Yep, for example, a person who only wants to date another who earns more but would never date someone who earns less.

A perfect example of hypocrisy.

Actually, it's not.

The definition of hypocrisy is a person who acts in contradiction of his or her stated beliefs or feeling. So, someone that says that they will only be with someone that earns more than they do....and then goes out and does exactly that, is not a hypocrite.

Under your definition of hypocrisy, if someone wants to date someone more attractive, intelligent, etc than themselves it makes them a hypocrite...and that makes the entire world a hypocrite...including you.

So a person who will only date another that is better than them and expect that other person to comply while they would never comply the other way around is not a hypocrite?

Dumbass!

Question. How do you know they wouldn't comply? And comply to what?

Shameless hypocrite.

And a chauvinist who thinks her worth of being a woman is more than the worth of a man.

Shameless, maybe. Hypocrite, no. Chauvinist, no. She never said that an unemployed man is worth less than an unemployed woman, nor that the unemployed in general have less personal worth than those who are currently employed.

If a broke, unemployed woman is sexually desirable to you, then that's your business. You have your own personal standards for attractiveness, and so does everyone else.

quote:

On one hand, women are independent and don't need men. On the other, they expect a man who earns more lol.

More unsubstantiated stuff you're making up, linking two separate sets of circumstances together. There are some women who may feel they are independent and don't need a man, just as there are some men who seek to stay unencumbered and say they don't need a woman. You have said you don't need a woman your very self, and yet your neediness to have a woman accept you as a sex partner is irrefutably obvious.

I find it hilarious that you claim the moral high ground in this matter.

quote:

When a man feels entitled to sex with the average woman or any woman,

Your idea of dating revolves around hooking up, and not on finding a mate. You're preoccupied with felling trees for short-term gain rather than preserving the forest for long-term posterity.

Others who do not share your outlook on life with such tunnel vision, have every right to adhere to their own personal beliefs and to pursue whomever they choose with whom to merge their individual destinies.

The fact that it is not you, is your personal problem to deal with on your own, not theirs, not ours, not society's burden to assume on your behalf, and has nothing to do with social [in]justice.

You'd be surprised how many other women had the same problem, as I said, I'm well rid of them and much happier now with a guy who doesn't care or doesn't have such a fragile ego, for a while we discussed if he might give up his rather high income job to do something he might enjoy more, but then decided (I said I'd be happy whatever as he'd do the same for me) to stick with it and just have a bit of a nest egg for the future.


It's a balancing act. There are very few enjoyable jobs around and even fewer of those that pay well at the same time. That's where we make sacrifices, either for ourselves only or (hopefully) for the sake of our loved ones as well.

quote:

ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze]
I disagree with people being paid according to the value they bring, as I think nurses and carers (at least in Europe) do a tremendously valuable job and are underpaid. I think Europe is in this respect also a bit more "old fashioned" and guys tend to have a problem with the woman seemingly being more successful, because there seems to be peer pressure and ribbing from their friends.


The problem is that market forces do not always go hand in hand with what is fair. For example, nurses get paid well in the United States, but at the same time, the health care system there is prohibitively expensive to a large contingent of society. Emergency cases are dealt with, even if a patient cannot pay, but preemptive medial care is sorely lacking because ordinary citizens cannot afford a simple blood test.

My golly you are blind.

She is a fucking hypocrite when she expects men to date down on someone who earns less while she would never date down on someone who earns less herself.

You really need to look up the meaning of hypocrisy you silly little girl.

She is a chauvinist when she thinks her worth as a woman with her socioeconomic status is more worthy than a man with the same socioeconomic standing. This is why she only wants to date a man with a HIGHER socioeconomic standing. The men with the SAME socioeconomic standing aren't good enough for her.

You are totally missing the point. I am only talking about women who think they are independent and don't need men. I'm not talking about any other woman. If a woman thinks she is a strong modern liberated independent woman who doesn't need men, what exact reason why she feels that a man is only good enough for her if he earns more than her?

Again as you totally miss or dodge the point, I am talking about sense of entitlement, not what style of dating is happening.

You did not say those women or some women, you silly little boy. You made broad assumptions that when women only want to date men who earn more than they do, that they proclaim how independent they are in not needing a man, and that being independent is defined in monetary terms when it isn't always about financial independence. A woman can be self-sufficient and desire a mate who is also self-sufficient, and a man can easily expect the same in his partner or want to raise his own socioeconomic status. What of it, and why do you have an axe to grind with this?

quote:

ORIGINAL: respectmen

Lucy, it obviously is when women only want to date a man who earns more.

On one hand, women are independent and don't need men. On the other, they expect a man who earns more lol. I wonder why that is Lucy? If women are independent and don't need men after all, I can't see any logical explanation in the world on why she needs a man who has a better lifestyle than her own.

Then you put words in TDC's mouth which she did not say.

You probably want to get with women who are more attractive than you are.

I'm sure that if you ever did find a "keeper," you would not want to devolve into living a lifestyle which is less than what you are accustomed to under ordinary circumstances. You might on an exceptional basis, but I doubt you would intentionally seek this out--nor would you choose to stay with a woman you and your peers would look down upon for whatever reason(s).

quote:

No, you are the one who is missing the point and dodging the issue. What about your own (false) sense of entitlement that you should get sex on demand regardless of a woman's preferences (looks, intelligence, likability, trustworthiness, ensuring financial stability & security, a potential life partner to build a better life with, etc.), or that your skewed value system is based on a negative bias toward the socioeconomic standards of others.

As for dating styles, you don't have one because "dating" for you is a euphemism for getting laid because evidently your concept of mate selection is limited to your immediate sexual gratification.

You don't have the foggiest idea how to "date" a woman, so that is why you are stumped and stuck in a rut, while you keep digging a deeper and deeper hole for yourself as you feebly attempt to weigh in on a subject that is well beyond your comprehension.

You do realise that men date down. They just do! They date down, not like it's a bad thing, but because they want to date a woman that his superior to her in everything that he thinks he should be superior in. Dating down is not a negative to a man. He wants to be better than her!

He will date up for the things he doesn't want to involve his manly self into, but for all the things he feels he should be better at, his gonna date down on those skills. And feel happy about it!

Men and Women are different. Most men will feel quite useless if they marry a woman who beats his ass in EVERYTHING. And seriously, I highly doubt as a woman, you can make a man fall inlove with you by always proving that you are superior to him and better than him in EVERYTHING, and keep kicking his ass! And to show him, how crap he is at everything compared to you. Which man is gonna fall inlove with her? Will you?

Whereas women are very comfortable not being as good as their man in everything. Infact that is what is attractive if the man is just better at things.

Here's the rub. I believe that women who only want to date a man who earns more is feeling DEPENDENT on a man for a better life, otherwise there is no logical reason why else she would only want that.

Can you see that all who have replied to me in here seem to have a problem giving an logical and clear explanation on why a woman only wants to date a man who earns more? If women are finding it difficult to answer, it's telling that they have an hidden agenda which they don't want exposed. On the other hand, there are honest ones out there who will admit needing a man.

So that said, there are women out there who seek men for security. So now you see that I know that all women aren't independent. There are women out there who need, not only want a man. So now you see that I know not all women are unneedful for a man.

I shouldn't have had to write this in crayon for you. I believe many women, not all in regards of the honest ones and the ones with a hidden agenda, will express a mindset of being independent and not needing men. It's the modern trend for women to claim that they are this way, if they mean it or not.

quote:

Nope. I find the more attractive they are, the more likely their personality will be ugly and narcissistic. If an above average woman approached me, I would be skeptical about it. Like...waiting for the moment for her to ask if I want to pay her for sex or something.

I am open for relationships but I don't push for one. I would rather something uncomplicated and not needy. I mainly seek a long term friendship. Not a one night stand or a wham bam thank you madam.

I couldn't care less what my friends or family think about the woman I am with. All that matters is what I think of her. It's not my friends and family having a relationship with her.

Yes, how fucking dare a man seek sexual gratification and have a sexuality in general. He's fucking evil! But its all innocent when women do of course.

In my 35 years on this planet listening and seeing women incessantly whine about what they want and that they don't want to be treated as an object over and over and over again, I think I have a very clear idea.
