<< You guys are all so shallow. If I was the richest man in the world, I'd try to find the ugliest woman in the world to marry, not the prettiest >>



Same here.

Then I would use my large pile of money for lots of plastic surgery. I like a fixer-upper.
 


<< A lot of top IT professionals I know married a very intelligent woman who works with them to write books, come up with ideas, and work together as consultants.

BTW, what is Melinda's background? I read somewhere that she used to be a model, but the source was no good. 🙂

I know she worked for MS, can't remember exactly what she did though

I'd use my money to make her even uglier 🙂

After all, I wanna marry for love, not looks 😉



[Edit] So anyhow. Just because she's not hot doesn't necessarily mean that Bill Gates married for love, not money
 
I believe she has a programming background, but I'm not finding much on Google.

Damn those celebrities with private lives!

<< I can't believe the richest man in the world would marry someone like this
Obviously, he has no taste in woman. I'd love Larry Ellison for this matter, hehehe...

Edit: fixed link

man dissing a guys taste in women is not cool. He obviously married her for a reason. And hes still married to her and I presume he is happy with her. Money isn't in the equation when you love someone......

She was a marketing manager for MS. She helped bring us Microsoft Bob, seriously.




Edit: Not a product manager, a marketing manager.




 


<< Much of it may be due to age, hopefully they'll grow out of it. >>



My generation is suck, i wouldnt put to much faith into that statement 🙁

WAY to many dumb@sses out there with the stupidest ideaology of all time and it seems to be popular, woe is us
 
"Money isn't in the equation when you love someone...... "

Talking about real life ........
Still reading these stories about prince and princess ?
 
How can you assume that they married for love by her not being hot?

I've met plenty of ugly girls who were also awful people inside...

The only thing you can be sure of by looking at the picture of Bill Gates' not-hot wife is that Bill Gates' wife isn't hot
 
Lol, fortunately though the opinions of people here have no weight,the only opinion that matters
is Bill's 🙂
 
maybe he married for true love?

pfffffffff YEAH RIGHT
 
WTH do you care who he marries? He obviously didn?t want some whore whose gona stab him in the back and take all of his money. And I bet if he DID marry a hot piece of ass, you'd be here ranting about how shallow Billy boy is, marrying a super model.

Pfff.....

Blah - Edited.
 
<< Sometimes, the attitude of people on ATOT surprises me. I've come to expect that geeks don't understand how real life works, but the ignorance some show toward life, love, and the world in general disgusts me.

Grow up, get a life.

Hey, it's just an opinion, if YOU are a grown up, then respect other people's opinions.
If he's happy, then it's good for him. But I heard that they have a prenup, and in that, Bill stated that every year, his wife must let him go on vacation BY HIMSELF for a week or so. There's rumor that Bill spends that week with another women who is his ex-gf but he didn't marry for some reasons :Q

The whole thing doesn't seem normal to me, that's all.
There is a saying "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", maybe his wife is the hottest one for him.


I'm sure he could show you a pic of his wife *WOULD BE* if he were the richest man in the world.
Obviously, QTPie isn't the richest man in the world.


hehe, thanks for backing me up.

Please don't flame me, but I think Larry Ellison is the geek who knows how to enjoy life (no technical stuff involved)
 


<< Maybe he married for love and not looks, maybe not. But we all know what she married for. 😛 >>


Well, we know it wasn't for Bill's dashing good looks 😉
 


<< Maybe he married for love and not looks, maybe not. But we all know what she married for. 😛 >>




We do ? when did you interview Melinda Gates ? :Q
 
Just to add some more to this thread:

To me, a girlfriend and a wife are completely different matters. While I care so much about looks, etc right now since I'm a college sophomore, I wouldn't do the same when I'm looking for a wife.

If I ever marry, I need to marry someone who will not discourage me from following my passion. I need a woman who doesn't b!tch at me every time I buy a computer part or spend quite a few weekends finishing off software projects. She must be very understanding and love me for who I am. Such women are tough to come by, from what I see around in this world. "Hot" women with such qualities makes the matter even more difficult.

But if I'm just looking for a girlfriend, it doesn't matter. We'd just go on dates to have fun. Since it's not like I'll see her everyday, it doesn't matter if she nags me about me being too geeky or spending too much money on computer stuff. I can't imagine marrying some hot chick who would take much of my hot earned money and b!tch at me for spending too much on new computers because she has to spend 5 grand a month on new clothes.

Any ways, I think that Bill Gates had a good reason behind marrying her. Maybe she is very intelligent and he really enjoys spending time with her. And it is quite likely that she looked much better when she was younger. Didn't she have like 3 kids already?
 


<< Hey, it's just an opinion, if YOU are a grown up, then respect other people's opinions. >>


There is nothing "adult" about respecting opinions regardless of their content. I respect opinions that are well-thought out, well-presented, entertaining, etc. Your attitude - of judging an individual solely based on physical appearance - gave no semblance of the opinion-holder having, at the least, a modicum of intelligence.

If you want to judge people solely based on their physical appearance, that's fine. Just don't expect me to respect you for doing so; or, better yet, post your pic and let all of us judge you solely based on it. Our opinions of you based solely on your appearance can't be worse than they are based solely on your posts.
