YET. Wait until they are all in their 50s (and their wives are in their 50s).

Youth is an advantage is he is older and wants children.

This is it in a nutshell. No man wants to be married to an overweight old lady so being fit, young and attractive is really all you need. The flipside is that you may get tossed aside for the younger model when the time comes so either be prepared to tolerate the affairs or ready to spend old age alone (but with money unless you were stupid and signed a prenup).

This is NOT it in a nutshell. Most women I know who are married to wealthy men met them in top grad schools. Law school, MBA, etc. Then husband's career took off. These wives, for the most part, left their high powered careers to stay home with kids. I know about 10 women like this. Successful Ivy League men do not want bimbo models. They want to marry peers who happen to be fit and beautiful too.

If the man is really rich, couldn't you just a hire a cook or eat out or get take out all the time? Why would the woman need to know how to cook?

I don't think you need to be that educated, either. A lot of rich men just want eye candy. So basically, look like a model and don't age. If you do, make sure you are able to get a lot in the divorce settlement once your DH leaves you for a younger version.

I met mine in college. His family was UMC and he was headed to law school. Everything has gone more or less according to plan. We are mid 30's now - married right out of school. I only worked the 3 law school years and then had our first baby.

A rich man who marries for looks and cuteness will replace you when you get old and is likely to be an emotional distant jerk who will constantly hound you for gaining weight and will always be looking at other women. Better to become successful yourself and find a mature rich man who is an equal to you rather than a trophy seeker.

Good looks definitely help. The best place to meet people is at work. But not if you are working at McDonalds. Which means, you ladies would have to bring something to the table too.

It probably won't turn out the way you want - but live and learn.
