See, I just can't get into the old guy thing. I just would be repulsed at being with someone so much older than me...money or no money. Ugh.
I met a man about 3 years ago who was one of the sexiest men I have ever met. He was in his 50's. That's not "old". Still he looked older, but he dressed well, worked out all the time, has 3 bikes and rides often, travels a lot, and smelled sooooooo good. *drool*.
I also met a man who said he was in his late 50's but was actually 71.
Same thing, very well dressed, well groomed, well mannered and sexier than the dickens. I have to admit that once he told me his actual age, I was a little taken put off. It didn't go very far, maybe two or 3 dates and it kind of lost its luster.
I actually prefer them older. Someone my age would likely be too young for me at 39.
What is messed up is that it says half the guys are married.If you want to mess around like that fine,but do it as a single guy.Although some of the wives are probably doing the pool guy anyway,marriage of convienance not love.
I take this as code of "I prefere rich men who will pamper me"
Not passing judgement we all have our terms of need.Just a question though.If society fell apart tommorrow where there was no more financial world where money was only useful for fire material,what kind of man would you go for then?
The question is for twinkle toes and applecherry also.

You're not the first and you won't be the last, I'm sure. I prefer successful men because the have their act together for the most part. They have a lot to protect so they will likely make better decisions over all. I've already done the "I'm with him for LOVE." charity gig. I'll pass. And I can pamper myself.

I don't need it. I want it.

I fully expect the man I am with to be able to gather firewood and fish for dinner. I do it for fun.

If they have alot to protect then may I ask would you sign a prenup?

I'd sign a pre-nup, sure. But not one that didn't protect me as well. I can guarantee I'm not going to be one of those women who walks away with just the clothes on my back.

But you wouldn't walk away with just that,after all you say you can pamper yourself and gather wood and fish for yourself so obviously you would not go without.However a successful man with alot to loose would have a prenup stating what was his before marriage remains his and what was yours is yours.
In other words just throwing out numbers he was a multi millionaire before you married him,you had 100k going into the marriage,it stays that way after divorce,
Amazing read- I love modern-day anthropological stuff like this. Thanks for the link.
For the Lola and B.K. story, I didn't know whether to feel sorry for both of them, or punch them both in the face. I felt really bad for Lola's boyfriend above all.

Is that a adequate prenup?
I can pamper myself, yes, I work and can support myself. I am not a gold-digger and I know there are women who marry for money. I'm not one of them. I have already had it and walked away because it isn't (and never will be) enough to make me settle.
So, am I going to take half of his lifetime earnings? No. But I don't subscribe to the notion that I leave with what I came in with. I was his wife for however long, whatever we accumulate while we are together is ours. It is not just "ours" until something goes wrong then it's all his. I'm not borrowing from my own husband. I am not the only one gaining from the marriage, he has a lot to gain as well. It may not be money, but is that the bottom line? I can find someone to wine and dine me and lavish me with gifts and not have to be accountable to him every day.
I wouldn't go into a marriage preparing for a divorce. But I am understanding enough to know the risks that come with fortune. So I would sign a pre-nup, that protected us both. But I wouldn't marry a man who told me that I'd have to leave with what I came with. That is NOT a man, to me.
