[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Rich man" is such an open-ended term.

You've got the leading small-town lights, the Chamber of Commerce types in a fourth-tier city (think Winchester, Cumberland, Hagerstown, etc.) This could be a well-off doctor, leading lawyer, car dealership owner, etc. These guys will typically make 100-200k, but in areas where 500k gets you the biggest house in town and 150k gets you a solid middle class place such as a rambler that goes for 550k in Vienna or 400k in Greenbriar.

Then you've got the well-off commuters, the folks who can commute from Loudoun or Frederick to a middle area along the I-270 or 267 corridors, but still pull in 200-300k. They'll have a nice house in Baker Park or downtown Leesburg permitting the woman to SAH and raise kids/do her nails.

You've got big city doctors, lawyers, financiers, etc., who're pulling in 400k and more, well enough to live the DCUM Dream life for the most part, but not going to grab headlines.

Then finally you've got the 1%ers among the 1%ers, the folks whose job title includes things such as "Chairman of (company people have heard of)" and who're bringing in 1MM. They are wealthy enough to get pretty much whatever they want.

Each of these will have differing expectations. Someone who's a car dealership owner in Harrisonburg is more likely going to want a woman who's sweet, pretty, and doesn't cause drama. She shouldn't be a complete doofus, but doesn't have to be a leading intellectual light. Likewise, it'll be tolerated if she puts on 20-30 pounds as she enters her 40s and 50s, and it'll be more of a scandal if her husband does decide to step out.

However, the wife of the Chairman of BigCorp is going to want a woman who can impress intellectually -- graduate degrees are needed here. Likewise, it's almost expected that the husband will be stepping out, and the wife needs to stay fit, trim, and smart. [/quote]

This sums it up perfectly.[/quote]

Not PP, but I would change the last part.  Chairman of BigCorp wants a woman who isn't dumb and can be charming and elegant, but he doesn't require graduate degrees.  He'll be fine with a bachelor's from a well-known university -- not Harvard or Yale, but Vanderbilt.  He also prefers blondes -- unless the woman is foreign/exotic (only then is brunette acceptable).
