Let's accept the fact that "love" is a joke and the relationship world is purely economic (female, pickup)

Just a suggestion - if you don't want to keep getting banned over and over again - try to pick a name not from The Big Lebowski, Fargo, etc. - and try to keep the woman bashing to a minimum.

Screen names, writing styles, posting topics, favorite phrases, stuff like that. There are some who post here and Work & Employment, here and Non-Romantic Relationships, here and the Washington DC board ... after a while, you just recognize patterns.

That is not what the OP is saying though. Rather:

More money = Higher market value ------> Greater choice of women

It is a statistical thing.

When my mama gave me my name, I'm sure she wasn't thinking that it might be a character's name in some movie down the line.

But, suggestion noted.

Can't wait to see your next screen name - I know the posts will be the same.

but "falling in love", romance, etc., seem to be a one way street: feelings that a man tries to facilitate in a woman.

You still have it at 30. Wait until you're 35 or 40, then you'll change.

Oops, sorry, for some reason I thought you were the OP. I was quoting the subject line of the thread. I'd go back and edit it if I could, but the window has closed.
