https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/othe...t&cvid=69e3f6b64232496d9a012eecb4ed370d&ei=25 That's true love right there, guys. Doesn't matter that he's almost 30 years older than her. She says it herself: Uh-huh. Of course, he has his own views: First of all, it's weird he knows the definition of the term "hypergamy". Like, "guy carrying a card with the Romeo and Juliet law in his wallet" type of weird. (Thank you, Michael Bay). Secondly, relax guy! It's been like this since the dawn of time! Women actually prefer it this way! We're doing them a favor by not making them work. Of course, we still expect them to be beautiful and be our rock. So yeah. All I can say to this is:
I've read a lot of anecdotes over the last few years about women in their late teens and early twenties preferring older men because too many men their own age have bought into the Andrew Tate or Incel movements and rendered themselves largely unfuckable.
Fun fact: A loooooot of Alfred Hitchcock TV episodes start out with "trophy wife with pool-boy side-piece who gets sick of waiting for the husband to die". No, but I'm sure this one is the fairy tale come true.
No. But let's be honest. They try to lampshade it, but the main motivator for her is clearly money. I mean, I'm sure she picked the millionaire whom she'd be least physically repelled by, but let's be serious, she is stating that "financial security" is her main concern. Oh, she tries to dress it up pretty by saying it gives her the freedom to be artistic or whatever, but come on. If money wasn't her primary motivator, she wouldn't be on Instagram making all those posts about how much money she's got. And it's frustrating because it feeds into the incel notion that women are just looking for wealthy men to take their money. Albert must feel incredibly vindicated right now.
That's not a vagina or X chromosome problem, it's a capitalism problem. And incels insist on being fucking conservative. So, they're pouring gas on the fire they can go ahead and die in.
Incels do hate women for being attracted to men with money, but they also hate women for being attracted to attractive men. They hate women for having any kind of standards or desires. https://www.zerotolerance.org.uk/news/blog/the-five-core-elements-of-incel-ideology/
Essentially they can't understand why an attractive woman would say no to a fat guy with a shitty job and bad hygiene. But God Forbid any woman they're into gain even a bit of weight or go more than a day without shaving her legs. Remember that the next time someone like Uncle Albert whines about no-fault divorce and alimony.
That dude looks like a Stage 4 cancer patient, so hopefully the princess there won't have to wait too long for the payout.
IMHO It's absolutely some form of mental illness, insisting on regarding every other human being as a gradable commodity, then resenting ones own grading in the system they made up to the point of committing violence over it.
Good for him. As long as they are both being honest about their reasons for being in the relationship, I see no problem with it. I mean, if I had the money…
Must be the hygiene thing, because I'm fat and poor and I've dated models. My hygiene isn't much better than "basic effort." I'm also good at making people laugh and have a personality that isn't complete shit, but it's probably the hygiene thing.
I decided a while back that I'm not interested in any woman that feels that I have to change the her or prioritize her over my own peace and interests. And I don't expect any different from them. Women can get insanely upset over that. And they don't have to be attractive, just attractive to me.
I'm certainly not discounting love, attraction, etc., but... Women often are, pardon the pun, putting all their eggs in one basket committing to a man. The have a shorter shelf life than men for reproductive purposes, and a woman's choice in a mate has dire consequences for her future happiness if she chooses wrong. If a man wants a family, he can spend his 20s with the wrong woman, start over and spend his 30s with another wrong woman, and start over yet again in his 40s with another. A woman can't. A woman starting over in her 30s already faces fierce competition with younger women. In her 40s, her biological clock runs out. And aside from the reproductive aspect (which is probably much more compelling than people think), there is the quality of life aspect. And it can be hard to tell which men, at a young age, are good prospects. A 24 year old man who just graduated from Harvard Medical School is probably a good bet, but how many of those are there? The 24 year old who works installing cabinetry may be a good guy and even make an okay living, but where does he go from there? The guy in the article is right: women are called gold-diggers to shame them. Older women who are beaten out in the mate competition do it to demean their successful rivals. Men do it to soothe their egos. And what are they shaming? Making a choice that reflects pragmatic self-interest. Which is what we all do on some level or another.
I didn't. My wife is older than me by five years. She had two kids from a previous marriage. My mother was furious with me for jumping into a relationship like that, taking care of two elementary aged kids with autism at 25 years of age. Nothing about either of our choices was pragmatic. Yet here we are, almost 20 years later. And I wouldn't change a thing. People who think like you are the reason why my wife worries I will dump her for someone younger. It's this idea women have that their only utility for men is the physical. And relationships like the one in the OP reinforce that belief. Love is not pragmatic. And it never should be.
If he is smart, there was a prenup. If not, he'll be in divorce court losing half after she gets bored. True. We aren't talking Anna Nicole Smith level gold digging here. That was all about maturity, alignment, and compatibility...... ...until she found out she wasn't getting a penny of that fortune.
so what you want is a loveless marriage. Sound more like a roommate with fringe benefits. hire a prostitute they never expect you to put your peace and interest ahead of them
These are women who've essentially attached themselves to men they aren't attracted to physically or emotionally in order to secure a better financial position. To quote Medal of Freedom recipient Rush Limbaugh, "that makes her a whore, doesn't it?" Yes, these men could just pay for a prostitute, but they want the image of a woman attaching herself solely to them. I mean, seriously, does anyone think Melania married Trump because she loved him and couldn't resist his animal magnetism? But he married her, and still fucked uglier women than her on the side, because the point is to have a person wholly bought and paid for. So, prostitution with more steps.
I don't want to get married, it's not something I need or care about. And a relationship isn't about sex. If I am with someone, it's more about the time spent together and doing things we both enjoy. Which is possible without either one changing who they are. If you equate with that prostitution, go for it.
There may be something in what you're saying. But also perhaps relationships shouldn't be seen as an economic opportunity.
i don't think you have to worry with your attitude and self centeredness you will never get a chance to marry. it is clear you have no understanding of what marriage is about.
Ok, so I have to be married to be happy? Not wanting marriage isn't self centeredness. It's knowing what I want in my life and what I don't want. And marriage has never part of it. Knowing that and still going through it or making someone believe I want that is misleading and using someone. I also have always known I don't want kids, I don't want the responsibility, the financial obligation, and the time it takes. Putting my priorities first isn't selfish, it's knowing what I want in life. I can still, and have had relationships that were enjoyable and while they didn't last. They didn't go on longer than needed to just have one. We both had our ups and downs in them, and we both had a good time. Better to leave a relationship that you know isn't going to keep either of you happy if you feel like you to not be the person you are. What you're saying is that marriage is essential to be happy and the choice to remain single is selfish. Plenty of people find happiness in marriage, plenty find happiness in remaining single. Changing myself to make another person accept me isn't me, and they're with my true self and neither am I.
One of the things not considered by these women is becoming a nurse when the man is in his 70s 80s and beyond. Of course, if the man was wealthy enough he could afford his own medical care. But withdrawing from daily personal care is definitely noticed. Then, once the man kicks the bucket what is she going to do? Start dating men her age? It seems to end with loneliness on the back end.
and i quote 'Putting my priorities first isn't selfish' that is the very definition of selfishness........... me before everybody. i am not saying you have to be married to be happy. what i am saying is you do not have a clue as to what makes a marriage work. love to me is putting someone before yourself putting their interest ahead of yours it's kinda sad that you will never know what love is because you will never surrender your 'me first' attitude.
SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH come on man!!! i don't want to suffer alone!!!!! misery lurves company...my wife DOES 'beat' me!!!!!! and i am still smilin
Sacrificing my priorities to be in a relationship isn't a relationship. It's placing yourself in a position that doesn't benefit me. I also said I don't expect any different from the person I may be in a relationship with. You can keep your priorities and they can keep theirs, and still have a relationship. If I like doing something, they can do it with me. I'm not going to force them, but I won't give it up to make them happy. And I will do things that I may not find interesting, but I won't tell someone that can't do them or have to give them up for me. And if they don't want to join me in things I enjoy, they don't have to. Or want me give up what I want for them, then they don't need to be in my life. Wanting someone to give up their interests and what they want is selfish. That says "Your happiness and interests are less important than mine". Accepting mine and theirs isn't selfish, it's knowing who you are and what is important to you, while also acknowledging the same for them. I don't expect someone to change for me either.
Should go in the Trump threads, but this reminded me - apparently the fucker's Department of Education has now delisted Nursing as a "professional degree", affecting student loans etc and also insulting a shitload of hard-working and talented professionals in a field that's already struggling to recruit.
