Would you go for an old man with money or a young man without money?  email this discussion to a friend?

I know this is a silly question to ask, but I'm just curious to know the opinions from other mylotters, as this situation is happening in real life. Nowadays, I see more and more young and pretty girls being married to men as old as their dads. Either the reason for this is a true love or just for security, I'm not sure.
Some of the girls who are married to much older men say it's because, older men are more responsible, understanding and sweet to their brides than young men are, but I want to know more, that's why I posted this here.
If you were a pretty young girl, 18-25 yrs old, and you had two suitors- say the first one was in his 50's or above, and he had handsome money ; the other one was a young guy, age 18-30, and he just had an ordinary job with a monthly pay from minimum to average. Say these men were both nice and sincere to you, whom would you choose to marry and why?

Oh wow...this is interresting. Looking back at my life, I've never had it easy like my sister does. Her man is very good looking and wealthy. As I'm struggling to get my children clothed, she goes out and sends money my way without batting an eyelash.

To answer your question...since both men love me the same, I'd definately go for the older one. Yes, he's older and could quite possibly be my father's age, at least he'll have the financial line already secured. There's nothing romantic about struggling to pay your bills.

somehow, you maybe right to choose an old man with money, it's just being practical, esp nowadays that life is getting harder. It's always a pain in the butt to struggle for money enable to pay bills.

Hello marylots! To be very honest I would probably choose the older man with money than a young man without money. I don't really care about the age of the person as long as I love him and as long as he can give me good life and security. I got married to a man older than me and I love him so much. When we are together we can't feel our big age difference. Sometimes I even felt I am older than him.

JEepers mine is old and doesn't have money so I don't know what that makes me. LOL I don't think I thought about it too much. Sure I wish he was younger and had more money, but then I wish I was younger and had more money too.

I think if I had to pick one it would be a young man so that we have more years together. I think that I need to make my own money if I can enjoy using it.

Your Sweet, any man would fall for you. it's good to see women like you. not like other ladies here who only go for the money of their partners and pretend they love him. they sicken me. anyway, take care

marylots (36)   ranked 2,894 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

More years with your young man! Wow..that's a true love! Many young men would appreciate that!

Before, I have a boyfriend who has same age with me. But as we go along the relationship, I feel that he is not that mature enough to handle some problems. Sometimes, I am the one who is handling the problem by myself.I don't even find him that responsible in doing some task.Because of that, I feel so unhappy and not satisfied with the relationship. I broke up with him and realized that if I will love again, I must think wisely.After two years, I met this man who is older than me.Honestly, he looks more mature than his real age and we can be said as "father and daughter" although he is not that old to be my father. I can say that I love him more than my young boyfriend. He is also richer than my young bf so I can say that I am more secured on him rather than on my ex. Aside from that, he is more experienced. He knows a lot of things. Unlike having a relationship with the young one, having a relationship with my bf today is quite peaceful.While I find myself in a relationship that always falls into quarrels before, it is not like that now.Whenever problem comes, my bf can handle it wisely and solve it immediately. He is more calm and we not quarrel on one issue for days.I can say that I prefer old man with money rather than young without money but of course there must always be the presence of love.


marylots (36)   ranked 2,894 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

It's good to know that you also consider the presence of love in your friendship with your old man. You're both lucky to have each other!

for me, if I don't love the person who has a lot of money, I won't marry him. because money is only a part of our life. for the marriage, love places in the important position. if you have the love, I think you can have a happy marriage. and you can overcome all the difficulties.

Women get left in life by themselves enough without bringing it on themselves. I would never marry a man lots older than me. My husband and I are a year apart and I like that. We have lots more in common than an older man and I would have had. I married a man without any money, in the Air Force and you drew hardly anything back then. I had a job. But then, our apartment rent was only $50 a month. thumbup Those were the days!! We will never see times like that again.

I would take the older guy anytime.

Wow, nchap36, that's fantastic! Just be careful to say words like that, our posts are published on the web. Many old folks might come to take you and you may just end up hiding under a table.

If my age is between 18-25, for sure I chose the younger one, until now I am still struggling (if that comes )whether if I gonna marry someone who can be my father and grandfather, with lots of money.....knowing that I am 33 years old..., I am really not sure marylots... it depends maybe if I'd fall in love to an older man, its just that money can't buy true happiness....well, let's see... who knows?happy wink


marylots (36)   ranked 2,894 out of 26,925 in people  4 years ago

It's up to you if you would fall for an old man in the future, but all what I can say is, you're a very beautiful girl, so neither an old man with money nor a young man without money deserves you. I suggest you would go for a man who is both young and rich! Better start looking now, for your beauty may fade away in 7 years.
