- And your insistence that they are NOT says much about your complete
- and total schism from reality. Just exactly what do you deduce about
- my social life from this quote?
-
- Exhibit One: "It's just as easy to fall in love
- with a rich man as a poor one."
-
- What, then, is the basis for this old saying?
-
- While it may be true that once some sort of bonding has taken place a
- woman might tolerate a lack of material wealth, it is certainly not true
- in initial encounters.
-
- Now, Kate, let me just say most men and women are alike in that we seek
- some imaginary combination of characteristics that we believe an *ideal*
- mate to possess.
-
- I am simply saying that women were socialized throughout our history to
- seek men who would be good providers. While this situation may be changing,
- there is still plenty of residue of this attitude left over in women's
- attitudes today.
-
- In general, I find women to be more materialistic. Are you saying this
- is not true?
