Hot young gold diggers and old rich men
I had a realization a while back when I was looking at a photo of a rather unattractive rich old man and his young super model girlfriend.
While it's not impossible that this couple was truly in love despite the age differences let's face it, they probably weren't. Perhaps they cared for each other to some degree. Perhaps she loved how he treated her, and how he made her feel safe. Perhaps he loved the attention she gave him, but in love with each other as in soul mates, probably not.
Now many men might view this girl as an evil gold digger, thinking how dare she take advantage of this poor man who thinks she is in love with him. And many women might view this guy as a dirty old man who's disgusting for buying a woman for sex, but it occurred to me....
Not everyone is capable of feeling, nor looking for true love in a relationship. Perhaps they are "functional" sociopaths....many of them probably are. Or perhaps they're just incapable of or uninterested in true love, but in many instances, that rich old man isn't stupid. He knows she isn't in love with him. He knows she just likes him for his money and he essentially bought her, and he might even like that fact. There are men out there who like money, power, and pretty women above all else in life and they like being able to use that money and power to buy a woman he can have sex with, who will keep him company, and who he can show off to his friends, without having to worry about her wanting a deep emotional commitment.
The girl doesn't want true love either, and she knows her boyfriend isn't going to give it to her. She wants a fancy life style with material things, and a man who is mature and will treat her like royalty.
For these two individuals, this relationship is completely understood, entirely mutual, and might very well represent the apex of their emotional potential.
I don't think these types of individuals make up most of society, however. I think most people would prefer to have a relationship with the element of true love.

best ie. Donald Trump.
I agree with you, I think they realize that those models are after their money, but I don't think they give a s**t...., they think of it as a fair business deal (I give you money and fame, you give me sex with your hot body). Those men are usually emotionally immune to gold diggers tho, they would instantly replace her, regular men usually aren't.
But what annoys me is that people focus on couples with big age differences, or differences in degree of conventional beauty.
Women (and men too) can be gold-diggers even with partners their own age. Two people who are of similar age, similar attractiveness and similar income can still be so-called "superficial" in their reasons for dating each other, e.g. she wants a rich, handsome boy, and he wants a rich, pretty girl.
Anyway, making such accusations of "superficiality" is such a tired, disingenuous show of petite bourgeois moralism.
Donald Trump's wife is weird looking.
Anyway.. I think you will find MOST of these men know what they're doing. Unless you're a trust fund brat, they're smart enough to get rich in the first place.
It's not a case of "poor old rich man".
Many even go to dating sites to find a "sugar baby".

I don't get what the big deal about it is. Why do others care what kind of relationship a person has? People who don't know me may think it's creepy that I'm 28 & dating a 19year-old but I think most all of you who've read a few of my post know there is NOTHING creepy about it so I don't think I should be judging that couple or any others without knowing the details about their relationship like how they treat each other. I think it's great for them if it works for both of em

Yes I agree. If it works for them, butt out. People rave on and on about "gold digging women using a man for money" piss off - who are you, the relationship police? It's highly likely that he's using her for a trophy, too. Let people do what they want.
It's all about the old guy's ego. The women are just trophies. It's a mutual thing. It's like in nature where those small birds hang around a Rhino's back. If such an odd couple is even being photographed, it means they're in the lime light. The man gets the ego boost in front of other males while the female gets a bit of dough and notoriety by being seen with him. These women have goals and make use of what they have - sexy looks and a vagina. Someone told me that in the country of Turkey (I don't know if it's true or not) a really attractive poor person is most likely a prostitute. They make money because they are desired.
Eventually they move up the scale and they don't have to do that anymore. I knew an older man who had a whole line-up of young, beautiful women. He helped each one get stabilized.
They gave him company and sex and he helped them out with jobs, money, cloths - whatever they needed. I knew a secretary who had a sexual affair with her rich boss. He NEVER divorced his wife. The secretary got a lot of gifts that she would NEVER get from her socioeconomic peers...not to mention money for a nosejob!! He actually paid off this girl's mortgage for a very small row home in a not so nice part of Philadelphia (where she already lived). The girl and her mother lived together. The mom knew that they had nothing to lose and would only gain from this liason. The year's passed, the girl got dumped because the wife found out, the house is still her's along with the many gifts but she is still alone without any romantic or sincere love. When he dumped her, he wrote her a check for a tidy sum. See how it works? This girl "perfected" a certain way to look at a man that would make his genitals burn - he had to "have" her. By "have" I mean he wanted to stay on top of her as long as he could. The fact that he even could drove him mad! But as the years passed, that sultry look could not be used anymore. It only worked if you had a young face. You do something like that with an old face, somebody will end up spitting on you. The mistake she made was this: She needed to find out how to "stay" financially comfortable from this guy. She needed to know how he got rich and stayed that way. She needed to pick his brain - maybe she needed instruction on how to pick stocks, maybe he could've financed a training course for her where she could generate her own money. Charity always runs out. You know the old saying: Don't give a person a fish, TEACH them HOW TO FISH. What some of these girls think is that the old geezer will divorce his wife and take care of them forever. That's not going to happen! These geezers have social standing and do not need to be disgraced by their angry, jealous wives and their families. Women who do this need to understand that they'll are truly on their own and must be opportunistic without feeling. They have to look out for themself and understand that the wives get EVERTHING. The whores get nothing. The old geezer might grow to like even love the girl but his love of himself and his reputation are far more important. Usually girls like this are rather shocked when they see that these guys are married to beautiful women - some even more beautiful than them!! But the true golddiggers learn this at a very young age!! YES, it is true. They ARE sociopaths. They make a trade and get what they want. If they don't they make a LOT of TROUBLE!! They go to the tabloids!

Most people would find "The Donald" disgusting without his money. I can picture him coming to fix somebody's HVAC unit and them cringing because it's the same obnoxious guy that couldn't fix it before. ...with those fishy lips and ....that hair... EWWWW!! !

lol I can't stop laughing.
But imo, he's disgusting anyway.
I love that model's squint she's always working.
But I agree, it's a business deal these types of unions.
She's always social climbing too!! ! Can you just imagine what he's doing for her career!! !! !!
HOLY SMOKES!! !! ! A brush with the genitalia of greatness!! !! Seriously, who would you rather bang? Someone that can do wonders for you or someone that can't do anything for you? I start to remember all the ugly, fat, stupid idiots I slept with just because I wanted to be loved. They couldn't even give me that! If I could do it all over again, I would give myself only to those who could improve my life. Be it through money or social status! ...or even just because they were drop dead gorgeous. I can't believe I cast my pearls before swine. Not only that, but I let these jerks berate me and depress me...just for love. Love they didn't even feel. What a F'N shame!! I let them use my body anywhere from 1 to 3 years, they married other people and I had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to show for it! That's why golddiggers exist! They learn early what I had learned much, much later - as a matter of fact - too late.

While I'm certainly not "wealthy" - do have an above-average supply of discretionary income and I live in a fairly affluent area - so I might be able to offer some perspective from the "rich old man's" point of view.
Those guys like Trump, Hefner, etc are in a whole different league - they can give a woman celebrity status in addition to all the material things.
For the vast majority of guys with a little extra money, I'd say it's a lot like being a physically attractive woman - you may get more attention than you would otherwise, but the "signal-to-noise" ratio is much higher - all those people who lust after your body/wallet simply make it even more difficult to identify those who like you for "you".
I've mentioned this before, but I gave in an tried a "Sugar Daddy" website earlier this year and I "dated" a girl for a couple of months on this basis - it felt freaking awful, like I had crossed a line and was (permanently) a little less "me" than I was before. I gave it up and never regretted it.
I still find myself trying to attract women by showing off my wallet a little bit, it's the exact equivalent of a woman dressing a little provocatively to attract men, but all I end up with is less money and nothing to show for it, and it feels awful. I identify very strongly with what RightGalaxy wrote in this regard.
Whoa, didn't mean to ramble - I guess it's just the fact that it's a big issue for me right now...
I can understand why these things bothers people, but i agree with you too.
I think Hugh Hefner knows that it's about lifestyle for these girls but I don't think he's the type of man I was thinking of. I think he just gave up on the finding someone and took the second best thing.
Women (and men too) can be gold-diggers even with partners their own age. Two people who are of similar age, similar attractiveness and similar income can still be so-called "superficial" in their reasons for dating each other, e.g. she wants a rich, handsome boy, and he wants a rich, pretty girl.
Anyway, making such accusations of "superficiality" is such a tired, disingenuous show of petite bourgeois moralism.
Which is why I was careful to mention that this only applies to some couples.
