That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I think some people here are over generalizing this concept. Most people aren't rich. There are plenty of attractive (again, this is subjective) women that don't go marrying into money for the sake of money.

If a man's luck with women improves because of money and status, then it is based on a mirage and the women he is with are not worth having.

That's the thought that keeps creeping into my mind as well.

Again that's me, I can't speak for every guy.
Could be. But I think in my sister's case, she was kind of like a prude. (honest to God) As an artist I started drawing naked men at age of 9 (honest to God) and to her, I was a threat to world peace (honest to God)

Her then boyfriend really really loved her. He was one of the best looking man I've ever met my whole life. (one of the) My sis is only 5 feet (the only short person in my entire family). She never worn shorts in the summer time because she was not confident about her legs.

The relationship always puzzled me. That is why I am saying maybe the divine type of love is made in heaven. Money, status, and looks have nothing to do with it.


I am a gal, and sex is still better with a hot guy I am assuming. (I've never had sex with somebody I wasn't attracted to) So I don't know for sure. I cannot sleep with somebody I am not attracted to. Good looking men are creative in bed because they are confident. (well, generally speaking.)

While you're at it, you can get a great physique and good teeth.

Those things all help but they aren't dealbreakers. If you're some weirdo, creep, or your personality just sucks, it still wont help.

I'll bet my paycheck that a 7 with a great personality and is comfortable and truly KNOWS women and how to attract them, yet makes 50k a year, will do 10000x better than a doctor who's a 7 and makes 150k/yr, yet is awkward, uncomfortable to be around, and knows nothing about attracting women..
Speaking to this point, I work with a girl who recently broke up with a doctor because of his terrible personality and is now dating an unemployed guy who's pursuing his Master's in social work I think and has a kid. The unemployed guy is apparently much sweeter and kinder to her, and it doesn't help that he's in great shape.

Again, there's people's perception of reality (based on what they've been fed by pop culture and their own egos) and then there is reality. I choose to live in the latter.

I can totally see it. A doctor who was interested in me has spent many months chasing after me but I just never found him interesting because he was somewhat creepy. He said (not his original words, but something similar) "I hope you don't mind that I am very wild in bed. I would like to try new things and I am very picky." Yes he was creepy. And when he introduced himself to others, he always says, "I am a doctor" As if being a doctor is his only purpose in life and doctor is his only identity.

My software engineer boyfriend also made six figure income. But he was so genuine honest and fun to be with. He made me feel very good all the time. The Marines I dated were wild too, but they were not creepy. I like dominating powerful men, not creepy control freaks.

Well I was throwing that out there. The stuff you see on porn makes guys go crazy.
BTW guys don't really care about a girls height. The 5 footers are small and adorable. Just me.

Not necessarily speaking directly to your statement. But I think the implication being made here on this thread is that if you're not made of money, good luck fighting for the scraps. I think that's complete and utter BS based on my observations.

No. But I'd have a Dodge Viper!
