Soros to marry for third time with three-day New York celebration

[Pekelo]

Quote from smallStops:

Regarding Soros : it did not occur to me his fiancee is actually Japanese.

Speaking of billionaires and Asian women:

"On 25 June 1999, 17 days after divorcing his second wife, Murdoch, then aged 68, married Chinese-born Deng Wendi. She was 30....

...On 13 June 2013, a News Corporation spokesperson confirmed that Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce from Deng in New York City, U.S"

By the time of the divorce Murdoch is 82 and Wendi is 43, pretty much the same ages as the Soros couple...

If Soros lives to age 100, perhaps we can expect 1 more divorce, then a marriage ... to his nurse.

Yes indeed, I have been watching an horror film !
Just shows how the mind works.

Regarding Soros : it did not occur to me his fiancee is actually Japanese. . From the little I know about their culture, they actually have deep respect and love for older people. But, then I am assuming they will not be moving permanently to a traditional Japanese village, so IF she is so inclined, she might pick up some bad mentalities.

Anyway, let wish them felicitation for " both having met the love of their lives in each other, and obviously for the great coming example of a very happy marriage till death do them part. "

Smallstops, marriage is not much about love, even less the "love of your life", and this does apply to much younger folks as well.

I have seen many parents ( own family and peers's families) getting married for the "wrong reasons" ( wrong reasons also include visa lol) . The consequences of getting this side wrong usually show up within 20 years and of course on the kids ( many of my peers). Not just divorces and money issues , but also young rich and useless kids ( aka burning the whole family' fortune, to full-time drug addict transferring some serious money to "parasite industries" - hookers and coke..., and many more serious vices).
The very few who fought teeth and nails to follow some basic sane principles , for some reasons are still very happily married to the same person they themselves say were the love of their lives. What I find most interesting is showing by example some basic healthy principles kind of insulated their children ( some of my peers) to have fruictful lives.
I have made the choice , after a false start, to follow the group who for some reasons had the courage and strength to follow basic principles - one of them being getting married for the right reason - aka to the love of their lives and not for "temporary" convenience or "release".
I guess having been a kid, with many of my very well off peers, who saw the full consequences of having parents marrying for the "wrong reasons" got me to think a bit more about these subjects. Experience is a great teacher.
Just a question : do you really fancy having full-time drug addicts children who are emotionally damaged by your spousal choice? and of course these children burning away the fortune you hopefully can build? Also, I guess you know of cases of privately educated "females" into "escorting". When digging deeper, it often turns out that the mother was kind of in the "industry" as well before securing a "good party". One passes many more things than just some chromosomes.

Oh yeah, come back with statistics of young drug addicts, sure you will find more kids of pragmatic well off parents than kids of broke parents who married too young within their class - possibly for what they called love. Sure uh ?!?

Are broken families and divorced parents more common among families where the father is well off or among poor families ?

FWIW I wouldn't have married with someone from a poorer background than me, but you can be sure she wouldn't have married either if I was struggling financially. I'm not sure how you interpreted what I said before but love is fleeting (and new girls exciting), if existing at all.

Than the day I get older than Soros' bride (not there yet), if I marry again and with a girl 30y younger, yes, I will be less regarding about our respective social situation - but prolly not blind eirther, with most girls it sure looks like a better deal to rent.

Yes lust is a very fleeting thing.
Sorry you married for one wrong reason - lust in your case and may be also ego.
Obviously based on lust, I can understand why you will need to go down the aisle many many many times.

I can hardly believe how thick you are, I prolly wouldn't have married a dying starfish but obviously (from what I wrote it should be) I didn't marry for lust as getting laid is not exactly a difficult thing to do, especially if one is not short on cash.

Good luck raising your kids and trading but I hope you're a bit sharper in real life.

Not kids as yet
Each things in their time.

Good luck too for how your kids turn out in 20-30 years time.

For most of human existence, marriages were arranged.
Marrying "for love" is a relatively new concept in modern civilization with the rise of living standards, the middle class, women's rights, and democracy in general.
In ancient China, the emperor took on thousands of concubines, most leading lonely lives.

Indians continue to have arranged marriage, parents check wether the stars (or whathever exact superstition they use ) match, but also that their physical stature and socio professional stature match. I know quite a few indian couples, in Asia and Europe and the rate of failure seem to be (much) lower than that of non arranged marriages among non indians. Culture pressure to stay together prolly play a part but it seems largely that the arrangements were smart from the beginning, smarter than getting married out of alledged and fleeting love (which is often a big part of lust).
