Marrying for money

Granting that Melania married Trump for money. Is it wrong?

After reading the biography of the FLOTUS from Wikipedia, I can't make a judgment that she married for money.

I would say this, though: anyone who claims she did is not only condescending but lacking self respect.

I'm sure she would have had far better offer, I'd think.
Marriage for money. LJ. Not really on my agenda, although I avoid non asset, uneducated, GD's. One may therefore ask what I'm doing with all the pobrecitas on this site. Well, looking for that pearl in the deep seagrass, one might say.
Aa you put smile on my face. comfort

I'd never ever marry for money, although at my current ad situation, it'd be great if I were with someone who has some.

Aa on our beautiful FLOTUS, would you say she did?
I would say she may have at the time I read something about her being broke so along came Trump who likes beautiful women he was in the market for one at time. but the saying money can't buy you love.
I didn't come across that part. Having been with him for that long, I'd say she didn't just do it for that reason.
Jerry I'm sure that's what men do but for marriage purposes, I wouldn't suppose money is all the primary motives.
Well, I didn't say that that's how I do things; I was pretty surprised at the candor of my friend's remark.

Everybody's different. It makes sense to use any vetting process that works for YOU to determine your proposed mate(s)' motives...but I don't think a lot of people are all that thorough.

Seems to me that Mr. and Mrs. Trump are content with their arrangement...
Don't all women marry with some consideration for the man's ability to protect and provide for her and her children? That's a very old genetic trait. The women who didn't have that trait ended up dying alone in the woods with their child when her husband failed. Today the state is the husband of most women. They can declare, "I don't need any man" but without the state stealing money from men to support their lifestyle they would be ... in the woods with their dying child.

Men pick women who can give them healthy children and who have a good emotional response so they know she will look after the children. Trump chose Melania because she is from the top 1% of females. He got her because he is from the top 1% of men who could protect and provide her needs. Marriage is a contract not some emotional feeling. They both got what they wanted and I think they should be happy

I think if all men had a Melania there would be no war
I grew up in that principle Elle.

My true story. When I was young, part of our value and culture is marriage arrangement. Had nothing to do with love. Parents and the whole immediate family members will decide who amongst the suitors can best provide a good life based from economic stand point. My parents had the chance to market me to the richest proposals from the town and nearby villages but my dad said: "just go to school, get a degree and make your own life ". I did. I'm a lucky person with my parents who gave me a choice. My sister (older) took the practice. I can say I have had a happier life, although she never complained.
Most women would do anything for money, providing it was the right amount. A life of luxury is a woman's priority and she would escape any relationship in order to achieve that.
Quite, LJ. I recall a line from a famous actress/singer. Might have been that hot Kate Smith, but correct me if I err. "I've been poor, and I've been rich---rich is better". But the beautiful and multitalented FLOTUS, dear wife of out brilliant President, probably could have married any number of powerful men. University graduate, multilingual (in the EU sense), nice family, demure--yet not overly quiescent, and easy on the eyes. So many angry, hate speech filled, unloved liberal women say terrible things about her. I've just listed all their reasons for being such sorry witches, in this little regard.
roll eyes

Idiotic diatribe
That's my thinking, too Aa.
I think the first lady has class and looks to be enjoying what she does.
Blue I have no doubt she does.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. wave
Yep, predictable. If our FLOTUS looked like Frau Merkel, these hopeless, lonely, unattached TDS afflicted females would probably be a bit kinder to her.
I think we can be certain Mr Merkel didn't marry for looks

... and neither did she
Predictable Canuck nursie reflexively driven response. Cavorts with, but doesn't at all look like, all those hopeless lonely females. Goddess hasn't been kind to most.
