as long as your comfortable with yourself why does it matter how much she makes

i am asian motherfu-ker i came here when i was 13

no i do not know what you are talking about

you need to let that $hit go

I think you know what I'm talking about. Even if I let that $hit go, other people won't let it go.

Doesn't matter in the slightest.

there's many things that could offset her income...if you're better looking, better personality, more interesting, more universally talented (income only reflects talent in one aspect), etc

just say "i'm too down to earth to make that much money"

you'd be surprised, there's many highly-cerebral women out there who lack very basic skills, but for many high-income jobs, that's all you need

and saying "i'm too down to earth to make that much money" is more of a semi-taunting joke statement towards their assumed lack of experience and opportunities for the other aspects of life, not meant to describe yourself really

lol no one said anything about marriage or altering your own life in anyway...but not going for someone who makes more money than you is foolish, it's really not any different than if she was from a rich family, except she'd be gone more often being busy at work

Tainan's Lee Chin-mu (李清木) is proud that his eldest son is now former US vice president Al Gore's son-in-law.

The Chinese-language China Times reported yesterday that Gore's youngest daughter Sarah Gore, 28, a medical student at UC San Francisco, married Los Angeles businessman Bill Lee (李威廉), 36, at the Beverly Hills Hotel on July 14.

Lee is the eldest son of Lee Chin-mu, who is a professor of anaesthesia. The elder Lee is from Tainan County. He moved to the US soon after graduating from the medical school of National Taiwan University.

Lee Chin-mu was very excited about the wedding, and he called his relatives in Taiwan to share his happiness with them on the wedding day, the paper reported.

According to Lee, his family invited almost 300 guests to the wedding banquet. The family also hired many security guards just to keep the paparazzi away.

Their wedding guests included former US president Bill Clinton and his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump.

The paper quoted members of the Lee family as saying that they are very proud to become in-laws of the Gore family.

Former US vice president Gore is perhaps the world's most high-profile environmental activist.

When Sara met Bill

by Dan Bloom

When news reports in the U.S. recently reported that Al Gore's
daughter Sarah Gore had married Taiwanese-American businessman Bill
Lee in a California ceremony attended by both the Lee and Gore
families, the local media in Taiwan took the news as a happy omen. But
a racist comment appeared on an Internet chatroom in the U.S. just
after the wedding that read: "Al Gore's daughter is marrying a chinese?
Boy, that is one Inconvenient Truth."

For readers here who might not be familiar with the insult, the word
"chinese" is a derogatory word for people of Chinese or Taiwanese origin
in the U.S.

It is indeed sad that racism still flourishes in that democracy
overseas. It's also interesting to note that none of the news reports
about the marriage that originated in the U.S. mentioned that Lee's
family was originally from Taiwan. In a way, this shows the bright
side of America, and how multicultural the U.S. has become, so that
none of the wire services or gossip magazines felt a need to mention
the ethnicity of Bill Lee.

The 36-year-old Bill Lee (李威廉) is an American whose parents emigrated
from Taiwan, and his father, Lee Chin-mu (李清木), told reporters after
the wedding that he is happy to be related to the Gore family via his
son's marriage. Apparently, the couple met during a screening of
Gore's popular movie about global warming titled "An Inconvenient
Truth", according to a report in People magazine. In addition, Sarah
Gore, a 28-year-old medical student in San Francisco, has taken the
name of her husband as her last name, the magazine said.

Lee Chin-mu, who is a professor of
medicine in the U.S., hails from Tainan County and moved to the U.S.
soon after graduating from the medical school of National Taiwan
University, the media in Taiwan reported.

Sarah Gore first met her future husband at a function for her
father's Oscar-winning environmental documentary, "An Inconvenient
Truth", the magazine added, noting that the movie's executive producer
Jeff Skoll served as
best man at the wedding.

"As one person joked during the wedding toasts, global warming helped
bring Sarah and Bill together," a family friend told People.

What does this marriage of the Lee and Gore families mean for Taiwan?
It will probably lead to more news reports here about Al Gore's work
on global warming, and more invitations by environmental groups asking
Gore to give some lectures here and raise public awareness about
global warming in the future.

Other than that, the news was a normal "boy meets girl, girl marries
boy" story uniting two families in the U.S., with an small but
interesting sidebar about the connection to Taiwan.

why would a rich person want to marry a poor person or even a middle class person unless they didn't care for personality and just wanted some type of sex slave or trophy wife.
these different economic classes think differently, they act differently, they are pretty much nothing alike.

i mean female only work "light" jobs like bartender, office assistance.

I think you know what I'm talking about. Even if I let that $hit go, other people won't let it go.

I don't think those girls with successful careers who make a lot of money appreciate "down to earth" men. they're most likely looking for someone equal or even more ambitious and amazing than they are.

gawdTL..
why does it always have to be about money?

that's it!!!!!!!!
i'm staying single forever

i stayed in a relationship for a year wherein i was the one who got a job and my man was jobless....
it worked until now...
he's found a job

I had a coworker that was a girl working as an electrical engineer full time while her bf just stayed at home and bummed. Everyday at lunch, she'd have to run home to let her dogs out even tho her bf was home anyway. She's not working full time and going to school at nights. But I think the bf found a job at Staples.

oh it matters. it matters. it matters. you'd have to be Asian to undastand

Then you know what I'm talking about.

Maybe short-term romance may work but it would never work out in the long run.

Career matters above all these days.
