hulloladies Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Hello ladies, If given the choice between two males: Male A: Makes over $600,000 a year before taxes, around 6 feet tall, in great shape, average looking (6-7/10), highly educated (doctoral degree, graduate degrees), early 30s, great personality, no bad habits, no bad relationship history, no children, no debts, completely autonomous job/stable, worldly. Earning potential only increases over time. and Male B: Makes $100,000 a year before taxes, around 5'10', in great shape, good looking (9/10), college degree (bachelors), early 30s, great personality, no bad habits, some relationship history, no children, some financial debts, business- so not stable, and not worldly. Earning potential has limited potential to no potential for increasing over time. Which would you choose? And why? And would it matter if any of them was of a particular race/background? How would that affect your decision. Also, how do you think other women would choose in this situation? Please no hypotheticals. You have to pick one. Edited February 6, 2013 by hulloladies
veggirl Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 :rolleyes: so the difference is 2 inches and half a million dollars? what is the point of this really stupid hypothetical? they both sound ehhhh. I prefer my men to make 2 mil, at least. so I'd pass on both of these scrubs. 1

TaraMaiden Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 it means he might not, so he can go suck eggs. I'd rather bet on a dead cert now, than pin my hopes on a maybe....
Author hulloladies Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 it means he might not, so he can go suck eggs. I'd rather bet on a dead cert now, than pin my hopes on a maybe.... But regardless, of the two choices outlined, which would you choose and why? How would race play into the decision? And how do you think this would play out in the dating/marriage market?
TaraMaiden Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I completely giveaphukk, I'm already married! (BtW... which one are you....?)
eleanorrigby Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I'll take male B for $100 Alex. Male A making $600,000 a year would have a very demanding job, I wouldn't like the residual stress rubbing off on me. I would think, someone making $600+ is definitely going to want to see if he can make it to a million. I couldn't imagine him having much time for me with those sort of financial and career goals. I wouldn't want to end up the rich wife that never sees her husband. I'm not crazy about Male B having baggage and bills. I'd want his bills taken care of before we married if at all possible. And what type of bills they are makes a difference. If he's buried in cc debt- that's a no go for me. If it's school loans, that's OK, but I'd still like to see that there was light at the end of that debt tunnel for him before we married. However. If for some reason I was interested in what Male A did for a living, if he was a scientist at Cern creating fusion for example or Michio Kaku, I'd take a chance on him! (I guess that's a hypothetical though lol)
veggirl Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 What if Man A had the potential to make 2 mill a year a decade down the line. Look, in real life, neither of these men would have trouble getting women to date them. In real life, most men are neither of these examples so the men of your examples would stand out okay? Not sure what you are trying to prove or w/e with your OP. Why are you asking ?

I'm just interested in the dynamics of the relationship market. I agree that most men dont fit these examples, but say that a few of them did. Which man would you choose? A or B? Just choose one to humor me if anything. I'm doing a survey of sorts. Also, please consider racial dynamics and how that would affect your decision as well. Edited February 6, 2013 by hulloladies

Race is no big deal, but I'd prefer an American or a few other cultures I'm used to and understand. I wouldn't want a religious man that goes to church every Sunday, but I wouldn't want an atheist either. I think a lot of women would go for Male A because he looks better at first glance.
Mr. Lucky Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Male B would be the only available candidate. Male A is obviously gay... Mr. Lucky
Author hulloladies Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Male B would be the only available candidate. Male A is obviously gay... Mr. Lucky Gave me a chuckle. But in all seriousness, how do you see this working out sir?

Thanks for the input.
Author hulloladies Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Agreed. Thanks for the input. Any more feedback?
Cutiepie1976 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Not enough information!! I'm looking for a long-term relationship. Intangibles matter! What exactly do they both bring to the table besides their lack of poverty, dwarfism, or grotesque monstrosity (by your definition, of course, not mine)? For all I know, they may yet be hideous gargoyles, who accidentally misread the tape measure as they wobbled on their stilts, and calculated their salary in wampum? What about their character and personality? Expand on these please. What about their social aptitude? Deets! In short, please focus on those qualities that matter in a relationship partner. ...and what about the debonair, trust fund, Prince Harry-type, blue blood? He's feeling very left out and appalled by the roster of crappy competitors! Does his social secretary really have to call yours?
