| Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?[closed]
Posted: 1/11/2006 11:55:51 AM | | You don't love them, you don't even like them much, you don't even like the sex, and frankly you find them insufferable. But they are rich and can provide you with all the money and possesions you could want. They want to marry you, would you do it ? Be Honest ! | |

Posted: 1/11/2006 12:03:03 PM | Oh Hell NO! Now if they wanted to adopt me .....
And 7 - the question is 'Would YOU marry someone just because they are rich?" If you were marrying a rich woman why would you push for a pre-nup? | |

Posted: 1/11/2006 12:06:57 PM | | No, I wouldn't.....and I haven't. Have met two extremely rich gentlemen, one was willing to relocate for me. I dated him for a few months, but I knew he just wasn't for me. You can't just be with someone for the money, you're only going to end up cheating on them. | |

Most people could be persuaded, sure. | |

Posted: 1/11/2006 12:37:47 PM | The other thing that just occurred to me is that the answers you get on this question are somewhat flawed in response simply because of the channel you are getting them through.
People online talking/communicating for whatever reason is not the population that is most sensitive to get a postive "HELL YA" answer from.
The people that would respond honestly on it ..well..you know..they have the goods/qualities/connections and time to hunt it up, and land them.
They are not online. They don't have to be or have the time to be.
I would also venture to say that people that have had this offer and have had to look deeply at themselves and their lives are going to be few and far between on POF. You'll probably hear some stories and most of them will be true - however....
The stratospheric set of big stakes isn't electronic in nature if you can appreciate that.
And isn't there some truth to:
No matter how much you've got, there's always someone with more than you?
One more thing:
For lack of a better word, let's use the word: Loaded.
These families, their pressures, expectations, etc. are extremely real factors in their lives. Maybe once every five million years would someone that's "loaded" with generational funding etc., would ever consider marrying a "commoner". The reason for this is the loss of status which has been built over time and space, and they aren't going to just go throw that out for someone who's not educated, involved, connected, etc.
Families make alliances, everyone knows that. In that arena of social class, people ALWAYS marry for money and protection of the lineage and not for love - rarely ever is there a LOVE match. It's all about the combination of power and influence.
Statistically speaking, looking up the GNP etc., of a nation will tell you or give you an idea of how much wealth there is to be had. The US has an indecent amount of wealth they waste.
Also think about this...
You run across someone who's severely "loaded". Let's say this is up to a second generation of wealth. The wealthy GET wealthy because of many factors, and one of those that shine like a diamond in the mud is that they do NOT spend it.
So, in that regard, marrying for money is pretty damn funny. You might show it on paper, but you are going to be eating tomato soup and wearing the same Levi jeans for the next five years.
They tend also to be extremely quiet about it, non-issued about it, and you aren't going to find out about the money until after some really tight emotional connections are made.
New money - (yep, it's a term, real and very accurate) - individuals are usually debt-ridden, ostantious about it and sneered and ridiculed with lots of eye rolling and giggling by experienced wealth builders.
I do suppose that the OP see's a lot of this type of thing anyway, and it's nothing more than a train wreck waiting to happen at the end of the day. It's a hazard of your profession hmm? | |

I actually have to like the guy!!
I dated a wealthy guy once...well, he claimed to be wealthy anyway. He was always talking about his cars, his boat, his ... stuff...it was a total turn off. | |

Posted: 1/11/2006 12:47:50 PM | | I slightly disagree. It's very easy to be pure and moralizing in a sanitized and objective forum such as this. I think, that a lot of people, expecially women, if REALY faced with the choice, in real life, would do it in a hartbeat and not look back. I suffer the same insecurities as every man on earth does. I think I'm about $ 100,000 a year short of being damn good looking ! I want honesty . | |
