Budgirl, Trump may get all the young hot sexy wives money can buy, but money still doesn't buy class. That is the difference, you are young hot and sexy, but they lack the class you have.
OT.... nope

Wealthy men are set in their ways.
I have met a few, and the looks department they can be more attractive due to their lifestyle, but men with wealth are demanding and want things done their way.

Ok, so here's my honest opion, and I think EVERY man reading this thinks it's true. RICH guys have no problem getting young, beautiful, trophy women to hang around with them. If OJ Simpson had of worked the assembly line at the GM plant, he wouldn't have gotten within 100 yards of Nicole Brown, and every man on earth knows that. I think there are lots of women, if not most, who wait around for some rich guy to come and marry them. I hear all the time, women moaning and complaining about why they don't meet their true love. And I hate to say this but after talking to these women I can only draw the conclusion that they don't meet their true love, because their true love isn't rich enough. If it's insulting to judge a woman on the size of her boobs, isn't it insulting for a woman to judge a man on the size of his bank account ? Love is Love, happiness is a choice not something which happens to you, and people are just people. Now I will step back and let everyone pick away at what I just said.

I will say this I am not going to go look for someone poor.

And it wouldn't bother me to win the lottery, but then I wouldn't consider it winning the lottery, if it didn't have the numbers that I picked

I can absolutely saw no way. I am a guy obviously.

I can't say I was rich, but well on my way through hard work and diligence outside my regular job, working at aquiring property and being an entrepeneur in some other industries yet to be exploited. I met a hispanic women from El Paso, while I was living in Abilene. At the time I had no unsecure debt, working on getting into a commercial property after selling off a short term venture.

I met this women and she talked me into trying to get transferred to El Paso. I was able to get the transfer and moved all my possessions ahead of time, so I could rent out my home, instead of selling it. Her father had 3 or 4 yard sales before we moved from her house into our new house and walked away with the proceeds. My personal possessions began to rapidly diminish and i saw nothing for most of them. When we moved into a house we bought I didn't have much of my own stuff left, but new stuff continue to disappear.

She seemed all sweet and loving until it came time to pay the bills about $330K in 9 months including a house and a full-size loaded SUV. Once the credit cards maxed out and there was no more to spend, she turned into the whore from h_ll. Within 9 months after that the divorce was final and all I had left was the big house with a big mortgage, a fold-out futon couch, a 13 inch television, a glider rocker and a few yard tools.

If anyone thinks this is a stupid question to ask, because people don't do it, you are wrong. I moved back to Maine about a year after the divorce and I am recovering well financially. I did have to liquidate some assets to cover my losses, but I am only down not out. As for her, she found another guy on the internet while we were divorcing and married him within 5 months of our divorce. She lives in a Denver suburb and is doing the same thing to another guy, a 5000 square foot house and a new vehicle for starters. Her family has become wards of his generosity as they did with me. I would almost say this ought to be considered a crime, marriage for money and possessions, except there is no way to legislate stupidity. Like the next victim, I was stupid and should have seen it coming.

I am not airing out just to hear myself talk. I hope this will save some guy some heartache and let the good women know there are women out there that really do such things.

Well, when you put it that way, I think that you would have to hold your nose before you did something like that. However, I would want some more details about that person before I gave a straighforward answer. I take it that the sex would not be pleasant because, she was ugly....very ugly. However, if the sex were bad due to reasons not having to do with looks or personal hygine.....then, you know...I would have to ponder the matter very seriously. Lots of money can cover a multitude of sins and shortcomings.

I only want fifty dollars and I already have the things I want, so it hardly seems worth it. I think I could get the fifty easier. If I wanted billions of dollars and she had cute nose, I might marry her, but I would want the money in dimes.

I'm crazy for even posting on this topic a second time, but I feel compelled to mention one more thing.

There is a difference between rich and wealthy first.

Every relationship is give and get. That's simply what it is, take and give.

When one starts to explore another social class, let's assume, "Rich"....(not wealthy, eons of difference here)- the personal consumption points increase to the points of control in a negative way.

So. Debate that.

What is it that a "rich" partner would want from another? Take a few guesses here...what is it that one would have to "give" in order to obtain the "get" of this contract?

Methinks it is foul and stinks...

My experience has taught me most women care way more about money and status then they let on. I own a business, make good money and meet a lot of people in the run of a day. The vehicle I decide to drive that day has a direct reflection on the attention I receive from women. Pull up in the old van and I don't get a second glance. Show up in one of the "nice cars" and I have to beat them off with a stick. It's actually really funny and sad at the same time. Dating for me has become a bit of a game. I call it "Find the Golddigger".

Test..interesting point..

There's probably a few people floating about that it's become a barrier or problem for you know. Care to share what it feels like when you get all interested and cannot impress even with full disclosure having occured?

Oh. Wait. You don't do that now do you? Ha ha!

The fact is that I happen to know a woman who has done exactly what I have postulated. She has just married a man and can't come up with much of a reason except that he makes a lot of money and will provide her financial security for the rest of her life. She will never have to work again. She doesn't love him, the sex is only passable, in fact she's cheated on him numerous times. But he's obsessed with her and he's got a lot of money. Apparently she's the best lay he's ever had and he hates it when any other man looks at her. So she went ahead and married him. I say she's making a mistake and will end up miserable. What do you think ?

Oh and just to answer the obvious questions before they get asked.

I'm not the only one.

Yes I am, a little.

I don't care how rich someone is... if I couldn't stand them, no amount of money could make me fake it.

Would I marry for money if I was single? No. Plain and simple. Hell I don't even know anyone close to me that did. I do know guys with money, they get ruined thinking thats all girls want, and they end up not respecting any of them. I feel sorry for guys like that. Its their own falt for their way of thinking. Not a wonder they attract the ones that just want money. They skare off the really good girls with pure hearts.
Atleast in alot of the cases. I think.

This question has been asked so many times in this Forums. Just a few days ago, I said to myself if it ever come up one more time, new or old thread, I will response to it. The reason? There is a rich guy who is wanting to marry me, and I turned him down. Actually it is the third time in the past 13 months he proposed. Last time was Christmas.

Look, I am not a young chick, I am 57 and he is 54. I have to work everyday for a living, and basically I am quite poor. If I purchase an personal item over a hundred dollar for myself it would be my luxury. I have no house, no car and no savings. If I would be sick for 3 months, I would have to apply social assistance to survive. So this childless widower who come to me with his 3 million assets, why would I say no??

There is one big reason - I find him totally insufferable and unbearable. I would have to be heavy dosed with drugs before he could kiss me and undress me. So, it is not that I wouldn't, it is I COULDN'T.

Is he so terrible? Not really, for most of my friends know him and tried many times to talk me into marrying him. He is no good looking but yet one cannot call him ugly either. It is just that I find him very annoying and coarse. It is no way that I can sleep with him, not even for one night.

Every buyer need a seller. Not that I would not "sell" myself, but if the buyer has no other attractive qualities besides his money, it is a NO. I know I am picky.
