I don't care what he makes, as long as he's good in the sack

All joking aside, you do get many women here and elsewhere stating that they don't care what a man makes. In reality what you make plays a major role in your success in life and your ability to support yourself and to put food on the table.

It's not about preferring your partner to be broke but men, generally speaking, not caring if you as a woman don’t have a car, live with your parents, etc. As long as you are attractive to a guy and nice to hang out with, you’re good to go. Men and women have different priorities when it comes to attraction: Men, a woman's looks. Women, a man's economic status. Women are quick to say men are mostly all about looks, no feelings, just sex, etc. but you tell them what they are all about and they are in denial.

And it's fine that some men think that, as long as they don't start with the complaining that they have to drive her around everywhere and spend money on her and can't spend the night, because that's what they signed up for. Wanting a man who can support himself like an adult isn't the same thing as wanting a man to shower her with presents and pay for everything.

Men can’t complain about that. If they do, they get kicked to the curve, seen as complainers, not a gentleman, and so on as we have seen around here and in western culture. Yes, women want a man who can support himself which would mean him not living with his parents, having a car, having a job, making some decent money, etc. A man, generally speaking, can care less if she has a job or not. Men are initially attracted to a woman’s looks. Women are initially attracted to a man’s economic status. Simple as that. Men can get away with not being Mr. Adonis but cannot get away with being cheap and/or broke. Women can get away with being broke and cheap while maybe not the same with looks (then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder).

The assertion on the flip side, then, is that men don't care if a woman can support herself. I don't buy that for one second. Any intelligent man with his shyte together is going to care.

Of course that could be something to consider but, generally speaking, is not a #1 priority for men. It may be a deal breaker if the woman was not attractive to his eyes the same way it would be a deal breaker for a woman to find out he lives with his parents, doesn’t have a car, uses coupons, doesn’t pay for dates, and so on. Why deny it? Women are quick to say men are all about looks, sex, no feelings, etc. but tell women a man’s economic status is important when it comes to deciding who will take them out and all of a sudden they are all in denial. Come on.
Most of the people I know in relationships are the fat ones...and they were fat before they got "comfortable".
Not that I care, its just an observation that I don't understand given all this talk that men want an attractive and slender woman.
I have some other cute/thin single friends with great personalities who are having such a hard time. I don't get it.
But they may not have great personalities to the men. Personally, I don't care if the women is thin or curvy but must be Cute and have a good personality.
Maybe fat girls aren't as picky as skinny ones, so they're more willing to accept what's available.
Maybe fat girls know they can’t be snapping their fingers around for all the perks sexy women get so they end up relying on simply being fun, nice, attentive, and so on. They might put some effort compared to those who are attractive or think they are attractive.
