| would you marry for money? Posted: 4/22/2009 11:22:44 PM | HE made a comment that anyone who says they wouldn't marry for money is a liar. Therefor I made a comment that all officers cheat and beat. Perhaps you should stop kissing azz and read all the posts to realize why a post was made. Hmmm? Maybe? If he can state that everyone would marry for money and those that won't are liars, I can then state that officers cheat and beat. If his experience has been that women only marry for money, well, my experience has been that officers cheat and beat.
All sensible people, of either gender know as common knowledge that NOT all males throughout all society are "bad eggs", if you will, just the same as NOT all officers in the Armed Forces are bad eggs either.
just as not ALL women would marry for money. and those who claim they won't, aren't liars.
See how that knife cuts both ways? He generalized, I generalized. | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 7:38:57 AM | | OP: Given the scenario (first paragraph, not the rest of it), NO! Why would you? If you stand to get a lot of money and that is why you marry them, all that does is make you an expensive prostitute (regardless of your gender). | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 8:20:20 AM | ah-- why must this question always persist? there are a few women who would, but don't let that affect the majority of women who would never consider it. that is nothing else but being a 'kept' person, which is completely off-balance and degrading really.
my question is- why would a guy want someone who only wanted him for this money? a very plastic relationship all the way around. and money may come and go- you didn't say that he was also intelligent and had a great financial planner, LOL.
and why do a lot of men ( who think this way) never consider that women have money too? | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 11:47:51 AM | | Personally , for me, absoltutely NOT.....there is no glory in marrying for money only and will only lead to more unhappiness. I've been married before , had the money thing and I was miserable. I would rather live in a broken down shack with someone I was in love with , than a 20 million dollar Candy Spelling mansion ....money never bought anyone true happiness....bought you all the prada purses and Dolce Gabana you wanted...but how many clothes can you wear? How many shoes can you have? The feeling of being truly in love is complete euphoria and cannot compete with any amount of money in the world and in the end , it never works out. I will never understand why people marry for money....love is the only way to go...when love goes wrong, nothing goes right! It's a proven fact! | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 12:59:38 PM | Money is like sex ,it's good as long as you enjoy it.. ..But no,I would never marry for money! | |
|
| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 1:08:06 PM | How much money? Like tons of it? Dump trucks full?
ohhhhhh only 10 million?
No. I thought I might for a moment, but then...no, not just for 10 million.
What happens if they die? Do I get to keep anything then? | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 3:53:46 PM | *Not ugly *some emotional and mental chemistry so you could stand to be around them *If you walk out you get nothing...but what if they die having wild sex on your private beach? If so and I get my own generous allowance until that happens...heck yes! Then I can buy my own Boy Toy!  | |
|
| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 5:33:34 PM | Never marry for money.
Money can't buy happiness.
If I can't buy it on my own, I don't want it. | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 6:02:19 PM | | Some day you'll have to look back on life. Talk about regrets. We get one life and to waste it like that would really be sad. | |
|
| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 7:35:12 PM | | Nope, not for the money. If I cannot see wanting to be with someone for life I won't marry him. | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 8:08:56 PM | Do I have to sleep with this person or can we have separate beds? Does he like cats? Can he be a good friend at least? Is he patient?
Why would I marry him, apart for the money? Nobody marries ONLY for money ( unless they are broke and lazy) , to the exclusion of more essential things......... compatibility and shared values and likings, for instance.
This question has been formulated very badly.
"Love makes you happy": well, it depends. The kind that is sustainable and self-created does. In this sense, the presence of the other is relative.

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/1/2009 8:21:15 PM | Sure why not. The relationship you do describe seems amicable enough and no pressure for anything other than polite company and companionship. I may be a bit jaded but the older I get the less importance there seems to be for me in romantic feelings, with more emphisis on compatability. If the other party knew I felt and felt the same way, why not. If however the other felt morre and was expecting or hoping that I would eventually, then no.

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/9/2009 11:21:03 AM | I would have to be wildy emotionally and physically attracted, and compatible, with someone to marry them, so i would not marry someone for money,
BUT
I would NOT marry a man who was fiscally irresponsible, and a bum. i take care of myself andf my needs fiscally and am very responsible, and expect no less in a man. Plus, i came from a family where men provided. Though i dont need to be provided for, i like to know he can provide, if that makes any sense. | |
|
| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/9/2009 11:28:10 AM | Probably not... even with all my financial stress these days.
There's just something about marrying into money.. it makes you feel weak. | |
|
| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/9/2009 11:29:54 AM | My mama always said... Marry the first time for love, and the second time for Money!! In the end...I've got to dig the person I wake up to every morning....but on the other side of that coin, I wouldn't marry poor either! | |

| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/9/2009 12:04:20 PM | I could have and didn't ; this girl was very sweet and nice but when we started to date right away I realized she was an emotional nut; she wanted to get married right away; one weekend she was bored and bought a yacht. she was worth over 20 million dollars.
I dont need family money to make me happy; love is what it's about. | |
|
| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/9/2009 2:44:05 PM | I think a better question would be: Would you marry a poor man/woman?
Although I'm fairly certain I know the qualifications and politically correct answers to this question that both men and women will have. | |
|
| would you marry for money? Posted: 5/9/2009 3:31:05 PM | No, I wouldn't.
I would marry for love, chemistry, respect, values, and a good ability to manage life in all of it's different challenges. | |
