Tbh he's right, MOST guys don't care, not all but a vast majority of them. As long as she has a job and isn't a gold digger it doesn't really matter compared to looks or personality. It seems some people are offended by this truth because its generally the opposite for women, they do care about social status.
Spot on we Men know what we like. Wage doesn't matter its how we are attracted to the woman and wanting sex is a big thing for most men. I care if she is kind and sweet and loving. I care that we do have interests and that we can connect.
I couldn't care less about the materialistic things a man can own, but the intelligence and his interests in life shows me much more than just a nice outer shell.
Agreed. Social status, money or fame.. it all means nothing. Just appear like a woman, don't be hideous, have a personality that I like and boom! I want you.
yep, what he said! I'll add... we want emotionally healthy and stable as possible. That throws Marilyn out, she had big issues, in favor of the Barista girl who might be.

Easily the sexiest picture on there is Vault Boy. Instant turn on
I actually try to stay away from girls with fame. I just want a normal girl, not some actress/model. But I do prefer the dominant women in their friend groups. Its just sexy for a women to have power.
I can understand how money could be attractive to some people cause they value financial security or just like a luxurious life. But I still don't understand what social status has to do with dating. I really don't understand how it affects things.

"Sexuality is inherently animalistic, since humans are animals, and money sure doesn't make sex better."
No, but generous men who want to provide for a woman and make her life easier do. When a woman is happy (feels secure and loved/desired) with a man, she wants to have his babies. It's just as natural as it is for a man to want a fertile looking woman. Of course women are also attracted to physical traits, but mostly frame size and muscles for obvious reasons.
Anyway, it's still shallow. Money doesn't make a person. Money doesn't make a man. It's just money. Guys at large don't find money sexually attractive.
Both money and appearance have very little to do with personality. Both are shallow, but we can't help what we're attracted to right? I wanted to explain WHY many women still prefer wealthy or at least financially stable men even if they make their own money. Women tend to avoid talking about it and men label it as shallow without thinking.
Yeah I already know the crummy irrational explanation for it. A lot of guys refer to that mindset as "gold-digging" because it's crummy and irrational, not because we don't understand it.
And no, *physical* attraction preferences aren't shallow-- they're normal. I don't know why you're putting something that is completely unrelated to money... together with money.
Because we're talking about attraction and why women are attracted to men with money while for men being good looking is enough. Your explanation is that women are gold diggers. Lol. Call it whatever you like, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. Thinking a certain way about a person after looking at them for two seconds is shallow. Normal and something everyone does, but shallow.
... No, I didn't say that females are gold-diggers; I said finding money sexually attractive is crummy and irrational. Many other guys call females gold-diggers. I don't. "Normal and something everyone does, but shallow." Then if you acknowledge that everyone does it, what is the point of even saying it? Application of the word "shallow" implies that it's somehow atypical or abnormal behavior. You're basically saying that human nature is shallow, or something. I'm not really sure. And you'd have to include yourself in it, apparently.
It would be abnormally shallow to be with someone only because they're rich or good looking while a normal person just might not give a chance to someone based on those things. For women, it's normal to prefer wealthy men and like you pointed out if it's not abnormally shallow, there's no point in calling it shallow at all I guess.

Basically.
I made a question regarding this. I see you got some inspiration
I didn't see it. Where is it?
This is really a treasure topic hidden amongst unwanted gold.
Spot on we Men know what we like. Wage doesn't matter its how we are attracted to the woman and wanting sex is a big thing for most men.
I care if she is kind and sweet and loving. I care that we do have interests and that we can connect.
The guys who worry about money have not grown up and are very selfish. The act like children to me.
I couldn't care less about the materialistic things a man can own, but the intelligence and his interests in life shows me much more than just a nice outer shell.
Hell yeah. Most definite without a doubt correct. And for me personally I would be more drawn to the coffee shop girl.
I mean the money and fame is nice, but we don't care about it.
Plus you have lower competition at coffee shop and higher chance for a valuable relationship
Agreed. Social status, money or fame.. it all means nothing. Just appear like a woman, don't be hideous, have a personality that I like and boom! I want you.
Not sure about this. I understand why some guys wouldn't care but I have met many who went strictly after some specific types.
I personally got judged by others for my status.
What status?
@IlyaTheImpaler I have always been an outcast, living in my own world, introvert.
just like Luboš Motl! 😍😍😍
yep, what he said!
I'll add... we want emotionally healthy and stable as possible. That throws Marilyn out, she had big issues, in favor of the Barista girl who might be.

Yep.
Yeah i agree majority of guys (not all) dont care about money or fame its always more about appearance then others will follow later
I actually try to stay away from girls with fame. I just want a normal girl, not some actress/model. But I do prefer the dominant women in their friend groups. Its just sexy for a women to have power.
The older a guy gets, the more important things other than looks become to him.
Sounds crazy. But it may be true, sadly.
I can understand how money could be attractive to some people cause they value financial security or just like a luxurious life.
But I still don't understand what social status has to do with dating. I really don't understand how it affects things.

You deserve a thumbs up 👍
" she wants to have his babies." Gross.
Babies gross you out?
Gross.

Agreed. :) It is exciting to think of choosing and elevating a cute and intelligent girl from a fairly humble background.
I prefer you to use Jessica Rabbit in place of Marilyn Monroe but okay.
It's still an accurate and true article.
Well... fair enough but she's a cartoon character. Literally.
Well, yeah, she is but that didn't stop some women from cosplaying her.
She's a sex goddess!
It's easy to replicate her, considering we ignore changing the hair color of course.
Men are not hypergamous.
Because pussy, my dear. It has a power all its own.
bro, what're you implying? That women won't give two shits if you aren't wealthy and famous?😡😤
Huh? Um... no, this post is clearly about guys, and our interest toward girls. Not the other way around. It's... kind of right there in the title...
then its allright
its just that some assholes have sexist posts here, I'm sorry for misunderstanding
Uh... okay
