I don't want to be lonely, in a relationship or out of one. Being alone has its benefits which far out weigh the benefits of being married to a millionair who you have no attraction to.
I ask you a question if you....marry the guy for his money...go on a trip...plane crashes...you both survive...and you are stuck on a deserted island for the rest of your life....will you then be happy you married him?
That is the guy I want to be with....the one that I could get stuck on an island with and never be happier. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 5:41:40 AM | I dunno about anybody else, but I'm willing to start a bidding war for my hand.
Opening bid : $750,000 Canadian. (American dollar is dropping too fast; I want something stable.  ) | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 5:55:56 AM | | I know I may get ripped for this but for me the answer is NO I WILL NOT MARRY FOR MONEY and the reason is because it's not my money and I had know help in making that money. | |

This seems fairly dubious to me. You're cute, but you're used goods.
Your hand hmm? Judging from what I know of you, your hand has been used a lot.
Considering the wear and tear, the opening bid might be a titch high. Some might even say excessive. | |

This question is assured to trigger a lot of honest responses....right!!!
So lets answer this question from the other side of this equation. Let me assure you POFers that personality and looks improve dramatically in line with percieved wealth!! | |

Is it the raw rookie or the seasoned veteran who commands the high salary? In this day of free agency, I suspect that one must keep up with current market conditions. Methinks instead of an auctioneer, I might need a contract agent. (Aside: cute? I'm downright handsome!)
Any qualified parties willing to guide and/or represent me out here?
Thanks, Margo! You've been an inspiration, as always. I think until I receive some advice from my new agent and arrange proper insurance, I'd best keep my hands to myself.
This, however,
the opening bid might be a titch high. Some might even say excessive. , seems beneath you. However, I will trust the bidding process to be a little more mature than that and not to be swayed by such blatant attempts to devalue the product before any bid is received. Really, Margo, I expected better.

I can always use an extra hand for cleaning my windows: I offer 0.75$!
Nah! am kidding, am offering 7.50$ but the hand sleep outside the house.

No.
I've had the opportunity (more than once) .. now IF a career opportunity came up that had big dollars attached to it - Yes I would! Jobs/Careers don't require any sort of connectedness beyond getting the job done.
I believe that people who marry for money - work for every penny and there is no retirment package, no vacation pay .. no 'benefits' .. ok . .no 'lasting' benefits.. AND I also believe that people who 'settle' for coin rather than companionship, love .. and All the 'benefits' of a Good, Solid, Healthy relationship are most likely among the Loneliest .. I would rather be 'lonely' alone than lonely with someone else sleeping next to me ..
If financial wealth was ever my goal - I would be giving away cars (like Oprah!) lol ..
not saying I'd turn a man down just because he had money .. But he would know right upfront that I am not a commodity, I cannot be bought. I kinda like me like this.
ps
commonsens - is that per window or per hour?? ((I need work!)) ;) | |

No they don't. Once an azzhole, always an azzhole. Money isn't going to change that. | |

Posted: 8/9/2009 9:51:03 AM | The bigger question, do they love ME?
Are they a good person?
Do we have the same interests/views on religion/social mores?
If 'yes' to all three, I was 40 and had no other prospects, why not. | |

Posted: 8/9/2009 11:11:41 AM | ..of course I would!
I have tried the "other" side (marry for love/nothing) and it certainly can't be any worse than that.. :) How much are we talking about here anyway??
It better be in the millions..:) | |

Posted: 8/12/2009 6:57:03 PM | I'm on a good track for an upper-middle class lifestyle with just my own income. I don't need anyone else's money. So I'm free to look for other things in a mate, which are ultimately more important to me anyway.
I don't mean to be smug about this. I'm very lucky to have gotten through college, into a good job, etc. | |

Posted: 8/12/2009 10:00:29 PM | Theoretically, let's assume that you predetermine a minimum of a million dollars, just doing that daydreaming what-if game we are in fact playing right here. And then, WHAM! along comes somebody offering to do just that. Or just about that. It's like $892,420 give or take a few hundred. Do you hold out? Do you haggle? Do you reevaluate? Do you do some kind of actuarian deal (42 years life expectancy divided by $892,420 equals something like 20 thou a year plus change per year, 21 years is 40 grand) and make a final decision?
I dunno about everyone else, but I like to think I'd go pretty cheaply. | |

Posted: 8/12/2009 10:05:07 PM | I wouldn't but then I have money so it's not among my top 1o things I need to have at the moment....
? Why all the fuss about money? It really doesn't GET you the things you think you want. Jeepers do you all just think that's a hoax or something?
Money can't buy you love. Ok? The Beatles were NOT yanking your chains.
Now I could offer to buy me some love....think that would work on Rock?
Now Mr. Dirty, you're saying some guy comes along and offers me that to marry me? I've had it happen twice. One guy went so far as to say he simply wanted me to lie naked on a couch and allow him to worship my body with his being....
But then he was an alien. I mean, an attorney, and old. I mean really really really old. And I just couldn't get into the notion of him gumming on my nipples.
Ick. | |

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Not for 10 million, no. But for 11, hell yeah! | |

Posted: 8/12/2009 10:15:55 PM | ^^^^ Is that the same thinking that says: I'm not going to buy a ticket for a $10 million lottery. Instead, I'm going to wait until it's really worth my while, like $11 million.

Posted: 8/12/2009 10:29:36 PM | With my luck, the day I married for money, I'd meet the woman of my dreams the very next day.
Hmmm so does that mean I should answer yes or no? | |

Posted: 8/12/2009 11:02:02 PM | Hell I'd do it for a donut and a pack of smokes! LOL Jk...
My mother once told me that a woman who marries for money earns every penny and I believe that to be true so not likely I would marry for money. | |
