[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you live in DC, OP? The DMV is a materialistic, status-obsessed, area. Out in "flyover" country, people tend to be a bit less gross about this stuff.[/quote]

We used to live there for a long time. We loved many things about the DMV but did get tired of that part of the culture and left for a combination of reasons. This behavior exists in flyover country too, though, yes, many people are less materialistic. But I see lots of it still. Sometimes I think it’s worse because unlike the Coasts, it is tougher for women to gain status and upper middle class income without marrying to it. It is more unequal and usually comes with the price of having to go along with your husband. Wealthy guys are pretty aware of what clout money gives them.

Not sure why I’m being called names because I didn’t want to be arm candy, spend years listening to an arrogant jerk, or be bored to death. I had my own priorities like anyone else. I just wonder why money supersedes other important qualities when many women make their choice. It sounds like misery to do that.

Congrats to the woman who got the whole package. Good for you!

I agree with the woman from the Middle East. I can make my own money. I can be independent. That is what is great about our country. And like she said we can add a suitable man to that if we want. We are not goods to be levied in a business transaction. I see people talk about how to split “his” money and “her” money. Where is the marriage in that?[/quote]
