Marrying for money

Quote from nutmeg:

I fixed this pronto. I told her I am taking her to ny to the diamond district and she can pick out a ring (my price limit) then I'm going to take her to the bridge in that picture of central park and give her the ring & tell her I love her. We did this. This is now a very special picture for the both of us.

Wow, that's just weak.


Quote from Passive Pete:

I smell those girls all over Manhattan. Most of the traders and ibankers I associate with use them for what they are worth.

Yeah, but those girls use those guys for all they are worth. These guys only help perpetuate this mentality. Their only concept of their self worth is the paycheck & their corporate job. Also helps explain such over the top consumerism and lack of fiscal responsibility in today's society.
This scene goes on every evening on 2nd ave in midtown. I call it "Blue Shirt Special".
 
Quote from JimyJam:

Nope.

Love is very, very real.

It can open any number of different chakras, and take you to places and teach you things that you would have never have known before.

Ok we'll leave the chemical explanation on the physical plane and deal with the spiritual implications of my statement

Romantic love is a projection of your own true (higher) self onto the vehicle of your partner, which of course has zero chance of living up to that archetypal ideal, hence the relatively short shelf life of romantic love

It's god's little joke on the world that we never fall in love with anyone but ourselves

It just doesn't last forever ... for several years maybe, yeah.

But the rest is societal conditioning (which you must admit, plays a huge part in the whole marriage drama).

I agree with the first part.

however...true love does last forever. it may change but if its real it knocks you on you butt at first and never fades.

it can't be explained only experienced.

is this why gays are so sad and the exact opposite of the term in general?
 
This is an entertaining thread. There were a couple of posters that live or lived in Scottsdale. Since I also live in Scottsdale (North Scottsdale - DC Ranch), I thought I'd chime in. I've been married 13 years. I am 53. My wife is 54. So both or our looks are fading (mine is faded past tense) Very happily married. We love each other. Would never want to lose her. I am American. She is Chilean. Gotta tell you, that has something to do with it (Her being from a different culture).

But not being blind I see all these beautiful trophy wives all the time. I mean it's obvious that the attraction had to at least have money factored in their decision. When I was growing up in Cleveland, there wasn't the per capita of knock out babes. And the ones there were usually hooked up with very good looking guys. Here in Scottsdale and having a trophy wife doesn't have that much to do with a guys looks. Some average looking and older guys have some super nice looking women.

But, I had no idea it was such an agenda with some of these girls or they were East European with limited options. Obviously at my age and my good marriage, don't pay much attention to these goings on. But, I can't help to notice the good looking babes. Didn't know it could be so cutthroat. Oh well back to my simple life and my happy wife.
 
Well if you had a lot of money, that would do it. But, since you are asking for a rich wife, that doesn't apply to you.

If you were extremely good looking the knock out babes would be all over you, rich or not. The rich ones may just want to rent you, use you and dump you.

Or if you have persistent charming manner (pick up artist), then maybe you can get one then.

So, the above apparently doesn't apply to you as it doesn't apply to most of us.

Sorry pal, if you want to be rich you are going to have to work for it. Forget about a woman with money. If you focus on that, you'll end up being miserable.

you are very wrong about love and its permutations.

Excuse me, but the title of the thread is: Marrying for money

I always wanted to publish a porn magazine titled: Fuck Love

For a successfull marriage even RESPECT comes before love...The point here is that love is overrated. By the time you eventually get married you should have been IN LOVE 3-4 times. The question is, why didn't you marry those other 3???
