For a man it makes more sense to get young fertile eggs, for a woman it makes sense to get a powerful man with money, resources, status and so on.
I don't think Bill's jokes or laugh would work as well on women if he worked at a petrol station.
Dude, no. If any of my real life friends heard something like that as an explanation of something related to me, they'd laugh. I'm the most simple person when it comes to money and resources. I truly don't give a fuck what people have. [snipped examples, because TMI]
But what's funny is that you think that what attracts us is his money and "power". Lmao suuuuure because the tv and internet don't have so many other rich younger and better looking dudes to stalk if we felt attracted to those things. It doesn't even make sense.
Also... I'm thinking of the top 7 people who I find attractive (non famous) at this time and I know for sure that 5 of them are broke. Lol hadn't thought of that, but since it came up, why not? I'd buy their beer, no problem. Efff. I do have a weakness for intelligence paired with a smooth, cool, and funny personality. Dude can live in a basement, but know how to build a computer, flirt, and just be cool as fuck, and boom. I once went crazy over a woman I met (whom I still regret losing) and I would have been the sole bread winner if I had kept her close, no problem. If that's what she wanted. Faaaaak. She was special. My depression issues got in the way, though. (Whispers to her: hey, sorry for everything)
So anyway, nah. Your theory, at least in my case, doesn't pass. I know it's a long response but dammit! I've heard this one so many fucking times while sitting at my favorite bar, conversations between dudes, and I sit there trying as hard as I can to not rant and roll my eyes at these strangers. At least now I can do it over the internet. Bahahah
