[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is with the repeated threads in recent months about meeting and marrying wealthy people? [b]Do that many of the posters on this site crave wealth and use it as a yardstick for measuring dates? Do people just hope to stop working as soon as possible in their lives and live off what a spouse brings to the marriage? How transactional and mercenary. Yeah, I'm judging and I own the fact I'm judging. It just screams "I want to be 'kept.'"[/b] And no amount of excuses like "But! I only desire for our kids to want for nothing!" or[b] "I fear being poor because I was raised poor"[/b] or other supposed "reasons" could stop this thinking from being mercenary. [/quote]

The bolded is your answers.

Also, it's a sign of the times. The growing divide between the haves and the have nots are forcing people (particularly) women to be strategic in who they marry and procreate with. Wealth begets wealth.

Also,  successful people in the public eye keeping telling the masses "Who you marry is the most important decision you will make".

People have taken that statement and have turned it into a religion. [/quote]

Then these women out to marry rich men had [b]better pray for great pre-nups. [/b]They should read all the cheating posts, then all the divorce posts, on DCUM, and act accordingly, assuming their rich men will eventually cheat on them and possibly leave. Get pre-nups so you and the spawn will at least get some cash out of daddy when he trots off with his affair partner, or knocks her up and has another kid to pay for.

Cynical? Eh, only about as cynical as getting married so one can be a kept woman. Nice old-fashioned term, "kept woman," and DCUM is bringing the idea back, so we should just start using the term again.[/quote]

They’re probably going to do much better with no pre-nup.  Pre-nups are 95% about protecting the assets of the moneyed spouse, not the reverse.[/quote]
