How to bag a wealthy man?

Realise I’m going to get flamed for this, but how many of you if you really were completely honest, would prefer to be with a wealthy man, given the choice?
How do you attract them, what type of women do they go for?
I live abroad, 10 minutes away are multi millionaire pound villas, extensive gyms and restaurants etc. I’ve seen these men with a mix of women..some much younger and glamorous (fairly obvious) but many of the wives are fairly quiet and quite plain.
How go these women generally end up with these men?

@Fuckety

MsTSwift I know several sex workers who went on to have relationships with their clients - one couple are now happily married with a couple of kids. They weren’t street walkers though, more professional party girls who often had very similar upbringings to their clients.
You know ‘several’ sex workers who went on to ....?

Wow. I don’t know a single sex worker. Let alone one who went on to marry a wealthy man.

Funny.

Give Melania a call. There'll be one going spare in Mar a Lago after 20 January. But do bear in mind what comes along with the dosh. Blechhhh.

One of DHs bosses at a investment bank married a stripper after a messy divorce. Don't understand why he got married again tbh.

I once heard there is a particular bar in London where rich men go looking. I think it's the one at the top of the Oxo Tower.

That's interesting. I once dragged a single friend there for drinks and made her take off her usual baggy sweater and put on a dress. She has great legs. There were really handsome men with lolling tongues all night and she was oblivious to them.

OP when you find out come back and let us know!! Yes

FourTurnings · 14/01/2021 18:51

We’ve got so far to go sisters 😞

Fuckety · 14/01/2021 18:57

TheOneLeggedJockey yes, I used to work in the sex industry so know a lot of sex workers. It wasn’t as funny as you clearly find it though.

LickEmbysmiling · 14/01/2021 19:03

Op I've not read the thread.
You just have to be around them, work or socialise or live where they do.

LickEmbysmiling · 14/01/2021 19:05

I have a friend whose sister married 2 extremely wealthy men. She always laments how she met not one but two... But she was in the circle, so as her marriage broke down of course its going to make sense that she knows the people who around her.

PrankedByLife · 14/01/2021 19:10

It's obvious you won't end up with one so no point in dreaming

You're probably not good looking and young enough or you would've had one by now

The ones with the plain wives won't touch a gold digger like you as they can probably smell you a mile off

Get a job and an education and earn your own money

wonderup · 14/01/2021 19:15

I don't think good looking is important.

@MsTSwift

Ime like marries like - dentists marry dentists lawyers marry lawyers etc. The film Pretty Woman trope of suave millionaire falling for a prostitute or shop worker are not realistic!
At university, as an undergraduate, the ambitious, prettiest girls mainly wanted to date medics. Rather a lot of the medics I knew went on to marry other doctors. A lot of dentals dated other dentals. Some of us law students had a distinct preference for other law students, medics or dentals, and looked down our noses at anyone else. Student life! I remember having a particular arrogant arsehole of a computer science boyfriend and standing up to him one day and dumping him, telling him that he wasn't good enough for me anyway and I would make sure I stuck to those doing professional subjects like me in future. He deserved it though, and I didn't really mean it.

But dental, medical, law, etc students are often quite ambitious - thats why they are doing those subjects - and have a life plan which doesn't involve getting derailed by lots of different girlfriends or early divorces.

Of all the very wealthy people I know (wealthier than your average doctor, dentist, etc), very few are divorced. Affairs and divorces are time consuming if you're running a successful business, and quite often a wife helps run the business or keeps everything ticking over, and the couple are like a well oiled machine. Celeb types, or those who court it, are often different and prefer the younger second wife type.

In fact, of the handful of men I know who do mess around with different women or who try to get younger girlfriends, they are all spectacularly unsuccessful and quite low achieving. Even if they do appear wealthy, they quite often have massive debts and the only swanky thing will be a car bought on finance.

biddybird · 14/01/2021 19:31

Labobo Perhaps it's true then!
I've heard it's also quite an expensive place to have a drink so it makes sense that there would be rich men there.

Fuckety · 14/01/2021 19:35

labobo has the inside info ladies - let a rich man take you up the Oxo Tower and you’re set for life Grin

*But dental, medical, law, etc students are often quite ambitious - thats why they are doing those subjects - and have a life plan which doesn't involve getting derailed by lots of different girlfriends or early divorces

The majority of dental, medical and law undergraduate students in the Uk are female.

I drag this tale out once more. Interviewer to the very old(90? I think,) husband of the considerably younger Anna Nicole Smith
"and where did you meet Anna Nicole?"
"I just opened my wallet and there she was."

DenisetheMenace · 14/01/2021 20:25

Love is love, wherever it finds you.

I don't think all women who marry extremely wealthy men necessarily "love" them.“

So, Debbie McGee, what was it that first attracted you to the millionaire, Paul Daniels 😂

Pritiisprettyawful · 14/01/2021 20:30

@SnakesandKnives What app game was it? 🤣

If you look at the ten richest men in the world they seem to find time to divorce & run businesses.

GreenlandTheMovie · 14/01/2021 21:27

If you look at the ten richest men in the world you are looking at exceptions.

And exceptions that court publicity, which probably goes alongside the tendency to divorce and find a younger second wife.

wonderup · 14/01/2021 21:30

Is there any evidence they are the exception? My cousin is a divorce lawyer, most clients have millions, she's always busy.

wixked · 14/01/2021 21:34

If you look at the school gates at the local private school it's a very different scene to the local primary. The women are uniformly slender and well groomed. They all smile freely, are polite, chatty and generally quite interesting in one way or another. Most met their husbands at uni/work. Join a tennis/golf club/expensive gym OP and present well.

Rachel Uchitel met her new married boyfriend on 'sugar baby' site

you could try one of these sites 😂

RosesAndHellebores · 14/01/2021 22:01

@wixced that was far from my experience at the gate of a highly performing London Independent. We were tidy, scruffy, well groomed, fat, thin, tall, short, British, American, Continental, quiet, loud, humble, braggy. Box of Allsorts really, just like the boys. Wealth ranged from multi- millionaires to bursary lads who lived in Peabody Buildings. Mostly however: lawyers, accountants, bankers, (the Drs/dentists scraped a bit). Working mothers were 50/50 and ranged from third sector, galleries, small to big businesswomen and some law/accountancy partners. Mostly families were privately educated and/or from supportive middle class backgrounds.

This thread is so funny.

“Think you’re young and good looking do ya? Well, are you married to a millionaire? Are ya??? No?? Then you can’t be as young or good looking as you think, eh?”

As if youth and good looks are only proved by marrying a rich bloke, thus anyone who doesn’t must be a minger. HAHAHAHA.
