A disgrace to all women who consider themselves "rich".

[Ebania]

Alright, I am not rich. (At least, not compared to some people in my neighborhood). But I'm not poor.

Make sense?

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

I can't get my thoughts straight. Just seeing this post in the Chatterbox seemed to kill a few braincells of mine.

Title of thread: "i wat a rich gurl fer gf"

Some random n00b

crying crying i wat 1 cus i poor crying crying

... I'm sorry... What?

I know this isn't the worse n00b post ever, but it made me ashamed to a) have a Mercedes Benz in my driveway b) be female c) be apart of the human race.

What am I, an item? Just because I'm "rich" by someone's standards, it does not mean I can be exchanged between men (illiterate or not) like a glass of fine wine.

That is wrong! I am poor, I can barley afford to live where I am now. I don't want a rich boyfriend, that would be using him. I get so mad when guys by me things, I feel guilty! Wanting some one because you are financially unstable, is a horrid thing to base a relationship! Yes, I have been offended. Excuse me while I go beat that n00b.

Yes. It is.

I'm tired of people who think that they can marry a rich person (I mainly hear this from girls), and it would solve all their problems. Money can't buy happiness, or love, or anything like that. There is no guarentee he/she won't divorce you, expecialy with a rich man you married only for money, who might divorce you if you have so much as a wrinkle.

I's a sad sad world out there....

Really, if those people would take the time to learn to type properly, may be they'll eventually be able to support themselves. Of course, given the level of literacy in these posts, there doesn't seem to be much hope for them, does it?

This reminds me of a cartoon which makes fun of how marriages between old rich men and young gold-diggers are allowed, celebrities are allowed to have their publicity stunt marriages, and yet same-sex marriages "violate the sanctity of marriage".

I'm always disgusted when people do these types of things. You're often poor, because you're lazy. There are circumstances, at times, but more often than not, you don't want to work, so you get what you deserve. Or you live off ******** welfare...

But I'm ashamed to be a male from that! Honestly, find someone you're interested in, not someone who simply has money.

Too true.  

[Archdemonessa]

Okay... I'm now ashamed to live in Wildwood, Missouri, wear expensive clothing, and have money that I earn from a job, and own a Mercedes Benz for a Sweet Sixteen present. I hate people like that, I've hurt them before.

((Note that I put "I earn from a job" in bold.))

While I do agree this is pathetic and low, here is an interesting question.

Is this any MORE pathetic and low than a woman wanting a rich husband? The only thing a woman would be accused for this very request is a lack of ambition and honestly, this is a more common request for women than it is for men. When put in this position, men rarely complain of being treated as an object or trophy. Sadly, men expect this from women; why is this suddenly WORSE when the shoe is put on the other foot?

I am not a misogynist, but I am a realist. If women want to be treated like men, they need to change the rules of what is expected of a woman.

I'm sure they weren't serious. If they were, start up the gas chambers, but I'm sure they weren't. But the language is inexcusable. I say we start up the gas chambers anyway. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go and mow my lawn.

Thank you! Finaly! Someone else with enough logic to realize that!  

[slightlyfoxed]

Heh, I'm still waiting for my patron to pay me to stay at home and make stuff!

Seriously, you can have no money, but if you are relatively well-spoken, have a good sense of humor, and a nice set of manners, that's far more sexy than a wad of cash.

As an aside, it is totally normal to not have any money throughout college, at the beginning of your career, and at the beginning of your marriage. You learn to live through it.

Quite true here. It's pathetic on either end. Now, I'm very much an equalitarian, and believe that men and woman deserve to be treated exactly the same. In this case, whether it's a woman or a man trying to get the rich partner, simply because they're too lazy to work, it's disgusting. It is similar to people who abuse the welfare systems so that they don't need to work even though they are capable of it. I believe that this was simply brought forward because that it was the example that was found.

Now, another problem I see in this thread. People are saying that they are ashamed of owning their expensive things after reading this? Why are you ashamed? You worked (or your parents, as the age may be) to get where you are. Don't be ashamed of what you have simply because you see some beggar who isn't willing to take those first steps to get his/her life on track.

Yes. Either way, marrying for money is pathetic, man or woman.
