Superficiality and the Greencard

Realistically, how or why is this any different from girls here who marry thug douche-bags that are not good looking?

Is that why your wife married you?

now why'd ya have to go and drag me into this?

FYI, your constant identity crisis creeps me out, too. keep a user name for more than a month, would ya?

You get creeped out by message board user names? If that's true, I doubt you'd have the courage to set foot outside your door.

Why do you assume he was referring to you? It's pretty interesting.

I could be wrong, but I think JAS was making a funny.

I trust I'm about to be treated to another of The Shooters armchair psych profiles, how special.

It's a bit like having Dr Lecter as a family GP.

they might not have anything else to offer besides what's in their wallet.

Well, if that's true, then why is it wrong for them to offer what's in their wallet? They've got nothing else!

Quiet on what topic? You're the one who brought up women marrying douchebags. Or did your wife marry you for your charming personality?

I was just reading several threads (which shall remain nameless) where fraud was clear from the get go. And in several of these threads, it seems that the USC has either commented on his/her physical features/situation 'I'm heavy set, middle aged' etc. Or there's pictures where the beneficiary was clearly wayyy hotter than the OP.

I really don't want this to be a flame war, but it's no secret that the prospect of a GC is an equalizer in many relationships where people get married to others whom they clearly don't even know inside and out. I am NOT referring to everyone here, just on the extreme cases. I posted this in OT because I don't want to kick anyone while they're down by posting it in the Effects forum. I have always had a theory that some of the older modest looking men on here would find life long bliss with the older modest looking women here. Yet it seems neither want each other, and both gravitate towards younger, hotter, foreign born SOs. Each claims to want 'family values/etc' yet, I find they each put looks ahead of that in terms of significance. The men put looks above substance, claiming American women are all golddiggers, yet accomplished American women will petition men with no money and hand them whatever they want. When it all blows up in flames, each claims the partner was 'Americanized' or something similar.

Anyone else find that strange? Why are looks so damned important when choosing a spouse???

I will admit physical attraction was on my mind; my goodness look at me I am at best average and overweight, (so very hypocritical of myself if you ask me)

But I wanted more and for what ever reason GOD granted me both.

I love Jo more than anything and praise GOD for her nightly.

My wife is only 2 years younger than me, but she is an extraordinary beauty.

So...consequently, I get high5s from the guys for my 'young' trophy bride ...but I sometimes wonder if some people who don't know us think that she married an old chopvfck!

Well said, brother. Its good to be able to receive blessings, and graceful to have the wisdom to acknowledge them!

Blessings to you and wife,
