That doesn't mean that there's someone for everyone, though.
I think he should still get kudos for marrying someone that wasn't traditonally HAWT. I mean, he's rich. There are many men who when they strike it rich go younger, hotter or whatever else they feel is befitting their current image. It shows he's not shallow, at least that's how I'm reading it.
It made me really happy.

I'm just curious though.

Do you live by your own credo?

Let's say you're a woman who is a 6 or 7. Would you date (not even marry) a man who is a 4 if he gets along with you mentally and he's a really great guy?

He probably married her because he trusts her. He's a rather ruthless businessperson and I've known a couple of men like him...they don't trust easily. She was with him from the beginning and he probably wouldn't trust one of those 'hot young things' because he actually has a fortune to protect.

It's the same reason my ex boss married his wife, and he was very open about it.

yeah so he didn't screw his gf over and made him his wife. The dude is insecure and can't even dress properly for business meetings. He also screws us over everytime he changes the privacy settings on facebook and now instagram. Except for having a bunch of money, he's not really that much of a catch, you would have done better by using someone different.

But how does that pertain to your thread title?

I agree that he's not a shallow guy, but this has nothing to do with any guarantee that there's someone for everyone.

She's pretty attractive actually. Not supermodel but you don't have to be to be attractive looking.

They've been together a long time. Like 10 years or something. Long before he had his money.

If there's a spark/chemistry, why not? Looks in a man don't matter to me that much. Anyone who has read my posts would know that I like the Alpha types which is more about Confidence and Swagger. That's what attracts me mentally.

Well, I haven't seen too many men who are 4s who could be considered Alpha Males, but I won't get into that. I believe you.

I think people should keep in mind that inspirations shouldn't just inspire that we can get the best possible that we can get, but that we too can be the inspirational ones who buck the shallow trends.

Ok. Enough preaching.

Ok. Handshake.

I just wanted to spread some positivity on CD. This board is so negative and bitter. It starts to affect you.
A new year is about to start, how about we start thinking positively for a change, even if it's just for one day

I didn't know we were arguing.

It's a good story. I agree. He could get a woman who is way more attractive than Priscilla and still as smart and arrogant as he is.

But he chose to stick with the human connection, for now at least.
