Here's how it was described to me.

You get out of college, marry your sweetheart and have a bunch of kids. You both work hard, watch your pennies and you climb up the corporate ladder. At 40, you're making a lot of money and you have some presige, but your wife is 40 too and after a lifetime of kids, housework, etc she doesn't look so good to you anymore. Everything about her reminds you (and your associates) that you're just another suburban family slob, and not the dynamic, dominant corporate deal-maker you now see yourself as. So you dump her and your now-teenage kids, and marry a 28-year-old "Ally McBeal" type who actually does see you as a powerful mover-and-shaker Alpha male, and not the desperate, paunchy, shallow old bore you've really become. THAT's a trophy wife.


exactly

no, that just sounds like a mid-life crisis. trophy wife is someone you don't necessarily love or even like, just some hot, usually younger, woman that you just use for show

mid life crisis=trophy wife

I'm gonna settle for a vette though.

I'll keep the old battle axe(Squisher looks around)

Im gonna tell her you said that......:Q



Tonight over drinks:p

Another example... look at Nick whashisname... no way he's with Jessica Simpson because she's intelligent with a great personality... :disgust:

He's with her cuz she's hot. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That Nick Lachey guy would be nothing if he didn't have Jessica Simpson. He would end up like Justin Guarini.

Proof that the trophy wife theory works, everyone pays more attention to you if your wife is a hottie!
