Oprah Show Proves Women Love a Guy With Money

If that's true, then should we assume that women who are past childbearing age or who don't want children don't consider a potential partner's income? A problem with these sorts of "studies" making assumptions that this is somehow ingrained is that they discount the very strong effects of culture on attitudes and preferences. (How does it explain the choices of women who choose men with little or no income?)

A higher status physically attractive (pretty-women( high earner, welleducated)will NOT choose a lower status male, nor likely to be attracted to him. It's against natural instinctive programming. We want to be protected and feel safe with a man who can take care of business. To answer your question why at times a women will choose a man with little or no money because she can NOT find a better male who would be interested in HER. Perhaps she's not very desirable to a higher status, attractive high earning male who will select a physically appealing women because he has MANY greatchoices due to his high status.

Legend29,


Your post definitely made for interesting reading. I had been willing to accept the 4-week summer but when we had less than a week until our summer break and they sprung the unit plans on us, I decided to switch school districts. This summer I get two whole months off, more than I've ever had as a teacher. Woohoo! I'll probably message you about the rest of your post so we don't totally hijack the thread.


Notamaninpower (and D_Lion),


My understanding is that you agree with D_Lion when he said, "Do I think she will accept a material decline in her standard of living because her partner is appealing in these “soft” criteria? Perhaps."


You are both correct. There is an income point beyond which no number of the soft qualities will compensate. I would be willing to date (and marry) a man who made about half of what I make. (See my 4:14PM post on p3 if you need a reminder of how I came up with this number.) If a guy made below that, and there was not evidence that his income was likely to change (ie, if he's a student), then I probably wouldn't be interested in marrying him because I know I can meet guys who do meet my salary requirements who also have many of those soft qualities. But so long as he meets that minimum income threshhold, then he's okay. The futher he surpasses it, the better, but he's still in the running so long as meets the minimum. And just as a quick note, I'm not one of the $200k earners either.


And that 1st paragraph that you quoted about alphas is something I quoted from Evan Marc Katz. Just don't want people who didn't read my original post to think that I came up with it on my own.

Hey...I'm badddd (I fully admit that)...but I've alwys deserved my punishment and knew why I was being punished!


With the computer mods, I never know what I've done wrong, so I keep doing the wrong thng....geting modded...saying the wrong thing...getting modded....etc, etc, etc.


A truly vicious cycle!


LMAO....

I think I qualify (as per the time of this post), let’s date?

ROLMAO, my poor cyberspace friend... it is a terrible thing indeed when we alwys deserved punishment and why. But, dang it, it can get boring sometimes...


Vicious cycles can be overturned!!!!


*Whistling*....

Just remember the rules men,you have to make atleast twice as much money as the women,have a better education and the list goes on. This knowlege will save alot of time.

One of my requirements is that my mate be breathing. That is indeed a high priority for me, but in my experience the threshold is so low that I have not had any trouble in finding men who can meet it (as long as I'm not spending all my time hanging around cemeteries or morgues).
