Ok, money might not be able to buy true love, but I see money buying women (not hookers) all the time.

 

I was at a dinner party tonight and a race horse owner was telling me how a lot of the jockeys have smoking hot girlfriends.

 

These guys are around 120 lbs and 5 ft 4, but because they earn about 1.5 mil USD a year they attract a lot of women.

 

So all you short guys out there complaining you cant' get women. Simply start earning 1.5 mil a year, and start living a glamorus lifestyle.

 

I agree any women with good values ain't going to fall for this crap. But you're still going to attract women never the less. It's true, money can bey "the closest thing to true love", and if not a lot of sex with a lot of hot women.

:confused: Jockeys make that much $$? I thought the horse's owner was the one making all the $$. Women probably hang out the jockeys for their drugs.

Money can buy you a hot chick, absolutely.

I don't know how much they earn elsewhere. But Hong Kong has the most competitive racing/gambling market in the world and thus attract the best jockey's from around the world.

 

The main point I was pointing out was how many women say they wouldn't date shorter men. So obviously these hot women as sellng themselves for $$

I got your point, I was just fascinated at the thought of jockeys makin bank. :)

 

I hope this doesn't come across as racist, but aren't women in Hong Kong shorter also?

 

And I don't think anyone would disagree with the statement that SOME women mostly care about money. And/or fame.

I think HK women are 1-2 inches shorter than American women. So they're not that short. Plus they're a lot thinner which makes them look relatively tall.

 

I'm guessing a lot of the women going for these jockey's are models and girls that want to marry up. But seriously WTF?

 

My aim in life is to now earm 1.5 mil a year so women throw themselves at me, because right now I still have to chase.

money can't literally buy love, but it can sure enable love to come A LOT easier

Yeah, that kinda cash can buy you a nice little prize o' tail. But love? No way.

Mr Stumpy! You reminded me of this thread. Seriously i was at this dinner party and thought about you as some annoying gay acting arrogant race owner was telling me about his life.

 

I don't get why I even bother going to dinner functions with rich pretentious folks.

 

Look. Physical attributes are clearly not a disadvantage after you work on other stuff. :cool:

Money can certainly make life easier for some people.

More money= more problems. Too much money only weighs you down. Unless you like being weighed down. Besides, why would you want to be with a chick that only digs you because of your money? The only thing she'd be good for is a good old in and out.

i think money can buy some people.... and those people would be in love with the money....

 

IMO~ if you are a wealthy person and add that in when you first meet someone, then what you are banking on is buying that person. could you develope real feelings? sure.

but the first impression you want to make is that you are wealthy.

 

i do not meet people and say. "hi, i am lrb, and i gross 45K a year.... want my digits?"

Nonsense. Nothing is improved by poverty. Nothing.

 

Money is a lubricant that smooths out life's rough spots. Money may not buy happiness, but it will allow you to pull up along side it in your Ferrari.

 

In the timeless words of Sophie Tucker, "I've been rich and I've been poor. Believe me, honey, rich is better."

 

Yes, money does attract potential partners. The ability to provide a comfortable lifestyle is tremendously important.

here's another idea - love becomes increasingly more important in people's lives the less money they have :) (same with religion - the more your life sucks, the more religilus you are, there have been actual studies to show that). Anyway, while it's great to be in love, enough money give you plenty of other things to occupy yourself with even if that eludes you (but will ensure sufficient hanky panky nonetheless).

Who wants to be chained to this world? I love flying. Too much money and possessions weigh you down. You get stuck. You can't get into heaven if you are weighed down. But then again I know you and I are different. I am more comfortable in the air.

I think it's relatively easy to fall in the dangerous trap of feeling valued, important and loved if someones feels like spending a lot of money on you.

I think money can buy you time with a person and they can become accustomed to saying what you want to hear. If thats for you.. thats for you I suppose.

 

Take care,

Next time you want to go flying, tell the fellow driving the fuel truck that you can't pay for your avgas and see how far you get.

 

I don't disagree that a bunch of stuff will weigh you down. But I do disagree that having money is somehow a problem. It can become a problem if you let it, but that's a personal choice one makes. It doesn't have to be like that.

 

Money buys freedom - the freedom to fly, for instance. Freedom is attractive.

:laugh: Let me guess, you're an American, and you think money is gonna buy you freedom and love. :laugh: at you! While you need money to live and exist, all those toys and women you buy with it are ephemeral pleasures. What happens to your Soul when those toys no longer bring you pleasure and you get bored with them? Whoops, can't take any of it with you when you die!

 

And besides, if you are the average, working class American, you really are poor, you just look around you and see the big houses and expensive cars, and believe what you see to be wealth. But it is fake, American society is built upon an endless stream of debt, and when the veil is lifted don't say I didn't warn ya :p

Nope

Freedom to do as I please, yes. Love, no.

Nevermind the argument about the soul. I don't even know it exists. Neither do you. (That's another thread entirely, anyway.) And, like I said, I don't disagree that "toys" can certainly weigh a person down. Money can, however, provide experiences, and those experiences are the things remembered after one has passed. One of my favorite memories is my father taking me fishing to a very remote spot far in the north of Canada. Without money, he'd never have been able to do that. I don't remember the money it took, but I do remember the experience. And I'll always treasure it.

I have no argument with that at all, in fact I agree. We in the west have live far beyond our means for a long, long time, due to a culture of narcissism ("I deserve it!") and competition ("Bob/Mary have just bought a new house! We have to buy one too!").

I know personally that the Soul exists because I can hear it. I just have a different perspective because I'm a musician and singer and if I eat before a performance I can't sing as well because it weighs me down, as the air is more important to me than the material at that point. Whenever I sing I have to fly, its just the way it is.

 

And your experience is more about love and the Soul than the money spent. It isn't really an object that you can put your finger on, but a memory, which is what we should focus on. This is why obsession with money cannot last in the West because it is illusion.

Why did that remind you of me? Was he talking about short fingers or stunted growth? lol

Well money can make the women come to a man a lot easier than a man that doesn't have money. But it is the personality that attracts the woman. Money can only get you so far. I would rather find a woman that is not money hungry. Because you never know if it is true love or not. A woman likes to feel secure. Money helps that. But if you make money like the average joe then that can still make them feel secure. Don't worry about if money can buy love. Worry about finding true love.
