No.
If I was in love with someone and they happened to be rich, that would be different.
But I'd find it easier to just go to work and earn my own than to live with someone I didn't love for their money. |

It can be appealing, I have dated a wealthy lady, I liked the posh house and the Mercedes, and mixing with her well heeled family. But it was her mood swings that I couldn't handle. |

No. If I could do that I would be living the lifestyle right now debt free...although if i could find a rich man that wanted me to cuckold him then maybe we could talk  |

I recently dated a wealthy lady...well millionaire at least.
Self made and not taken from a husband or inherited so I thought she would be normal.
Which she was...but still had elements of snobbery that I found hard to swallow. As the mist of romance began to settle I realised I didn't like her enough and just ended it...there and then.
Suppose I am just too common to look down on others in a similar position to myself.

To me this is a subject where a lot of people will say one thing but in reality a lot will do completely the opposite. A bit like the "would you run and save a child from an oncoming bus"... Most will say yes, in reality "most" will wait for someone else.
Same with this - not all, but a lot will say "no, not me, marry for love and I'd live in a brown paper bag etc...." I think the reality is a bit different.
This reminds me of that classic mrs Merton quote to Debbie McGee "so, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"
I'm not saying we'd marry someone we hate, I just think some find it a lot easier to see the good points of multi millionaires.

I know what you mean kind of but wealth and attitude dont always go hand in hand. My aunt and uncle are millionaires, my 22 year old cousin has a house worth half a mil and a sports car. Bur they are as lovely as anyone and not snobby. They just take more holidays  |

I couldn't. I don't get a buzz out of spending money; I'm happy living frugally. As much as no money worries appeals I couldn't live my life without feeling love for my husband. It wouldn't be fair on him either. Money cannot fill the hole left by not feeling love. |

Agree with Vara- I have a wealthy family member and he is lovely. And grounded. And I have worked for lots of very wealthy people- some absolutely lovely- some not so!
I think there is a cross-section the same as other areas of society. |

"Also doesnt mean love wouldnt follow often slow developing love can develop into the strongest x"
Until he loses all his money and suddenly he isn't so appealing  |

I could, not right now coz i'm doing alright and don't really buy anything. But if i was poor then i'd do anything to get out of that, hate living in poverty it's fucking awful and stressful. |

Well...truly wealthy peeps are very nice from my experience.
My friends dad was in the top 100 richest a fee years ago with a mere 457 million. All self made 
Absolute gent and did so much for so many including giving 10 million a year to the charity he set up.

Money is a bit of a turn-off for me. So no, money could never be my motivation for marriage.
But then, I didn't even really want to get married before I met Marc, so I guess it isn't much of a choice for me anyway.

It's easier to make the decision when you know you can have quite a nice life off your own earning abilities anyway. If the alternative was love and grinding poverty, homelessness and a paper box then yeah, I'd marry the millionaire. But it never would be because I earn my own money to afford my own life anyway. |

One of my former playmates was probably worth several million- came from a wealthy family, went to a posh private school, had a high powered job, owned various properties and land, had her own fleet of horses, hung round with royalty on occasion- but we just clicked and had a great laugh (and she was pretty kinky and adventurous too )
I could have been tempted if she wasn't already married  |

When we first met, we were on reasonable incomes (35k and 20k) and we had career paths mapped out. We then got married, bought a house, had kids and only one of us was working. All of the single income went towards a mortgage, bills and food and left nothing for luxuries such as restaurants and holidays. We went through this happy but broke stage of our lives for years and survived. I'm pleased to say that things are much better for us financially these days and this brings us happiness and luxuries but we know we'd survive and make it happy without money too.
I wouldn't judge anybody marrying a person who is wealthy and this brings stability but boy do you appreciate it a lot more when you both have mucked in together and gone through debt. |

this in many respects mirrors us also and agree with the last point strongly..

I've been chased for 3 years now by a woman who has at least a million in properties and cash.
We had a brief fling after meeting at my gym, highly sexual but short lived and she wanted to get married after 2 months.
I'm just not gonna marry again.
We're just platonic friends now. (No benefits)
My mates say I'm mad.
She periodically pops the question though. |

No, I couldn't marry anyone "just" for money if I was hard hearted and a lot younger I may consider it as a business proposal. I know someone this works for, but she is also very fond of him.
People often joke about Bruce Forsythe, Paul Daniels being unattractive men with lots of money and young attractive wives, yet they are both in long happy marriages and although not as rich as their husbands neither of their wives are short of a bob or two.

Just money? No.
If I was alone with small children to support, elderly parents to take care of and other responsibilities and a man I liked who was attractive to me sexually while being very wealthy offered marriage i might consider it.
The criteria for a successful marriage are wide and vary with each marriage I think we make too much of romantic love, practical love can be just as enduring. |
