| Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?
Posted: 3/22/2006 8:10:15 PM | Now I wonder what kind of responses the original poster really thought they were going to get on here anyway??
Of course everyone is going to say NO.
No one would admit their shallowness by saying yes now, would they. | |

Posted: 3/22/2006 8:50:27 PM | To be honest!
Situation:
Your a women and devorced and have kids. Your trying to make a living! What is the last thing on your mind?
Men!
So, here you are...a poor man!
Of all the things I have noticed in life there is one thing that is congruent with women!
Security...usually money!
If your're not, call me...I'm tired of just commenting and not saying hello.
Even if your're poor...and keep life insurance car, renters...pay your bills on time and scratchout a living and do it well...would anyone want a man like that? He's so smart, he can do that!
But, OCD keeps him from working because anxiety causes extreme anxiety for he thinks always he is not good enough...so he works himself to DEATH! And, quits because he is still honorable.
He believes a women can bare the pants in the family and he is an excellent nurturing parent
So they live in poverty happily ever after?
I don't think so! Money can talk!
Is this fable? Please tell me it is. I'm excellent bate, but no one bites?
MY PROOF! | |

Money isn't a final deciding factor if I am considering dating someone. With that said, I am seeking someone who makes a decent living. I mean having a job with benefits and able to buy a basic house and car when I say decent living. It would be too much of a struggle with someone who is making only minimum wage.
I REALLY think this: Too many CEOs are paying themselves WAY too much money, at the expense of workers and shareholders. If they would just let go of their greed, and pay themselves a half million, they could give the workers a huge boost in wages. Then that would trigger a huge economic boom that results from added buying power for the middle class and for poor people to get out of poverty!
One of my fave CEOs is the CEO of Costco. The average pay for a worker at Costco is $16 per hour, while the CEO makes about $300,000 a year. Now that is a good corporate model, and a great company to be respected. You read all about Wal mart bashing, but no bashing about Costco. Why? Costco has a much better pay scale for workers while Walmart stiffs both the workers and the taxpayers by not providing enough health insurance.
In this day and age there's NO EXCUSE for paying workers such low minimum wages!!!!! Then money would be less of an issue because more people would have more of it!!

just because they are rich
If I liked nothing about somebody, but he had money, then I wouldn't date him, let along marry him.
If somebody was likeable, and had money, then I might date him, but wouldn't marry him
If somebody was lovable, and had money then I'd date him, might marry him
If somebody was lovable and had no money then I'd date him, might marry him
I don't think anybody would deny that money makes life easier.
But at this stage of my life I doubt I'll ever get married again. | |

Posted: 3/23/2006 11:22:57 AM | Actually it's interesting to me that this thread has gone on as long as it has.
For those of you who have not had the time to read through this whole thing, my original posting was inspired by a woman I know who in essence did just that.
Married a man purely for the financial security he could give her.
There's more than one woman I have known who would have no trouble doing it, and in fact even look forward to it.
Personally, I would find it a very hard decision. | |

Justgeorgie,
If somebody was lovable, and had money then I'd date him, might marry him
If somebody was lovable and had no money then I'd date him, might marry him
The key would is might, but which of the two would you rather have?
A) lovable with money (responsible)
or
B) lovable without money (bum)

Posted: 3/23/2006 7:17:52 PM | But what about poor and miserable vs rich and miserable??
Lets put it this way, I had a long term relationship with someone who had money and I was miserable.
Then I ended up in a long term relationship with someone who didn't have a pot to piss in, and I was miserable.
Don't know which was worse, either way, I was miserable.... | |

Posted: 3/23/2006 7:41:23 PM | Misery loves company-- I am sorry that you had to be miserable in the two relationships you described above.
NOT being miserable is the key here.
I'd rather be single than miserable. But if a good rich man comes along who treats me right and wants to marry me, then I'll go for it. If a good man who makes a decent living (able to live comfortably but isn't rich), I'll also go for it. Poor just would be miserable with all the worries about money and added stress. No thanks. | |

At some point in time we are going to force wages down to the point where there will be no market for any goods cheap or otherwise. The guy at Cosco in addition to being a decent guy is also a businessman like Henry Ford was. He believes in paying a decent wage. I may be wrong but I think that his starting pay is almost 18 per hour and also provides health insurance. I will buy nothing from Wal-Mart even if they are the only place that has it. If I had a costco within range he would get every bit of business I could throw him.
Money will buy a mighty fine dog but only love will make him wag his tail.

Posted: 3/23/2006 7:57:19 PM | Amen, Rev!! Costco's starting pay is up there, and there is good health coverage with them. I don't shop at Wal*Fart either
I liked the Kinky Friedman quote. Maybe he should run for President! | |

Posted: 3/23/2006 9:13:50 PM | Hi Designing woman,
Because we seem to have so many of the same Ideas and feelings I tried to contact you through this site but was rejected. I smoke and you have a restriction for that. You are too far away to date, I just wanted to give you some compliments. I am also about 150 years too old. Keep writing I like what you say.
Thanks for your ideas. This is from Texas where the Horses are smart and the cowboys all sing. We tried it the other way, the horses could sing well enough but we could not make the cowboys do tricks.
I lived in a suburb outside side of Houston for a while that consisted mainly of 50 yr old men and their 25 yr old third wives. Every city has them. It was an affluent area which might explain the age difference. It seemed like the women were only happy when they were shopping. Not much of a life. BMW's only go so far.
