A recent survey found that....

[Bbbananas]

64% of women would rather marry a rich man than have a career.

Discuss....

[pa___ul3]

thank god for that other 36%!

[andy-hughes]

The present Mrs Hughes must be one of the 32% - she has an excellent career, and is richer than me!

That said, the crux of the survey was ' ... would rather marry ...' - she is away working today, should I broach the subject when we meet up for our evening meal later?

[squarebear]

I'm surprised it's that low. We work to live, not the other way round.

[tiggerblue10]

I couldn't find a rich man so I had to make do with a career.

[tiggerblue10]

And not a very good one at that.

[Bbbananas]

Andy - if 64% would, and your wife is one of the 32% that wouldn't - what would the other 4% choose?!!!!

[mccfluff]

depends on how fit he is i suppose :-)

[sandyRoe]

Did they not say they'd rather marry a rich man than have a carer?

[andy-hughes]

Salla - well they always have the option of coming round to teach me how to add up to one hundred - obviously a lesson I missed at school!!!

[Bbbananas]

nice one sandy....

[society]

A carer, yes. :-)

[Bbbananas]

Only being pedantic andy x

I am hopeless at maths (well, my personal finances and spending anyway - is that the same thing?!!)

[LoftyLottie]

Have never fancied being a career person although I always had interesting 'jobs'. I certainly wouldn't marry for money though, but it would be an added bonus if the bloke I wanted to marry was rich as well.

(The one I married wasn't - but I don't feel like I have missed out!!)

[andy-hughes]

And quite right too sal!

A x

I would go along with that statistic.

I'd rather my oh had a bit of wedge and I could just work in Tesco or something. I don't think I'm really cut out for a career. Unfortunatley he doesn't so I have to. :o(
