[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I have girlfriends who literally seem to have married men who are too good to be true. Handsome. Super successful. Wealthy. With great personalities who treat their wives so well. These women are so so happy and thankful. They got really really lucky!

I also know other women who didn’t get lucky at all. Some who are perpetually single and others who very obviously settled for good enough men so they wouldn’t be alone. [b]Why no love for these women[/b]? [/quote]

Who says there is no love for them?  Love isn’t the exclusive domian of the super wealthy and beautiful.

It’s all in the numbers.  There are only so many rich men and even fewer who are rich and handsome.  And billions of women who would want them.  So unless you want to take the chance of spending your entire life single, pining away at what you have an extremely low chance of getting simply because of its rarity, and in most cases a lack of proximity to, most women sensibly choose someone compatible who they are in proximity to.  And the same is true for men whose desire is a rich model-quality beauty.

And beauty and wealth doesn’t guarantee that a marriage will last forever in perpetual romantic bliss.  It actually seems to increase the risk that a marriage will fail.  Look at all the rich and beautiful in Hollywood — their marriages all crumble quickly.  Angelina and Brad are divorcing.  Jennifer Anniston and Jennifer Lopez have had the worst luck staying married.  The most beautiful actresses get cheated on.  There will always be younger, beautiful, starry-eyed women willing to throw themselves at a rich man, while age and familiarity (which breeds contempt) work against you.

You can spend a lot of time railing away at the unfairness of it all, OP, but there are better ways to spend your life.
