| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/8/2008 6:00:35 PM | I don't know how marriages to powerful men have manifested through the centuries except for the fact that in most cultures divorce was out of the question. Instead men took mistresses and screwed around a lot. Yes beautiful women should be allowed to escape poverty on looks alone....why not? Who wants to live in poverty? Since you threw out a historical question I have a historical answer about beautiful women and poverty. Poverty-stricken, gorgeous girls were raised by their mothers to become courtesans in the King's court. They were taught a variety of languages, sexual competence in the bedroom, musical aptitude and how to read. They needed these skills in order to survive close scrutiny by the nobility at court. These women rescued themselves from a life of poverty using their beauty, brilliance and breeding. I see no harm in it. Of course a trophy wife isn't a prostitute that's why she's called an Trophy Wife rather than a Trophy Hooker.  | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/8/2008 6:12:00 PM | Sadly us men will always be drawn to physically attractive women. I have no idea what natural purpose this serves and it is irritating. There are many absolutely fine women out there but they just don't all look so good.
I will never forget sitting in a go-go bar some years ago when a guy jealously informed me that I has sitting with the prettiest girl in the bar (well, that is the idea isn't it?). I rather flippantly told him that for $30 I'd let him have her, and he duly coughed up. The look on the girl's face when I picked her up and placed her in his lap....
If it is that easy to make money just from looking good then I'm not surprised so many of the lookers are dumb. it was the only time I have ever made money from good looks, but if that is what some people regard as "work" then I've been had. | |

Really makes a guy long for the good ol' days when women knew how to crank up the charm...
Nowadays, beautiful young women can get hired for their looks with no talent/skills -- I'm thinking of the Paris Hilton's here, but it occurs at many levels -- and are therefore essentially the most powerful people in our society. How things have changed.

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 11:06:40 AM | | The only people I find have'n a problem with the "Beautiful people " are the Ugly ones who are being left out. Nothing wrong with haveing a "Trophy wife" Just because she's georgeous and great to look at, dosen't make her a stupid bimbo. If you took the time to know one instead of judge'n them right off the bat because she looks great, has fake boobs, wears expensive clothes or purse. You may find out that underneath all the beauty is a great person. I defnatly know plenty of them. Then again I guess your where you live can play a big part of it.. If you live in bumfuc Mississippi and there's just one "Trophy girl" in town.. I could see it get'n to her head. But where I live in Tampa, FL these girls are a dime a dozen so i could imagine that location could could play a par of it.. Its called Supply 'n demand ! lol P.S I have nuff'n against Mississippi .. just try'n to give a visual lol | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 11:39:42 AM | | No.........See, I actually know a "trophy wife" and this is exactly how she first introduced herself to me. I met her, simply asked her "what do you do" (as in profession) and she came back with " Oh, I'm a trophy wife" which, she is. Much younger than her man (however, he is a very attractive man) she is built well and can talk to a brick wall, very outgoing, and is a stay at home Mom, that interacts in the community, etc. She is one and she knows she is one and is not ashamed of it either. However, remember I live in Oklahoma. LOL. | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 1:52:32 PM | Sounds like a mutual beneficiary agreement to me. It's not very different from old time marriages. Just think, in antient greece and other places, these "trophy" wives were indeed little, or teen-aged boys! They used the boys to gain social status, and some believed that your wife was there to breed, and your boy toy was the only true "soul mate" a guy could have, it was the in- thing to do.
Imho, nothing has really changed. People can't gawk and be surprised that older men want younger women, and younger women want money:D Most were brought up thinking that diamonds are truely a girls best friend!
If anything, it seems it's the older male who wins in the end, not the beautiful woman. Out of his life, he's gotten wealthier, gotten married to someone who was once beautiful, gotten children out of it, got lucky and gotten an even more beautiful woman then the first. So why are people targeted at "gold diggers" for being attractive and wanting nice things. Sure, you can work your whole life to get what you want, but the truth of the matter is, the more attractive you are, the better you are treated. (that is unless you have a shit attitude and even that can be overlooked)
A lot of women know what they are getting into when they marry someone who is older and has money. Many don't think about the big picture ahead, at the aging they will go through and perhaps replacement. That same hand that led them to parties to show off may soon become cold and disinterested.
Some could care less, a life of luxory may be better then non at all. They will be taken care of, their offspring, and they will most likely be taken care of the rest of their lives without so much as lifting a pretty little finger. | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 3:26:20 PM | That's such a dumb question!!! What difference does it make if men take trophy wives. Donald Trump seems to take a new one ever 7 years!!! It just doesn't seem significant enough of a phenomena to even think about!!

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 4:46:21 PM | | Remember, the looks fade. The eye candy you see today, will become just like the rest of us over time. | |

| Trophy Wives??? Posted: 4/9/2008 6:38:12 PM | hey, nothing wrong with younger prettier women especially when they search you out. I've been on plenty of dating sites and for some reason even though I put in my profiles looking for someone between 45 and 52 I do get alot of younger women interested in me and I'm not even rich so you don't have to be rich to get a women younger and prettier. right now I'm talking to a woman who is 36 she came after me and is still interested in me knowing I have no money. | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 7:32:12 PM | | it's a business arrangement | |

so I guess you do have a problem with beautiful people as well...............
by the way, I also live in Tampa and have seen your type..... your type would put on a pedestal and revere "anything" with silicone and a blond wig.............must be some innate inferiority complex....

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 8:10:52 PM | | I have to agree....Only way it can be a trophy wife is if the guy treats them bad and keeps them around just to look at......You never know the woman might be the trophy and the guy is the dud! Feel sorry for beautiful women its harder for them to know if thier guys see them deeper past thier looks... | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/9/2008 8:28:58 PM | Regarding so called " Trophy Wifes " heres a thought......... Maybe it should be called " Trophy Husbands" Due to the fact that in most cases it seems that if the woman marries strictly for his money. After she is finished with him , destroyed his pride and taken him for everything he owns . ...............
It is the mans "Head That is mounted on the wall"......Just a opinion | |

Good thing you added that Masked Hero....I am orginally from Mississippi
I know a few self proclaimed Trophy wives. To each his own, if they have no problem with it than why should anyone else. I wouldn't choose to live my life that way but they seem happy in their relationships and that in my opinion is all that should count. | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/11/2008 11:57:47 PM | | Women are not here to be a trophy there are here like men to be loved and cherished. Unfortunately in today's society divorce is so easy and meaningless. As we get older we all wish we had our youth back and therefore we look to find either a beautiful woman or a great looking guy to com;iment ourselves. It is expected in our society and it makes us feel good about ourselves when our significant other is either well off financial or has great looks. We are only human and crave the best that can be received. | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/12/2008 12:18:29 AM | | I will only say that I was a trophy wife that rose above it all, and made it my place to not be the victim of manipulation and selfishless of a de-humanised male with the compassion of a Knat. I knew he was manipulator and thankfully family believed enough in me to toss him to the dregs of poop skummmmmmmmm. | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/12/2008 12:24:33 AM | There is no such thing. yada yada | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/12/2008 12:40:10 AM | | You can't be serious. If some old man beds a stunner he's going to be the envy of all his bridge playing buddies. If he's banging her every night and no one else is getting any - He'll be the alpha male out on first tee next time he tees up with his buddies. He'll never know she's railing the poolboy too. | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/12/2008 1:06:15 AM | These women acutally admire respect and love their husbands, they cant help being pretty they cant choose their genetics or how society has educated women to look, who says they escape poverty and dont work hard, how dare you be little the home body who raises children keeps her husband happy, runs a home and is socially active sounds healthy to me, and liek hard work, you dont knwo these womens lives will end they could end up broke and alone, you have no idea
the grass isnt always greener, it snormally a good match, an older smarter man who has success and feels good about himself and secure and a younger woman who relies on him, and looks up to him and appreciates him
verses the inadequate man whos wife is the rock and wears the pants, its a good mix, I dont want a man leaning on me , I want one who has conquered the domain, who is in control and who can wear the pants fairly and accept and value my contribution,
its not the life I want and obviously you dont want it either but lets not do the tall poppy on these guys and these women, they actually can donate alot of time and money to worthwhile causes, pay alot of tax and not burden the system by paying private health insurance and private school expenses etc etc,
Unfortunatley it goes with success and they are stuck with it.......
if you check the profiles of the men on here you will see the age groups they are chasing, and these men are hardly what you call successfull, and read the forums you will see that the men on here successfull or not only contacting the younger or more attractive woman and the shallowness you talk about is definatley across the board fairly and squarley.
Sex appeal is sex appeal and the poor man is no different to the rich man, all men ultimatley marry to create a family unit and the love between the poor is no different than the wealthy,
These people didnt create the superficial world of fake boobs etc but are apart of it and believe me they pay the price in their world as much as every body else, those women can look great till they take their tops off and you get up close and see the scars and needle marks, they simply are not that good looking after a shower or first thing in the morning
different circumstances, different problems
Dont assume their is no love between these people, and that they dont deserve their success and pay the price for it, and dont ultimatley end up alone like everyone else the highet you climb the harder you fall | |
|
| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/12/2008 5:22:06 AM | Is there a question here?
What are you talking about?? Those women are smarter than the FIRST wives ever thought about being. The first wives who possibly worked two jobs and supported HIM while he went to law or medical school, only to get left in the end?
The "trophy" wives are smarter than the first wives and smarter than the men who marry them. They are smart enough to have a kid or three, so that if he ever decides to leave HER or vice versa, she's guaranteed of being supported in grand style until those kids are grown.
Duped? Someone's being duped all right, but it's not the "trophy wives." | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 4/12/2008 5:28:23 AM | | Thank you Lucky777s! Why in the world would anyone think that the man in this situation is the one who is oh so smart, and that the woman is some naive innocent who doesn't know what she's getting herself into? It's usually the other way around...She's the one leading HIM around by the...nose. SHE is the one who benefits from this arrangement so many more ways than he ever will! | |

| Trophy Wives Posted: 7/1/2009 10:34:54 AM | It is definately true that most human beings (not just men) are attracted to attractive people. However, over the years I've learned that if you have a good woman who is outstanding in every respect but lacking in the looks department, keep her. The light switch is yor best friend. Ugly people need loving too and most of them really appreciate it. A beautiful woman will sometimes think she is doing you a favor by giving you a little. An ugly woman will give you all you can handle and makes sure you appreciate it and keep you coming back for more. I'll take the low maintenance /high energy woman every time. Can I get an amen brothers and sisters!!  | |
