The old man is not shallow either. He bought her a $500,000 townhouse, $100,000 to decorate it. A $130,000 Mercedes and a $60,000 lexus suv because the Mercedes is too much to drive everyday. Even bought a house for her mom. The guy put everything in her name and even wants to help the mom start a business.

Agree with every word.
That’s why alarm bells would go off if I even caught a whiff of a potential spouse that was marrying me for the money. To those who are together for the $$, that’s A-OK with me as long as it works for them. But that’s not what I want my relationships built upon.

Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Zk, the woman is my friend and she’s always been nice to me. She likes me because I convinced someone to support her in a past endeavor when other people were against her. Anyway, I choose to see her side rather than just reduce her situation to that of a kept woman.
She’s very intelligent and capable. I thInk her intrinsic worth is quite high.[/quote]

Should alarm bells go off when a woman catches a whiff of a potential suitor/spouse wanting her for her beauty? (I would say yes.)
It goes both ways.

That’s hilarious!
Let’s not forget, though, that he would have it no other way. He would not be attracted to the type of girl who would be happy with a simple gold/silver band and a backyard wedding.
The balance thing works!

there is a number that is calculable and is calculated every day by our supercomputer brains which tells us the likelihood of successful reproduction with this other. some brains are better able to calculate contingencies and advanced future planning and needs. no other number ultimately matters. we are genetic calculators and we thereofre often act against what seems to be our best interests. nothing about us or our design cares about us.
this ultimately is who we are. it’s not about happiness or compatibiility. it’s about our selfish, selfish genes…
this site is primitive, really kind of dubmb, but may st least show that reaity exists independently of our fantasies.

October 12, 2014 at 10:41 PM #778636Participanti suppose some might say, then why stick around once the kids are up and about.
reasonable question: i think it comes down to whetehr youa re someone who keeps your word and enjoys the person’s company.
you need to have both conditions met to stick around.
ther eis a ot to be said for loyalty and people keeping their word.
also, you shoudln’t leave your kids to deal with your spouse alone. you should take care of her.
also, layers of time make interaction much more interesting.

Absolutely. It’s an entirely selfish motivation, just as marrying for money is a selfish motivation. Both are very traditional, though.
October 12, 2014 at 11:29 PM #778639GuestWhy is marriage romantic? It’s a legal contract that royalty developed for estate planning.
