Posted: 3/24/2006 6:35:08 AM | Dear OP
Would you marry someone [b>]just[b/] because they are rich?
^^^
The answer to your question can be simple and perhaps obvious to most!
Most just simple say... NO... I would never!!
Many that lust after money would just simply lie about it... sometimes not
even realizing they’re being dishonest, since they justify there lust for money!
These types often tell them selves that it takes more then just money
or security to catch there attention but on a close examination money is
there number one motivating factor they seek... or close second or third!
Hopefully money is not number one but as a father or brother would we
not suggest to those we love that a good helpmate should be resourceful
and that this is an attractive attribute. So how do we define that properly?
The bottomline
VVV
Money is not everything, but poverty is nothing.
and
It’s the lust for money that is evil not money in it’s self.
and
It’s not how much money you make, it’s what you do with it... that counts.
Lots of people have money and they waste it... foolishly
in the end they will have nothing...
Some have very little money but invested it wisely...
in the end they will have more then most.
Who amongst us enjoys poverty since the word can only be negative.
However the word “poverty is in all honesty just a frame of mind...
A negative mind set!!!
What is attractive to me is a person who appears to have nothing, but is happy.
… the person who works hard for little pay, yet doesn’t' complain at the end of the day.
… the person who fines the silver lining in their cloud.
… the person that sees their cup as half full instead of half empty.
… the person who makes the best with what they have and is happy.
These people are richer then those of us with money who can't seem to get enough.
These happy people are not poor at all and are far easier to love.
These are the people who understand the other meanings of the word rich.
These are the people that I love and try to learn from!!!
Lets face the truth… when it comes to money, some are wise with
their time and talents and therefore have money and some are not.
As for me I’m still learning

Posted: 3/24/2006 6:58:55 AM | I've also dated men that like to exploit their assets and material possessions, this to me is a total turn off!!! I'm also not attracted to men who think they're all that....you know the one's ladies, they are good looking, they know it and expect to get away with everything while calling you baby, baby, honey!!! F*** OFF!!! I avoid these men like the plague!!!
Genuine, honest and humble is the way to go...... | |

Posted: 3/24/2006 7:07:52 AM | | I would rather sip a beer with a man I loved than choke on champagne having to suffer an a$$hole for even five minutes. Have known a lot of rich men, and have found them to be very boring and bored in general. Seems like they are so used to everyone doing everything for them, they can no longer think outside of the box or even entertain themselves. I love poking fun at them and bringing them "back down to earth". The good ones enjoy it, the ruined ones are lost. There was one rich man that actually came to life after finding out that a day at the beach just picking up seashells and having fun with the kids (that only cost about $2 in gas to get there) was the most fun he had had in YEARS. Can't put a price on laughter. After that I taught him how to make the killerest brownies and he looked just like a little kid sitting there licking the spoon. | |

The trick I learned is if I could afford a hundred thousand dollar home I bought one for seventy-five or eighty. If I could afford a $30,000 car I bought one for $25,000. If I could afford a $500 suit I bought one for $400. From TVs and computers to patio sets always buy something less than you can afford. That way you always have extra money.
Some people buy the most expensive things they can afford and when something happens they lose it all. That's why we see doctors and lawyers filing for bankruptcy.
Best wishes and happy fishing.  | |

Posted: 3/24/2006 10:38:46 AM | I keep reading this stuff and looking at the profiles of the women who write them. I have come to believe that one of Canada's greatest assets is its bright and beautiful women. I never knew those women were up there. I think I will go north on my next vacation. Actually all of the women on these forums are pretty exciting.
People marry for wealth often. Its a bad idea. I once had lots of money and I got stalked a few times. One woman called several of my friends and asked if they knew just how much money I had. I ran into her not long ago and she had married some very wealthy man. She was miserable and looking for lovers. I declined the offer. | |

Posted: 3/24/2006 8:14:19 PM | Quality vs. Quantity
I go for quality rather than what's the most expensive item. Going for the most for the dollar is the best way to go. Instead of getting a new car, I bought a three year old car that has a six years and 100,000 miles warranty on the car. I drive with security knowing that if something goes wrong, the warranty will cover it. Also I didn't take the hit for depreciation.
I also buy fine quality clothing but on SALE. I've been known to scare up $200 sweaters for only $50 or less. I even bought an Izod skirt for a mere $5 on clearance. Bargain hunting is a skill in itself, and if one is knowledgeable about what items are quality, it can save plenty of money and give you more "bang for the buck".
Most likely I'll buy a so so house when I get to NY and fix it up. I will however want something that is sturdy so I can improve on it and make it look even better  A designer's challenge.
I think it's better to be with someone who is SMART with money regardless of how much money he actually possesses in the bank account. I'd rather be with an accountant who drives a used but nice Honda than with a guy who can barely keep up with his Maserati payment. It's all relative, my friends. Someone who lives opulently might not even BE rich!! | |

Posted: 3/24/2006 10:22:18 PM | I could be wrong....but studies have shown women are drawn to men with wealth and power.
Do men like Mick Jagger and Donald Trump get the best looking women because of their sterling personalities? | |

Personally, I would only marry someone I loved who made me feel our lives together would be a partnership. Got to have the whole fairytale. Smiles | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 4:41:59 PM | Honey this is an age old question. You may as well ask a bunch of random men if they would marry a woman simply because she was drop-dead gorgeous! The answer is-- HELL YES!!
(But, ahem-- I myself would go for the charming personality over all else. Laters...xx) | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 7:15:23 PM | Wow, 3 months and 24 pages and this topic still growing.
My final word on this topic is with equal appearance and attractiveness, the man I would marry to would be the man who would pawn his shirts, sell his blood for me when I am in need, but not the one who has money and taking every minute of his time to finger out if I have used his money for granted or/and how should I deserve his money. | |

Supposedly Trump has a great homelife and personality. Whether he bought them or not I can't say.
Mick Jagger is a funky sex symbol known throughout decades. Shit, I might marry him!
Money doesn't mean everything to me, but I chose to stay single for a long time, and I never felt as miserable and lonely as when I moved home because I was starving and couldn't pay rent in Halifax.
6 figure incomes don't attract me, but niether does the smell of the unemployment line.:P | |

Posted: 3/27/2006 2:57:49 AM | I would only marry a man that is rich in personality !
If there is big money involved, I would have no problem with a prenup!
A man has to make me laugh most of all.
You cant BUY my LOVE!
Although medical comes in handy! LOL | |

Posted: 3/27/2006 9:21:08 AM | | No prenuptial, yep! Money can not buy happieness but it can buy comfort. Also some people are intimidated by the wealthy. so many wealthy people are lonely too. How does that saying go Money can't buy you love but it can buy you... well for me something I love! As always my humble opinion! | |
