The old saying goes,women marry up and men marry the same or down.It seems like women set a high priority on what a man can provide for them in the way of elevating their lifestyle and men don't seem to care about that.I'm going to say that a man's chances are about +700 odds that he will marry a woman who can elevate his lifestyle financially.Then when women do have money,they are tight with it and expect the man who has less money to pay for everything anyway.

If you want to see a high divorce rate,look at men who are married to women who are on the verge of inheriting alot of money from parents in ill health on the verge of passing away etc.

Anyone have any personal experiences that can back up my assumptions on this matter?

Hell,on first dates the woman has a guy all scoped and scouted out as to what his earning potential is,what assets he has and what he might acquire through inheritance and frivalous lawsuits.etc.Guys don't act that way on 1st dates to women.

my friend's daughter married a stock broker. he is not that rich, so i guess that is why they only had the ceremony and never signed any papers...saved a lot of hassle when they're getting divorced.

My women who I have lived with for years got us a House (4 bdr 2 bath brick) on reservation land and we only had to pay $3 a month so all the $ I had not paying rent helped financialy and when she gets Oil rights check she gives me cash.

Not me personally but a friend of mine is leaving his common law wife after 8 yrs together.

He is a gambler and brought nothing financially into the relationship, she had a house that was paid off. Now he wants, and will likely get half, in the early stage of this relationship he swore he wouldn't take any of her $$$ but now that they are fighting with each other it's his way of revenge.

I'd agree with your theory.
