Simple question for single heterosexual women. You don't even have to post explanations or anything - just click "yes" or "no". (I got the idea for this question from another thread in which I've been engaged.)

Consider a man who was rich enough that you didn't have to work, who told you that he did not want you working - instead, he wanted you to do whatever you had to do to maintain your beauty, your physical fitness, your figure, etc... and satisfy him sexually (assuming he had normal sexual desires). You are compatible with him personality-wise and physically attracted to him. He is attracted to you as you are and does not demand that you change your looks. He says he will give you a large amount of money to spend as you please, and he won't care what you spend it on as long as it's legal. Essentially you can have any "thing" your heart desires. Everything about the relationship looks good and there are no warning signs. He says that he is not the type to leave his wife for a younger woman when she gets "old"... but he will still want her to keep up her appearance so she continues to look really good for her age. He has specifically said that he will not demand plastic surgery, but his expectation is that you will always do whatever you can to keep your figure, your hair style, your style of dress, etc. as close to "the same as it is today" as possible.

He's basically perfect for you in every way. But to be with him, you have to be a "trophy wife" and not a "career woman" or even a "working woman".

Would you want to marry such a man?

I am not living for the carrier and I am maintaining my body because I did it since I was a kid. My mother did not work either even she is well educated. Even there is no money if a person has reasonable income I am happy to be stay home mother and be a wife.

You contradict yourself, because his desire to dominate and control is unhealthy and a HUGE warning sign right there. Another warning sign is his denial of reality. Time marches on, right across every man's and woman's face and body.

My wife mentioned wanting to be a housewife (jokingly...she's an accounting major) and I pretty much said she would have to fill your description (jokingly) if she wanted to be one. That was funny.

He can't be perfect for you in every way if you can so easily be imperfect to him by not styling your hair one day.

I think I'll stick with my Husband who loves the good, the bad and the ugly of me, no matter which he has to deal with at any particular moment.
