So you want to live like a robot, get your equal ration of food & money regardless of your effort, so that you too have an equal chance at love? My presumption is that you're broke, single and still looking, am I right?
I was thinking the exact same thing - great minds
You know how it is, only men with too much time on their hands and no one to share it with would be posting such drivel.
I am open minded enough to believe you have a right to your opinions and a place in this country, no matter how misguided, misinformed and poorly undereducated you are
And I Disagree With You, But I'm Pretty Sure You're Not Hitler.
Depends. Can a person with no job or income still find love? Do they have a GOOD chance of finding someone who will accept them in their current position without expecting it to change? That will still love them?
Will people remain with a spouse that's lost their job? For richer, for poorer, for better, or for worse?
If the answers to these questions are "yes", then it hasn't affected love at all.

But aren't you both buying into the very doctrine that I am questioning? That a person needs to compete with money and status for love. Wouldn't social relationships benefit if people , you both included, didn't have to be concerned with being rejected for not being rich enough or important enough?
I'd like to think that I wouldn't judge either of you based on how much you made or reject you as a possible partner and I'm hoping you would do the same for me. But with the world run by money, it gets impossible to tell.
So you want a whole new economic system where people who work hard don't benefit from their hard work so that losers who can't score now CAN score because they don't look quite as much as a loser anymore

Good point.
In the last 2 years my husband was out of work 18 months (12 months the first time and 6 months the second). We are still happily married

Not impossible in my world - I've lived it and money is nothing next to the love and trust I have in my marriage.

That's why you look for someone who you are compatible with, find someone who shares those same ideals and philosophies as you. Or is that you're having a difficult time finding someone who shares those beliefs and is a perfect ten in your eyes? I'm sure there are plenty of women out there who feel the same way, maybe you are overlooking them for your own biases?

I think Coolhand nailed it and I, like Loves and many others, have proven it by virtue of our relationships.
I certainly didn't get married for money, but for the love of a person that shared many common goals with me (attraction & chemistry aside).
