if you failed to achieve your dreams, would you content yourself with marrying rich?

<p>Being content with failing to achieve one’s dreams, and resorting to living vicariously through someone else to feel excitement in one’s now empty shell of a life.</p>

<p>[fuzzleshnops] Why not go after a super hot guy at Emory? Seems reasonable.</p>

<p>I thought the author’s term “dreams” meant more along the lines of having a lucrative career choice and doing amazing things with your life.</p>

<p>But I guess if there person only means dreams, then that’s always bad.</p>

<p>My dream is to be help people with whatever job I do, to marry a humble passionate man, to raise kind children… to be self actualized.</p>

<p>Call me simple, but I don’t care.</p>

<p>Of course, if those don’t come true eventually, I will be sad.</p>

<p>I’ve had super hot guys at Emory approach me. They don’t have this grace about them that I’m drawn to.</p>

<p><of course,=“” if=“” those=“” don’t=“” come=“” true=“” eventually,=“” i=“” will=“” be=“” sad.=“”></of></p>

<p>See, if you’re anticommital and don’t want to get married, those wouldn’t be a problem and you wouldn’t have to worry about failing.</p>

<p>By the way, I graduated from University of melin720. Super good education. </p>

<p>If you had super hot guys at Emory approach you, then you shouldn’t worry about finding your type of guy.</p>

<p>I would rather love the person I’m married to and have her love me back than have her be rich. The love should have a better relation to happiness than money.</p>

<p>Plus my dreams are basically to be a warlord, or be high up in a coup d’etat or some other sort of rebellion… Which is pretty unrealistic. Pretty much not going to achieve them.</p>

<p>But I thrive on close relationships with people. I love telling people my feelings and having them tell me their feelings. I love being there for people, and I really appreciate when they are there for me. I love love. I think it would be wonderful to have someone to do this everyday for the rest of my life.</p>

<p>I’m not into stereotypically hot guys. Hot gets old fast. I’m more into normal ones and finding beauty in their idiosyncrasies and flaws.</p>

<p>My dream is to be married to my profession. That’s it. Maybe become a CIA field agent, which basically destroys the chance of getting married. Suits people like me who are anticommital.</p>

<hr>

<p>By the way, who is interested in becoming a field agent in CIA? Any type of field agent. There are people out there who take no-marriage-allowed jobs for a reason.</p>

<p>They can be hot AND have the qualities you want. You used the word stereotypical, so obviously you acknowledge that there are exceptions.</p>

<p>did not know. will google after this post. :)</p>

<p>^And if you are already married, be prepared to be away from your wife and children most of the time during the year. Makes marriage pointless.</p>

<p>See <a href=“https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol47no1/article10.html[/url]”>https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol47no1/article10.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Has a quote: “…intelligence officer memoirs rarely touch on the lifestyle of family members living in the center of a secret life and the incalculable costs that they may pay.”</p>

<p>Incalculable costs.</p>

<p>Definitely suits those who aren’t looking for marriages. </p>

<p>K gonna ask my buddy melin720 and see if he’s interested.</p>

<p>I would definitely marry rich, and shoot for my dream of being a stay at home husband.</p>

<p>Hahahahaha. I hope you succeed, adam4homes.</p>

<p>I’d like a job and a wife. Anything else is gravy.</p>

<p>I approve, TCBH. You get some brownie points.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Amusingly enough, I have never heard anyone over 30 say something like this.</p>

<p>I would never marry simply for money. Marriage is a commitment between people who love each other, not a money making operation.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t marry simply for the money either. But it’s definitely not bad to have.
No, I wouldn’t be content marrying rich to compensate for my failed dreams.</p>

<p>hahaha, interesting replies.</p>

<p>well my original post was inclusive of both marrying rich and marrying someone else who might achieve your dreams. :wink: Although I guess that that people thought more of the money part cuz that was the part in the title post.</p>

<p>i get it all now so i want it all in the future. Call me rapacious but rich itself just can’t do all.
if it happened to be the wrong man, i would happily divorce and take half the money. having nothing to lose is a dream for sure…
unless i’m desperate to maintain my lifestyle which would not happen unless i and my family go broke in the future and i have an extremely high profile, id not marry FOR money though i will still possibly marry rich</p>
