True or false, all women marry for money, and all men marry for sex?

Question

This question was inspired by another user that insisted that it was true, and kept repeating the same shit over and over. I'm posting this to prove her wrong, so I'm hoping GAG votes false.

Please don't forget to comment, every comment gets a like.

I think a motivator for many women is not money but security. They aren't all gold diggers. It's not like they will only marry rich guys. But it's completely reasonable for them to want a guy who has a head on his shoulders and a good work ethic; a guy who wants the best for them and will do his best to be a good provider. They want a man who makes them feel safe and secure; someone they can look up to and trust. What's the alternative, a worthless deadbeat or worse?
And yes, there is love. Women fall in love. It's up to a man to prove that he is worthy, not by showering them with riches, but by being admirable. Women also want a deep connection with a best friend. And most want good sex.

I think sex is a big motivator for men. Many guys get married thinking that they will get steady sex. They love women's femininity. But for most guys there is much more - deep friendship, trust, someone to share the burdens of life, a work mate who will help to build a better life for them both. Whey want a woman who is admirable.

For many people, there is also the desire for children.

False.
What about marrying and make it a mission and a venture that takes serious work behind it, solid foundations, and a willingness to make an effort that will last for decades? That's the kind of view I take for all my endeavors - marriage, politics, and work. Not one, not five, not ten years, but for life.
Honestas, Industria, Prudentia - Honesty, work and common sense - those are the three core values people should live by, although nowadays people are scared off of those and the thought of serious work.

Sluts, whores, cheap bimbos, etc. marry for money. They, after all, have little of worth to offer a decent guy. Just look at celebrity women most, not all but the majority, of them aren't worth much of anything - fact people like the Kardashians my dog has far more value.

And the same could be said of guys. Cheap men who have little worth to a decent woman, and will likely contribute little of actual value to a family setting, are the ones who marry for sex.

Not everyone is going to fit in the same box. Life would be boring is this was true. I personally wouldn’t choose money over my enjoyment of a healthy and happy relationship. I myself would rather be alone and keep searching.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

If women only married for money, every guy working at an entry level job would be single.

hahahmm · Answer

Marriage makes tighter family bonds and is a higher commitment level than other relationships. In theory it’s less likely that a married women is disloyal than unmarried. Of course reality varies depending on which woman a guy picks AND if he can promote the right relationship. In the old days it was also a way to establish paternity. There was no such thing as a bastard inheriting or being entitled to child support.

Divorce is potentially very expensive for a guy so I’d think that only broke guys & guys with no ambitions would think of it as a way to get sex in a world full of women who sleep with anyone/thing.

Kaamraj · Answer

The only reason the institution of marriage exists is because of children and in settled complex societies children need parenting and resource provisioning to grow up and be competitive and good citizens The family is the smallest functional unit of society and civilization. Note that men had always had access to sex, in form of prostitution which has been called the world's oldest profession. However resource provisioning, outside of a strong welfare state such as US, or Europe is upto mostly the father. In Asia, Africa, South America, etc. if a mother has a child out of wedlock, she's done; there is no child support, no food stamps, no govt. to step in. However, the sexual revolution and invention of better contraceptives did change and challenge that in Europe and America, but in most parts of the world sexuality is severely controlled for this cultural and societal reason.

genericname85 · Answer

Marriage as an institution exists for the simple reason that in case of a pregnancy resulting from sex, women would be massively screwed over if the man just leaves them behind with the child. So what women are after, is the security to have a partner that can compensate her lack of the ability to provide during the time that she cares for the baby.

For men of course, marriage is just a massive inconvenience in their pursuit of living their sexal desires, which luckily birth control could reduce drastically.

Trivial sex isn't difficult to get even without money. I don't think it's main motivation to marry a girl for not desperate guys. Majority of girls tend to see money as plus point, however I think their motivation for marriage is being attracted and having satisfying intimacy with a guy they want to marry. Otherwise just multimillionaires and billionaires would have wives but this isn't the case.

DeltaCharlieEcho · Answer

Women marry for stability, men marry for something similar but not the same. In reality this does look more like women marrying for money, but a man would have to be almost completely retarded to marry for sex because that shit goes away fast even in relationships.

Everyone one marries for different reasons, but the smart ones marries for LOVE 💕

SlightlyEccentric · Answer

You used the word "all" so the answer is automatically false.

zagor · Answer

Unless it's something like "all sharks live in water", most "all" statements are false.

MCheetah · Answer

It's false, but it's not a small minority. I'd say maybe 45-49% of people do that, which is still TECHNICALLY a minority.

Adam1978 · Answer

Not true, because men don't get sex in marriage deal anymore. They are better of not marrying the woman for an active sex life.

HOAAH · Answer

Most people marry because they want to have a family and happiness

MDollarBill · Answer

I think we all look for security in different ways. Women for provision and protection. Men for sex security. It's our most primal instincts. You can't escape it, no matter how enlightened you think you are.

unicornbutterfly · Answer

Because I myself have been married before and I married because of love. We are all different, see things differently, have different way of doing things... so why would all women marry for money and all men marry for sex..

EaterPeter · Answer

Whether they marry for those reasons or not. Final out come is just like that. Guy is just working harder and harder to support his family and hardly getting any sex.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm going to say false. The primary reason I would get married is to have kids. If I'm not going to have kids, no point in getting married. Marriage is for kids.

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe she will marry for money like a good ole gold digger (she truly sounds like one). But most women don't do that or else the only married men would be the rich men.

AkshiJanjua · Answer

No of course If men only wanted sex they would have stayed single and improved their game so they could have sex with a lot of women.

Hulk30 · Answer

no most women marry for security most men marry because of a lack of sexual options

VanillaSalt · Answer

This was a trap. Your saying it in absolute terms… MOST men won’t date a woman if their not attracted unless their desperate and most women won’t date a broke man… you setup the questions too biasedly.
