Do you know why I said that?
Because what use exactly is a study that says women are more interested in money, and how accurate could that "study" possibly be?
Oh boy, I now believe that women are more interested in money and men are more interested in looks because a study tells me. My thinking has been swayed, regardless of what I've experienced in all my interactions with real people in real life.
That's useful to my life.
Are you beginning to understand this? By "individual" level I mean what I see in the real world, with actual people, not a small sampleagain, how reliable would this little study's extrapolations really be considered?
My gosh, I couldn't care less if I tried. Thanks for trying to prove something to me, though. Didn't completely waste your energy at all.

Is not even about women being interested in money itself but they are interested in a provider. A man that can provide.
The same way men want to pick a voluptuous beauiful woman because of offspring. This is wired in us from cavemen times.. both men and women have superficial preferences. Both genders tend to look for similar stuff.
Im sure some women have no problem dating a homelesd guy (maybe you are like that)
But MOST women wouldnt date a jobless guy living at home with their parents at 40.
Just like most women wont date shorter men than them. Im sure you might have no problem with dating a short broke guy but most women wouldnt do that

One study isn't the same as "scientifically proven." And you also can't use "women in general" as proof that every woman always does something just because a majority of those surveyed do.

Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that I'll be over here looking through your stuff.

it means that it is not just some crazy people online talking about something or making stuff up.
Everyone Knows guys tend to care more about looks and women tend to care more about wealth. the point of the link is that even REAL scientists went out of their way to do a study about this and even confirmed it from their one study.
You might say that one study is too small but that is something MOST people already knew. the only difference is that it is now backed up by actual data.
men are shallow in beauty and women are shallow in money. anyone alive could have tell you that.
But now we at least have scientists that looked at it, it is not just someone's opinion

It's a media gender myth like so many other media gender myths that people like you believe and parrot and say "everybody knows that" and cite ridiculous studies to "prove".

Is the same as guys going crazy for women'looks or body.
Does every single man pick a hot girl? No. Not evety man.
Do most men value beauty a lot? Yes. Men tent to follow with their eyes. Are all men superficial? No. But there is a precedent.
Is just like women dont go for short men how a lot of women wont date someone shorter than them
Doesnt matter how angry you get. People will have dating preferences

Painbow, I think she's just asking about Monica specifically and not other women. Would Monica have gone for Pete without the millions.? Probably not. Because she wasn't attracted to him to begin with and without his money, he would not have been able to buy her a restaurant, thus she would never have fallen for him. He used his money to worm his way into her life. And it worked! For a while.. Lol

Monica really wanted a man and a family, so I think she would have considered any proposal thrown her way.

Yeah there's no indication she particularly cared about his money but Pete was into her and she was into the idea of marriage/kids so I'm sure she would have toyed with the idea either way.

Her mother had her self esteem so low that she would have said yes to any proposal I think. The others were the ones who made a big deal out of his money, not Monica. And, she hadn't been attracted to him until he kissed her, so her initial attraction had nothing to do with his money

honestly i can't blame monica for this, she basically fell in love with the guy after that one kiss set off a spark and he pretty much had everything after that
she clearly wasn't in it for the money, having resisted so long, but it obviously didn't hurt. when you fall in love with someone who's already super-successful, loves you back and treats you well, topped with the fact that you're obsessed with marriage and proving everyone (well, her mom at least) wrong you're not gonna say no to a guy like Pete

Unpopular opinion but I actually liked them as a couple. I HATED the way they wrote him out. They should've kept him on longer or maybe found a better way for him to exit the show.
