When older unattractive (wealthy) men marry

[Anonymous]

Man here. I have friends who are successful single businessmen and they do this "sugar dating" thing.. A dating website but where it's clear a payment (monthly allowance I guess) would be involved. One of my friends does it a lot. He said from talking to the women, that it's pretty common among college-aged women and women in their 20's just starting out on their first job. I guess they want to live a certain lifestyle by can't afford it without financial support, and are happy to be a "girlfriend" in return. I think this is really changing the dynamics of young people dating. Glad that wasn't around as widely when I was in my 20s, as I couldn't have competed!

Remember when someone asked her if she would have married Trump if he had no money?

She responded that would Trump have married her if she was not beautiful?

Well played.

Kathy Hilton is the perfect example of a “Trophy Wife.”

Had Rick Hilton worked as a janitor at the Hilton Hotel, Kathy never would have invested one solid date with the guy.

There is another thread on here about a husband who has not worked in a few years, most responses were to dump him with the quickness.

So there's a continuum from marrying an older rich guy to requiring your husband to at least have a job that could support a family. But the difference seems to be in degree, not kind.

I don’t agree. I think there is a difference between wanting the person to bring similar things that you bring to the relationship aka equal versus a trade/compromise or boxing. If an attractive person wanted to be with someone equally attractive or an employed person wants to be with someone equally employed no one bats an eye. Also, if it’s the thread I remember, most women said the guy had to be hard working and/or ambitious, and not a spend thrift, not that he had to make a specific amount. IRL a know a couple that met in high school at a job. They both went on to college and started a business together - doing quite well now but they met when they both made very little.

Meant to say boxing above your weight.

If I was old and rich, I'd be fine with a much younger, sexy woman marrying me for my money. As long as I get what I want out of the deal and we have a pre-nup.

Well you aren't a genius that's for sure. The younger, sexy woman who wants to marry you for your money isn't going to think a pre-nup is a great return on her "investment."

All the guys from Full House ( Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and John Stamos) are all currently married to women about the same ages as the actresses who played their daughters/ nieces on the series.

Think about that- Uncle Jesse is married to a woman the same age as the Olsen twins.

Why? Easy answer is cause they can. But it’s funny when you watch the reruns and think that after Uncle Jesse divorced Aunt Becky he remarried one of Michelle’s friends.

Some of you are really underestimating how emotionally attractive a powerful person can be to a female. I say “person” because girls/women also tend to kiss the evil queen bee’s ass.

Ps: I’m obviously generalizing.

-Female, not into older guys.

Me again. I should have said “not into RICH older guys”.

Seriously. If you need a pre-nup then by definition you are NOT "fine with it".

But why should the women care if the husband makes a similar amount as she does? She has an income/salary/income potential requirement, it's just not as high as someone trying to marry rich.
Even the women marrying the older rich guy is not marrying solely for money. If they guy was abusive, a total jerk, etc. she probably would not marry him. The fact that he has money means she may be willing to compromise on other things (e.g. age, looks, etc.).

In short, she married him for his money.

Many women marry “for potential” and when the guy flames out in his early 40’s they move on looking for an older guy with real money.
