Money is part of it. It is the power and security of a man the woman wants because if he does not have this, she has no use for him. Without this he cannot fulfill her goal, which is to be better off than she was before.
Women want men to want them, but not to need them. Once a man needs a woman, she doesnt want him.
Family Guy cartoon had an episode where the husband states he only married her for her looks. She drops her beauty regimen and turns ugly. He cant get past it and blinds himself in order to fall in love with the person. He cant work and explains that she will now be the provider. She whines, i didnt get married to be the provider, i got married to be provided for. She finally saw that her reason was just as shallow as his yet she ripped him up and down the whole episode for his.
They unwittingly accurately described the basic male/female sexual strategies.
Good posting.
When I was Young and stupid I started out as a monogamous dater. Unsuccessful in that endeavor I switch to polygamous dating. The competition factor kicked in and really improved my lot. Women love to know their man is wanted by other women. Perverse lot women...
I think that means...
Women want men to want them, but not require anything of them. Once a man requires something from her, she doesnt want him.
And this may be the root of the problem. Created by feminism and selfishness.
