Yes, I agree. Kind of reminds one of... Michael Douglas, Hugh Hefner, Larry King, Donald Trump..... that expectation of entitlement.

Are those really the sorts of men women go for? If I were a female, I certainly wouldn't find them attractive. And every one of them seems to have married someone (some multiple times) who was either dumb as a stump, only wanted them for their money, or both. (Well, Ivana's kinda cool...)

Yeah, kind of what a lot of women say about the demands from men.

Hey, I never denied that it works both ways. But the fact is women control the market. The men are the ones that have to do the courting and face constant rejection. All the woman has to do is (figuratively or otherwise) walk into a bar and sit down, and at least she'll get attention, even if she never meets the right guy there.

Except now men are adding that they want her to ditch the diploma. So hard to please....

I certainly don't.

Well, there's someone for everyone. The female versions of the men I listed would include Joan Collins, Liza Minelli, Liz Taylor, Cher, and so on.... All the woman has to do is (figuratively or otherwise) walk into a bar and sit down, and at least she'll get attention, even if she never meets the right guy there.

? Isn't this about meeting the right person which is not likely going to happen in a bar?

I'm agreeing with you... financially successful people, be they men or women, can have tough standards. Maybe both need to be a lot less restrictive about what they are looking for or be content with being single (which is a place where I think many are and that's fine, too).

But here the men have an advantage: they get immediate feedback on how their reality matches up with their expectations. When five women in a row respond to you like they've just discovered a new species of fungus, it's a clue to hit the gym and improve your wardrobe and grooming habits. Guys may like looking at Victorias Secret models, but most know better than to walk up and try asking one out. You tailor your approaches to women who you think will be receptive to being asked out, and after a while you get a good feel for who's in that category.
