Only after the money

[thalbergmad]

Following on from the how to approach a girl thread, this thread is dedicated to stunning girls who are going out/married to not stunning men and are only after their money.

I would like to start off with the lovely Anna Nicole and the handsome (maybe 60 years ago) J Howard Marshall.

This picture clearly shows that she loved him and was not even remotely interested in his billion squid.



Lets see how many more we can find.

I bet she loves him because of his stunning looks.

Very nice Bernie, but would she have married you if you were a bog cleaner?

Thal

[thalbergmad]

Proof that women like men with a sense of humour.

Money has nothing to do with it.

Ain't that so Brucie.

older men sometimes care more, do more, love more, talk more.  not always - but, very often.  my husband has been honest, kind, caring, everything that all the younger men i dated had only in limited quantities. 

thal, you might be very caring - but you have to tell women.   they have to be told.

[thalbergmad]

This lovely is only interested in the talent.

If there was any, i might believe it.

Been through a few have we?

Thal

Hope she is good at ironing Ronnie.

She could start with your face.

Would she be going out with him if he played for Accrington Stanley?

I think not.

i think men mature like wine.  you don't get the best til later.  my husband is 62 and he's mellowed more now than at 40.  i married him at 24.  he adored me and still does.  i can do nothing wrong.  excepting once i threw out a chair he liked and he didn't forget that for a while.  but, mainly he's very forgiving and loving.  younger men, i believe, tend to be less forgiving and more critical.  women can be very sensitive.  and,even when they give it (crit) if a man is able to be a man and just take it for five minutes - the women just mellows and melts and can't stay angry.  that is what my husband did the first time i got angry at him.  he just looked all hurt and then asked what he could do to make it better.  he didn't get defensive or act immature and put it back in my face - even if it was totally in my imagination.  taking women seriously makes them love you very very much.

also, he gives me jewelry.  i got these beautiful pearl earrings when we were first married - and he kept saying - 'go play the piano.'  at that point i was i tired - so he had to wait an hour or so - and i went to the piano and he had the box of earrings inside the lid of the piano.  i thought it was so romantic.  also, he keeps our anniversary every month.  he takes me out to dinner on that day every month.  chocolate from his trip to france.  wherever he goes - if i can't go - he calls and i know he isn't with anyone else.  once he was proposed to in france, and had to walk across the street really fast to lose her.  also, he has done really nice things on the spur of the moment.  sometimes i tell him he isn't romantic - but really he's a romantic at heart because it's totally in his heart.

I can see the attraction here.

The girl obviously loves men who can eat carrotts through a tennis racket.

Obvious innit.

Thal

[thalbergmad]

i married him at 24.   

WHAT, you were 8???

Thal

[thalbergmad]

also, he gives me jewelry.  i got these beautiful pearl earrings when we were first married

Has he ever given you a pearl necklace?

Thal

[pianistimo]

no. lol.  he was 40 and i was 24. 

[lau]

[pianistimo]

that was a HUGE mistake on his part.  ivana trump loved him more.  i bet at the end of his life he will say he misses her.  she was his other half.  they had beautiful children and smart children, too, and it was because of the both of them.  she was very prudent and beautiful.

[thalbergmad]

Nice one Lau.



Would she be with him if he played off a handicap of 20?

I think not.

Thal

[pianistimo]

motives are hard to interpret.  sometimes a spouse quits giving what the other needs.  emotional support or intellectual stimulation because of long hours or whatever.  i think it is not so much age or money related - as issue related.  these women could marry anyone younger with money - but they chose older.  they were already making money modelling.  i think that these women liked being treated well.

[pianistimo]

i already had a pearl necklace from my grandmother.  but, he later gave me a really beautiful necklace (unfortunately i didn't like the green gem in it - so later i went to macys and found it was expensive enough to trade for a 70% off big diamond necklace on a delicate gold chain).  i hope he forgives me on that one.  men sometimes pick things they think look nice - but it's the thought that counts.

[thalbergmad]

these women could marry anyone younger with money - but they chose older. 

Yeh, because they had even more money.

Thal

[pianistimo]

well - you can turn the whole thing around and say that men are only after big boobs.  ok.  maybe 70% are - but not all of them.  so it's a sort of stereotype that all are.

[thalbergmad]

but it's the thought that counts.

Cobblers, its the diamonds that count.

Thal

[nicco]

John Arne Riise and the mrs.

[pianistimo]

diamonds are a girls best friend.  remember that, thal.

i don't know who mr riice is - but he doesn't look that old.  btw, LOVE that bouquet.

[thalbergmad]

My point precisely.

Thal

[thalbergmad]

John Arne Riise and the mrs.

Must be a Liverpool fan.

Obviously not interested in his wages.

Thal

[pianistimo]

we were poor when we married.  my ring has a somewhat smaller diamond- but we found an artist friend to design our rings - so they have special meaning to us even though they are not terribly expensive.  we lived in a small apartment with no washer/dryer (had to walk to it), an older but kinda cool car, and not a lot of amenities excepting a nice pool in the apartment complex.  my husband was self-employed at that point - and i really had no idea how the job market would turn out.

when you love someone - you don't really care if they are going to make big bucks.  but, you want them to at least try their hand at whatever they are good at.  he used to make very delicious crock pot meals and we probably ate better when we were dirt poor.  one thing among many that i respect about my husband is that he is a planner.  he doesn't just go off and make rash decisions.  therefore - each decision along the way has been amazingly good.  it's because he tends to wait and think and just take his time considering the options.

[thalbergmad]

when you love someone - you don't really care if they are going to make big bucks. 

I agree, but when a man has big bucks, he could end up married to a stunning woman that does not love him.

That is the point of my thread and i have illustrated this point with several examples.

you modified that post didn't you

I read a study once where they examined the sex lives of men and women and compared it with their social status.  There wasn't much of a correlation for a womans status, but the higher a mans status (=richer) the more partners he had.

I remember in highschool a girl was half-joking about golddigging.  It didn't go over so well, she misjudged her audience, a buncha guys.

Whatever, when I'm driving and I see a hottie I tend to swerve a little

Thal, you're married with a woman who loves you?

Could it be, that you're a bit jealous?

There is a saying among Filipinas of what to look for in husband. They call it the four Ms:

"Matanda, mayaman, madaling mamatay" - Old, rich and quick to die. Unfortunately my wife drew the short straw on all counts. In any case it has to be love to have put up with me for twenty-eight years.

"Matanda, mayaman, madaling mamatay" - Old, rich and quick to die.

   Well men have also known to be gold diggerz. Plenty of rich chicks.
