My Friend Says Her Future Husband *Must* Be Wealthy!?!?

Jason G

I am not going to say a thing that has not already been said. But the reason she does the charity work is to be around those wealthy people. That is her ploy to get that man and she knows that. Your GF is smarter than you think.

littleredd1003

yeah...she is going to end up being a lonely old woman. If all she cares about is money and material things she will never be happy. I feel sorry for her.

Mr. G

I hope your friend is not upset when men just look at her for her t1ts and @$$.

She is basically making the same shallow assessment of men!!

I hope she likes being single!!

Many women have a need for financial security. Although to that extreme, it does sound rather shallow, to a certain extent, she is like many other people, who need to know that they will be taken care of financially. If it is important to her to be abel to stay at home with her kids, for example, it may be necessary for her to marry someone who is able to bring in enough income for their family on his own.

Personally, I admire my husband's strong work ethic and appreciate all of the hard work that he does, but -- because of his line of work -- I know that we will never be millionaires, and we will have to manage our money wisely. For me, who he is as an individual is far more important than how much money he makes.

it is ok to have husband that has money but money ain't everything!

Money is just a materialistic thing, it can be here today and gone tomorrow. What's she gonna do then?

Bill

There's someone for everyone. Even shallow two-dimensional moneygrubbing opportunists. I hope hers deserves her.

Spartan_girl96

Shallow. but that's what a lot of girls think. It's sad really, and a bad example of females.

Your friend *Must* be a gold digger...

Mongo

I hope she gets a rich guy because she will make any man who is not rich miserable carping about money and what she wants. I predict that she will be a plastic surgery queen by her 40th birthday.

Even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear, at least she was honest in answering your question.

Money is the root to all evil!

Jean Talon

Some people are like that. Is it good that she admits to it? Or is she hoping to be talked out of it? Everyone has their own reasons...

I understand why you'd be upset. But remember, she may change her mind, or discover that she has to change her mind. She knows that poverty isn't practical, but she may discover that wealth has its downsides. (Among other things, there can be a tendency to feel like the wealthier partner "owns" the not so wealthy partner.) Besides, not everyone feels the way she does.

Most females that I know would never, ever go near Donald Trump. (We all know he'll be single again someday...)

Listen, all the women on here saying this woman is a gold digger are wrong. There is nothing wrong with wanting a man who has his proverbial sh*** together. We all know that romance without finance is just a nuisance. I'm not saying a man has to be as rich as Donald Trump but he must have his credit together, a good paying job, a nice home and at least one nice car. You can marry a rich man just as easy as a poor one so why not get what you need, rather than be broke and miserable wondering how you are going to pay your bills all the time? Keep it real.

Stop judging this woman for being clear about what she wants in a partner. You said these were not the only attributes she wanted in her husband. Would she be a better woman to lie to herself and a struggling or poor man and then be miserable? Look at all the grief that was spared because she is woman enough to be honest about what she wants. Tell her I said, " You go Sista".

Some gals just want to be comfortable and not starve. It's hard being married to someone who can't pay all the bills by himself.

Drew

Sad, sad, sad! When I compare the younger generation (I am 47) to the Depression-WW2 generation, as my parents were, I find that the younger ones are generally more selfish, though not always. She is looking for a fat wallet. Any man of decency would do well to avoid her. What would happen if she or her "rich" husband lost all their money to a medical emergency or another disaster? I have a feeling she wouldn't stick by her man's side.

money isn't everything if love isn't in it when two people marries

westfield47130

It's her list of qualifications... There is no way to understand that thought process if it is contrary to yours. Let it be said though...she will probably find mr bucks. and she may be comfortable...but will she be happy in the long run? who knows...ask her in 10 yrs.

Just Me

first thoughts...gold digger...shallow....she's going to be lonly

donna_honeycutt47

It is not uncommon for alot of women to want a man Fianancially secure. Because as she said alot of couples do fight and split over money difficultys, BUT.... Money can buy peace of mind to a degree, but if there is no Love shared by Both individuals, the relationship would simply be Co Existing together. Alot of people can do with a lot less than they feel they have to have, but Love and Laughter are Priceless..

No matter what we say we want in our future spouse, love happens. Chances are with the type of job she has and the people that she'll meet, she'll marry someone with ambition to match her own. There's nothing wrong with what she wants. Women need to feel secure in order to feel loved. If she met up with someone who was not at least on his way to being financially secure, it wouldn't last. Not just because of her ambition, but also because a lot of men have a problem with their wife being more successful. Stop judging her. She's not out to pull an Anna Nicole.

Kitty

I wouldn't want a man with no money... There are certain minimal requirements that I have when it comes to men, and being financially successful is one of them. Everything else can't be "perfect" when you're lacking a very important element. Unless you're in a third-world country (where the rules, I admit, are a bit different), it is each person's choice whether to succeed or fail. If someone my age (in their 30s) are not ambitious, intelligent or motivated enough to strive for career and financial success - I would not want this person as my life partner.

There's nothing wrong with being realistic and practical. Starry-eyed romantics are often in for a rude awakening down the road.

Financial hardship is the #1 cause for divorce. Marriage is hard enough, why not start out with the best possible chances.

lmcbuilder

She's a gold digger, plain and simple. She's disqualifying otherwise perfect men on a financial basis and lists financial standing as a "must have" then her priorities are obvious.

She's not worth knowing, let alone marrying. Some guy with money and little else to offer will snap her up. They will have spoiled and selfish children. She will look back on her life and regret making an idol of money.

curious

Is this a case of sour grapes!
Everyone has an image of the person who will be right for them and no one should try to judge them because of that.
Maybe according to her a person who is wealthy will know the value of money, because he must have worked hard to earn it.

#1 Why does she need her future husband to be wealthy? So she can be a trophy wife and a soccer mom and wont have to worry about working?

#2 Money isnt everything. You can have all the money in the world and not be happy.

#3 She sounds very high maintenance. Men HATE gold diggers.

#4 Sounds like she just wants someone to take care of her. One day she will realize that its about who the man is on the inside is what counts not what the man is on the outside.

#5 That is real sad that your friend thinks that way.

holly

Both men and women can be materialistic. Sometimes it's the man that marries the woman for her money.

wonderbread

And you can expect your friend to go through many divorces, too. Some people think that financial security is the only important aspect of marriage. She will learn the hard way. I also think that today's cable shows are somewhat to blame for the insane and vain viewpoints of the very elite, i.e. Real Housewives of Orange County, Desperate Housewives, Fabulous Life of... These are not realistic views. For most people they are only fantasies. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with wanting to have money and being successful, but if that's the driving force for how your friend picks your spouse, then she's setting herself up for disappointment.
