Seriously? I cannot believe the continued controversy my post has created. To recap: In response to Jexter's statement that these women (with the potential exception of the new cast member) derived their socioeconomic status from their significant others, MsDiva2007 noted that Lisa was a licensed real estate agent prior to marrying her current dh. I merely noted that Lisa was married to her ex-dh at the time of earning the license. It's a fact, regardless when inserted into the conversation & whether it supports Jexter's assertion.Quote:
Well, whether you meant it to or not, throwing that fact about Lisa in at the time you did could easily come off as you using that to support Jexter's point that the women don't really support themselves, which, IMO is inaccurate. I'm not judging or anything, but can you see how that could be misinterpreted pretty easily?
Just to clarify, Jexter's point was NOT that "these women don't really support themselves" (meaning they don't have successful careers/provide income to their families) as you stated, rather that they were initially/are recognized as upper class based on the profession &/or recognition of their athlete/musician/wealthy spouses. Again, I NEVER stated & certainly don't believe that gaining increased socioeconomic status from marriage or finding professional success while married is morally or legally wrong or in any way, shape, or form considered "bad." That "misinterpretation" was made by posters, like you, who read their perspective into my words.
Sure, Kim was cheating with a married man, but the man also was a willing participant in it. The outrage over Kim's actions and calling her a "whore" would make you think Kim's the only one involved. Judging by BP's looks... let's just say, he's no looker. He knows his $ is the only thing Kim liked about him, and he was OK with that. If his wife is aware of the "other woman" and is still with him, good for her, however, I refuse to feel sorry for her. Hard to have respect for someone who doesn't have any for herself. So, whatever.
I like Kandi's addition to the show as well, I also liked her voice when she was recording in the studio. However, I think she's only marrying the man to get a father figure in her daughter's life. He can still be in her daughter's life without getting married, what's the rush ... I don't understand.
right . . . . i agree with everything you said.
LOL, strangely enough, i saw a commercial for some hollywood husbands show this weekend.

i actually am pretty amused because i really don't get the impression that there is even a clear understanding of socioeconomic status and what it means.

i don't think it's a lace front because of that lock of real hair she always has pulled out in the front.
