More power to you chief - congrats.
No one is disrespecting you or your choices. Surely as a future lawyer - you can see that there is more than one way to see the world....
These people have a very unsentimental view of the world and how it works. Why is that so hard for people to understand ?

I'm not arguing with your analysis that this all seems to be a mostly business-like transaction, but people have to be prepared for the consequences of basing a relationship on something other than love. If he loses his money, she's gone. When her looks start to fade, he moves on to a new pretty twenty something. It's ugly.
As a young woman who a) loves her job but b) has very little money, my biggest requirement for a good relationship is still a strong intellectual connection. This probably makes me unsentimental, but at least I'm not a golddigger.

It's not everyone's purpose in life to be humane.
I wish more people would just come out with it (maybe tattoo A**hole on their foreheads?) so the rest of can deal accordingly.

People are going to get all judgmental in a way that does not happen on the sex-work or cheating posts.
How predictable.
Cue the ex ball player talking about how these people have such dark empty souls.
Whatever.
You know exactly what you are doing when you play this game.
As a guy, you get a great looking companion and (hopefully) some great sex out of it.
As a woman, you get financial security, shopping sprees, status and hopefully some (great) sex out of it.
This is not about love. And you're an idiot (guy or girl) if you take it for anything more than a mutually beneficial transaction.
Now the real question they should asked, in the goal of advancing behavioral economics should have been:
"Are there any leading indicators gold diggers look for that will tell us if the economy is about to take off ?"
That would have been an interesting article.

If you are looking for leading indicators or some kind of financial analysis on gold digging, you're probably better off reading Forbes or the Economist.
And if the Forbes people are reading this, I would like to see a list of 2008's Top Ten Gold Diggers.

This made me GOL - guffaw out loud.
And if the golddiggers want to claw at each other for the rich men, go for it. Just stay away from my lower to middle class sweeties.
