There's some truth in MCalavera's words though:

lastly though... the stats in that article are whack, at least in a north american perspective.

Do you belief everything you read in the Torygraph?
The article done have the selective intention of putting a spanner in the works of the Coalition government's pay equity polices!

Relax, white knight. I do not believe everything I read , but I do not 'conspiracize' everything I read as well.


Btw, I made it clear that I am against this mentality (women should seek wealthier men) but I do not deny its common existence, at least in the area where I live.

Funny no matter what women say men define what women are attracted to....

This may sound shallow to you fellows but the first thing I'm going to notice is what he looks like then all falls into place though when it comes to looks, I'm not exactly as picky as you men.

Well, true, most won't care for such factors above if they see other qualities that indicate high security and status. But at the end of the day, most women are quite alike when it comes to mere sexual attraction.

Anyway I can only speak about the women I know. Yes some are interested in dating a man with a high salary with fantasies of being rich one day. But on the whole, women tend to marry men with a temperament and interests that they like. People who marry for material reasons often end up having a very unhappy marriage with both people looking for affection outside the marriage. I dont know why this is being held up as the example of what women want

So... Why not both?????

What is the point that all of you have arguing about?

I have never deny that I(most of women, if not all) have emotional needs that need to be fulfil.

Is there any harm to have a man who have both?

Or possess too much happiness itself is just a sin?

So now, all of a sudden, most women don't care much for height, for whether a man is financially secure, and so on?

Well, true, most won't care for such factors above if they see other qualities that indicate high security and status. But at the end of the day, most women are quite alike when it comes to mere sexual attraction.

Do you want a wimp to be your husband? If not, then you're not as unusual as you may think you are.

if men of higher education and women of lower education are marrying, here is what you end up with:

women + high education ... single
women + medium education ...marry... men + high education
women + low education ...marry... men + medium education
... single... men + low education

do you see how the equation leaves out the low education males and the high education females? how would such a situation happen? i can assure you that high education females do not generally marry men of much lower education. most studies show taht men and women marry someone of equal education, actually, but let's put that aside.

we could assume that nobody wants to be single. but something has to be driving the trends (if we agree it is true). let's first try to assume high education women are the driving force. if they want to mate, have they rejected all of the eligible males in their category of education? perhaps they they are dissatisfied with men in general. which means... high education men have no choice except to marry lower education females.

(we could also look at it from the perspective that low education males want a mate but cannot find one as they have been rejected by all women. fair enough. but... if the low education women have rejected those males and instead go for higher education males.... then why are the medium education men deciding to go for these lower education females?

what i am getting at is the idea that multiple individual and social factors may drive a person to choose a mate of different education, but it is a mistake to assume that women are just deciding to go for higher education males. men are also actors in the decision-making process. the article took some statistics and generated sketchy conclusions about the motivations behind the numbers.

There is no harm in both. But it is not often found in the same package. I think it is better to just date someone who earns an average income. Or a low income, as long as they have genuine reasons for it being such and they are not just lazy/parasitic

I can found some men in the same package... Do not think they are hard to find...

Let us do not be bothered about that please.

Happy Autistic Pride Day!

And we can talk about Zen if you like. As long as it is not in some particular Western sense which made Zen lost its real meaning

Do you mean the Indian one? Or the Chinese one? the Japanese one? the Korean one..........Anyone else?
