There’s so many fallacies and flaws in your arguments, that you merely repeat, that addressing them is not really worth my time.
And “being loyal” is not based on gender. Men and women, both, demand loyalty from each other. That should be obvious and common sense. But of course, loyalty is earned. Loyalty is based on respect.
As long as you keep repeating your fallacies and flawed arguments, I’m not going to respond. Go ahead with the last word if you want.
Sloppy tenths applies to men also.
There is no way I would consider a man to marry if he were poor or promiscuous. There is nothing admirable in poverty and only creates hardship for the woman and any future offspring. Poverty in a man represents and shows his failures. I don’t want to be responsible for a man’s upkeep.
Physical looks in a man. I have never been attracted to ‘Hollywood’ type men. Looks are not that important, health is.
So when did you get your lobotomy?
This makes perfect sense in my experiences. Refreshingly honest.
Yeah, you realize, don’t you Shieldy, that you’re reinforcing the stereotype that women only like men for their money, right? Thanks for providing yourself as a living example.
Why wouldn’t they? Money is value. In the real world, emotional support, political agreement, physical attraction are all things that one can survive without. Gotta have that money and if you don’t have enough then life becomes a bitch really fast. It’s like one of those things that everyone really knows but doesn’t like to talk about…I mean…everything is, and always has been for sale. There’s always going to be those who complain about the price.
Totally agree with you Mr R, beautifully said.
There is a price for everything and that includes looking after yourself.

Why did you chose to ignore that I also stated I would look for a man of honourable character and good health?
Gib…What woman wants a man who struggles with a drug or alcohol addiction, and
Urwrong1000…
if a woman has the audacity to express certain attributes she deems necessary in her man of choice she is labelled ‘a snob’. LOL
You want the best of and in a woman, in that case you have to present equally or beyond for her.
That wasn’t a separate statement from how I interpret it. You said a man’s wealth status is indicative of his character and health.

I know this wasn’t directed at me, but this is one of those cases where we get to say: it has nothing to do with you being a woman (AFAIK). It has to do with you being… Australian!

OOOH SNAAPP!!!
No I didn’t say that. Common sense will tell you that not all men of wealth are of honourable character and some have the ‘love’ of money which then renders it useless.
Money is a necessity today in this society and without it misery prevails.
Mr Micawber’s famous, and oft-quoted, recipe for happiness:
"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen [pounds] nineteen [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness.
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
Charles Dickens, David Copperfield
Interestingly, the inspiration for this quote is attributed to Dickens’ own father, a perpetual debtor who eventually wound up in the Marshalsea debtor’s prison. This period of time for Dickens, who was only 12 years old, had a profound effect on him.

Hey Shieldy,
I think I’m gonna leave this conversation as it stands.
Money is a necessity, not only in today’s world but since time immemorial. I always wonder though: can that be equated with love?
Well I hate to see a good man go, but if I may add the words of my own noted but mostly unheard of poet-dad, to quote,-:
‘Money is mostly funny’.
And another very famous chanteuse , ‘what has love got to do with it’'?
Money is equated with peace for without it there is only struggle.
I agree that sloppy tenths applies to men also. Only men push the idea that women desire male [Edit: slutdom rather than] whoredom.
Money doesn’t make the world go round, but it oils the wheels.
What is “male whoredom”?
Oh yeah? Check this out: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=189596&hilit=conveyor+belt&start=75#p2585290
That would be a male gigolo, but what I meant were male sluts, male slutdom. My apologies, correction made.
I recently asked a man in his 60s what percentage of men frequent different prostitutes beds [ie. men who have intercourse with more than one prostitute] and he answered a whopping 50% have slept with more than one prostitute. Really? Shockingly high.
What would explain this difference is simple. Men are visually aroused which is easily provided by women in most public places with curve hugging outfits, revealing outfits, flawless makeup, etc. Women on the other hand need more mental stimulation and verbal intimacy which isn’t easily accessible in public places. So men are always becoming aroused and women aren’t.
Cool! How long did it take you to find that old post? 
My HS history teacher said that and I just happened to remember. Something about this thread loosened the gears in my head 
So what’s a male slut? Is that like a male whore who doesn’t get paid?
^ In other words, an ordinary guy?
And you believed him?
^ Your insight into the differences between men and women is impecable, Wendy.
