Marrying for money

A few of my friends (and even more acquaintances) are in relationships with men who are a little bit older than them and who also make a lot more money than they do.  Part of me is a little jealous with their co-habitation arrangements.  Yes, I like paying my own way, but sometimes a little help is always appreciated.

They claim they love their men with all their heart, but that's partially true.  And although I know love is blind, a little cash helps with the ugly.  Sugar daddies are always sexy.

To prove this fact, I asked one of my friends if he'd still find his his man attractive if he was poor.  It took him two seconds to say, "No."

These guys are all young(ish), in shape, good looking with pleasant personalities and a modicum of intellect, so they could - technically - have anyone they wanted.  I was never young or sexy enough to garner the attention of anyone with money.  As it turns out, due to my old age and lukewarm looks, inevitably I would be the one who'd have to shell out the cash, even though I'm a firm believer of equality.

But, at the end of the day, looks fade and everyone gets old.  They'll enjoy the perks of youth, but if they have nothing to back it up with, then who cares?  No one wants to shack up with a fat old man, especially if he's broke.  I guess that means I have to start exercising and saving up for cosmetic surgery in a few years.
