Dowry
When your girlfriend's parents bribe you with gifts in order to convince you to stay with their daugther and marry on.
Guy: Last night was awesome. She let me put it in her ass.
Friend: Bro, she gave you the dowry. She was thinking "Oh sweetie, here is my father's goat, a small calf, and my butt. Let's get married."
"I'm not Skip-The-Dowry material my family would have to pay to ship me out bro!!"
"I think I really love John, he's like...Skip-The-Dowry material."

Dowry Whore
A woman, who willingly indulges in the practice of paying "Dowry"(sums of money, property, gold etc) to the groom, at the time of her marriage in the hopes that she will be financially looked after by her husband for the entirety of her life.
E.g: I'd rather stay single all my life than be a dowry whore.
