LADIES WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS

That is a good video. I'm inclined to say that the woman did an excellent pointing out some of the flaws in the concept of beauty: it's merely subjective.
 
Well, we're all guilty of this whether you accept it or not. But it's the idealism that basically evolve our attitudes and often times alter our perceptions of reality. Reality, in this case, conforms to when the majority accepts this ideal, therefore the new reality comes to place.

I don't understand why some women try to act like this isn't true for most of them.

Not done listening, but money is not a factor in relationships for me, I've never dated someone based on their earnings. It's just not an attraction factor for me.

I'm aware that other women do judge men based on their earnings, but I don't think it's as common here as it is in the US and I would consider those women to be intensely shallow. One of my friends actually shocked me by telling me to 'marry him' when I was talking to her about a man I was with who had a nice car, the car was her reason why I should marry the guy and even though it was slightly jokey, I found it pretty offensive. At a later point in the relationship when things were going badly he bought me some expensive presents and again she was impressed, but when I said I'd rather he treated me well and bought me nothing, she agreed. I think a lot of women may think they want the guy with the money, but unless he has everything else they want they'll still be unhappy.

I dunno, I also think it's a really dependent way to live your life, I'd rather make my own money than be reliant on someone else. I'm not 12 and you're not my daddy, I don't expect you to hand out pocket money.
 
I think the main thing with her video regarding financial adequacy is that she wants to be with someone who is of the same income level or higher because she rather not be with someone with simply a dick and smile and using her money to blowoff stuff. I agree that love knows no boundaries, not even money, but we have to be practical and see if the person we're with has an independent and driven mind and of your level.

Mmm...while I see your point, it still doesn't factor in for me. It's definitely something I've seen a lot of in tv shows, etc. but mostly American ones so again, possibly more of an American attitude, I just can't relate to it myself. The only scenario where I can see it would be an issue for me would be if I was earning a lot more than my partner and they had a problem with not being the main earner.

Age might be a factor here too. I'm still in my late twenties, it's possible my priorities will change in future, I just don't see that happening.
 
That is true. She's speaking more on American-centric attitudes. The UK often is more lackadaisical when it comes to money.

You're more than free to call me that if you want lol

I think most women want security and traditionally men provide that especially when a woman wants to have kids.
It is changing now but it doesn't erase centuries of habits coded into your dna. Not saying that women who want a man with means are shallow gold diggers but we can't act like they don't exist for a reason
