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.
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!
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.
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
HS = High School. He was a helluva guy. He issued history books with the instruction to put them under our beds until the end of the year because he didn’t need a book to teach us history, but the state required they be issued.
I searched Carleas’ history for “human” and was told I can’t use that word. Then I tried “obviously human” and got 9000 results. Been trying for two days to find where I’m sure I saw that he lifted the moderator approval requirement for someone who was “obviously human” who posted about it in meta.
