Women, do you like it or not when your BF wants to show you off to all his friends and flaunt you to his exes?

Relationships are not meant to be 'shown off.' You're with somebody you're with them, nothing flashy you just have a good time. If you're showing off your spouse then you're either a gold digger or an egotistical loser- which is sort of the same thing.

There are two levels . First is looks good enough and/or does things to get me attracted. That is a pretty low standard. Secondary I want someone who looks good enough that others are jealous of me and wondering how I made it to the big leagues. Ex girlfriends do not matter people get higher status from entire societies if their mates are of high status. And just walking together they can only measure looks and the perceived expense of the wardrobe and accessories

True.

I can understand when someone is proud to be with another person, because they are happy they are with them and want to show them off like "Meet so and so. This is my S.O. He/she makes me SO ELATED!!"

But, to show someone off like they are an 'object'? Lame.

It is VERY immature.

I guess this is a question for young people (I'm 55), and frankly, I have NEVER had that experience! Then again, I was married from 18-41, so there's that!

Remarried again at 47 (eight years ago), my new husband admires my intellect and my ability to easily converse with a broad range of people on a broad range of topics. He admires my other "enduring" qualities that have nothing to do with physical attributes.

Men who are so focused on "looks" are worrisome, IMHO. It's a sign of immaturity and instability and superficiality.

We wonder how our great-grandparents stayed married throughout life? Back in the day, we met our mates at church socials and public school and through other local events. Relationships were formed slowly and carefully, based on commonalities and shared principles and similar backgrounds.

The unfortunate irony is that the OP, who is parading around his "hot" date, is already suffering from premature balding due to steroid use

The things that people do to themselves...
