I have 4 daughters. I hope they marry rich guys. I have other criteria, too, but rich is definitely on the list.

so, only posing as rich is enough?

Why? That's a very stupid criteria. You'd want them to marry smart and decent guys, regardless of their wealth...

"Smart" and "decent" are desirable qualities, but it is questionable whether or not they can provide a better life for a woman than wealth. Poverty is known to be a true killer of any kind of romance and love. It doesn't seem far fetched to agree that being wealthy and enjoying a stress-free lifestyle can be an aphrodisiac.

Also, I think that poverty is actually more correlated to stupidity and rudeness. I've read that stress can literally make your brain shrink from the excess of cortisol. Rich people are generally labeled with undesirable properties, which (at least in my case) often comes from a personal bias - it feels unfair to watch someone else have everything I want, so at least they're a bad person and I'm not, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

To sidetrack a little bit:

> That's a very stupid criteria.

This is completely redundant - your point would be perfectly conveyed without this sentence. HN guidelines phrase it this way:

    When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

I guess I know whose daughters I won't be dating.

That's an odd way of proclaiming your lack of finantial assets.

I hope your daughters all find love and live happy, fulfilling lives with partners that have no cases on their android phones.

That sounds very strange to me. Where do you live? I'm from Belgium, and basically with any decent job you can afford everything you need to be happy.

I have 3 daughters and 1 son.
