All the messages in that movie really bother me just because it's so unrelatable as a man. Many women I know see it as just a prince charming story and like it because of that. Aside from the corporate raiding married man picking up prostitutes on business travel, I think I'd find it more relatable if there was a world where women were reliably scooping up men while the man's life was in shambles and changing their life situation. But no, if you want companionship as a man even if its the unhealthy kind, you have to have a big expense account. 1 out of 5

Would you chase after a fat, ugly, disgusting woman? I'm guessing no unless you were incredibly desperate. Most women are attracted to a man's status and success the way most men are attracted to physical beauty. You don't need a lot of money, but women don't want to hang around with loser.

  > Most women are attracted to a man's status and success the way most men are attracted to physical beauty. oh wow, I never heard of that happening before thanks for the tip. Like I said, the movie itself would be more relatable if any possibility of the circumstances were relatable for a man. For women its practical to dream about a man choosing them for qualities they were born with while the man created every circumstance in their own life to obtain wealth and security before eventually decide to choose that woman, and that movie caters to that. It took me a while to figure out why certain romance movies were unappealing and predictably so between genders, and that's what it is. I don't actually care about or mind the reality. The extent of my point is that watching depictions of it aren't interesting when no part of it is something you can dream about and have a chance of it happening.

  A 40% of American women are obese, men still chase after them. 2.2 million more women go to collage than men, that’s one of these signs that women slowly becoming the breadwinners is many relationships with a surprising number of stay at home dads (2+ million). In older couples it’s also not that rare for men to be unable to find work near retirement and women end up as the sole income. Gender stereotypes may have some truth to them, but it’s far less than most people seem to think. Everything else being equal, most women would prefer to date attractive men and most men would prefer to date wealthy women.
