Kind of an odd question, but if you were filthy rich but very lonely and unsuccessful in love... would you want a trophy spouse? By that I mean someone who appeals to you physically, who is amenable to sex and a marriage that's not based on love.

those circumstances are really likely to get some people to grab as much $$$ as they can and run, so no.

Fair enough, but these days you have pre-nups and all that to protect yourself.

No, but asexual so it's a little different

I wouldn't mind a companion or roommate marriage setup if we were friends

That's what I was thinking. I don't think I'd mind paying for companionship, presuming we had some kind of chemistry. I don't think I'd go so far as legal binding and bed sharing. I guess that's too... I dunno. Even if I was a sexual person, I guess I'd want someone a bit more willing? Someone less transactional.

There's a romantic part of me that JUST WON'T DIE.

No. If they were only in it for the money they'd probably cheat (which I guess would only be natural, considering) and even if they didn't I think I'd get tired of being married to someone I didn't love.

No, I would just get a bunch of dogs.

Nope. I guess I'd like a platonic companion, but I'd probably feel even worse knowing they were just being nice to me for my money.

If I was filthy rich, I feel like I could get someone to love me, or come within shooting distance of it anyway.

Nah, I'd rather just be alone with some cats.

I think I'd rather have a bunch of lovers.

Not a trophy spouse, but I could see marrying someone for companionship if they were looking for the same thing.

Not based on love? I honestly don't have the self-esteem for that. I mean, if I were rich, I might have more opportunity to meet people who are very attractive to me, and who knows, maybe I'd initially interest them because I had money. But it's depressing to think that I wouldn't be loved.

Yes. TBH, I'm not sure if I care about love or not. As long as we get along and the sex is good, I don't really need the love part.

I'm ace. Sex would not be a factor.
I can see marrying someone I care about to protect or provide for them. But I'm pretty sure it would still be about love.

I'm very lonely, poor, and unsuccessful in love because men find my face unattractive.

No. I live in an area where trophy wives are common and it's just odd to me. I get it, but having seen a few such marriages firsthand, no thanks. (The trophy wife is either ditched for yet another younger hotter model or she winds up having a senile old patient for a husband and winds up having to take care of him like a nurse. I understand "in sickness and in health", but when your husband is 20-30 years older than you are, he's gonna hit old age that many years before you, too. And if he has kids with a previous wife, it's highly likely that most of his money will go to them rather than you when he kicks the bucket. Then you get to duke it out with the kids in court for years, and courts tend to favor the kids [see Anna Nicole Smith]. So yeah, no.)

Why would you not just go to a red-light district or hire a prostitute? You help stimulate the economy that way, and if you get caught, you have enough money to get away with it.

Nah. I'm already romantically unsuccessful, and I don't care that much. I can't see that changing if I got rich.
I could maybe see myself hiring a companion, a la lonely rich ladies in Agatha Christie novels... "Wanted: Live-in vompanion, willing to endure rants about bad punctuation and the stupidity of the antivax movement. Must like dogs."

Idk about a spouse but i would be okay with being a lesbian sugar mommy for temporary relationships

Considering I don't care for sex I would say nope. I have much better ideas on how to spend my money.

Nope. :) If I, say, won that recent powerball lottery, I would be that dotty old recluse who leaves what's left of her fortune to charity. A trophy husband/wife would just be a nuisance. I'd truly have to love someone (and they love me) to stand having them around 24/7.

No, because without reciprocated emotional intimacy I wouldn't really want to have sex, and if I was unusually horny one day I might hire a prostitute, but probably not. I can only remember being that physically desperate once, and the feeling didn't last long. Also I'm not rich but the rest of that description is already pretty accurate.

Nope, but I'm ace so that may be a factor. I would maybe buy a house and pay for a bunch of my friends to live in it though so we can all hang out and raise our families together. I can be the warm, loving, rich aunt c:

Personally, no.

I couldn't fault anyone for feeling lonely, though.
