  I have heard it said that you can't choose whom you love - but I say that you can choose whom you date. When I was dating, if I found out that the guy who was asking for my number was a mechanic or in the military, I just said, "no thanks."

  And I'll tell you why: I was looking for a partner, a man who shared my goals and dreams of a good life. I was looking for a man with an education past college (like me), an interest in the finer things (like me), and a love of travel (like me) who had already seen a lot of the world (like me).

  There is nothing wrong with marrying a wealthy man, or with looking for one. What IS wrong is marrying a man just for his money. I'm lucky that the man who met my criteria happens to be the love of my life, my reason for getting up in the morning. If it were any other way, it would be a mistake.

  Trophy husbands are no more demeaning than trophy wives… and no less. If a person has no more self-respect, self-drive or self-worth than to be a piece of arm candy/servant to another person because they have money then their life is a wasted one. A life of achieving fulfillment of hopes and dreams with a person you really connect with is more gratifying in the end, at least I would think. I’ve not met many trophy husbands but have interacted with some trophy wife’s, all of which were about as deep as my dogs water bowl on a hot day.

  You will never be happy or content in life until you have the mate that God created for you. Allow God to choose your mate and you will have things that money can't buy. Peace, joy and happiness.

  Blessings,

  What!?!

  Trophies and Bimbos are ppl too!

  You underhanded handunder!

  Shooo! Out of the kitchen this instant!

  Bimbos (dumb younger men and gals) will lead the uprising-you'll see.

  Trophy hubbie? Underaged Cougars? Jamaican me crazy!

  Do you know what it takes to keep one of these "bread winners"?

  Good luck!

  As soon as his or her midlife crisis hits-your on a website-

  in court-and about to get evicted-

  while the fox or the cougar is schmoozing in Barbados-

  not returning your texts-

  and forgetting Maria's softball game and Juniors' bar mitzvah!

  Bimbos dont marry for the money-Trophies do!

  They marry for the writeup and the writeoff!

  But which is which? Who has the power?

  The person who isnt too bright but willing to give love-The Bimbo.

  Or the person who has it all and doesn't know how to express it?

  The Trophy.

  Im in a long distant relationship-(sigh)-I'm a bimbo.

  We been together for over two years now.

  I dont know what I would do without my trophy.

  Everything I do-no matter where I go-we are together.

  Every song-every breath within me-is for my trophy.

  Bimbos and trophies-are ppl-just like you and me.

  Trophies and Bimbos are a match made in-well..the upper East Side.

  I chose a man I loved more than anything. He just happens to be serious eye-candy (total bonus). He stays home and takes care of our daughter and I work. I love this arrangement!

  This sounds like it's not enough for a frivolous woman to have sex with the guy. She wants to own him for life.

  The question is for how long can you keep this trophie husband or boyfriend? You have to keep up with him look as good as he does. and you both can be tropies together.

  Some of the poster are confused; If you read the article Trophy Husbands= rich dudes !!haha, sounds like the PC misnomers we use nowadays (Used = pre-owned, layoffs = downsizing etc…)…we do anything not to call it like it is….

  …and what is …these women are ladder climbers ( goldiggers) just like the women of yore, only difference is that those old women were honest and upfront about + society was different too; men were supposed to be the providers.!!!

  If these women of today want to be “taken care off” then why even bother wasting all those years at college /University? ; all that money that mom and dad spent on darling could have been better allocated on something else that would have brought some real “returns”…

  It takes no skill to land some fat cat …just show them some skin, play the flute in bed and you can close the deal….

  How come even when the guy is the trophy he is still supposed to be successful and rich. I guess i should not worry how i look and just try to become rich and i'll have women all over me I do think most women want to be taken of but it can mean many different things money, love, a feeling of security and power. women are alot more complicated than guys. i know that.
