“34%”
In a recent survey of women ages 18-54 when asked,
“What was the single most important factor in choosing a marriage
partner?” Thirty four percent responded personal wealth.
Personal wealth? What in God’s name does
money have to do with love, soul mate and forever? As males, should
we be mortified that one in three aren’t looking for a sparkling
personality or a winning smile but how fat our bank account is?
Or on the contrary, should we be happy that at least the numbers
are in our favor? We have a 2 out of 3 chance that who we are matters
more than our purchasing power!
When I first read the statistic in a magazine
I couldn’t help but take notice, “Thirty four percent!”
To me it seemed high. In an age when Destiny’s Child has a
number one hit with “Independent Women” and Jennifer Lopez
belts out, “My love don’t cost a thing” then who
the hell are these thirty four percent and how can single guys stay
away from them?
Now I guess if you see yourself as a nerd or a
wanna be Sugar Daddy in training you might not care. But it seems
to me the rest of us want to know who these thirty four percent
are. Maybe we could get them to wear buttons. You know something
catchy like, “You can’t have this ass without some cash!”
No they’d never go for that! Maybe, “With some money you’ll
get lucky!” That’s a little better.
On second thought, it just hit me that they don’t
want us to know because if we did we’d pack up our gear and
head upstream. Nope, sadly the thirty four percent are destined
to be secret agents. Only when it’s too late will their true
identities come out.
Is the secret to act poor, and if they fall for
us, then we can reveal we’re loaded? Or try to borrow money
for a month from them and see how they react? Nah, I doubt it. I
think man’s only ally is time. Don’t rush it, take it
slow and be yourself. I imagine these thirty four percent aren’t
very patient ladies (and I say that loosely). Yup that’s it:
“Take your time and see if your relationship turns to wine
or dies withers away on the vine.” Yeah, that should be our
motto.
