Let me restate that:
Women that read vogue, if you were to ask them what is their dream man, they would say wealthy or well off as one characteristic.

Also, if you were to ask women on the street which the prefer, a rich man or a poor man, just guess which they would answer.

Now, if I were to get married one day, on the off chance of that happening, it would be proper for a fiance to ask that question since you are to be one flesh and she would likly be handling the finances of the house. However, if a woman asked me that on say a first date, I would:
A. Be Offended
B. Not want to go on a second date
C. Try and cut that night as short as possible

But, to be honest, there are plenty of man whores out there that would do the same thing.

i follow one rule when it comes to fashion, it it aint black i aint waring it. im not goth but im on the same level as johnny cash.  dont like al these sub-class metalheads who run around wearing nu-metal band t-shirts. i perfer to keep my t-shhirts solid black. if youre gonna wear a band t-shirt, you had better have bought that shirt at a concert, unless its like iron maiden or motorhead or a troo black metal band.

You'd let the woman deal with the finances??

[redmenace]

Paying the bills, basically. Although my grandmother, may she RIP, was a very frugle woman and wisely invested her money for retirement.

Yeh, my stepmom is pretty sharp with the money, so she always did the majority of finances. She and my dad are pretty well off. *shrugs*

The smartest person in terms of finance I know is one of the girls of my group of friends- she got a 1st class honours in accountancy and works for PWC (http://www.pwcglobal.com/). I gave up trying to argue that men were better at finance long, long ago.

Sandwich I hope to whichever god you worship that was merely a joke

[icespeed]

what i've never really understood is why you'd _want_ a metrosexual partner in the first place. all guys have to do is to know enough about fashion to appreciate what you're wearing. when they start getting into the clothes thing themselves, it's like they're usurping your role in their lives.

basically it means you tell the girl that she's hot no matter what she's wearing.

[Scuddie]

I can guarantee it was no joke, Kaz.  Men are infinitely better at dealing with numbers, just as women are infinitely better at dealing with what the numbers are for.

Now with all that said...
ICE, GET BACK INTO THE KITCHEN AND SEW ME A SANDWICH!!

when they start getting into the clothes thing themselves, it's like they're usurping your role in their lives.

So in other words, women's roles are only to shop for clothing?


The point is that "real" men in the US are now supposed to be insensistive jerks, and what is more pathetic is that girls want these people.

I've known plenty of girls who could calculate circles around me, while I could write circles around them.

[Scuddie]

That is not true.  It would make too much sense.

When I was a student, one of my friends told me one time she had a dream where she was doing her math homework.

Well, this sucks.

So you're telling me if I decide to work with money, no matter how much raw talent I have, no matter how hard I work, I will always be inferior to women simply because I wasn't born as one?

Not to mention that because I'm not a woman, I'm not allowed to express my opinions about other people's looks?

[Sandwich]

I'm just reminded of that line in The Island.

That's as foolish as the statement to the opposite.

It actually didn't feel too sensible when I was bombing every chemistry test I took, even on the retakes.

No I was simply observing that trusting women with the finances is not automatically a bad thing you bell end. Jeez.
