Humans do this, not just women. Your study that shows men ages 18-45 unilaterally find young women physically attractive does not prove in the slightest that a 35+ year old man is going to prefer a 21 year old woman to settle down with. Rofl -- out of my group of 4-5 good male friends, most of us are in our late 20s and we would be very very wary of pursuing a woman that wasn't a college grad. Its just such a large life experience gap that its a huge turn off. I absolutely guarantee you none of my buddies will be chasing a 22 year old when he is 45. We want our girlfriends/wives to be PEERS, someone to challenge us and to hold us to higher standards -- we do not want them to think ("Ohhhh cooooool you have your own place? Let me suck your dick.")No, it's a fancy word meaning that a woman will go after both the best provider she is able to get to commit to her, as well as the sexiest man she is able to fuck.
Rarely are those two in the same person. Usually she will go after the sexiest men from about 16-29, starting at about 26 she'll start looking for a better provider.
I'm sorry... where do you fall into this equation again?No, it's a fancy word meaning that a woman will go after both the best provider she is able to get to commit to her, as well as the sexiest man she is able to fuck.
No. That's actually not what they are saying and there is very ample evidence out there to support what they are saying. Which is that women prefer men who are more successful than they themselves are and can take on the role of "provider". Even if the woman is successful herself.So in deadeyes' and dumar's world view women can not support themselves. They must rely on men to provide everything? They dont work?
Please tell me you are being hypergamous and persuing a woman who is a dentist.I'm about to turn 40. My current girlfriend is 32 and that's realistically about as young as I'd consider going. The gap in maturity is becoming a problem, as I found out when I was chasing a 27 year old for a while.
Again, that's not a woman only thing. In general, people prefer to hook up with successful people.No. That's actually not what they are saying and there is very ample evidence out there to support what they are saying.

There is a huge difference in that. Men may want someone who just has a decent job and "some" ambition. Women want a man who makes a lot more money than they themself make. Men and women gauge potential partners vastly differently in that regard.Again, that's not a woman only thing. In general, people prefer to hook up with successful people.
Nah. Dentists are bad in bed.Please tell me you are being hypergamous and persuing a woman who is a dentist.
I know, but their use of "all" is false becausr not all women are like that. The majority are, yes.No. That's actually not what they are saying and there is very ample evidence out there to support what they are saying.

I'm not sure I agree. Now, if the woman has kids? Absolutely. She's looking for the biggest checkbook.There is a huge difference in that.

No it isn't. You'll never hear me say "women are money grubbing whores" and the argument isn't even remotely similar. Saying women gravitate to men who are more affluent than they are themselves is not even close to saying "All women want only your money and are whores also".I'm not sure I agree. Now, if the woman has kids? Absolutely. She's looking for the biggest checkbook.
Otherwise, this is just the "women are moneygrubbing whores" argument rehashed with different words.
I don't have an agenda. I'm not making any claims based on the research. I don't know exactly what it means. I just know that women judge a man based on whether or not he is more affluent than she is.Is it research that actually supports the exact thing you're saying, or Dumar-style "I'm going to read two words, fail to understand them, and claim a ridiculous position based off of them anyway"?
I don't see a big distinction between those two positions. Are you claiming that women desire men who are affluent, but don't do anything about it? If so, I don't see any difference between male and female in that regard. I'd love to have a wealthy girlfriend too, but it's pretty far down my list of criteria.
So no evidence to support your claim, like many social trending studies? (I don't disagree but you seem to be over emphasizing this aspect in how women think regarding men)I don't have an agenda. I'm not making any claims based on the research. I don't know exactly what it means. I just know that women judge a man based on whether or not he is more affluent than she is.
