Have you seen a failure man date a successful woman ?

What's your definition of failure? I have seen several successful partnerships/marriages where the roles were reversed from the traditional concept, and the woman was the successful go-getter career person and the man more the homemaker with other interests. In one, the woman worked to put him through art school; then he worked to put her through graduate school. She went on to be a high flying corporate executive, while he maintained the home and worked in his studio. Neither was a failure -- just different priorities in life, and they supported each other.

It depends on how you define "failure man" I guess.

I can't really say how successful her last husband was, but Elizabeth Taylor - millionaire actress and film star - was married eight times. Some sources will say she only had seven husbands because she married Richard Burton twice.

In any event, her last marriage was to Larry Fortensky - a construction worker. Note: he was a construction worker, not the owner of a construction company.

By any objective, economic standard, one would have to judge Larry to be a failure when compared to Elizabeth.

So, yes, based on an economic standard, you can say that a "man failure" can woo and wed a successful woman.

Hell, you would have to say that Prince Philip is a failure when compared to Queen Elizabeth. But they have been married well over 60 years - happily or not, I know not.

Luckily, not all women judge their suitors based solely on the size of the man's wallet and/or bank account.

Some women vote with their hearts!

Many times women seem to love the bad boys and the losers. They think they can change them and redeem them.

Rarely ever happens. Women are extremely selective. Evolutionary biology have theorized that's why men are hyper competitive.

I have, because that failure of a man appreciated her more than any successful man ever did.
