Thus I would not say that a woman being a gold digger is bad. It is how she chooses to live her life according to her priorities. I wish her the best for it. I don't see any reason to hate someone based on them having taking a liking for money. | ||

To base a relationship on looks only, or mostly will make it unstable over the years, unless you change the basis of the relationship. If you base your relationship on looks alone (or any singular trait alone), you will have a bad time. Once again I direct you to the point that this is rarely condoned in our society. Men who date hot women and are bossed around by them are not admired since we also value self-autonomy and classic views of masculinity. | ||

We're pretty much of the same opinion, as can be seen in my first post. | ||

Save the condenscending attitude there fella, nobody gives a rats ass how old and experienced you think you are. You got so caught up emotionally in my opening post you missed the point completely. And lol on the "little taste of the real world". | ||

But is superficiality a bad thing? I don't think so, it's simply biological. Decide - which is it? Personal preference or biology? If the former: personal preferences can be terrible (subjectivism is pretty bad); if the latter: whatever is natural does not necessarily have to be good (naturalistic fallacy).Women attracted to men with money because their lifestyle / children will be taken cared of. Is this a bad thing? No. It's just personal preference. Once we realize every single one of us is guilty of superficiality, it no longer becomes a measure to judge people on. This is a tu quoque fallacy: You attack person x for arguing that we should not be superficial by pointing out that they're a hypocrite. But being a hypocrite does not logically invalidate one's arguments. | ||

That's just a leftover from earlier masculine ideals. On February 22 2013 04:38 Shival wrote: Then I guess we were only discussing pedantics.

Take me as a chemical engineer for example, I could get together with some dumb blonde that has no idea what I do and doesn't give a shit about it. I'll buy her stuff to make her happy, she lets me have sex with her and I'm happy? Is that really all it would take too fulfill me? My answer is no. I atleast want to have something incommon with the mother of my childen, it's not something I could share with a woman I don't respect and love. Maybe that makes me a hopeless romantic, but I'll keep waiting for it. To be clear I don't mind others doing this, I just couldn't really commit to a relationship such as that myself. | ||

Likewise, a person who desires beautiful partners as a status symbol is very different from a person who desires beautiful partners because they particularly enjoy beauty. | ||

However the reason people react to relationships based on "money in exchange for beauty" is not only the obvious parallel to prostitution, but also the lack of a foundation based on love and common interests.

Random butt-in: you don't want to talk about prostitutes when discussing "money in exchange for beauty". Maybe courtesans. | ||

And biologically speaking, women have to be more careful about emotional things such as sex cuz it affects them waaaay more than it does for men. They should be more careful about emotional things, but they arent. They give in to their emotion all the time even tho it can be the dumbest thing to do. Currently experiencing a great example of this in the form of my gf's best friend. Bitches be crazy... OT: I can only understand the "golddigger" mentality if the woman's attraction is based on her attraction to the qualities that got the man his money, like ambition, ingenuity, brilliance, hardworking, dedicated, etc. However, what ive seen is girls that want to marry a rich guy out of pure laziness (so they never have to work) or some notion of their only job being to raise the family and be a loyal wife for their husband's family (which who is to say that is wrong, just opinion). Men may be more shallow when it comes to looks i believe because of the prevalence of beautiful models and how every man aspires to have one from a young age. As a whole society seems to be okay with the fact that men are supposed to want a girlfriend that's a model, and every woman feels like they need to try their best to be that model (because that's what men want?). Maybe there is just too much emphasis all around on physical beauty? Just my thoughts | ||
