    can I name any women who have married for money?

    Puh-leeeze ...

    You want their maiden names or their married names?

    Oh wait ... I forgot ... enlightened women want a guy who can share his feelings and has a sense of humor and is kind to animals ...

    In all honesty, my ex-wife did marry me for love. I've had a couple of serious relationships where my financial status was not an issue. But I have seen many women go for the bank account ... to the extent of marrying deeply or somewhat closeted gay men.

    Money and power ... the primary attractors ... check out a site called "Intellectual Whores" - great insight into the reality of female mating urges.
