Relationships between wealthy men and women of lesser means is the ideal arrangement for many people - for several reasons. Throughout history, men have been represented as the providers and protectors of women, while women have been portrayed as damsels in distress and in need of being rescued. This kind of stereotyping has often resulted in men and women who have been programmed to see themselves in these respective roles.

Men take pride in the fact that they are able to accomplish their manly goals, as dictated to them throughout history. They enjoy being the provider for the women in their lives and believe it is their duty to see that she is fully taken care of and protected - not only from harm, but from whichever harsh realities life may have in store for her. Men derive a satisfaction from knowing they have fulfilled their manly callings. They are pleased that the women in their lives are pleased and even more so knowing that they are the reason for it. Aside from giving them a sense of accomplishment, providing for and protecting the women in their lives also provides the ego stroke that so many men thrive on.

Every little girl dreams of being a princess, but not every little girl born into royalty. Most women, at some point in their lives, have wished that their knight in shining armor would ride in on a white horse, carry her away, and make all of her troubles disappear. This longing doesn’t go away with age. Women who have been programmed with the damsel in distress mentality take comfort in knowing there is someone around who will help shoulder life’s load - some one who will buy her shiny things, make her feel beautiful, and provide her with experiences she would have otherwise never known.

The majority of relationships fail because of a simple concept of economics - supply and demand. One partner in the relationship is demanding something that the other partner either cannot or will not supply them with. When those demands are not met, resentment and ill feelings begin to grow, which eventually drive a wedge between the couple. In a relationship where a wealthy man and a not-so-wealthy woman are concerned, that simple concept has already been met, thereby laying the groundwork for a long, successful relationship.

A wealthy man is capable of providing the woman in his life with things far beyond the normal call of manhood - the protection and provision of his partner. A woman who comes from a menial background would, arguably, have a greater appreciation for the things that a wealthy man could provide her with. She would have her knight in shining armor that she’s longed for since childhood and he would have his damsel in distress to protect and provide for. Since the needs of both partners are being met, this kind of relationship has the potential to be more successful than most. It’s a win/win situation for all involved.
