Or are these women continually doing things that lower their stock?
Continuing with Nicole Murphy, we think she can do better. But can she do better? Is she really worth it in those Hollywood streets? A Lot of you think she is, but if she were then she would have had another husband by now.
We know so many "pretty" women, educated and not, and talented, that could do better but they don't.
Why is this? Do all of these women not know their worth therefore they unintentionally devalue their own stock? Or are we overestimating what they are really worth based on looks?
I don't think she could do better because if she could then she would have done it by now.
I think she can do better than a married director with a reputation of sleeping with everyone but his wife and let Nicole take the fall when those pictures got published. Nicole could be mentally unstable and have the personality of a flesh eating rash and still do better. You don't have to have "high stock" to have a committed relationship or marry well. I stay lurking in
@Crackers Phinn thread on the royals in the ET forum and the thing I find interesting is, while some of the commoners that married Princes and Kings are beautiful, some are just conventionally pretty and some are Camilla Parker Bowles who looks like a foot. Some came from great families and some didn't. Look at Wallis Simpson, she was American and twice-divorced, her stock was real low. Edward VIII still wanted to marry her and gave up his throne to do so. Let's look at Eve. Rapper, had a tv show on the CW (or was it the WB. . . .UPN?!), ex-stripper, has paw prints on her bossom and is married to Maximillion Cooper, who is worth more than Antoine Fuqua. My personal opinion is a lot of women, don't do better because they don't think they can do better and willing to settle for table scraps when they don't have to. I also don't think it's ever to late too late to get a little self-worth and change the way you date. I'll say it again, if a man really wants to be with you, stock means very little. You maybe a crackhead, but you're his sexy crackhead.
I think Nicole is the one overvaluing herself. She thinks she can pull the same men, likely doing the same things she did 26 years ago. She refuses to alter her strategy. If she changed things up, she could be remarried quickly, I think. And she wouldn’t be out here looking stupid right now.
Worth is extremely relative. Depends on who you’re asking to pay. You have to go where your stock is highest. Nicole could be some older wealthy business man’s most valuable treasure. But she seems to be fishing for another Eddie Murphy type in a pool where her value is waning. So far we know she’s tried to “steal”
Antoine Fuqua, Michael Misick, and... Birdman. These men don’t value women at all, period.
I don't think she's necessarily overvaluing herself. Her type is specifically rich, Black men. That brings her options down quite a bit. Also, it's not the 80s and 90s anymore, a lot of these rich Black men just marry white or Asian, tossing that brown paper bag out the window. Why have a light-skinned trophy when you can get the blonde, blue-eyed trophy that your rich, white male peers have? So, Nicole has basically limited her options to rich Black men who like Black to Black-ish women. And this is where the desperation kicks in, because her financial survival is based on finding these unicorns. And I'm guessing she's not subtle about it, the thirst probably emanates from her pores. She knows beauty is fleeting and she's competing with younger and whiter. It probably sounds weird to say this in the context of dating, but she has no power. And the men she's chasing after probably know that. Men don't value what they can get easily.
If Nicole just has to have a rich man, then she needs to open up that dating pool. Go for the guys that are rich but not famous. I had never heard of Alexis Ohanian until Serena married him and I definitely hadn't heard of Eve's husband until she married him. Find one of those tech bros and she can be the Queen of Silicon Valley. Someone who knows he's darn lucky to have her (even if he really isn't).
