There is a range for everything. The traditional mentality is that men is the provider thus women look upon men as a source of income and men don't tend to do the reverse. Why is it bad when women chase men of money? The amount of money that women need to live "comfortably" is subjective. It's when a woman defines comfort level to the high end and disregard all other aspects that is when respect are lost. Also, I'm not going to marry a woman who is a total jobless bum either (not the one who is unemployed because of economic reason). Yes, men are chasing women for her appearance and there is a range there as well, but the reverse is quite true.

We call it superficial because is. Here is the definition: a (1) : of, relating to, or located near a surface (2) : lying on, not penetrating below, or affecting only the surface. Money is something that is outside of someone and not intrinsic to them. Looks however are a reflection of their biological makeup. People with good genes are attractive. It is below the surface as it is part of their DNA.

How is it superficial to want/find attractiveness in your partner? I'd be worried for you if you didn't rate attractiveness high on your preferability scale. Good luck ever having a decent sex life, which, imho almost dooms any relationship from the start. You need the physical AND the emotional attraction. It isn't one or the other. Now, money has nothing to do with either of those things (well in some sense, since more money = better physique is possible..., but I digress), for the most part. Hence, it being superficial. I can't stand gold diggers. Most of them are emotionally atrocious, but they do look good. Not a good combination for a lasting relationship, but most men with money just want some booty, so its a good short term fit for them. Most people however, want both aspects of a successful relationship.

I had this argument with my ex, that if she ever got 'fat' if I would dump her. Let's just say I tip toed around that one as much as possible. When we're 65 it is one thing (but hell, I still want to look like Robby Robinson when I'm 65!), but take some respect for yourself and your partner in the meantime.

For reference: RR @ 64.

There's more to attraction than just your biological makeup.

To me it is all the same. Wanting someone for their looks has equal weighting to wanting someone for their money, both require no need to know the person on a deeper level so for one camp to call the other shallow is strange to me.

Because one is needed for a successful relationship and the other isn't? As human beings we need sex. Obviously we need some amount of money, but when people flaunt money they're talking the girls who refuse to notice anyone who doesn't drive around in Ferrari's or own 4+ BR houses.

Attraction is almost entirely based on evolutionary instinct and men and woman are looking for different traits in their partner, its not to do with men being more superficial than woman or vice versa.

Men want an attractive woman because if you have children with an attractive woman then your children are more likely to be attractive, which means they will be more likely to have children in the future, passing your genes on. Also particular features most men find attractive like wide hips are more ideal for bearing children.

Women look for more things, but at the end of the day their basic instinct is survival, so they will go for men with features that make them more likely to survive, although obviously the meaning of survival in a first world country is a lot different to the meaning when we lived in caves and hunted for our food. Attractiveness plays a part still because attractive man=more attractive children, but factors like money and a guys general alphaness are more important because a guy that displays these things will be a better provider.

Also things change depending on the stage of live the man or woman is in.

A younger man will still find more ideal mothers more attractiveness, but they will likely lower their standards because most young guys want sex but not children.

A younger woman may rate attractiveness higher because it doesn't matter if the guy is also a poor student if you're not planning to have children for a few more years.

If your partners looks is such an important criteria for that relationship to exist I wouldn't say that this relationship is more "successful" than one that has wealth as the deciding criteria.

^ lol

The only reason its looked down upon more with women is when a woman wants their potential partner to prove he can support them it costs him, leading to bitterness if there is a fallout.

Whereas men know whether their prospective partner is suitable or not with no cost applied.

Everyone is shallow though no shit, the only people I have met that have said they aren't shallow are either lying or ugly. But yeah, emotional compatibility should be considered as well when deciding long term partners, when people enter relationships based on what their loins tell them they usually break up or live unhappily ever after.

Just because you yourself do it, doesn't mean its not bad.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

I think you misunderstand.

A gold digger isn't attracted to the man at all, she is there for the money.

The difference is that a woman can be attracted to a man that is successful, and be with him, even if he is stingy with his money.

If a gold digger was with a rich man, and the rich man didn't allow her to spend a ton of his money, she would leave in a heartbeat.

If we were to apply the same logic to males. This would be like a male dating a female purely for looks, he would drag her around with his friends purely for showing off, but whenever the female wanted anything, even sex, he would say no unless he really had to.

well beauty and monet is different. if a man likes a woman cause she is pretty, he likes her. if a woman likes a man because he has money, well she just likes money not the man.

It's okay, if you're lonely AND too poor to pay for your physical needs, you can always learn how to summon a Succubus.

When I look at a girl, the first question I ask myself is "can I afford her?"

I wonder if the topic was "Women that like Men that are taller than them, is that bad?" would it get the same response? Essentially the same topic, except one is genetic and one is social.

And yet the majority of women are superficial about height which says nothing good about a man other than maybe you'll look great in photos together.

Everyone has superficial needs. Things they appraise at face value.

Also @ Dbars: best of luck with the future man. Stories like that though scared me off dating unless I knew a person really well for most of my life though haha.
