Sorry (not really). Um, from what I seen men will not lower their standards for women anyways. A woman might not like a guy right away but then then get to know him and he's funny whatever and all of a sudden she likes him. That would never happen with a man they either like your looks or whatever from the jump or they don't.

Ok, for one, most men marry/date DOWN the social ladder which is why most women depend on men financially. Secondly, most men are willing to offer companionship (along with sex) to almost any woman who is available.

It's just rare to find a man who walks around with a check list inside his head (like women do) of things that a woman needs to bring to the table before he decides to have anything to do with her.

Yea, but that's about it, unlike with women where they could find a man VERY attractive but will still refuse to have anything to do with the guy simply because, say, he lives with his mom.

And I believe you.

That's a fair shot, and I agree with you. HOWEVER, earning a million dollars or becoming a successful business man to attract women is a lot harder then a woman getting a boob job and walking around in high heels to attract a man.

Jet, there are websites set up where women help other women find men like David Beckham. I have no problem with it, but the way they talk about "average guys", or "average Joe's" is just sickening. I just don't understand it. Where does all this hate come from just because a man is not rich.

You have no idea, the average man has to have a house, a nice car, a good job, nice clothes, be over 6ft tall..... ect, in order to get a decent woman to even look his way because the average man has to compete with all the millionaire celebrities that most women lust after like David Beckham.

And I strongly disagree that every woman's standard is different. Most women want the same kind of man, they want a man who is around the same age as them, or older, who is RICH.
You may be right about it in a certain extent. But guess what my dad wasn't rich either. He was just a normal guy it wasnt untill later in his marriage with my mother that he started to earn 120k+ a year. He didn't earn that much annually before marrying my mom and she did come from a 'higher' class she did inherrit around 8 million egyptian pounds at that time, which is now around worth 1.4 million dollars. And neither of them look like 'supermodels'. The world isn't black and white. Two human beings can still love each other.

HA, that 'baller' website was pretty funny

I have no doubt that there are women out there who will lie cheat and steal to get a celebrity or someone rich/famous as their beau. But to say it's the only thing that all women want is kind of silly. I've had guys tell me that I should wear a low cut shirt and start attending NBA games to find myself a 'tall rich guy' and they don't seem to understand that I'm not interested in that type of man. Infidelity, extreme arrogance, drug use etc. just doesn't appeal to me at all. Now, Mike Trout or Brian Wilson...that's a whole different story

Maybe all the guys who are worried about women judging men on their wealth should start dating hippie chicks...most of them don't even need a house or showers for that matter

i dont think you should be with a woman who says they are lowering their standards to be with you, I think that when you find someone that you like you should want to be a better person, not just for yourself but for them and vice versa. a woman who tells you shes lowering her standards for you is maybe not that into you anyways.

Given that the average age of marriage is mid-late 20s, when people don't have a pot to p*ss in or a window to throw it out of, I'd say you're off the mark here.

Really? We all end up with abusers and dead beat dads? That's ridiculous.

Didn't you know that? All women end up with abusers and dead beat dads while pining after rich men. All women also marry rich men and are gold diggers. They also have criminal records because women love that too, ya know, bad boys!

Honestly, I don't even know what I'm supposed to be attracted to anymore. Keeping up with the 'Men of CD' is tiring.
