If only! How many guys out there actually have enough money that a woman could consider marrying for money?

I wish. Most marry for love. By today's standards, often times, this is the other way around. I have been married two times, and both times, I was the breadwinner. I can't say there aren't any of those types of women around, but in general, love is the #1 deciding factor when women decide to marry. Even if the money is there, if the love is not, I would walk away.

Isn’t soliciting for sex against the law? LOL.

Think about it! If you’re in it only for the money then isn’t it like a very elaborate form of prostitution – both emotionally and physically?

I mean, what’s the difference between the woman who marries a credit card and the girl who walks the street?

In a way, it’s a symbiosis, albeit a deviant one:

The material girl has her youth to give, in return for wealth.

The man has wealth, and being a man, wouldn’t feel a thing for what he loses.

What I really don’t get is:

In a modern world where women are virtually equal to men,
why would a woman play the weaker sex and yet hold on to power and money?

Maybe I’ve answered my own question. Power without control – corrupts.

Well some women marry for money. But most of them are out on the look for a person who is loving, caring and responsible, in addition individual preferences. Money might attract initially but at the end of the day a happy relationship is all that matters. And this would only come when therez unbiased and unconditional love towards each other.

In this era of gender equality and women empowerment, where women are independent and have their own identity, money doesnt matter. Atleast its not the first priority.

We didnt even get engaged right away but he had the money and bought us a house and I didnt have my mom and dad, just my mom and I dont want my kids to grow up the way I did. i really love my husband but there are times we both know we would not be togeather if I never got Pregnant. But we have a good life we dont have a lot of money more like a lot of debt but we know we can afford the debt and my kids are happy.

Initially, a woman might be enticed by a gentleman's bank account, but as the relationship progresses, the woman will become bored and crave the romance she originally disregarded. I don't believe women can remain in a loveless relationship based on monetary value. Women, whether they admit it or not, are very emotive. We simply cannot exist with out some emotional investment. Some women might actually make to the alter for money, but they will either file for divorce, or become consumed with adultery. The majority of women whose goal is to marry money, will never make it down the isle.

Prior to the shakesperean concept of Love was predominating society, marriages always had a an overtone of economics and social class built into their acceptability.

For example, take the Royal Families of Europe, or wealthy early american families.Many of them did marry for economic reasons.. but these days, as success and earnings has less to do with class and inheritance - people don't feel the need as much to tie themselves into deep pockets.. not to say some chicks don't

Unfortunately many do, case in point, Heather McArtney, and expect to walk off with at least half of the guys fortune after a few years. They do have a word for women who sleep with a man for money even under the guise of 'marriage'.
Women who complain about not getting equal respect in society can thank the women who use guys for money.

I personally think that girls who go for $$$ are most likely under the following situation:

1) Loss faith in love (prob due to past relationship)
2) Poor (to escape poverty)
3) Family brought up (lousy father, instilled the value of $ above all or mother who ran away with guy with $ and a useless father)

Hmm above sounds like movie scenarios but anyway, i think that girl will give up the mindset if they a met the 'guy', who they truly have feeling to or attracted to or who can touch their heart through their sincerity and love (rarely). However, under desparate situation (such as the mother needs $$ for treatment), a girl may 'sacrifice' herself.

Women DO marry for money. If that were not true, as the feminist infidels here would have you believe, then women wouldn't be asking you how much you make on dates. Women are lying, greedy, selfish, and conniving whores.
