I don't know many with sugar baby trophy wives.


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


But the younger wives are educated, successful women. Just younger.

Honestly, snag him (or her) when he (or she) is your classmate in college, or preferably, graduate school. Invest your dating time and efforts in potential, and then help your significant other to develop their full potential and succeed, while they do the same for you. Though it is, of course, acceptable for one of you to take a backseat to the other's (husband's or wife's) career, so long as you are both personally fine with that decision.

Educated men tend to marry later now. They are more comfortable in their own skins and have a more complete idea of the qualities they are looking for in a life partner (i.e., being hot isn't everything).

As some poster have noted, 50 is the magic number. When the guys, or their wives, hit 50 they have their mid-life crisis and feel that they deserve a hot and fun new model.

I should also add that I'm talking about wealthy -- not comfortable but wealthy.

I actually think there's probably a sweet spot -- a level of financial comfort that makes for an easy life but doesn't cause problems in a marriage. But once men reach a certain level of wealth and/or power, something happens. They either cheat or they look for trophy wives. I'm sure there are outliers. But in general, that is what seems to happen.


I agree with this. I am in the comfortable spot 600k, 4.5m net worth but not wealthy and this is largely my social circle- here marriages tend to be of intellectual equals and stable.

I know 3 couples where the net worth is in the 50 - 100m range. 2 of those have had affairs (on both sides). No clue about the third.


We are comfortable-ish, but not quite in your league and see the same thing. Stable marriages of intellectual equals -- even if the wife is at home, it's likely that the couple met when they had equal standing in the workplace.

I know several couples in the big leagues. The ones who came from already-rich, or at least solidly UMC families seem to be a lot more stable than the ones where there has been a dramatic and rapid change in circumstances. Definitely a lot of affairs, on both sides. A lot of inappropriate second marriages, a lot of fucked up kids.

"Snagging" a rich man can mean a whole lot of things. If you're looking for a good, solid relationship, I don't recommend intentionally going the trophy route.

It's a little over rated especially as you get older. Now that kids are grown, seeing a fair number of divorces and there are a staggering number of high functioning ((and not so high functioning) alcoholics in this demo.

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.


You people are so out of touch. You think DC is the shit and everything else pales by comparison. $500,000 is hardly the most expensive house in town in the Hagerstown area.

My comments were 100% dead serious.

I have a lot of cash, I'm in my early 40's. I want a hot 25-35 year old woman who is fit/toned, tanned, preferably a nice set of tits (fake is ideal), if not fake, I will pay for the surgery). She needs to look gorgeous in a dress/business suit and be able to carry a conversation with a group of people, someone I'm proud to take to events and can handle their wine. However, she needs to be kinky and playful back when we're home, and aggressive in bed, wanting it all.

I can even go as far as listing out ideal measurements if necessary. If I could truly go online to a reputable site and submit my requirements to get a list of results back and "order" this person, I would be VERY happy.


Make sure you make it clear, like you do here, that you're a complete asshole and your wife will work for every penny you give her.


Hahaha seriously. I am 25 and fairly certain I fit every description. Nothing on earth could compel me to sign on for life with such a loser. I suspect other women feel the same which is why this sad little dude is still single and "looking"


I'm single by choice, I casually date the ones that fit this description and enjoy every minute of it - as do they. You sound confident and attractive, I'm more than happy to meet you for dinner.


Hahaha you are so creepy. Not on your fucking life, dude.




Damn. Shot down like an animal!

Why do women even put up with men?


I'm the PP. I think maybe my posts sound too dark and cynical. I don't think all men are cheaters or bad. I just think that wealth and power (especially in the extreme) have a corrupting influence, even on otherwise good people. I think (and I've seen from various experiences) that you combine the wealth and power with aging, and that's kind of the recipe that leads to the mistress/trophy wife stuff. I think women can also be corrupted by power and wealth and have their own aging/mortality panic-related behavior. It just takes a different form.

And again, these are generalizations. There are exceptions. I'm painting with broad strokes because this is just a casual thread on an anonymous forum.

I am not a particularly religious person, but one thing I do think is profound is the statement "it's nearly impossible for a rich man to get into heaven." I don't think that means that wealth is bad, but it means that wealth -- extreme wealth -- does weird things to people.

That was my point about the sweet spot. (and I think that goes for a lot of things -- not just marriages.) I think that too little money can cause problems because there is always financial strain. But too much can also cause problems. I honestly believe that there is a sweet spot that is just enough so that the constant worry/tension of money doesn't tear you apart but not so much that it corrupts you or gives you a sense of elitism/entitlement.

Pretty early on in my adult life, I worked around some wealthy people. And I saw a little bit of the mentality that seems to go along with that. That's a big part of what has informed my ideas above. I see some of it now, but I should have been clearer above when I said I work around it -- I'm drawing not just from current experience, but past as well.
