| Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?
Posted: 6/13/2006 9:06:25 PM | I would like to open my eyes when making love to my love one. If I marry a rich guy just for the money, then my eyes would be shut all the time lol. Also most rich guy are cheap skates, they are tight , thats why they are rich. I could work for the money, its no problem for me to make money, its an easy job . I have been offered before when I have 2 full time job to get my 2 sons to college but I turned him down, it was a hard 6 yrs to do 2 full time job but I made it. I didnt have a social life for 6 yrs but I am so proud of myself when both my sons graduated from college.  | |

Posted: 6/13/2006 9:33:21 PM | Absolutely not. It wouldn't be my money and it would be used as leverage/power over me. It would be like being a pet to that person, with them looking after all your needs like one. I want independence, so I would rather work for my own survival than suffer such a fate.
No doubt you are thinking how I would treat a women if I had great wealth then. Well, I would rather that she would be independent/self sufficient to begin with. If not, I would discuss if she would like help to be independent before marriage and/or during marriage. If she so wished help, I would give loving support, monitary support at no interest and no expectation of repayment. There would always be room for open communication if anything needs and/or is wished to be changed in such an arrangement, at any time desired. I totally believe in fairness, equity and loving charity between relationship/marriage partners. I do not believe in anyone in the marriage/relationship using money as leverage/power against one another. | |

Posted: 6/15/2006 5:44:04 PM | I don't even like excepting gifts from guys if there is no chemistry there for me or a connection of some sort...not only that...I don't believe that money makes you happy...I rather have nothing and be alone than to go against my morals and values and be with someone for the money...I would consider that using someone and I was taught, treat others the way you would like to be treated....I wouldn't want to be used, so I guess that means I would never marry for the money...it's love for me all the way!!! | |

Posted: 6/23/2006 1:32:01 PM | Hell no, I can make my own money. Plus it's way more rewarding to earn your own money. Marrying for money is just as bad as lazy welfare scum. Why are people so god damn selfish and lowly?!? Where is the self respect, sense of being proud of ones self, so on and so forth1?
I'm not even loaded yet and I already have most of the things I want. I will definitely achieve all or most of what I want in life, on my own... so no fvkcing way!! | |

Posted: 6/26/2006 10:30:27 PM | NEVER would I marry someone who is rich.
I may very well marry someone who is rich in EMOTIONAL ASSETS- such as empathy, compassion, understanding, communication skills (which the underlying factor is an emotional need to want to make things work, thus communicate better), hoonesty, respect, etc...
and who is passionate about life :)
but money....money is a materialistic gain. it may be necessary to live but it is not required and demanded in a relationship with me - it is the heart and the mind which is so much more important. But i wouldn't mind if he had a little ambition, direction and some passion for work.
Money may lead to a higher quality of life for some but not for me. The only thing I would love to have a lot of money for is for plane trips for all my future travels around the world:)

Posted: 6/27/2006 10:34:33 PM | Nope I wouldn't. I've had men with money give me gifts, I returned right back to them because I wasn't interested in them. I definitely would not marry a man I didn't truly love for money because it is a recipe for a disastrous marriage.
I can do bad all by myself. | |

Posted: 6/27/2006 11:25:59 PM | | Good thread and honest to God NO!!! The reason why I can say this with such confidence is because I was faced with almost that situation. No proposal but was actively pursued by a gentleman who had just won 6.6 million dollars the summer before I met him. Trust me I was human and was tempted but in the end I couldn't even bear to be his girlfriend our differences were just too many. I think back on it now and again and of course the thoughts pop into my head when I go through life's struggles that geesh I could have avoided this but am proud of myself for not settling for financial security over happiness. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 12:20:39 AM | | Being 100% percent honest here, hell no! Marriage is about love with your partner and possibly having a family together. Not about materialistic bullshit. I want love and would never even let the thought of marrying someone for their money enter my mind! NO WAY! | |

Posted: 6/29/2006 7:38:58 PM | I think plenty of people throughout history have not married for love. And I think its ok.
In the old days when there were castles and knights, people had to get married because thats the only way most people could survive. Being single wasn't that much of a choice back then. You were kind of limited to who was your age, who was geographically close to you and who might improve your standard of living.
In all honesty, marrying for love is a luxury that humans have created. A person can survive as a single person in modern time. Might not be easy, but then again its not like there are invading knights storming the castle either.
I think it depends on the circumstances. In the movie, As Good As It Gets, Helen Hunt had a very sick son, a dead end job and almost no hope for the future. If she married strictly for money ( and lets be honest, thats all Nicholsons character could really offer in some ways) then I would not blame her. But even if she was rich herself and married for money, its her life, its her choice.
I think a better question might be - "Would You Marry Someone Despite The Fact That They Live In Poverty?" I think that question might be more telling about love, finances and society. | |

Posted: 6/29/2006 8:37:08 PM | I think McGordon raises an important point.
In a lot of the world, arranged marriages is still very much the norm. Being strictly a business arrangement between families where love has little to do with it.
It's only in our modern western world that the idea of finding a " true love " from a multitude of possibilities is taken as normal. And, I think it's obvious that we arn't very good at it.
As far as marrying a poor person ?
How many little girls fantasize about being Sleeping Beauty and wakened by the kiss of a hansom janitor ? | |
