Suppose you were wealthy beyond belief.......   (or if you are)
 
Which is better to pursue for a mate?
 
Someone who is in need?
 
Someone who is equally as wealthy as you?
 
Or someone who is more wealthy than you?
 
(just in case I am ever single and wealthy)
 
What say you?

    I would probably seek someone who is my equal or has less.  Not that I would discriminate against someone with money, but they tend to either be paranoid about being stolen from or entitled.

    someone i love.

    andno money can amount to that... ;-)

  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2009....
    U-I:  That's why I was asking...Suppose you were the one with more money?  I would be the paranoid one if I had the "more money!" 
     
    But I think I would either take the one with equal money if I could find them.
     
    If I couldn't, then I would go for the one with less.
     
    The one with more?   Then he should be paranoid!
  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2009....
    Queen:  Good answer!  But what if you were trying to protect your interests?  Would you trust just anyone?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jun 12, 2009....
    When I married my husband he was homeless.  I had more.  A job, a place to stay, a car and even though it wasn't much, it was more.  I still would have no problems sharing anything I had.  After all, it's just money.

    wombat: that's why they invented prenuptial agreement right????
  • gingersoul said on Jun 12, 2009....
    I've never based my love choices on the money factor....

    With my great luck i have always ended up loving men with no- less or equal money....lol...

    I truly don't know what it means having a richer partner.

    When i met my ex husband i paid for our very first dinner......he was this pennyless Navy sailor....;-p
     
    But if the man i love happened to be rich....i wouldn't really see the problem.....lol.....
  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2009....

    Queen:  I just never needed the prenup in my lifetime, but it's an intersting concept.   I think my "prenup" would be more in the line of emotional baggage!

    U-I:  I do understand....I helped my hubby get out of debt and he helped me get out of debt.....

    But I was thinking bigger here.  What if he had $12 million dollars, and I only had almost $1 million?

    gingersoul: I've never either.....only because I've never had the reason.   But just suppose I had met me current and he was filthy rich?   Or if I had been?    Would we be together?

    Read comment to U-I: We helped each other get out of debt, but would either of us married the other if we were flush?

    Definitely somebody equal or less wealthy.  It would feel like too much competition if there was somebody with more wealth. Also, a less wealthy person is more likely to fully appreciate the wealth without taking advantage of it.  Somebody of equal wealth can more easily understand where you're "at".  However, all of that said, there are exceptions everywhere and wealth may have nothing to do with it, that may just be a starting point and you could be pleasantly surprised.
  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2009....
    Hegemone:  Good points!  I just would like to have that problem...............and be pleasantly surprised!
  • Hegemone said on Jun 12, 2009....
    Ha, yeah, me too, well ... the money anyway, lol.
  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2009....
    Hegemone:  Wouldn't it be nice to have that problem?   Is this dude after my money?  And then I would have to decide based on what he had?
  • hotaka said on Jun 13, 2009....
    I'd go for equal. As much as I'd like to help someone in need I would want to create a dependent who would start taking me for granted. I have already been through that and it was no fun. "Pay for me, pay for me! Buy me this. You have money."

    I would prefer to find an equal. I wouldn't want someone with more money pitying me and trying to support me.

    Wealthy beyond belief. Okay that means I am sitting on 20 million dollars. Reminds me of a joke. A guy wins the lottery, hundreds of millions of dollars, and right away he tells his wife to pack up. She gets all excited and says where are we going, honey? He answers I don't give a shit where you go, just get the fuck out.
  • bhalah said on Jun 13, 2009....

    hotaka:  I think I agree with you.  I would probably try to find someone from my equal financial status, but I doubt if I really would.  Knowing me, I'd end up finding out I married a male gold-digger who offs me in my sleep!

    lfbno7:  Funny!  Thanks for making me smile.

    bhalah:  Yes, it's like a type of karma.  What's comes around, goes around.

    superbozo:  Oh, I'd love to be living in the lifestyle that I think I deserve!

  • Lucytorial said on Jun 13, 2009....
    I don't think money would have anything to do with my choice.  It would have to be someone who challenges my mind, someone who is passionate, someone who is my equal, creative and intelligent, someone who makes me smile and giggle.
     
    Those things can't be baught with money.
  • lfbno7 said on Jun 13, 2009....
    can too
  • secretlife said on Jun 13, 2009....

    my mother always said that it was just as easy to love a rich man as a poor man.

    i think she was onto something.

  • wombat said on Jun 15, 2009....

    Lucy:  I do agree with you on that.  I don't know what made me ask.  Guess I was daydreaming of being in that position, and wondering how I could trust anyone not to be out for my money!

    lfbno7:  Well, maybe...at least for awhile!

    secretlife:  Your mother is right, but the problem is finding one who would have me.  (If I was single, of course!)

  • hotaka said on Jun 15, 2009....
    Wait a minute? You have money, wombat?
    Er... Can I see your photo again?
  • wombat said on Jun 16, 2009....

    hotaka:  I wish!  No, I was just dreaming and wondering....just in case I ever had that problem!  I have decided that character counts most in a mate, and that their money status only counts if they are of ill-character! 

    Must be smart if you are rich....just as in poor.  Just for some added reasons.

    (I would probably end up married to my limo driver, if he was either of good character or just a smooth talker.  Hope I would be smart enough to know the difference!)

  • hotaka said on Jun 16, 2009....
    Hey, lots of room in a limo, if you know what I mean. ;)
