If you were/are single, would you ever...

I am an extremely private person so I certainly would NOT want to be married to someone famous and be under public scrutiny, my life would never be my own and anything I do whether it's in good taste or not would be sprawled over the tabloids. That is no life. I wouldn't mind being rich though that part I would love but without the partner. I am strictly a single and would never entertain a relationship with anyone famous, non-famous or infamous LOL! Besides I also have a jealous streak in me but that I think is down to low self esteem and I would be paranoid that my partner was being unfaithful if they were surrounded with glam models and film stars all day long!

Yes, why not? If she were famous, talented, or already filthy rich, and she still agrees to marry a worthless SOB like me, then I would take it that she still sees something in me that is lacking in her life. So, why not? If it doesn't turn out, then what have I got to lose? Maybe time, but that's nothing. I'm the guy here. And there is so much to gain.

Maybe this is one version of the ideal: There is potential for a really great life if you have a loving couple or family that are solid individuals with good relationships. They understand God, life's purpose and the limited value of any temporal things. Then you add money to the mix, but not so much that it controls the people or changes who they are. That could be the best scenario. I say that only because I know that there is a lot of stress for people who live paycheck to paycheck, always lacking funds and having to tell their kids no most of the time. That can be a hard life. djbtol

Haha...Karen, I'm single now. I hope my partners in the future is the one who has the same faith as mine, and also understand me, love me. Regarding money, I just want it enough for our basic daily life. That's okay. Hope I will meet him soon

I'll go for a woman who fear God and will love God more than me. Because when her relationship to God is great then, surely her relationship with me will also be great.

I am single but so far I have never wanted to be married to someone famous or filthy rich, why? because I think I won't deserve him in other words I won't be good enough for him. I have some idols right now, they are Japanese singers, they really are beauties and of course filthy rich, but I never want to marry them unless they love me first which is in almost all the ways are impossible.

I think you are right. Most rich and famous people would have some qualities close to that. Even though there are exceptions but it's not really feasible to balance their personal and professional life. Coming to your question, I would not marry someone like that, if I could avoid that. What I mean is, you never know when and how you are in love. Love is a strange thing. It makes you do stuffs that you never would have dreamt of otherwise! Hope you get my point Karen.

Hey Karen! I think that I pretty much agree with you! Most people who are famous or have lots of money are so into themselves that they don't really know who they really are anyway! If you were to take away their money, their toys, their fame then they would probably fall apart! In fact, we've seen it happen to many celebs who once were famous and who lost everything and now nobody cares about them and they have nothing, not even their money! I think I would still rather be me, but maybe with just a bit more money so that I wouldn't have to worry so much about my bills! But, I still love myself and my friends and don't want to change that part of my life!

For me, I don't mind if i marry a famous,poor, talented or smart. The important thing that I've seen is love. To have a relationship to make money is a kind of cheat for me. Because that will cheat what our heart feel about...?

I think being married to or getting married to a celebrity is asking for trouble. Only because in most cases they're very emotionally unstable. If you are sincere about the relationship they may stay with you and all you'd have to deal with is the media scrutinizing your relationship. Nine times out of ten they're so used to people using them that you'll end up being used and abused and dumped just because they wanted to do it before you could do it to them, even if you had no intentions to do so.

Hi Karen, I never had simple criteria in selecting a mate---the person whom i love and will love me even if i have white hair and someone who's willing to grow old with me and still see himself so inloved like me. i used my heart and i never went wrong. i am blessed with a hubby like him...the ever wind beneath my wings! he is talented-- he's a journalist! a person who has a great passion in writing!

I am single and I wouldn't want to be married to someone famous, extremely talented or filthy rich. These qualities are good, but it would also involve supreme sacrifices. If my husband is someone famous am sure I'll be fighting off girls who would want my husband for his fame. If my husband is filthy rich, he might not be that smart or good looking and I will not be in love no matter how much money he has. If my husband is extremely talented, he might also be eccentric and it would be hard to have an easy and carefree life. No one can have every good qualities in life. I'd rather marry a simple, but responsible guy. it wouldn't hurt if he's also good looking. :-)

if i am single, i would want to be married to someone that loves me

Of course I wouldnt mind marrying someone with resources but its not a requirement. When I choose to be with someone, the words "rich" or "famous" dont cross my mind. If I end up with someone who is rich and famous, it would be unintentional. Not because I scoped out a celebrity

Hm, interesting... On the one hand, I could see being with somebody who could teach me something I'm interested in. But on the other hand, who wants to be in a relationship with somebody who's "the teacher". Who want's to be in a subordinate position to somebody you're supposed to be equal with. And THEN there's the time dedicated to their art, the hangers on trying to get with the person, etc. Maybe not...

Good morning Karen, I don't want to be married to anyone rich, poor, handsome, ugly, fat, thin, old or young, lol. get my drift, lol.

Someone famous! Like Katrina Kaif, Amitabh Bachchan, Arnold, Tom Cruise?? Well, my answer would be a big "NO" because these people can be good for world but they can't give time to their family and I want to enjoy my time with my family!

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, Well, I think and am sure to think the way you think. Their love is ot between both, it is with profession and Art. After that is full-flled,they will be seperated. But in real love such things do not have any place. Real love never looks for such physical greatness in different fields. So you may watch that big marriages have been fruitless, they get seperated within less than on enight. May God bless You and have a great time.

I'm sorry for the late reply. karen. Sorry also to note about your pass. I hope that your happier than ever before. There are bad husband out there that never give love to their partner but give them hurt and pain... Thanks your advice I like foriegn lady because i think they are good in terms of relationship. I don't know if I am mistakenly Identify them but I hope they are...? But I wait for the right lady that really understand my feelings and love me as I am...Have a nice day and wish you to have a good a happy life

Ah, I don't know. That's a tuffy. I have never wanted to be married, but the idea of talented seems the most attractive to me. I admire girls that have some skill in something. I'll admit I tend to feel a bit inferior around them, but I still admire that ability whatever it might be. Famous is a bit of a downer to me, because so few people seem to be able to handle being famous. The list of 'famous' people whose lives ended in ruin, seems nearly endless. Rich, depends really. First because "rich" is subjective. To 90% of the world, the way I live with my $20K yearly income is massively rich. So what do you mean by rich? Bill Gates with an underground home on 50 acres? I have no need of that. About the only thing I would clearly require money wise, is that any women I would ever consider being with, couldn't have half or more of their yearly income, in debt. I have met, and seen people get married to a spouse that earns $40K a year, and has $80K worth of credit cards, car loans, and so on. Then they seem shocked when they have marriage problems later over money. I'm not playing that game.
