*short version:

1. No I would never marry someone just for their money

2. No I would not want to be with someone (romatically) that I didn't find physically attractive.

1. I would not marry for the sole reason of money. However I am in a different situation where my parents expect certain things of the man I marry. Now I'm not going to go out and marry somebody just to make my parents happy, but my dad has a lot of his friend's sons he wants me to meet, alot of them very eligable and nice guys. I would not marry a rich man I don't love, but if I find a man who is wealthy that I love just the same then I dont see a problem with it.

2. No. I'm not shallow but as many have said, you can't have a good long term relationship without a good sex life, and where is this good sex life if theres no physical attraction. For some people that may be different but for me I personally need to be attracted to somebody I'm going to be with.

Yes, No, or under what circumstances if any circumstances at all?

my first question..was i at this lunch?..

first answer:..sure..why not..i plan on getting married 5 times anyways..=)..but if the guy is a cool guy he could be for keeps..

2)..same as the first answer...but at the same time..i would prefer to be at least a little attracted to him..if i completely don't find him attractive at all..i dunno?...

(hey yok..did i tell u about the guy that hates me?..he's so not good looking but because he hates me..he's so damn attractive..=))

Hell yes you were at this lunch! You had shoe string fries and breaded shrimp. It was Jenny who asked the question and me and andrea who said "HELL YES WE WOULD MARRY FOR MONEY" (well actually that was just me). If Plan A failed and I wasn't rich and successful by the time I was 35, I would resort to Plan B: marry a filthy rich elderly who was on the verge of dying, aka my retirement savings plan.

That's nothing jen, at least he HATED you. That definately deserves sexy points. Did I ever tell you about all the guys I ever had crushes on? The majority of them are all pretty ugly! :P

1. Money could never be a direct influence for me but I would like to be in a marriage with financial stability. Love is important, but it is also blind. I don't think I would be particularily happy if I was in love but had to eat spoiled bread and drink bug infested water... I know girls that married for "love" while they were still young and they rarely ever last. Love is great but I think you have to have a lot more going for the relationship than just emotions.


2. I could never marry someone I didn't find physically attractive. I think for me to even be attracted to someone, I would have to find them physically attractive, otherwise, why would I ever start a relationship with them? Why not just stay being friends?

There are certain personality traits that do make a person attractive/unattractive but there definately has to be some chemistry otherwise it'd never work. Looks aren't everything but I don't want to be with someone that I'm going to have trouble looking at for long periods of time.

Never.
I can make my own money, thanks!
On the other hand, if my "perfect guy" happened to have lots of money, that would be great! We would then pool our money together to create even more money and would live the life of luxury. lol

Never.
Physical attraction is a very important part of any relationship - it's hard to be intimate with someone you don't find physically attractive. Again, he wouldn't be my "perfect guy" if I weren't attracted to him.

I think there's a really important balance that needs to be found in a relationship. Everyone has different priorities in life, and your "perfect partner" needs to have priorities that are parallel to your own.

BINGO!

[jenai]

1. well, two of the UK ladies who wanna visit me can afford to travel, so that all depends on whether if the one who says she is coming in August, will. if the ottawa lady who wants to visit vancouver can afford to visit bc, then she isn't poor.

we'll see if any of these ladies has chemistry and wants to get hitched before i answer yes to this question.

2. i think i might want to develop a relationship with a WS girl, even though she'll never be able to understand deeper topics than sports. tho it'd be cool to teach a WS girl all about computers. just think of WS girls as the most gregarious and talkative of dumb girls who ride the short bus.

LA LA LALLLLLLOLS!!! at this thread from like 32 years ago.

who was/is that esoteric guy? deff NOT blake and if it was?.....wow...just fucking wow.

[ebbomega]

I dun think that's blake. a) back then blake was 3507321C, b) he never lost the 1.

[tiedye]

Definitely. Marriage is no longer a sacred institution so why treat it as such? I'll marry for money and mate for love.

[-evil-duerr-]

sure why not, i've pulled off worse schemes than a sham marriage. add it to the list
