I was at a fashionable up-scale Detroit bar about a yr ago and a couple of the Detroit Red Wings (hockey players) were there. Beautiful young women were tripping all over themselves to talk to them and buy them drinks and were even giving the players their phone #s without being asked. It was hilarious. And the funny thing is that all three players were married and had their wedding bands on.

 

I bet that they were some really high class women too.:lmao::rolleyes:

And what would have been really wonderful is if the players had thrown those lil pieces of paper in garbage on their way out.

 

That's what I would have done. :)

Yes, power and money mean quite a bit to most women. I know many many women who wouldn't even consider dating someone without a significant amoung of $$$.

 

I guess you need to think about it this way- at the end of the day, it has to be relatively even. If you want a girl who is younger and more attractive than you, then you better have some $ or power. Same thing with the girl- good looking girls after $ sacrifice in the looks department when searching for a suitable male.

 

I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. Anyone who says it doesn't matter at all is either the exception to the rule or with someone who is equal to them in the looks/age category.

There is a fine line between having a significant amount of cash and being financially stable. Women want a guy who is financially stable. A guy with too much money and success will let it get to his head, thus causing arrogance. Women want a guy who can support the two of them financially and who is also not full of themselves.

 

I'm sorry, but IMO, its shallow of a women to go for a guy because of his money.

Not worth a penny to me.

Very true, eventually both parties will learn. Some women go after modified cars with spoilers and tips (plus eat rice), underpowered muscle cars (mustang) only to get beaten by a (large unmoded sedan) or worse yet an SUV. :lmao:

 

I saw this in college, never subscribed to the cars or cloths thing. Just have to dress appropriately, business suit, casual, whatever the occasion.

See, yet another thing. Why is the assumption made that *high class* are automatically desired by all men?

its also "shallow" for men to go after attractive women but it happens each and every day millions of times the world over....yes genetic and human evolution are quite "shallow" when women go after the leader of the pack and men go after the nubile attractive and fertile women. but it does perpetuate the species and help the gene pool :)

I agree with you, but that is the way it is. It is also shallow for a man to go for a woman for her looks, but they do.

 

I have never been one to go after a man based on his $$. Probably because I am way too confident and independent to allow a man to act or even think like he is better than me. However, I'm attractive and educated and I wouldn't give the time of day to a guy who works at McD no matter what.

I don't know about you or anyone else, but I have my own definition of what I consider high price to me. High price to me is a female who can wow me over with her genuine personality. A kind soul, not selfish in the least bit, understanding, respectful of me and to others. That is high price.

Everyone has their own taste of attraction. Yes, i do notice women who I am attracted to. What do I do about it? I strike up a conversation and if we click, then we click. I am not going to date a women just because of what she looks like. I have to be able to get along with the female and have a good time with her. So tell me how I am being shallow?

He said High CLASS - not high price!

 

Although I do agree, what one person considers attractive might not be another's idea....

Like I said before, women want a guy who is financially stable. I am pretty sure that working at MCD's does not make a guy financially stable.

 

I know that there are women out there who are shallow and only want a guys money, but I believe that a majority of the female population will not go a guy with just money.

:o Thanks for pointing that out. Silly me. I meant high class.

I have friends that do. Funny, they're the ones that are married/engaged where as those of us that aren't interested in money are single.

I have a question-

 

Please show me an extremely wealthy and powerful man who is with an overweight/ugly women his age.

For a man and a woman to get together, they must be attracted to each other. Pure physical attraction has nothing to do with how much money or power that one has.

oh yeah RIDDLER....this applies to younger people. but as people get older money and resouces become much more important. would not you agree??

Hmm... so I should get an interest in money, get married, have kids...

 

Now question: Which comes first, money then power, or power then money?

I have to humbly disagree. I know lots of older people who say that they are marrying or re-marrying for the sake of companionship. You should get out more. There are plenty of unselfish people in the world. You might like some of them.:)

You missed my point. They're getting married because they don't really care about who they're marrying as long as they have money just as their fiances/husbands care only that their wife is beautiful.

 

Those of us that don't care about money are looking for love and will stay single until we find it.

 

Having money and/or power doesn't get you love. It can get you some beautiful gold diggers that couldn't care less about you. If that's what you're after then go ahead and find your interest in money.

There is a grain of truth to this. Being I am 37 I surely don't want to get involved with a guy who is jobless, can't pay his own bills, is wanting to be taken care of financially and cant hold a job.

 

Yuck. I don't want to be stuck with some guys bills if we should marry and he dies before me... I don't want his debt... I don't want to support another man either totally. I believe in helping one another out but to totally support a man who is lazy and doesn't want to earn his own keep is just ---:sick::sick::sick::sick:

 

So no broke is going to attract me.. Not even for sex.... Geeze I wouldn't want to have another child with a deadbeat loser who can't even help support his own child. I already deal with that....

and one of the components of women's attraction to men is money and power...

 

Pure physical attraction has nothing to do with how much money or power that one has.

Physical attraction for women is a much broader thing than just how their man's body or face looks. Physical attraction for women is composed of hunderds of things, the most impt of which is resouces/money/status/power.

I agree. KNOWBODY wants someone who has to depend on you for everything, especially finances.
