I agree... I'm not talking about people who have had some major upset in their lives... that is totally understandable.

Mrs. Chow has some family members that just spend and live way way out of their league... I was talking about those types......

I don't agree. For most women social/financial status is more important than anything else. If you are famous the rest is not important. Look at the groupies.

It goes like this for most women (always had)


1. Social and Financial status (they are almost the same)
2. Looks / personality

Women are much more practical than men.

Warren Beatty didn't bed thousands of women only because he's rich, he slept with tons of women before he was famous.


I am not talking about having one night stands. I am talking about dating. You know, relationships.

From what I've seen, I agree with this.

Looks wise: you think rappers like Lil' Wayne or Rick Ross would get a fraction of the women they can get if they were your average guy? Teacher? A store manager?

Personality: a lot of musicians, including one well-known r&b artist refers to women as *****es. I'm not talking about a song, but a statement that women are just *****es. I don't know how someone can have a good personality, while having such a low opinion of women.

Yet, those guys pull hundreds and thousands more kitty than your average guy.

And don't give me this stuff about confidence and job security, that's bs. A handsome young man with a decent paying, secure job who reeks of confidence doesn't stand a chance with an ugly (looks and personality) famous millionaire a good deal of the time.

At the risk of sounding superficial, I think most men who are honest will admit the same.

A lot of women say that personality is the most important. So can the majority of women honestly say they would be happy with a man whose personality she likes but who she does not find physically attractive? Biologically speaking, it does not make sense to me... it would seem like women would have to be physically attracted to their mates, just as men do, in order for procreation and the human race to continue on. But yet a lot of women, both on this forum and elsewhere in life, say that personality is basically all that matters.

Any thoughts?
Rule #1: If you want to know what a woman wants, ask them, and then do the exact opposite. I'm only being semi-sarcastic.

The benefit men have is that while he can do a lot of things to make a woman dislike him, he also has a lot of leeway to get a girl to like him.

On the flip side, women have to do just a few things for a guy to be interested...be cute, in good shape, and be cool.

If you're a guy, be financially stable, be in somewhat good shape, and be assertive.

You see women, like we all, compromise.
If you tried calling a chick ***** to her face you would get laughed at but if it was a famous rapper in a Bentley she would smile and play along...

But are those women that you're actually gonna want? I've seen some of those 'video girls' and I do know a few women who are into rappers... they aren't exactly the cream of the crop. In fact, they're usually selfish, immature and not very intelligent. They're interested in the lifestyle and will do anything they can (sleeping with them, wearing nearly nothing to get attention, acting like hoes etc.) to get that lifestyle.

Any self respecting woman wouldn't let a man call her a name and then be attracted to him. I don't care how much he makes, or what he looks like. If a man calls me a *****, I'm out.

Not interested in these women, just making observations.

I know they aren't interested in me as much as my material things or status, which is what attracted them in the first place. But from Facebook to going out socially, it's pretty sad how frequent this attitude is, even in college with student athletes.

It's hilarious when I hear some women like this complain that they can't find a good man.

I guess I just don't see it because I surround myself with pretty great women. I rarely hear any of them complain about their man not buying them enough stuff, or that he doesn't have enough money. The ones that do...well... they aren't exactly great catches. The women I know buy themselves stuff if they want it, no guy necessary

Only a few percentage of people in USA have a net asset of $1 million or more right now. It just depends on your spending lmiits and if you are happy with that.

It means not eating cereal out of the box every night for dinner (unless you choose too) and being able to live fairly comfortably. I don't care if a guy lives with his parents (I think it's financially sound, especially if you're working your way through college or trying to save up for a down payment on a house) and I don't care if he works a lower end job. But if he's constantly broke because he spends all his money on weed and beer he's not financially stable.
