Easy answer. From an early age the one overriding question on men's mind is how to score with women. For many of us, becoming rich and/or powerful is one of those ways to get women. Many men don't go into politics for any goal to accomplish other than to become powerful and be able to pick up chicks. So the answer to the question why would a man thow away his career trying to get women, is a puzzled, "Duh, that's what the career if for in the first place."

31 posts before the correct answer. Men educate and learn a skill to get money. Why do they want money? So they can obtain power. Why do they want power? To get chicks.

Women, natural socialists eschew risk taking and could never understand men risking everything for sex....Viva la difference!

And before women readers get all outraged and look down their noses at us men, I'll even answer the next question:

Because it works!!! Yes, many of you fall for it!! If you didn't, we wouldn't do it, and would move on to something else that worked.

The never mentioned fact is that if women didn't exist, there would be no wars.
