(of course I haven't given up on the opposite sex) I'm waiting on a soul mate (aren't we all) she of course would have to have the same values I try for -money + integrity + honesty + transparency. Finding that is probably like hitting the lottery but better
- mattmaroon 18y agoIf a woman were willing to live in a room in a barn, or a farmed dome, you probably wouldn't want her. Read some evolutionary psychology books if you're curious as to why that is. Money is, to women, a proxy for other things.
- bokonist 18y agoDon't women tend to go for the starving artist? But I think your more general point is sound. If you forsake money, you will need to find another signal of fitness, like power or being a great dancer.
- menloparkbum 18y agoIn the bay area, standard evolutionary psychology doesn't apply. The millions of dollars you make are negated by your bad hairdo and greenish-white LCD tan. The best bet for finding a woman in the bay is to get tattoo sleeves and become a popular bartender.
- mattmaroon 18y agoFrom my experience its the other way around. Your bad hairdo and greenish-white LCD tan are more than negated by the millions of dollars you make. That certainly seemed to be the case when I went anywhere nice.
- thaumaturgy 18y agoI don't think we've met the same women. Evolutionary psychology makes for very reasonable generalizations that just happen to completely ignore things like cultural values. There are some pretty fun, reasonably attractive women up on the northern coast of California (Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte counties), and likely further up the coast into Oregon, that would be intrigued by that kind of lifestyle.
