Author redheaded-squirrel Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Would you be very specific? How exactly do they treat women that you like? I'm personally baffled by your post. You separate these men into: how (you think) they treat women, and how they might be in every other area of their lives. Don't you think the one bleeds into the other? That is, if a guy is dishonest in business, don't you expect that same guy to be honest with you? It's his way of relating to the world. For myself, I look for people with integrity, (which precludes what you say above), who have values similar to my own, who are generous, kind, intelligent. They need these qualities in all areas of their lives. Funny is a great bonus. Money is immaterial. I can be specific. The kind of "old money" people I do know have some of the longest lasting marriages around, usually three or four children and not only the husbands, but also the wives are highly accomplished in their own areas of business or charity, etc. "Power couples" is what I would call them. And despite their sometimes shady ways of doing business behind closed doors (I mean through political connections, not mafia!), they are not those kinds of sexist pigs that date a different playmate every month and only care about "swag" and flashy stuff. I have only seen them treat their wives and their female friends and daughter like ladies. That's why I am still convinced that the two areas of their behaviour don't overlap. But as I've said, that is just my personal experience. Yours may be different. Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Not sure this will set your mind at ease, but most of our human foibles cross every socio-economic line. Good breeding doesn't mean someone won't cheat. Neither does good manners. In the end, you pick someone who holds up their end of the partnership and who you like to smush on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
