Red-Pilled Mother And Hypergamy

The headline at the Daily Mail reads: "Why I'm telling my daughter to marry RICH: Some might call me anti-feminist, but I wish MY mother had instilled in me how crucial money and status are in a partner... Anyone who says wealth can't buy happiness is kidding themselves!" An excerpt:

We tell ourselves these frankly outdated tales to justify where we're at in life. Of course you can have money and love. If only because money means you really can actively choose to buy the things that make you happy. I've got friends who are extremely wealthy and are in long and happy marriages; and I also know people who live in council flats who aren't happy.

And:

Money will give my daughter not only a comfortable life but choices, too. If, when she has children, she wants to stay at home with them, then she can. Likewise, if she wants to return to the office pronto, then decent childcare won't be an issue for my grandchildren.

Echoing what I've heard from other people that wealth brings options or freedom to do what they want, which is necessary for happiness. On the other hand, poverty just grinds you down.

    Also:

Research consistently shows that to get ahead in life, the old adage 'it's not what you know — it's who you know' still counts. Only this week a study revealed that just under a third of young employees secured their jobs through a personal connection. The private school fees might be a stretch for us, but Lara's already in good company — one of her friends is the daughter of a Manchester United football player. 

 Which, of course, is why there is such competition to get into elite schools--to be able to network with the families that are wealthy.

    And this mother is trying to keep her daughter from being a slut--or at least looking like one:

    Lara is just starting to date. We're both in agreement about no tattoos or piercings. Such visible markings are a total barrier to a decent life and the opportunities that come your way.

    Besides, Lara is so innocent she's only just had her ears pierced.

After looking at the photographs, however, I think the daughter is going to have spend more time at a gym and perhaps get some cosmetic surgery.
