[quote=CA renter][quote=svelte][quote=flyer]Not all beautiful women are vacuous gold diggers, just as not all handsome men are shallow trophy wife collectors, and I have to agree, to each his/her own when choosing a partner for all of the right
reasons–love, happiness, achieving life goals, etc., etc.
The wedding, the ring, the fabulous honeymoon, the great house, and all of the “stuff” are nice, and we’ve all been there, but, IMO, what makes the relationship lasting and beautiful is the deeper bond that’s been forged by things that money can’t buy.[/quote]
Agree with every word.
That’s why alarm bells would go off if I even caught a whiff of a potential spouse that was marrying me for the money. To those who are together for the $$, that’s A-OK with me as long as it works for them. But that’s not what I want my relationships built upon.[/quote]
Should alarm bells go off when a woman catches a whiff of a potential suitor/spouse wanting her for her beauty? (I would say yes.)
It goes both ways.[/quote]
there is a number that is calculable and is calculated every day by our supercomputer brains which tells us the likelihood of successful reproduction with this other. some brains are better able to calculate contingencies and advanced future planning and needs. no other number ultimately matters. we are genetic calculators and we thereofre often act against what seems to be our best interests. nothing about us or our design cares about us.
this ultimately is who we are. it’s not about happiness or compatibiility. it’s about our selfish, selfish genes…
this site is primitive, really kind of dubmb, but may st least show that reaity exists independently of our fantasies.
