Sorry Josiah, nothing personal against the menfolk. Please tell us what you think the older rich gentleman would do?

Some would seek out a bimbo I'll admit, the majority of men with a reasonable amount of character looking forward to a second marriage would seek out a woman with whom they would be intellectually, and emotionally compatible and these tend to be mature women who have a broad range of life experiences. A woman with a clear idea of who she is and what she wants. If she were reasonable attractive so much the better. Immaturity would be a big turn off for me.
 
Do like your reply here! Wife and I aren't so much together on "intellectual" thing.........can really tell that by our work resume's. She uses somewhat of big college words that I'd never use. I'm also a louder person that she is. By that I mean, I can raise my tone of voice up to talk over the tv, washer, drying or dishwasher being on. She will sometimes say "why are you yelling" and I have to remind her that one of these appliances are running. I say, "I'm not yelling, I'm just talking above what is running". She understands.

errrm, I'm confused, is the Op saying she doesn't care of her appearance, doesn't want to find someone online, has no current man in her life, no job, but has decided to get married?...who to?..how? Is this for real?

She is wanting to get married for the first time, is what I got. So she is husband shopping. She is basically asking what we think about getting married, maybe for the first time in our elder years:)
 
I think it has to do with the individual, rich, or not. One thing I think of is that wealthy people seem to stick with other wealthy folks. So like me going to a local bbq, I am not likely to meet a millionaire. I mean of course it can happen. I think too that a lot of men that have money, might have been burnt or used (same with women w/money) so they are gun-shy of someone "maybe" that hasn't much.

But I know rich folks you'd never know they are rich, they are very humble, and I figure if they met someone without, fell in love, they'd go for it. Used to be that awful "class" thing where you didn't dare marry out of your "class" or, well I can't think of the word right now.
 
Well, kids, OP hasn't been back to this thread since Saturday so either we scared her off the notion of marriage at this late date or we scared her off altogether!

Not in my experience. Just look around you. You almost always see the wealthy older man with a woman several decades younger on his arm.

How do you know which ones are wealthy?? How do you know the older couples you see that are the same age aren't wealthy?

I still say most men are going to eventually get bored with a woman whose only assets are her looks. Sooner or later you want conversation.

On the contrary, just yesterday I visited a very upscale retirement community. The residents ranged from their mid-fifties on up. Every couple I met and I met a lot of couples consisted of a husband and wife who were approximately the same age.

But you don't know how long they've been married, right? It could be for decades. They didn't wear badges that said "newlyweds" or she's my second wife". in my experience it's a mixed bag. While there are many wealthy men who marry for reasons other than physical appearance, there are just as many who will look for the young super model type. They know they can afford her and she is a status symbol, an extension of themselves.

Anyway, I think a woman who has never been married, doesn't care a great deal about her appearance, and doesn't have personal wealth and security will not fair well trying to find herself a wealthy husband.

Most definitely agree with this.
 
The gays won again.
They look like a new boy band... but it's the world's first THREE-WAY same-sex marriage: Gay Thai men tie the knot in 'fairytale ceremony'


  • Three men have tied the knot in world's first three-way same-sex marriage
  • Gay Thai men Joke, Bell and Art took the plunge on Valentine's Day
  • The trio wed under Buddhist law due to Thailand's marriage restrictions
  • Bell said: 'We believe many people do understand and accept our choice'

 
Times are changing, and they always have been. I don't condone every thing, every one does, but it's up to them to live their life as they choose. I don't know what is best for me, let alone best for others.
