Money/Power vs. Appearance - Which is really the most shallow?


Kaftan Barlast

Recommended Posts

You might as well ask if attraction in general is shallow.. Nothing wrong with women being attracted to successful/rich men, as they have proven, from a biological standpoint, that they are capable of supplying for themselves and a family.

 

Nothing wrong with men being attracted to beauty either, as that signifies good genes (which is why we find them attractive to begin with).

 

It's all biology baby, nothing shallow about it.

Looking healthy signifies good genes 'beauty' is a cultural and social construct entirely unrelated. Plenty of examples of beauty ideals that are unhealthy.

To be clear, I believe a lot of the reason why models are so skinny isn't necessarily because we consider that to be teh sexy, but because it's easy to make clothes for living coat hangers.

 

 

Add in some curves and then you have to do a lot more effort in order to make the clothes look good.

 

 

I heard this from a woman, that wasn't a model, so go figure.

Must we always have this... Im not gay, ok? I kind of thought these threads would have proved that by now. Im not the type of guy, who is gay, its as simple as that. Im as straight as a reasonably straight object, like a stick or a garden hose.

 

 

Its just like when you pick up a hot prostitute that turns out to be a man, its just deceitful and mean behaviour.

Or it's hilarious!

 

 

I am willing to agree that under the right circumstances, hillarity would ensue.

I think Kaftan is worried, him being a game designer and all, that women only wants to have his babies because of his wealth and influence, hence the recent threads :ermm:

I just hold out hope that the inherent geekiness is appealing to some aesthetically pleasing, and financially secure, woman :ermm:

A wealthy partner will provide a comfortable life for you personally...

 

Depends on the partner. In my experience, generally the wealthy partner wants you to be more than what you are now. They want you to be 'successful' in some way and want to show you off to their wealthy friends. The partner may help you be successful which means 'work'. And when I say work, you are expected to work hard to be successful. No laying back and taking it easy, playing computer games, reading comic books or other 'kids' stuff. If you read something, it's got to be something about business. If you're surfing the internet, it's got to be something about business. etc. That's why you generally see rich people go out with other rich people.

Actually, I meant talk about getting dumped for a rich/powerful dude or something.

 

But, you can talk about that too if it troubles you so much.

Thats a branch, not a stick. And that garden hose has obviously been tampered with.

 

 

... Also, try to keep the misogygny on an entertaining level...

 

Exactly what level of misogyny do you find entertaining... hmmm?

 

When is a goat the most goat it can be? Its tricky since it largely depends on circumstance, add also that it can be entertaining both when used with subtlelty as well as when its blatantly displayed. As the pope said "I dont know much about X, but I know what I like".

After much reflection (mostly on these fora) I have decided I treat my choice of partners the way a Victorian explorer treats foreign countries. I like variety, and in my time I've gone for looks, personality, intellect, insanity, being a nurse, being a trained killer etc etc.

 

I think most people, male an female treat partnering like trading for a carpet. They sort of weigh up what they've got and seek out someone slightly better than themselves. Maybe that's sensible, and maybe I'm being adversely brainwashed by LoF, but don't you think that's rather a revolting notion? That one, and the object of one's love should be weighed like a pound of flour, or an ipod? Love ought to be more than a calculation, surely, if it is to be worthy of the name?

All lies. In truth I was just having a cup of coffee and came up with a brilliant argument if there ever was a thread about this, so I started a thread about it. Pure genius.
