[Damon Beck]

I’ve dated many types of women and have found them to be as diverse as any snowflake, but the other older I get, the more disgusted I am by the growing materialism I’m finding in the women I interact with. Why is this? Why the focus on a man’s wallet over his heart and character? And not to be conceited, but even my good looks aren’t getting me over as much as they use to without the cash.

I don’t think women are too materialistic because they are more independent and believe in sharing the load. The women you described were probably too caught up in themselves, too high-maintenance, spoiled as children, and think the world should kiss their asses. I don’t feel it’s right to accuse a woman of being a golddigger just because she doesn’t want a man who won’t get off his butt and pull his weight of the house income. Females today are fed up with ‘little boys’ who constantly mooch by being a couch potato or are chronically settling for dead-end jobs, having women buy them clothes, buying them cars, staying rent-free, eating up the food – yet get pissed off when you demand better and require something of them. Damon, you probably dated too many stuck-up, prissy behind floosies. After awhile you get tired of having to constantly support a grown ass person because they won’t demand more of themselves. Yes, there are some women who have to get their hair done twice a week, nails done weekly and have to have wear nothing but Baby Phat and Enyce because shopping at the mall is like the Salvation Army for mall brats. Women want partnership and someone who would be a great provider, just like they provide for themselves.

If by your looks ‘getting you over’, you’re referring to sex, you obviously see women as sex objects, so you shouldn’t be surprised that they view you as a wallet object. Both views are equally shallow, so if the ladies only pay attention when you’ve got your billfold out, you’re getting what you’re ‘paying’ for.

Since you have been unsuccessful although dating diversely, perhaps you should look inward and re-define what you are attracted to in a woman. Perhaps, you are letting the ‘good ones’ get away because you are choosing style over substance. The good ones are not always the prettiest or sexiest or even slimmest. I am not saying to lower your standards but to broaden the scope of your search.

Damon, imagine that you were being judged on nothing BUT your good looks. Your intellect, your accomplishments, your creativity meant nothing. The dating world isn’t a cake walk for women either. Unfortunately, men have created the monster chicks you speak of by teaching young, beautiful and too often vapid women that they can get away with murder as long as they’re cute and sexually available. Perhaps if you were willing to date a woman with a degree and a job you’d have more luck finding someone who values you for you.

Probably because the older you get, the older they get. The older they get, the less concerned they are about dating cute guys, and the more concerned they become about marriage material and finding a good provider.

It is theorized that the reason behind a woman’s materialism is much the same as that of other creatures. The woman’s job is to have young and take care of them. Female animals always choose the strongest male. This helps ensure that their babies are strong and healthy, that the male will be able to protect them all, and also that the male is able to provide for them. Men are the ‘hunters’. So one major part of their job is to bring the female stuff. Hence the ‘materialism’. You may want to note that not all women are materialistic, and if the woman you’re with wants the material things more then the rest of you, she’s obviously not right for you.

Unfortunatly this seems to be the case of a few bad apples spoiling the bunch. I would say that some women are probably too materialistic and concerned with money. But the added thought is that as you get older, the more your mind is concerned with money in general. I know that every day I start thinking about the bills and how they’ll get paid. Some women are likely just worried about their finances, esp. when a long term committment enters the equation. However, women who expect excessive presents are just expecting too much.

Hi folks. Guys… a little advice. You’re wasting your time whining about anything that you think women are ‘doing wrong’. Don’t you know that the Gender War in the West is over… and women won? The currently politically correct position is ‘Men bad, Women good.’ Get this into your head before you even bother to date, argue with, work with, correspond with.. .anything with… a woman. If you’re a man, you’re immediately WRONG – by definition! This leaves you with three options. Option 1: The Bast**d. In this one, you treat women like filth, use them, abuse them, lose them… on the understanding that you think women all hate you, envy you, and deep down want to emasculate you. This option only works if you are young, rich and good looking. Option 2: The Wimp. In this one, you allow yourself to be used, abused, dumped, etc… on the understanding that you are a pathetic excuse for a lifeform and only really useful as a sperm provider and financial assistant until she gets something better. This option best suits those with extremely low self-esteem, micro-penises and whose work involves fixing up someone elses mistakes. Option 3: The Crusader. In this one, you don’t allow any politically-correct bullsh** to tell you what to think. You will, largely alone, fight to bring everyone back to commonsense and reason. Occasionally you will meet a woman, often much older or younger than you, who is equally jaded by the cruelty, vulgarity and stupidity of the Politically Correct Fashionistas. The option will succeed once the Baby Boomers and their idiotic rebellions against EVERYTHING Mom and Dad did, said, thought or felt are gone. Then the world can get back to concentrating on those nice ‘classic’ things that never go out of date and are worth keeping. Like ‘respect’, ‘honor’, ‘courtesy’, ‘kindness’, ‘tolerance’, ‘balance’, and (ladies take note)even good old-style ‘chivalry’.
