I wouldn't and the MAIN reason is that I don't want her family become a liability to me. Trust me I have seen first hand, and it breaks families.

I had a conversation with a friend last week about this subject and he told me I was too picky. He even said that he would marry a waitress; I told him I wouldn't and he looked at me as if I was crazy. I want to marry a woman who is independent and who would be more of an asset than liability. Now I'm not saying I want a Paris Hilton but I would prefer my wife at least be from a upper middle class background. There are pros and cons to marrying chicks from humble backgrounds but the cons outweigh the pros for me. When a lot of humble chicks get a taste for money, they become greedier than even some rich chicks. This is due to the fact that they grew up with nothing and now feel that they are deserve the money since they grew up poor (like most celebrity divorces when a rich man marries a poor woman, she leaves with half and starts flossing with the guy's money like she's the baddest bitch).

I know I'm going to get shit thrown at me for this but I feel that this is a legit topic especially since most of us on this board have aspirations to become Big Swinging Dicks someday. With that said, let's discuss.

It's not about their background, it's about their own desire for a career. Let the impoverished parents live off the state, it's not your problem.

Just don't marry a girl who is looking to stay home and spend your money. By the way, the GS chick is probably looking to get knocked up by an MD and quit. Bitches hate working and that is why it's important to find one that will.

Dude, don't be a dumbass...the older you get the more you'll realize you just want someone that will make you happy when you come home from a 100 week at the office. It doesn't really matter what they do. Obviously you don't want someone that will just be out spending all your money on diamonds and vacations while your at the office. Hopefully they will at least have a decent 40 hour/week job. But come on man, don't be an idiot.

may be a little off topic but....

do you think a chick from a humble background is too picky for not wanting to marry a gigantic cunt like you? cons really outweigh the pros here. on one hand, you're a giant cunt. but on the other hand, you're a giant cunt. see the dilemma?

Well I agree the guy is a little tasteless.

My girls immediately family is quite wealthy, think middle wealthy in a foreign country. One of her family members married into one of the top 5 richest families in her country. The dad in that family is worth a cool 660 million. I found that out through wikipedia haha.

Although I knew none of this the first year we were dating so it never factored in that she was wealthy.

i ask you this...

1. what do you bring to the table?
2. rich or poor no one wants an idiot and you sound like one....

power of the P will win everytime.. you say you would not marry a waitress but when that great looking waitress is making your toes curl you feel like you found a little slice of heaven.... you;re a kid so i will guess dont have a lot of exp with women... but end of the day.. you dont hold as many cards as you think you do.. most women dont give a crap about yout job or your pay.. as long as you can provide.. and thats not diamonds and pearls... its simple stuff.. trust me.. you think you are a great package but women get offers everyday from men for stuff simply for having a P... its true...

OP i think what you're trying to avoid is gold diggers, not someone from a poor family. there are plenty of girls from humble backgrounds who don't care about money, and plenty of girls from rich backgrounds who do care about money. they don't go hand in hand.

I feel that my taste in women is more reasonable most other than guys. There are some guys that date chicks ONLY if they look like supermodels. Others will NOT date a chick unless the chick went to the same ivy league school as them. All I'm asking for is a chick to come from a well to do family. I'm not saying poor chicks are bad, I'm just saying that I would prefer to date and potentially marry a chick who is independent and comes from a financially stable family. I don't want her dad's money nor her money. You can call it tasteless but it's not like I'm trying to wife a hooker. Monty09, I'm very hard working and I feel that I can bring a lot to the table. All of the women whom I've dealt with in the past were smart/driven and came from educated upper middle class families. You don't know me nor my personal experiences, so why judge me?

this is hands down the worst thread on WSO. sure, trolls have said more outrageous shit but the difference here is that you're fucking serious. what do you mean by "why judge me"? nobody on WSO knows you personally so they make an assessment based on your posts you fucking dipshit.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
