Yeah, women, listen to Legbiter, and hurry up with lowering standards, I'm not getting any younger.   :mad:

Actually I don't have to try for anything.

I didn't mean you you.  You're gay.  You people get cock on tap.

You meant youyou? How vain.

Case and somewhat disturbing point.

That actually makes me a bit ill.  :x

To each their own, I guess, but damn, what a way to set back feminism 100 years or more.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

If Feminism is going to insist every woman be a responsible self actualized adult it is going to have many many setbacks. :P

Seems to me that's a huge step forward in feminism.  People used to have to pay dowries to get rid of daughters, but now...  :hmm:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Still property. :contract:

Just worth more.

Yeah because the rich dudes with money are totally respected as people by those young ladies :P

It is a mutual self-loathing society.

By the way the dowry, in England anyway, was supposed to sustain the woman when her husband died and his property all went to his heirs.  So I am not sure how that treats her like property or have the effect Habs implied  :P

Yeah and you would find just the opposite if we were talking about financial success.  Both seem crazy to me.  Why intentionally choose a less accomplished or less attractive mate (presuming you can be choosy)?  All things being equal of course.

It was a joke, calling Ide out on his "preferences". :D

I chose a less accomplished partner, and now he's worth 5x me. :) Sometimes, one sees potential over absolute value.

With men, I wonder about the ego thing. I've known guys who absolutely have to be THE bread winner. The wife can work, but she can't make more than him because then he's emasculated. WTF??  :blink:

Like Legbiter said: I don't care, but I know most women do, so I have to.

To add to what Valmy said, I'd prefer someone with a college degree, much like our modern employers, because while the college degree itself is nearly worthless, and the process a waste of time and money, not having a college degree these days is tantamount to admitting being retarded.

Oh, and what's with the "scare quotes"?  Everybody has a type, lady. :angry:
