[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I judge them on their merits. If their only merit is having a successful husband then I don’t hold them in high regard. [/quote]

Ability to find and keep a successful partner (man or woman) is as impressive as ability to find and keep a successful career. Not everyone has judgement and drive to find and maintain good relationships.[/quote]

But what do you mean by "successful"? If you mean a mature adult who is gainfully employed, demonstrates emotional maturity, is financially stable and a good partner and parent, I agree. You need to have those qualities to attract someone with those qualities.

But this thread is about social status ONLY, as defined by wealth, family reputation, and professional prestige. A person can have all that and be immature, lazy, a terrible parent and a bad partner. Likewise, a person can have none of these things but be successful in the way I described in the previous paragraph.

Marrying and staying married to a rich guy, or a guy from a rich family, or a guy with an impressive title, is not really an accomplishment. It usually means you were born with certain assets (looks or money or both) that a man with those qualities would find appealing. It's only an accomplishment if the man is also a good man, in which case the accomplishment is not his wealth but his goodness.[/quote]
