After thinking about your question, I know of two such cases within my family. In both cases, the girls were average-to-below average looking and guys were relatively better. By average i mean, mediocre looks (one is kinda fat), so so personality and not** too stellar education (one was studying to be a nurse** and the other a high school grad only… both are now living it up on their hubby’s money at home :)).
Second case, the guy was studying on a student visa in an average state university and after studies, couldnt find a job to keep him in US and then his parents started the process for marriage to someone who could keep him there. He ended up marrying this woman, who otherwise would not have gotten such a great looking guy as husband IMO. He too worked very hard after marriage, became a CA and is one of the richest people I know personally of. These guys too have 2 kids (both boys too… seems like some pattern here lol) …Infact in Pak, they could have found better wives if visa issue was not important to them. If you looked at their wedding photos, you would probably question the match and still looking at them together makes me wonder how those guys could do so much better. And these girls found husbands which were certainly beyond their reach normally. Both started off as quite normal couples, working hard to feed themselves and to pay their bills, but through their hardwork together reached great heights.
Sorry if this is off topic, but is it just me or is this post a little offensive?
Nursing is a truly noble choice of profession and only the ones who really have it in them to work hard in school and continue to work hard in their careers can be successful as nurses
Seriously? Hubby’s money? Marriage is a two-way relationship. Hubby wouldn’t have had any money if it weren’t for a good wife, regardless of visa status! So how is it not the wife’s money as well?
Better wives? You mean better looking wives. There’s a very big difference. And I’m pretty sure they found extremely good wives, since (as you said) they’ve been happily married for many years, and are living successful lives!
No I’m not a nurse, nor am I “average looking” and looking to mooch off my husband’s money.
Good examples though.
