| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/1/2008 9:36:16 AM | I've only read OP's first post. What motivates a man to need or want a partner as a trophy? "Look at me guys! Look what I won!" | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/1/2008 9:54:29 AM | Trophy wives have been around since marrage has. Granted now-a-day they are the skinny young thing.
But isn't that the male dream. To marry someone who is younger, and drop dead beautiful. To show off how great he is by making others jealous. I mean, I'm not talking down about guys, but it is what soceity views as the perfect dream.
As for women, I know they look for people who can take care of them. And in order to get the life they want they have to pay ALOT of attention to their apperance.

No, it's to have a different beautiful hottie every other night (or not) at ones whim.
As Bill Maher said, no matter how beautiful the woman there's some man who's tired of sleeping with her.
Even a trophy wife is still just a wife.

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/1/2008 1:15:49 PM | WOW!!!
*Sure would like to know, personally,...what this type of arrangement, really feels like! Just for one day!
*And I do agree, the first wives are the disadvantaged,...unless-
*I also agree,...pretty women fall into these types of situations much easier, then say "A Prostitute."(not that prostitutes are disgusting or anything)
*Pretty women, definitely have the upper hand, on issues,...throughout life!
*But, however,...they won't always be able to get by with just their smile! | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/1/2008 2:24:12 PM | Lil Brooker, it really is exactly that.
You look at profiles showing the guy with a couple of hot babes by his side, a picture of his hotted up car, his muscled physique, and him at party having fun.
The message is LOOK at me! I have it all! I have all the material things that society says I should have so I MUST be pretty darn cool!
 | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/1/2008 3:21:32 PM | LOL ... Thats too funny ! Im not cool at all... I just work hard and like to play even harder.. Or maybe I just watched too many James Bond movies as a kid... Or maybe I'm just too darn Patriotic and belive in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.. Look at me everybody I'm happy and enjoying life !  | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/1/2008 4:46:31 PM | From what I've seen (locally) of trophy wives it appears they get their physical needs taken care of away from home. Around here we have a bar thats known for adulterous meetings at weekends & that place is packed with em on Saturday nights. Kinda bad when you bump into the wives of guys you know... well, at least for them anyway....  | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/2/2008 11:07:21 AM | ^^^^ I wish we had a place like that in my town. Sounds like a fun place to hang out once in a while and observe the natives in their natural habitat. There's certainly nothing on TV on Saturday nights, and I've always wondered what a real trophy wife looks like (well, not really).  | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/2/2008 11:15:59 AM | Twice I've been at that bar when one half of a couple showed up with a date only find the other half already there with their date. Highly entertaining, kinda like Springer, but with Merc/Lexus (Lexii?) instead of homes on wheels.... :)
& in case you're wondering, I dated a barmaid from there for a while & they have really good food. | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/2/2008 11:46:12 AM | I would never want to be that kind of wife. Whether it represents an "education" or not. I am too independent and self confident and very physically attractive so I couldn't settle for that. I can earn my own money. So there is nothing an older man can offer than I can't either get on my own or find in a man my own age (or younger). But to all the less equipped women out there .... go for it. | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/2/2008 9:07:13 PM | Masked Hero....It seems "Tralaza" is just mad...'cause SHE isn't in that picture!  | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/2/2008 10:30:46 PM |
A real Trophy Wife is the one who is beautiful and warm hearted and decent lady that any man would be proud to have by his side, could count on her to stand by him thru the hardest of times and trust her with his very life and is not necessarily the most young and nubile!
Sort of..
Okay, I realize that I am a nearly extinct American breed- the DAR Southern girl who went to cotillion on Fridays, can work her way competently through a receiving line, knows a seafood fork from a salad fork.... Was taught the emotional exchange balancing health insurance, and botox, and I understand this in the same context as say an arranged marriage between Asian Indians or Muslims. I was raised to do this, I just didn't.
And I would have to say that if the arrangement of marriage was suitable to both partners, then let it ride. My experience is that these marriage often fare well, even if not my personal cup of tea.
And trust me, a lot of money is spent grooming women to become "trophy wives". | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/2/2008 11:08:18 PM | Hmmmm . . . I don't know about you all but anyone who you spend a lot of time with had better have some "Trophy" Qualities or what the point? Who would ever partner up with anyone less? If they would then they don't have much self respect, now do they?

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/2/2008 11:19:06 PM | | there are also beautiful young intelligent women that marry older intelligent and rich men because they find them to have the qualities they need. A rich older intelligent man can buy a young intelligent woman easily. Not all beautiful young women are poor, stupid and in need of a better life:sometimes it is simply a matter of preference. | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/3/2008 1:38:36 AM | ^^^That's one hell of an excuse...for picking a gentleman's pocket^^^
But if he's the dumb-arse that allows it...he deserves whatever use and abuse he receives!
Likewise...so does she...'cause it sure ain't a-comin' for free! | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/3/2008 2:18:03 AM | in short; trophy wives and the men they marry deserve each other.
i think in life getting by on what u have is important wether it be looks,intelligence,family money or just plain dumb luck. some people simply are not smart , to say that all not so smart people shouldnt be able to get by on different things isnt very nice to them,they probably already deal with a great deal of disrespect due to their lack of intelligence.
some men will support a woman in order to make all their friends jealous and some women will take on the role as mrs dutyfull house wife for finanical security; both are adults and no one is getting "duped". | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/3/2008 6:30:42 AM | | I just love how Women constantly remind us men about how much SMARTER they are then us men... Yet they bash each other on how STUPID and DITSY they are.. LOL Cus from what Im gathering from these post.. Every TROPHY wife or Barbie girl.. is just a beautiful dumb girl .. LOL gotta love it | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/3/2008 9:46:32 AM | | yes well look at the barbie type girls that are so UBER smart, Paris Hilton,Anna Nicole Smith,Jessica Simpson,Tara Ried.....these are all "barbie esque" type girls that are dumber than the clothes they wear,,,i think in order to become a "trophy wife" u have to be somewhat less intelligent otherwise why be some mans trophy? We are talking about only Trophy wives not beautiful women in general some of the smartest women ive ever known have been also the most beautiful....and they would never ever be someones trophy. i think most women dont have problems with beautiful smart women but they do have problems with stupid air head barbies who's only destiny in life is to marry a quarter back,write a book about shopping and "act" or "sing". | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/3/2008 2:33:32 PM | Some just get what they deserve. Some just deserve what they get.
No woman would like her head cut off and put on a wall! Whomever coined the stupid word is simply a retarded chauvinist.
If the ugly old man chooses the no-brain Bimbo, isn't it because he cannot get or does not want anything else ??? Why would anybody judge either him or her? It's none of other people's business what they do.
Are we saying that older men should not marry younger women? What kind of a racist statement is this?
| |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/3/2008 2:38:29 PM | Laughing out loud, falling off the chair - are you serious????
Blokes get their kids family house and then want the younger version to live in it - hence the second wives club, bimbets with no money, no education and no attachment.
Of course they fit well into a sports car, who wouldn't if they havn't had a life yet, and whose to say she would want kids with the old man, maybe she married him for his house and money and when he is gone she can find a nice man to have kids with, someone her own age.

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/6/2008 6:39:50 AM | | Are they really happy though with this arrangement. | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/6/2008 7:08:45 AM |
Are we saying that older men should not marry younger women? What kind of a racist statement is this? I think you need to read up on the definition of "racist". As far as I am aware, men do not change from one race to another when we get older. (ok, apart from possibly Michael Jackson). Or are you saying young women & older women are different races? At what age do they change from black to white, or vice versa? latino to asian?
I'd be pretty pissed if I went to bed with some hot young gal of one race & woke up next to some old crone from another....  | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 3/8/2008 7:25:57 PM | Its not all about fairy tales coming true or prostitution or getting rescued just based on looks.
I was a Trophy Wife to my ex husband (1st wife). He was a successfull corporate pilot and he envisioned the way he wanted his life to be. That included a wife that dressed a certain way, looked a certain way, maintained herself at all times, and was the ideal perfect wife.
This, of course, wasn't what I wanted for MY life. I became this as his responsibility with work became more evident.
Anyways I don't want to tell my life story here, but we started out as two poor young kids. We didn't have a status to uphold. So, sometimes it is forced upon and by no one's control..... it just happens.
My ex is remarried and his (2nd wife) is now another Trophy Wife. She is older then me. Some women will conform and some wake up and smell the coffee. Hope this is some help to you!  | |
