[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marrying well for men is 100% defined by looks. [/quote]

Agree. Men care more about looks and also as someone else mentioned, temperament/agreeableness. [/quote]

Men mature as they age. When they are younger, looks are everything. As they get older and have dated some hot duds, they want more than looks. DH’s first wife was gorgeous and much prettier than me. I’m 40lbs heavier and do not dress well. But she never wanted to have sex and became aloof to him throughout their marriage. DH makes much more money now and he married me. He could get a much prettier, younger woman.  But we get along great and he tells me he’s happier than he’s ever been.

You’re just young. Give it some time or look for men a little bit older. [/quote]

I guess men could look for women who are “gorgeous and much prettier” “agreeable” and “like to have sex”.  How much money DW makes is secondary.. [/quote]

This is true, but it’s also stupid, and many men come to regret it. [/quote]

Regret not marrying a woman for her money? I make my own money. I don’t regret anything.[/quote]

Men who find themselves crushed under the stress of being a primary breadwinner regret not prioritizing a true partnership. I have no idea what you do or don’t regret. [/quote]

Who wants to marry a weakling who gets crushed under the stress of being a primary breadwinner?  This is the most unmanly thing ever.  Maybe there is a successful pairing between 40lbs heavier women who are happy to be the second wife of a man who cannot take the "stress" of earning for the family. I don't know. I do think our opinions are influenced by our life experience.

IME - high earning men (actually all men)  want to be married to good looking woman, well educated woman, who has a good personality, who is easy to get along with and who likes having sex with them - it does not matter if they are working or not. However, once you get divorced and are older,  people will compromise a lot in their second marriage. Divorce rates for second marriages are higher than the divorce rates for the first marriage.
