Rich Girls

Do you think a GUY would be more likely to stay with a girl if she came from a rich family? I don't just mean a family that was frugal and saved their way to comfort, I'm talking ridiculously wealthy. Does this make it easier to gloss over the aspects of the relationship that could be problematic, like, stuff you might normally break up with a girl over but you??re willing to suck it up now?

I remember reading something about how the #1 reason couples fight is money so I assume this would take a burden off of everyones shoulders right?

How sad, Ewe ... I hope like hell you aren't considering this.


If you buy a man, then you sell your soul.

I was thinking that if some women prefer a man with money, I??d assume that there are men that would prefer women with money as well. I can hypothesize the reasons why but I guess I would assume that this occurs less. Mike said something about the men being a plaything of the family and that's what I had in mind but was unsure how to communicate. I think that even the most progressive men still have the bread winner of the family role that they would like to uphold

Ewe ..... my first husband came from extreme poverty, so poor that they didn't have running water and washed dishes/bathed in a stream, he told me stories about his mother picking wild onions and grass and boiling it to feed her 6 children. My family is quite wealthy, and it was common for us to dine on steak/lobster.


It never dawned on me whether money is what attracted him to me, though now I will think about it ....... good thing I think he's an asshole as a husband, or it might be too hurtful to ponder. In hindsight, I do remember him saying things when angered, in regards to my father, and me being a rich bitch.


But, I can tell you, if this was his attraction, this $ $ $ .... it didn't hold us together, it didn't supercede how much we grew to hate each other.


thank goodness we no longer hate each other, and be friends 😄

My feelings exactly, and the same applies the other way around. I'm strongly against materialism.

*sigh* I value so many material things. I could stare at beautiful architecture for hours and I'm a sucker for beautiful paintings. I also don't think I??d survive without books either 😉

Oh what a topic! I've witnessed this one first hand. In fact I was the one that got LEFT for a "rich girl". So excuse my bitterness here.
I feel sorry for people who marry for money. It's so sad. Material things mean more then happiness?!?! I can't even comprehend that. It doesn't register as to how someone thinks having money means more then being with the person they love. What weak and pathetic people. Yuck!!!!!!

In my case at least I figured out the mystery of where my Virgo dissappeared to. For someone who was wary of getting married (again) and a self proclaimed "complicated" guy he sure flew down the isle with some rich (mega rich) Cali girl. Her Daddy is a military big wig and I'm guessing Virgo thought he could further his career through her father....... oh!! and the added bonus of alot of money.
Blah... this topic really hit home. 😢

Whenever I'm feeling brokenhearted (which is increasingly often lately) I start shouting about how I'm going to marry for money and don't believe in love. It's all bullshit. I say it out of frustration and because I think a commitment without emotions would be easier. In some ways, it would, but it would also be hollow and pointless.

I would not let any person's finanacial circumstances sway whether or not I liked them. Love, above all, is what people need.

Well you normally hear about women staying for the money & using their satisfaction with their man's money as an escape & a way to ignore all the things they usually wouldn't tolerate. And I'm sure it's the same for men, BUT I think b/c men are bred to believe that THEY should be the primary bread-winners I think it takes a man who's not big on this concept to be the one who'd stay with a girl from a rich family.

If a man was rich himself then it's understandable & common as to why he'd pick a partner who's rich too. The chances of him getting used or with for the wrong reasons would be alot lower (which is why alot of Celebrities date other celebrities). The similarities in both their drive, financial importance & status could/would easily drive a man to stay with a woman.

BUT, if a man isn't rich at all & hit the jackpot by finding a rich woman, I think he would never be content, assuming he was raised to believe that men should be the primary money-makers. But hey society is different now. Alot of men these days don't believe in paying for his woman anymore or have a problem with their wives sitting at home while they go out & work. If a man didn't have a problem or buy into the tradition that men should be the ones to make the most money then I think it's very common for a man to purposely stay with a woman b/c of her richness the same way men stay & put up with things b/c the woman is gorgeous

"at least your guy was ATTEMPTING to 'UPGRADE'! u can't hate on him 4 tryin LOL"

Are you serious? He "upgraded" because I don't have a rich family and a influencial father? Um..... gee salt in the wounds Tasha.

LOL it's ok Tasha. I have thick skin. I'm over it now and I'm happy in my relationship. I "upgraded" to someone who will love me for me and not for how much junk I can buy him 🙂 The topic caught my eye cuz I've been there. Heck I've been having weird mood swing lately so.... I tend to post when I shouldn't and in this situation.... I shouldn't have.
It's really ok. LOL Thank you for explaining though. I appriciate it 🙂

I wouldn't do it.
I like someone to be on the same wavelength as me.

zia zia said always merry for love the love of money.

no i dont think so...i think a man would rather be with someone they can take care of...rich girls are too spoiled


If money takes care of everything then what does he have to work for to make you happy?

Uhhh I'm from Manhattan...and there are many people here that couldn't survive without books either. LITERALLY. They CAN NOT survive without books, beautiful architecture, or "beautiful paintings". Why? You may ask. Well, because it's a living. You are dead on. Over here, in New York City at least, the POOR can not survive without these things. The rich find these things to be merely a commodity, luxury and quite frankly a waste of time. They rather go sky diving, shooting at a range, use the new in-home golf stimulator, travel to other countries and make more money, than staying home and reading "Sense and Sensibility". Remember Barack Obama did not come from wealth, but George Bush sure did. I'm not suggesting that all rich people are like this, just that this "cultured" stereotype is way too outdated in an era in which culture is the pizzaz the poor need to dance circles around, and inevitably woo, the rich to their favor. Your answer is clear. No, a man will not want you for your money, it is most probable that they will just want your money. Furthermore, they will then take half, cheat on you and eventually leave you for their mistress or plainly speaking, their secretary (who makes $ 7.25 an hour ). No offense, but to stay true to the big apple "that's society for ya".

Well, it would make a guy think twice before leaving if the guy was rich but it will also make it more likely that the guy would do things behind the girls back too.

My dad told me, when I was little, to never ever let a guy know how much you really have as far as money is concerned.

Never.

Rich Gril poor Gril, Rich woman poor woman who cares its al about getting it together if she is a bitch bump her if you get along with her then shes a keeper. The real fun starts when the faimely gets involved.

you only loose if you give a fuck. I don't I take no shit if they start dishing it out. Let them know right off that you could careless what they think.

An after thought I once was told by an old upper crust dud that he knew I was after his daughters money I let him know right off all I was doing was fucking her for awhile. This went over big.

that is why you never get that involved

when they start talking about being in love time to make like the sheep hearder and get the flock out.

lol don't get your panties in a bunch! I'm perfectly fine being poor for appreciating beauty in all its forms. If being —cultured?? means I'm able to value something beyond myself and forming relationships then sign me up! Some wealthy people probably do take many things for granted because they??ve been surrounded by luxury their whole life and don't know the difference. It takes a certain person (wealthy or poor) to appreciate passion and find value in something that is totally beyond themselves. —The poor?? aren't trying to woo anybody by showing an interest in something that rich people merely take for granted, they just find it easier to be aware of life instead of blindly sashaying forward.

So a girl's got money. Big deal, can she do other things outside of spending it? That's my take anyway.

sure, i think it could attract a man at first but it won't hold them together. my ex thought that he would be happier with a wealthy woman... in the end he confessed that i was a pretty kick ass girlfriend. oh well!

I recommend movie "Match Point" by Woody Allen. If gives the answer to your question. In my opinion, it shows the way how majority of people would behaved in this particular scenario.
