It's makes no difference. Guys are expected to pay for everything so we're way more aggressive trying to get ahead. There's way more pressure on us to earn more so until that changes, nothing will change

[Luopio27]

You are right. A guy who is good looking and a girl thats good looking. out of those two who work a minimum wage job in McDonalds, a male version of a high profile millionaire celebrity would far more likely accept the burger girl than the female celebrity would with the guy!

[Anonymous]

Of course not. Same with wealth. We pursue those things almost ENTIRELY to be able to have sex with hot women.

[MisterWack]

I see it from the standpoint of self improvement & needing money to survive.

Men & Women strive to be the best they can be and depending on that definition for the individual means different things. Getting a driver’s license to drive their mom’s beaten up station wagon from the 90s, graduating from college with a degree in Computer Science, to making enough money to start a local business, etc. Point is, humans are designed to be accomplishing goals, shooting for the stars, and doing things for their best interest at heart which getting paid so you can buy goods & services is a necessity.
We need money to put food on the table, keep the lights on, have a good time on the town, have dates, etc. without it, you have nothing… Which will always keep men longing for a stable career, nice wages, and a good work ethic to keep their position afloat.

Yes because they like getting the respect of other men. They don't care much about impressing women, they mostly care about impressing men.

[RingOfFire]

Difficult question to answer because men pursuing power and status and women craving men who are powerful and have status is in our genetic makeup as part of our evolution.

I think that this is less of a conscious choice for both men and women and more of an instinct that comes from their genetic evolution.

So and asking this question, you are suggesting that womens' natural instinct would be changed.

If you assume that that means evolution of the human genetic makeup had progressed differently than it actually did there's no telling what the result would be.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I don't think lust for power is gender based. I see culture and upbringing. Look at kids, they want to own the world at such a young age, a girl, a boy, they both want power, to be all mighty. We're not supposed to let them growing with such unsupervised lust. We're supposed to stop them.

But it's difficult, look at parents. Look at them, look at us, we wanted the world and we have it now. We have so much power over nature. So far.

Truly happy men are often happy with very little. You survive some life altering emergency or illness or loss and your perspective will shift. What you assume now will come into focus. You can only take those you love with you.. if lucky.

Money, power, fame. All those things you assume attract woman only attract that sort of woman.

[Malbonaviro]

The chicken comes before the egg on this one. Guys aren't chasing power because it attracts women. Guys didn't build society simply because it attracted women did they? Guys built society because they have testosterone and it helped their muscles repair fast enough to continue working the next day, giving them a huge advantage to build up for the challenges they would have to deal with in the future.

[236color]

Some guys are more competitive than others, so yes at least some of them would. The stupidly wealth don't do because they need the money. I've heard one of them quoted as saying, "It's a game, money is how we keep score."

[Vegasrunner]

That's a great question. Probably not, women are a byproduct of a man's success. So if you didn't get them as a result of money and power less guys would invest time and energy chasing it.

[Nikki1989]

Clueless, delusional men will always think they need money, power and status. The smart guys know better.

[FoxnEagle]

Some men chase power, some men chase what women want.

It's not going to change the men that chase power.

[Finchie40]

Only to the guys’ that think power and status is the only way to get a girl , they might be surprised that they been wrong the whole time ,

[paledreams]

Women want looks and personality as much as I want looks and personality in my women woman ♀️

[paledreams]

Lol 🤍

[LiamJHayden]

Everyone else can seek status and the such. I seek financial freedom, and will not change that for anyone.

[SuchSightsToShowYou]

Guys would still chase power and status, but they would lie and pretend they didn't have any when they talked to women.

[Noodle_fan]

If u are being succesful person , no matter if u are men or women , the person who would enjoy it most would be urself , not anyone else

[Apple1996]

Men would still keep wanting power because they do that to have other men simp after them. It's rarely ever for women

[Asker]

You don't understand guys if you think this. Everything they do is for access to sex. If guys had unlimited access to sex with young hot women they would all be homeless.

[Apple1996]

It's true men do shit to impress other men. They even get hot women for sex to impress other men lol

[Asker]

Oh for sure, but that's not the primate driver. That's all secondary

[Apple1996]

It's why they do it

[Asker]

Not at all. Biological drive makes us want the best looking girls, and power and status get men to that. It's why famous athletes and celebrities have quadruple digit body counts.

[Apple1996]

There's nothing attractive about having a big body count

[Apple1996]

My biological drive would make me not want to mate with men like that

[Asker]

It's not supposed to be attractive. And those guys wouldn't care about what you want because they'd have unlimited access to hot young women

[Apple1996]

Those hot young women also could share a similar opinion as me

[Asker]

Sure but there's enough that don't

[Apple1996]

There isn't. Being a young hot women in modern times is already extremely rare. Throw a few opposing opinions in that mix and there's like none. Options are limited for even the best men

[Apple1996]

If men didn't have such high standards they wouldn't have to work that hard to get women

[Asker]

There are millions of hot young girls in rotation. Never a shortage.

Men obviously lower their standards to the bare minimum, or else there'd be countless female virgins. But powerful, high status men aren't lowering their standards. They're banging the best quality girls

[Apple1996]

They don't lower their standards they just complain. And I don't know about the no shortage thing like have you seen gen z women? I'm not gonna hate but many of them are meh in terms of looks

[Asker]

They obviously lower their standards when it comes to performance. Sure they complain about only having the option to sleep with unattractive women, but they're still doing it lol.

Gen z does look weird now, but I fuck them all the time since there are still enough skinny ones. Sure, every generation is getting heavier than the last, but the Gen z is still lighter right now than millennials are.

[Apple1996]

Many millennials are in better shape then gen z lol not to sure about weird looking but maybe a bit like they're doing weird shit like shaving off all their hair. I seen that with a few of them 😅

[Asker]

Shaving off all hair is a W though

[Apple1996]

You like bald women?

[Asker]

Below the neck ☠️

[Apple1996]

I meant like their hair on their heads

[Apple1996]

Many gen z women are bringing the bush back so not below the neck lol

[Asker]

I'll be skipping those ones though

[Apple1996]

No hate I also skip over bald dudes lol

[Asker]

As you should. We all have attraction standards and we shouldn't compromise them because society pushes us to

[Apple1996]

Yep bald men have bad genes so it's hard to want to mate with them

[Asker]

Exactly. There's a reason we have standards and it's not some hate thing. Same reason why I like skinny girls with pretty faces. Good genes.

[Apple1996]

Skinny isn't necessarily a good gene. Skinny people are more likely to die in nature/from diseases

[Asker]

Fat people have poor self control, which is a genetic flaw. Or they're lazy, which is also a genetic flaw. And it correlates with bad health, either way.

[Apple1996]

It's acutally much bigger of a issue to have a skinny kid tho. Failure to thrive for low weight percentages. Unfortunately have been dealing with this for years with my own kids because me and my hubby are naturally skinny

[Asker]

You might be talking about underweight. I'm talking about the American version of skinny which means in shape.

[Apple1996]

Nah I'm just meaning skinny/fit in general not being underweight

[Asker]

Then you're misunderstanding the health benefits of being in shape compared to overweight. Being overweight is the highest cause of early death.

[Apple1996]

Being overweight can acutally be protective to many diseases. I've tried keeping weight on for these reasons

[Apple1996]

If you look up what the obesity paradox is you'll see but obviously if you like skinny women that's just a preferences it's okay

[Asker]

And if you look at overall statistics, being overweight is a massive health risk. Nearly every single study on the topic confirms this. And it's still the single deadliest health risk in the US. It's also connected to lower fertility.

[Apple1996]

I wouldn't believe that to much. I was infertile for 4 years because of being to small

[Asker]

You can look at the statistics and studies about it. Being underweight isn't healthy either and no one is saying it is.

[Apple1996]

I was acutally at a "healthy" bmi at the time lol not underweight

[Asker]

Then you're an exception to the rule. And the rule is still very clear in modern medicine.

[Unit1]

Yeah. A Ferrari is a Ferrari. Or a beachfront home. What's not to like?

[Quigly]

Girls are turned off by power and status, that's a control freak.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes, because too many men are wrapped up in gaining wealth, fame and power.

[red-lipstick-girl]

İLEYes, the result would not change.

[SmileyLady]

Yes, I think they would.

[Crazzyyworld]

World is a freakshow
