a younger age I might have.

These questions come to mind:
1. Would you marry someone significantly richer or poorer than you?
2. Would younger people be more likely to marry only for money?
3. Would poorer people be more likely to marry only for money?

I'd also like to relay this related story:

An old friend, who had already gained some wealth of her own, was about to remarry. Her fiancee was the CEO of a sizable business, and his attorney had apparently recommended to him that he present her with a prenuptial agreement, and that if presented the evening before their wedding (with all the family already in town) she wouldn't be able to say no. She did, and dumped the **stard. I hope the lawyer was fired.

A cautionary tale?

I WOULD NOT MARRY SOMEONE FOR THEIR MONEY. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LFE THEN MONEY. DONT GET ME WRONG MONEY IS GREAT AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE RICH, BUT I COULD NOT BE WITH SOMEONE I DO NOT LIKE BEING AROUND.

I've never known anyone who married for money that was truly happy. In fact, I think that's one reason why there are so many divorces. Too many people, men and women, marry for convenience. It's disgusting.

Sure, there are a lot of women that will marry for money, just like there are a lot of men that will marry for a steady lay. The world is full of hookers and johns. What does one expect from a culture that is saturated in materialism and sex? If you aren't sexually desireable or have a lot of money, you're made out to be nothing. That's one of the problems with the US and why so many people hate us and our culture.

Not all people are like that though fortunately. I've said this before, anyone who wants to marry for money is setting themself for a big fall. If you want to be under someone else's thumb, be prepared to be squashed. If you want to be someone's property, be prepared to be traded in or sold when you are no longer useful.

Man, some of the stuff I read on PoF would make Susan B. Anthony spin in her grave.


but my only question is to those women who say they would prefer a man who is financially secure is that why aren't you girls AIM to be financially secure YOURSELVES?


I think the answer is pretty obvious. Unfortunately, not all women, even younger educated ones, are feminists and believe in equality.

It have too come from the deep in side and heart soul. to even think of marriage
but really love each other if it ends up in marriage

but for me i don't really care about a guys finiacial secure with
or not I would find it useless to my life. it wouldn't mean a thing at all
and my answer is noooooooo I wouldn't and it not worth it.
money iss a piece of paper that all it is too help pay bill and put foood on table


I do that anyways pay my own bill. and food on table
soo don't need it


what i do care is how he feels about me. and how i feel about him. and where it will go from here.
and only take it one step at a time and time will only tell

can't speak for others i don't know them

but i think they will feel the same noooooooooo
a women can do same pay bill food and be finiacial secure

and don't need all the money to be secure.

a women can do same thing

but saying goes

a women can live with out a man , but a man can not live with out a women
but that swings both ways

what real case is is do you love that person alot and does that person love you alot
then you will know if that person is for you or not

I would marry the "Person" - rich or not.
I mean, to marry just for their money is worse than marrying just for love...

Deciding to marry someone is a huge undertaking and involves soooo many factors.

Maybe I live in a fairy tale...who knows. I would never marry just for money. Having money really doesn't matter. If you have great love, you are the richest people in the world. I'm going to die poor....lol

take it easy on kelly she 19yrs old

so she just started being a younge adult, that still learning lot about people and todays generation. and soon future. if she can think that far. so even though she haven't gone threw as much as anyone else have gone threw. she just not there yet, not even deal with such bad situation not just yet. she still in school taking coarses and learning, for her in this forum not gone threw yet of anything, but maybe breaking up with boyfriends, that all she can deal with. thank god thats all she's dealing with .
In long run kelly you find what life is really all about. and will continue too learn for the rest of your life. and that not just an easy life on a small town. but also goes both ways hard life and easy life. threw good and bads when it is your time you sure will know it
then you can look what all you said in forum and say oh my god did I really say that
think a bit...

you should thank yourself not married and not pregnant etc. you probably wouldn't able too handle it at all and in most cases noo you wouldn't
try a big city too live in. maybe you can learn alot faster then at a slow space your in now

not easy
and yes plentyofcash I agree with you 100% there is a big difference . and so true too.

All of the woman I know are poorer then me. Rich as Cresus or poor as Job, it make no difference for me as money comes, money goes...and it is such a materialistic thing.

I do not care about her possesion..only if her hearth and mind is "rich".

Of course, for enough money. We all would. Every women on this thread stating otherwise is either lying or she's insane. There is no other choice.

Most women on this thread already sell themselves for less than $50 and hour; otherwise, for what they get paid. So of course they would sell themselves for $1,000 dollars an hour or else they are insane.

Of course not. I would and always have been able to pay my own way through life and under no circumstances would I be with someone because he had money. I would rather date/marry a guy that worked at McDonalds and treated me like an equal and that was an honest upstanding man that someone that had lots of money that I didn't have any love for. Why reduce yourself to that ... why live your life miserable ... doesn't anyone want to just be with someone they can look at and know what they are thinking, be able to call that special person through the good or bad and know they are not going to bail, or someone that is a real man/women and not feed you a bunch of BS. Does anyone feel the same way??
