Nick,
Women value men like men value shovels or some other kind of tool. She uses him to get kids, a house, status, etc, it's not very complicated. Man's value of Woman is much more complex. He subconsciously forms an ideal of her and surrenders himself to it, worshiping it to gain it's acceptance through women who embody it. Without it he is left out in the cold desert of his own thoughts where he often perishes.
I have kids, a house, money, status, and your "etc.", and I still feel attached to my ideal of a man. I live alone, in case it is not clear to you. The things I would want from a man, if I were to ever go for one again, would be more like love and respect, not status and wealth.
Woman's value of man seems just as complex to me. At the very least, you have done a terrible job proving your point.
The underlying differences here are immense, but I'm sure you don't see that.
And I'm sure you do, but don't understand them well enough to explain them. It is subconscious knowledge at best.
No it doesn't, because she can always reject the bid.
If the bid is ever placed in her name. She may be a great catch, but not the type that looks outrageous, and other women get bid on instead of her.
This is especially powerful when there is no shortage of bidders.
As long as there are more gay men than gay women, and more educated men than educated women, there will always be a shortage of bidders. If you can show me evidence of a place where such shortage does not exist, and that place is not extremely cold like Alaska, I'd consider moving there.
The "object" or woman in this case does a damn good job of getting the bidder interested if you ask me. Men are throwing their lives away left and right for her sack of blood, bones, and shit.
IMO, many more women are throwing their lives away for men than men throwing their lives away for women. Women are hopeless romantics, and follow their hearts, especially the young ones.
Shahrazad: For that study, "big" was anyone who was 5 pounds overweight. Try doing that poll with women who are 100+ pounds overweight, and see how much sex they are getting. Hint: they aren't getting any.
Nick: So a couple of heffers get left in the dust, big deal.
Not just the fat ones get left there. There's also the shy ones, the smart but spacey ones, those with physical defects, the ugly ones, the old ones, the masculine ones, and on and on and on. Perhaps only the ones that look like models have rows of men chasing them. And even they will only have those rows while they are quite young.
I've got news for you: less than 3% of women look like models.
Shah, most of what you contribute to this forum doesn't amount to anything more than gossip and opinion.
Who have I gossiped about?
I don't think you give two shits about the purpose of it, I'm not even sure why you spend your time here,
First, what I really don't give two shits about is what other bloggers think I am doing here. Second, if you don't know why I'm here, it's kind of stupid for you to assume I don't care about GF's purpose. Third, if you really think you have truth on your side, you should do a lot better than ad hominem as an argument.
except of course to follow Dan around and bits of "forum drama".
Oh, that's a real good one. There are other places where I could go if I wanted to "follow Dan around". Australia, for instance. He doesn't blog here much any more.
But if you think you know enough to call me a "QRS" wannabe, perhaps you could give me a detailed definition and explanation of what the "QRS" actually is.
Now why in the world would I want to engage in such a time-consuming activity for you? What could I possibly get out of it? Impressing you by showing that I know what "QRS actually is"?
