Not every beauty will marry the rich guy. How true?
How sad is it going to be actually when it comes to picking a partner, you may want to look for like-minded soul mates but the fact in reality, men wants beautiful girl and women wants rich guy. Don’t believe it?
If you only have 5 seconds to pick a mate (see below pictures), which of the following you will pick?
 |
Do you think most of them will pick the “B”? No doubt, our ancestors actually did the same, when it comes to picking a partner, again they will do the same -> “men always seek for beautiful girl and women will always look for security, wealth and commitment.”
Most of us may want to find someone who was similar to ourselves, so that the marriage can last forever because both of them understand each other well. But how many of them actually sticks to this believe? By the way, I came across some very interesting articles from forum which you may have seen it before, however if you did not, I would like to share with you.
A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m 25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden (?), $250k annual income is not enough.
I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I’ve met a few girls who doesn’t have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)Ms. Pretty
Here’s a reply from a Wall Street Financial guy:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyze your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not wasting time here.From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange of “beauty” and “money”: Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can’t be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a “trading position”. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or “leased”. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Looked like what that wall street expert written here sounds rational and practical. People may claim looks or money aren’t everything when picking a mate but when it comes to the crunch. According to an international study, men go for beauty and women choose wealth and security. The study was based on a speed-dating session in which men and women had “mini dates” of between three to five minutes with up to 30 different people.
After every date, the men and women marked a box on a card saying whether they would like to see the other person again. A questionnaire was filled to assess themselves and their ideal mate according to traits like attractiveness, financial status, health and parenting qualities.As for the result, the men went after the more attractive women and the women were drawn to material wealth and security.
However, the men, on average, wanted to see about 50 percent of the women again, but the women wanted to meet only about one-third of the men for a second time.As for the conclusion for the study, Women trading off their attractiveness for higher quality men and men looking for any attractive women who will accept them, which would have had an evolutionary advantage in greater numbers of successful offspring.
I wonder how true is the last sentence (would have had an evolutionary advantage in greater numbers of successful offspring). Does it mean rich guys are looking after beautiful women because they want to produce more quality-looking children and also well-groomed next generation?
And for the lady, they trade off their good looks for money and security in life?
Do you think they will be happy ever after in marriage? What do you think?

In the days of yore (read: cavemen days), there were no doctors and thus men could not access the “health” of a lady based on her medical records. They way men judged was by looking at the outward appearance.
Take for example, a proportionate face (symmetrical) and smooth skin and shiny hair are phenotypes of good and healthy genes. On the flip side, being assymtrical, having bad hair and skin are signs of bad health and possible infection.
So as they would have , outer appearance was the only way men then could judge the quality of offspring they could potentially produce. Since we know that we inherit 50% of our genes from either parent, it is reasonable for men to want to propagate healthy progeny to ensure survival of their bloodline.
Thus, this has been ingrained though evolution that men look for outward beauty only because our forefathers did.
On the converse, women look for security and not so much look, also due to evolution. Women basically were foragers then and spent more of their time taking care of their young, They were concerned with preserving the life of their children and this entailed being with a man who can 1) protect her, meaning being able to afford food/money. Similarly, women also look out for powerful man because in the tribal days, men of status would have the choice of the best meat before any one else and this meant the best food for their offspring. Also, being leader of the pack, no one would dare to attack his family due to the law of hierarchy and this his family would be secure.
It isnt surprising then men price looks over wealth and women the exact opposite. Can’t blame anyone for that, that’s all part and parcel of evolution and survival of the fittest. Call men shallow all you want, but seriously, I don’t blame them.

I can’t answer the question as I am not rich but if I were rich, I will get a girl with good attitude and easy to pleased and are you sure women wants security, wealth and commitment only? I thought they want everything. Women is hard to pleased.
Read this:
“A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking. “Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework. “Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
A New Wives store opened across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money. The third through sixth floors have never been visited.”

I will choose Cameron Diaz for sure !!!
hahahaha..
But for me, men choose women on 4 factors such as looks, religous aspect, wealth and attitude..
So, we have the ‘purchasing power’ right guys …….
Pick the best, leave the worst =P

Answer to the question above..
In my opinion, I think it is normal that women choose for a financially stable men. women always want to know if the men that she want to marry have a future or not. Of course they don’t want to get married with men that can not afford the baby’s needs, household’s needs, even foods…
And this is also our responsibility as a men to supply & protect our family (because he is the head of the family), men should give his wife and children a good life such as education, foods, clothes etc, and all of this need MONEY..
And women’s responsibility are to care for children and household. That’s why I also ask some requirements for women that I want to marry. Is she capable to take care of the children and household? Is she have a good character (honesty, responsible, independent, long-term minded)? Does she love me & my family? Are we happy if we get together? etc..
If she match with the requirement above and still have a good-look, I consider it as a bonus. But I believe that everybody have the same amount of strength and weakness, they are balance. So if until now we just see her strength, then we must prepare to see her weakness someday and vice versa..
That’s my opinion, based on my own experiences..
