Short experiment presents a majority of several women surveyed as gold diggers

[palette]

I'm sorry, I couldn't take the woman at one minute in the video seriously. That's a gold digger right there.

Me, I'm a female. I'm totally uninterested in the car. I'm more interested in being with someone who makes me happy physically and emotionally. Where does a car come into that? A car or an OMFG pay check won't make me love someone any more or any less. Or any other possession for that matter. I'm not that shallow.

:

Also, I don't like this whole thing about 'choosing' a partner. Whatever happened to just simply falling in love with someone who makes you happy? Or not wanting to/being able to reproduce? How about gay/lesbian couples?

I've never been in a love, give and take relationship before.

According to AskMen.com you don't know what you really want as a woman, "creature of nature."

"If you ask any woman what she's looking for in a man, she'll come out with a long list of ennobling qualities: a sense of humor; a guy who's nice to her and treats her well; good values; a strong moral character, etc.

Uh huh. Right. And she'll leave footprints all over Mr. Sense of Humor as she scrambles to be first in line when an arrogant, philandering, single doctor roars up in his Ferrari."

"Let's be honest -- if women really chose men based on what they say they're looking for, then every nice, average guy out there would be besieged with females trying to go out with him. But nice, average guys generally stay home on the weekends with a date from the back room of the local video store.

Many women lie. They are experts at self-deceit because if they ever admitted to themselves what they really want from men, then they'd be forced to acknowledge that they don't really want a "nice" guy.

The most important reality a man can understand about female behavior is this: never pay attention to what a woman says -- watch what she actually does ." (Ask Men.com)

"And what does she actually do? When it comes to choosing men, she heads straight for the cash. What women want most from men -- and therefore the criterion most significant to them in selecting a mate -- is money.

For the majority of women, dating and marriage are businesses. Women marry up, not down. A man will marry a woman who scrubs the floor at a slaughterhouse if she's nice and pretty enough -- but if she's nice and she's pretty and she's working at the slaughterhouse, you can rest assured she's there because she's got her eye on the owner of the company.

When a woman says all the good ones are taken, she means all the ones with money. The man who changes her oil or checks her groceries might very well be a great guy capable of loving her dearly, but she wouldn't even consider him as a potential suitor because he doesn't have enough earning power.

Some women are blatant about their mercenary choices, openly choosing men with substantial material assets that they can sex-ploit . But most are subconscious hypocrites, screening out less successful men without admitting it to themselves. They publicly announce that all they want is a nice guy, but privately disregard any men who don't meet their elevated standards for money, success, and status.

There's proof that all they want is money"

(Ask Men.com)

"In one breath they proclaim, "I don't care how much money a man makes. I can make my own money," and in the next, "But whoever I date has to have a status (read: money) job." All other men without this "status job," no matter how nice, intelligent or funny, will be ignored.

The flagrant hypocrisy is brushed under the carpet. The only reason a woman will choose a man without money is if he's on the fast track to a high-earning career -- she views this as an investment of her time and a payment plan for the use of her female goods.

Clinical studies, conducted by Robert Trivers et al., show that women value financial prospects about twice as highly as men do, having higher standards regarding financial prospects at all stages of a relationship. In fact, in any given year, American men who marry generally earn 50% more money than men of the same age who do not marry."

A site just for men is a in-crowd. In-crowds like to have their own rules. Knowledge is supposed to be power.

Stereotypes and generalizations can be a powerful tool in controlling large numbers of people. It's an art and it takes gifted, creative (intelligent even) writers to do it, but it can be done.

True or not, I remain conscious of the world around me and am able to remain objective to what is presented to me.

Too many people use the internet as a gate way to wisdom.

It's of course left open for speculation, true or not. I personally don't read much of this sort of thing anymore.

That short experiment was definitely short. And predictable.

I know what you mean.
