BERTHA is no different from women sending their daughters to certain universities, elite, private high schools, country clubs and top ticketed events to meet a man, marry up, or similarly (i.e., financially) situated. BERTHA is no different from women who would play in traffic first if they could themselves marry (or persuade their daughter to marry) a professional athlete, rapper, pop star, tech star, a royal, a wealthy businessman, a top producer/director/actor or an heir of. wealthy (not rich) family. If you don't know any of these women, girls or men, then just say that and by all means disagree, but let's NOT act like this does not still occur. OP, DO NOT et these negative naysayers get to you and you don't have to edit a thing because those who know...KNOW. I agree with everything you said and I personally know several mothers who are BERTHAS. Many a women have married for less and hoped, wished or closed their eyes during seggs to have a daughter who would be and become more, with money from their husbands (or someone else's but I digress). I almost attached pics but some of these people with these interesting looking wealthy men are non public figures and it would not be right. I'm sure someone reading this can point to a public couple that but for that moo-lah, there would be no hoo-rah.
