| Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?
Posted: 1/12/2006 6:03:37 PM | | nope. In fact, the first person i met off of fish was a very nice fellow, who let me in on the fact that he was about to recieve almost a million dollars from a settlement from a car accident that almost took his life 6 years before. I met him 3 month before he was finally gonna get his money. Well during the last month, he started to dissapear alot, adn he finally confessed he was into cocaine and had quit for the first while that we met but now he was into it again. I gave him a chance to move into my house for a while, and i was suppost ot pick him up the next day at the bus depot (he lived out of town and didn't drive), and i saw him online on my msn that morning tha said he was on his way to calgary. Well he never showed, and with that as heart breaking as it was (he was the last person i fell in love with, a year ago) i wrote him an email and had ot dump him. I know alot of woman who would have stayed for hte money, but teh million was not worth going through the pain of watching another boyfriend slowly kill himself. He wasn't ready to quit and i wasn't going ot put up with anything like an addiction, ive spent enough nights waiting for phone calls, im not doing it anymore. | |

Posted: 1/12/2006 7:12:24 PM | | I think it's necessary for everyone to examin which relationships in their lives work and which ones don't work. In my opinion, most will find that those which work will be those which they bring no " ulterior motive " to it. Are you trying to get something out of that other person ? Money and riches is a universal desire but it's not hard to find other motivations for pursuing a relationship with any other person. I think most people will find that those relationships you have which the only reward is the company of the person itself, are the most rewarding and lasting. | |

Posted: 1/12/2006 8:43:22 PM | Hey neverBeenAQuitter,
If your ex was a coke-head, there is a good chance you would have never seen the money anyways. Since he lied to you about his addiction or at least withheld this obviously pertinent information, don't you think there is the slightest possibility he was never really going to get any money to start with? He was just dropping the hook with the rubber worm into the sea full of plenty of fish, to see what he could catch? | |

Posted: 1/12/2006 9:20:12 PM | | nope "nowwhere"....i got close to him family and spetn time with them outside of edmonton alberta in the small town (i drove up every weekend, it was about 2 hours away) me and his mother even talked about him staying in the towne for a while after he got the cash. She was worried about what he might spend it on, so she and i talked abotu him buying a house etc so that he couldn't blow it (she was such a nice lady). he was definitly gettign the money, i even recieved a call the day he actually got it, it was more than a week later i dumped him. Sad too, he was a single father (mother of the baby was a drunk) he had a good job (web designer for big companies) and deep down inside he was a good guy, just had a drug problem. | |

Posted: 1/13/2006 3:09:16 AM | There is one thing which might be mentioned here at this time that not anyone has thought about so far.
They don't love them, they barely like them, the sex isn't so good, if fact they find them insufferable a lot of the time.
That sounds like a lot of peoples MARRIAGES right now.
And, without the money !! | |

Posted: 1/13/2006 3:11:32 AM | No way. You may have all the possessions you could ever want but you would have a life of unhappiness and bitterness.
I'd rather be poor and happy with someone i love than rich and miserable any day. | |

When you hear the word “rich” do you think of money?
Do you itch to be rich like a playboy bunny?
There is far more to our lives then wealth and money.
Our good health is the wealth that makes our lives sunny.
Your life can be rich in flavor like bee’s honey.
We look good with fine jewelry and in elegant dress,
with vivid rich colors, we express and impress,
but what is our great packaging worth, more or less?
It’s our rich beauty that I would like to address,
but it comes from within’ and is hard to possess.
It’s great to have good food, enriched with spices,
our spa services in foreign sunny places,
with the latest devices and conveniences.
As long as we don’t live beyond our resources,
but our lust for fancy things has consequences.
Forgive me for the lack of a great debutante.
I had to find balance between our need and want.
Honey, don’t love money, void that itch to be rich.
For it’s true, no one wants to be caught in life’s ditch.
That would be a b*tch, and we’re not going to hitch.
Money is not evil, just our itch to be rich. | |

Posted: 1/13/2006 6:18:41 AM | | ^^^I don't know where you guys find your women but you need to hone your selection skills just a tad. If you're choosing poorly blame yourself and start learning some discernment. | |

That is definitely the advice a woman would give. Try living a few days in the life of someone it has happened to. While it does happen to women occasionally, reality and statistics dictate it will happen more often to men with assets than it will to women. I am sure you are selective and that is good. However you simply have better odds it won't happen to you by virtue of your gender. So why stand in judgement of those that have been taken advantage of, why not just answer the question? | |

Posted: 1/13/2006 8:35:02 AM | | My initial impulse was to say "yes" if she was pretty too and I could stand her, but if there is nothing I liked about a woman besides her bank account, my answer is absolutely not. | |

Keep that itch to get rich away from me!!!
I have the itch not to be rich, but to be financially secure and through my OWN means, not by using someone else. Women like me are more common than most men realize (just look at this thread.) Sorry but my pride/character/sense of self is too strong to grab onto someone else's coat tails. Honestly, I could have been a rich trophy wife many times over but I want more for myself... namely love. | |

Oh but I have, most emphatically. You would need to begin with Page 1. And I stick with my premise - learn some discernment. | |

Posted: 1/13/2006 9:42:15 AM | | I agree with you 100% MR.NOWHERE MAN....Personally i have never been married and never will..Most of the men i work with are in the boat you are talking about...It is the man that have to start over(LIKE 99.9% of the time)When a man in his 30s that has a house and goals in life..I would not advise him to get married unless he wants kids...But of course each his own.....I could careless about a woman...Them days are long over with...And thank god!! | |

Posted: 1/13/2006 10:26:07 AM | I would need to clarify, Nowhere Man. I'm not saying I would be in a position to judge someone. Everyone walking the earth for more than a few years have had bad experiences (some horrific). It's what we take from those experiences as a learning process and apply to future events that determine whether the actual experience has served any positive purpose in our lives. Hence the discernment.
My answer to whether or not I would marry someone just because they were rich was - "Oh, HELL NO." But we digress and have moved from the initial question. Nipoleon has posed an interesting, thought-provoking question - one from which I have diverted attention. My sincere apologies. | |
