Golddiggers

I recently read a book about women who aspired only to marry wealthy men. In the book the women were villified and were looked upon as imoral for their preference.
Is it morally wrong to want to marry a man with a sizeable bank account and has social economic status. If a woman has a preference for a wealthy man is it any different from a man who has a preference for beautiful women, or a college educated professional woman.
Some may argue that if a woman only wants to marry a man who is wealthy, she would eventually leave him if he ever loses his money. Some would also argue that she is just using him for his wealth.
It is just as easy to fall in love with a wealthy man as with a poorer man. Everyone is entitled to have a preference and who are we to judge what people like. As long as you are honest and not trying to misrepresent yourself I see nothing wrong with it personally. I respect all different viewpoints and welcome your feedback. Please comment and let me know what your stance is on this subject.

Whereas I agree with you that people are entitled to their own opinions and or decisions, I for one, am against targeting folk for what they have. As you mentioned "some" men will target beautiful women, and "some" women target wealthy men. However, as you also stated what happens when the money goes? Do you leave this person you've shared a bed with, this person you've vowed to honor and support? If you have children with this person, how do you explain this to them? More importantly, how do you live with yourself? You see God is ever present in my life, and would not allow me to follow through with such an act.

On the flip side of this, the man that chooses a woman for her outer beauty...what happens when her breast begin to sag, or wrinkles begin to show n her face, or her hair begins to thin? Unfortunately or fortunately, these things happen if you live long enough, so what do you do? Do you leave the mother of your children, do "you" walk away from the same woman you loved in her younger days....?

I could go on and on, but I wont.

Good Post!
