- hackinthebochs 14y agoI've had this discussion on reddit far too many times with too many incredulous responses to what is plainly obvious if you're willing to see it: http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~rakison/bussandschmitt.pdf http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~rakison/bussandschmitt.pdf Yes, women seek men with status and financial security. I'd give you a pointer to a specific line or paragraph, but its all relevant.
- astrodust 14y agoMen seek out highly attractive women using different criteria, but that doesn't mean they're successful. There's a difference between wanting something and demanding it.
- hackinthebochs 14y agoI'm not sure what your point is.
- astrodust 14y agoMaybe I'd like to work for a company that gives me a yacht, but I'm not going to demand a yacht as terms of employment.
- transitionality 14y agoYou'll have a much better shot at getting it if you explicitly make it part of your negotiation process, since most companies won't think to include it on their own.
- hackinthebochs 14y agoI'm not sure what your point is.
- gizzlon 14y agoAll the boring but stable and decently successful men that get laid like crazy.. oh, wait..
- sp332 14y agoWe're not talking about getting laid, we're talking about getting married. Fact is, married people get way more sex than single people.
- astrodust 14y agoSo the world is filled with gold-diggers? No. Not true. You'll find it shocking that in some parts of the world people are happily married without any jewelry at all.
- Goronmon 14y agoI find it shocking that there are people that think that a woman wanting financial security makes that woman a 'gold-digger'.
- astrodust 14y agoThere is an enormous difference between wanting financial security and wanting someone to buy them a giant diamond ring as a token of it.
- maratd 14y agoNo, there isn't. If the girl is even slightly intelligent, she will want proof of that financial security and a diamond ring is adequate proof that she can verify on her own.
- Nursie 14y agoIf she's even slightly intelligent they will have discussed finances well ahead of the wedding, probably lived together for some time and know the situation very well. A shiny rock is not a proxy for communication.
- astrodust 14y agoIf the girl is even slightly intelligent she'll be able to make an assessment without needing a glittery ring. Maybe you think that flashing your wealth, not unlike a peacock fanning out their feathers, will get you a mate. It probably will, but it will probably be the kind of mate that is attracted to money.
