I am a thirty something middle class professional man who admires very rich women and fellow middle class women in somewhat different ways:

I admire greatly the wealth, power, forcefulness, aura, ability to influence, classiness, elegance. I look up to them tremendously.

However, I also admire fellow middle class women as peers who I could see myself having a deep friendship, marriage, and relationship.

While I find great luxurious mansions, fun to look at, and visit they would not necessarily be a home for me. I would prefer a more normal suburban house with a nice patio, two levels, nice inside, and basement, in a nice middle to upper middle class neighborhood.

So, while I would find it fascinating to be around an extremely wealthy person, in a wealthy enviornment, and to assist in wealthy matters, I may not want the responsibilities of wealth full time and to manage my own fortune.

So, here is my dream relationship/lifestyle:

Have a day job working at her in mansion/foundation/business office for a extremely wealthy woman enjoying her presence and leadership and using my analytical and professional skills to assist her in some capacity such as in-house lawyer, foundation director, enjoying the thrill of implementing the objectives of someone who I truly look up to and admire. While, I enjoy working for her and admire her, our relationship stays strictly platonic.

After work, I come home to a nice suburban well sized, but not mansion home to a smart and beautiful middle class wife who is a true peer. We then watch movies together, have great discussions, and share in projects together. We have great equal love for each other and thanks to my great middle to upper middle class salary working for the wealthy woman, my middle class wife and I go on great romantic vacations, bonding in recreation and even intellectual adventures.

My questions are the following:

1. What do you think of such a dream?

2. Is it unusual to want a working relationship or other such relationship with a member of the opposite sex you look up to, but to prefer a romantic relationship or marriage to a true peer?

Thanks verymuch

And your chances of realizing your dream are....what, now? Based on...what, exactly?

Inquiring minds need to know.

1) Sounds like a fine dream

2) Why do people care so much about what is 'unusual'?

I like very power driven executive type females. Its very sexy and attractive. However I do like control, and I'm in no mood for power struggles. I am the person who is the leader of the relationship.

I do know where the fascination comes from. Executive level females seem to "get it", where other women seem to fall short

1. I don't like it.

2. If that's what you want, then go for it.

Women with power turn me on...immensely.

Dunno why.

But I get where you're coming from.

Relationships should be equal......it sounds as though your looking for a pet not a wife

I think your dream would be my nightmare. But, it's *your* dream, not mine, so enjoy it.
