Women don't get called the "b word" for nothing

Both of us use each other but it seems as if only men get ripped for it..
You're comparing apples to oranges. A man or a woman choosing a mate based on traits they'd like to pass on to their children is far different from using another person for your own personal gratification, for example.

The thing is, in a tightly knit family, it's hard to tell where the personal gratification ends and the family's gratification starts It's kind of all the same.

BUT, what if a successful woman only wants to date successful men???

She's not gold-digging nor looking to be "pampered" but rather looking for her equal.

Well you know what,define successful and then I'll say further.There are plenty of successful "middle class wage earners" depending how you define successful but suspect that is not the definition most women mean when they say successful even though the guy might be successful in happiness,good looking,responsible,caring,doing what he wants to do,independent within his means who might be the kind of guy who gives you orgasms you thought you never could have and will hold your hand when you are bed ridden feeling sick?

If you choose a guy not that because he has extreme wealth in the bank over the other stuff than what else could you be but a gold digger?

I didn't stutter with my keystrokes choose.....

A~ guy filthy rich who will make you financially secure with all the finest bling you want yet is not attractive both physical and personality wise.


B~A guy good looking,fun,caring,loving,awesome sex.....yet you will live on a budget and live in a middleclass or even poor neighborhood


And no you can't say well the rich guy might be hot and loving also.No,the choice is a cranky demanding control freak rich guy with no good qualities other than being filthy rich or the guy who will provide emotionally and sexually yet limited finances.


Which guy do you marry?

Sorry, but I still believe in guy "C", who has worked hard, invested wisely, lived frugally and can now enjoy the good life. He has also nurtured his mind and body and is smart and witty, and fit and handsome.

I know these men exist because I live with one every day.

I am a bit older and, hopefully, wiser. For younger women, faced with your gloom and doom, either/or scenario? I would say pick "B" and help him grow into a "C".
