honestly, i cant believe how many times you see a fat chick with an OK looking dude with an OK job and personality. i guess it jsut doesnt matter to some dudes. i dont know how they do it. voodoo?

[fish2plus2]

line up a million women and have them write about men, relationships and what they want -- then take a look at their REAL LIFES, and I bet something wont match up.

Meh,

You are smarter than this.

Generalizations suck.

Fluffy's response from another thread, interestingly enough about a guy who was wondering if he was spending too much money on a girl and if it might be tainting the relationship somehow:

if you're spending a lot of money on her, you know she feels guilty ... in conclusion, buy her presents.

Unfounded generalizations suck, yes. However, the data supports the theory, does it not?

[Dids]

There's a difference between a study that says "women tend to prefer men with money" (and note that men with money are likely to have other qualities to which women will be attracted" and "women are all money grubbing whores".

There's also a difference between "girls like rich guys" and "girls like rich guys just for their money"

The difference between:

1) Group X likes Group Y because they have money

and

2) Group X likes people for their money

Is very, very slim.

Furthermore, no one is disputing that men have overwhelmingly analogous traits. You could replace the word "money" with "boobs" and it's basically the same thing. The difference is that men don't lie about it.

Personally, I love the use of the code word "confidence" to refer to money.

Haha, yeah, this is a good one.

I simply can't understand people like Dids who obviously have significant college experience and have seen many young women in that mindset - especially on the west coast, where this attitude is heavily prevalent.

The idea that most women are money-grubbing whores is not an absolute statement, I might add - most women have some degree of this attitude in their persona; some worse than others. Again, no different than men wrt boobs minus the honesty factor.
