This thread is so funny and full of double standards. Of course, that assumes the posts are truthful which many are probably not.

I recommend people look for what I ended up getting: amiability, generosity, intelligence, devotion, competence, health/strength/athleticism, attractiveness, strong friendships, good judgment, and an inclination to just go ahead and do things that need doing. I knew a good one when I saw him, lol.

People with these traits don't tend to end up poor, anyway.

I tend to date university professors


With all of your intellectual prowess wouldn’t you have realized by now that rural /= ignorant? Henry David Thoreau had every opportunity to be a socialite but chose to be a “rural dude”.

I’m similar. I doubt I’d ever remarry - no desire to be a household manager/nursemaid to some old guy just to be “married.” I have a high earning DH now and while he is a “nice” person he is completely useless wrt to managing the household and children despite being highly effective at work. He can’t (or refuses to) remember basic facts about our children’s lives/schedules/preferences and when reminded of basic facts he does this enraging fake act where he acts like he has never heard this information before in his life. Or acts like “how on earth could I possibly be expected to know what time sports practice ends??!”

The added bonus is that he is my older brother best friend since college because they were on the same team. I am the one that won the lifetime lottery, not him. If things do not work out between us, which I hope not, he will have no problem finding another trust fund woman.

I already have money, I do not need more money to make me happy.


Can you share what attracted you to him, and why he’s a great husband/person?

Because she never had to worry about money (and neither will her kids and likely grandkids) she prioritized finding someone who made her happy and that could handle some of the things that came with her life (fundraisers, events, snobby people)

She married a teacher. They have been happily married for almost 20 years.


I think we may have the same friend-

I'm not married but I de-facto live this life while dating. One "nice guy" for public appearances and periodic sex. Many hot guys for my real physical needs. So kind of simile to what wealthy men do.

It depends on what stage of life the woman is. If she wants kids or just satisfaction from life in her 40-50s.


Do you practice one-way monogamy with the nice guy/boyfriend, or is he allowed to date/sleep around?


Does the nice guy know he doesn't meet your real physical needs? What do you get from him besides public appearances?

A good man worth having does not care how much money a woman makes. He knows that her money will never be his money. Her money is her money, his money is their money.


Sooo. You aren’t a woman or wealthy? Thanks for weighing in on something you know nothing about. Surprise, surprise.

You sound like you’re a blast at parties.


I think I have found one of these. Even stranger, he was in the military special forces - not where you’d expect to find a guy like this. He still believes men are typically more suited to carry the heavy equipment, which I find hard to argue with - but he in no way thinks that makes them the stronger sex.

There are men who think his money is his money and her money is also his money.
