Why are there so many gold diggers?

Oh, I see. Yeah, you're right. My mum was married at a young age due to cultural expectations.
My thoughts exactly!

See I talk sense!!! I wish you'd convince the other girls on the forum of this :P

Haha, baby steps!
Although, you do come off a bit...uh...*notsurehowtowordwithoutoffending*...

awesome-genius-like

How so?

lol, my brother's fiance is pretty loaded, has her own house in london and he's a filmmaker, living with her, who only gets paid if a project comes his way, his "salary" definitely pales in comparison.

should i warn my future pabi, or is she practising equality?

awesome genius u got me sooooo confoooooozed

as i said...

If both people are out to get the best job they can, there is nothing wrong with that.

Its only an issue if your brother constantly goes on about how rich his finance is and how he's going to be maxing and relaxing once they're married....

my personal experiences

im punjabi

my sisters , both younger than me , both have

marry-a-rich-man syndrome

plus the girls i know socially, at parties and events, i just plain ignore them because they're all alarmingly superficial

maybe you're different

At least all that contemplation would be done by the side of the pool, as I drink gin and tonics while leering at the hunky pool boy. All before noon.

I'll probably come to a conclusion that there is no need to go anywhere, because I am already there. Provided of course that the pre-nup I signed was not overly disadvantageous to me, and that I actually save/channel away some of my husband's money for a rainy day.

I was only joking. I definitely don't have marry a rich man syndrome. Sorry to hear that your experiences have left you thinking most punjabi girls are golddiggers, lol.

lol maybe i exaggerate. I think the kind of girls i am exposed to are probably not the most ambitious or gifted ones. Im trying very hard with my sisters to direct them down the right path!

so what? how is this different from men wanting to go out with beautiful women?

Nah thats different.

Evolution has said we should have partners that are roughly as good-looking as we are.

For a woman or man to say I want to find someone who is much richer than me to provide for me and do all the work, is just wrong.

evolution says that females select a mate who is more likely to be able to provide for her and her child. that's nature, just as much as males wanting a female with better genes.

This is totally at odds with feminism's view that men and women are equal.
