Questions about married people who are wealthy

1) Why do upper class people have lower divorce rates compared to the middle and lower classes of married people?

2) Why does it seem that rich people are more likely to cheat on their spouses?

3) Is it a stereotype that rich men get all women, especially the attractive ones?

4) Are there consequences of rich people marrying people other lower economical backgrounds?

 

It's self-explanatory.

 

if thats true we black brothas are some rich folk

 

wut?

 

They may or may not, depending on how hostile the legal system of a particular country is to a spouse who brings the bulk of the cash into his marriage.

Because their wealth affords them greater opportunity to do so.

Yes, it's a stereotype.

Obviously. The poorer spouse may be after her husband's cash.

 

Answer: I think it has alot to do with education levels, among the upper class, they often have better comunication skills.

Answer: I disagree with this statment. Rich people just get more publicity when they cheat. Lower class people often have more children, by different fathers, I know all these babies are not all born to single parents (someone has to be cheating). Also when you watch shows like "cops" whe they bust prosititutes, most often the men they are cought with are lower class married men.

This is a stereotype!

4) Are there consequences of rich people marrying people other lower economical backgrounds?[/QUOTE]

Yes, Gold Diggers And often poeple of a lower class don't know the propper etiquette to display when socializing with the rich.

 

again, you cant help yourself can you?

 

Unfortunately he's not the only one who holds that opinion FG:

:smt009 I'm beginning to suspect you and I are in the minority on the subject of women only wanting men for their money. Seems a lot of people buy into the 'gold digger' philosophy. Clearly not all women who marry a man with more money than them do so with the intention of taking advantage of that, but sadly it does seem to be a popular idea.

I honestly think it's more common in the younger generations, not that either of us is old mind you, but I'm speaking of women in their late teens to early twenties specifically. In fact I had this conversation with my daughter recently and she told me that the majority of girls her age (she'll be 18 in a few months) openly state that they have no intention of working, they just want to marry a man who can support them. Now she doesn't think that way, she won't even let a guy buy her a movie ticket, but she said almost all of the women she knows think like that. That may be partly because they aren't financially secure at that stage in their lives, and if so hopefully their outlook will change as they mature. I've also noted that her generation seems to be a lot more into judging people by what they have, and then ranking them accordingly. I truly don't understand that. I would never look up to someone because they had a better job, bigger house, or more expensive car than me, just as I would never look down on anyone who didn't. That's extremely superficial and completely inappropriate to me.

It's unfortunate anytime the practices of some people negatively affect all of us, but you can't fix or educate the entire world. Sometimes you just have to be content to educate yourself.

 

I really hate to be the superficial asshole to point this out....... but

4. Rich ppl will only marry down the ladder if the other person is extremely attractive than them.....for most part of the case. It is the nature of beast. "It is like buying the beauty, everything has a price" that was the exact comment of a successful banker.

Oyi, life is harsh.

 

I wasnt so concerned about that opinion in itself. If someone states that opinion but has for the most part not blurted misogynic statements I would not care.
It was the way he wrote it: the poorer s p o u c e and then went on to tag the spouce as "she" and after her husbands money.
Im just getting tired of his constant misogynic (or elitist) comments, they are nicely weaved in, in the vast majority of his posts and I acctually dont think he is even aware of it.

ah, Im just gonna put him on ignore again

 

I hear ya. The opinion itself actually annoys me, for the same reasons you stated though. It is almost always the woman who is labeled the gold digger, when in fact there are men who marry for money as well, and men who take women to the cleaner in divorce.

 

This is coming from generation Yer- You my lady are a true southern belle. They don't make them like you no more.

 

you're obviously mixing with the wrong kind of people Z if that is their outlook on life.

 

Yes, my lovely friend GZ.... I dont know where you meet your women, but you clearly are missing out on the good ones and seem to approcah the not-so-good ones. Women with the right values and honest intentions are all over, really. I see quite a few on this board alone.

 

Get out of town................

 

Yep and there are a lot of people who would say 'Thank God they don't, one of her is bad enough!'

But seriously, thank you GZ, though I must agree with Tarshi and FG on this. We are the normal women, it's the rest of them that need to get their priorities straight.

 

What is nml? what is nml to one might be abnml to other. Define nml. I am just being the devil advocate here like Pacino, WHOOOAAA.............

 

I get your point GZ. It's a term I don't generally apply as the definition is subjective. However, I think people who judge a person by their stuff, instead of their character, are abnormal. That may just be me, but it's one of the few things that actually really irritates me, and I see it from both sides. There are actually just as many people who don't want anything to do with you once they find out you are in a better position in life than they are, as there are people who don't want to associate with you unless you have X amount of money and drive X car. I honestly have never made any type of judgment about someone based upon anything like that, and it really bothers me that other people do. As I said I see it most often in my children's generation, and it's really sad.

 

True, most Gen X and Y-er's are a bit superficial, but I dont think it is 100 % a generational thing. Seen in it in folks of other gen's as well. You can just take a look at real house wives of OC/ATL/Jersey etc.....

 

:smt043 No thanks! If someone wanted to torture me, that'd be the way to do it, just force me to watch any reality TV program. Most of the people on those shows are way too high-strung for my taste.
