Women are inherently programmed to be gold-diggers

BraziliaNZ

Scientists have found that the pleasure women get from making love is directly linked to the size of their partner’s bank balance.

They found that the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms.

“Women’s orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner,” said Dr Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research.

He believes the phenomenon is an “evolutionary adaptation” that is hard-wired into women, driving them to select men on the basis of their perceived quality.

The study is certain to prove controversial, suggesting that women are inherently programmed to be gold-diggers.

However, it fits into a wider body of research known as evolutionary psychology which suggests that both men and women are genetically predisposed to ruthlessly exploit each other to achieve the best chances of survival for their genes.

The female orgasm is the focus of much research because it appears to have no reproductive purpose. Women can become pregnant whatever their pleasure levels.

Pollet, and Professor Daniel Nettle, his co-author, believed, however, that the female orgasm is an evolutionary adaptation that drives women to choose and retain high-quality partners.

He and Nettle tested that idea using data gathered in one of the world’s biggest lifestyle studies. The Chinese Health and Family Life Survey targeted 5,000 people across China for in-depth interviews about their personal lives, including questions about their sex lives, income and other factors. Among these were 1,534 women with male partners whose data was the basis for the study.

They found that 121 of these women always had orgasms during sex, while 408 more had them “often”. Another 762 “sometimes” orgasmed while 243 had them rarely or never. Such figures are similar to those for western countries.

There were of course, several factors involved in such differences but, said Pollet, money was one of the main ones.

He said: “Increasing partner income had a highly positive effect on women’s self-reported frequency of orgasm. More desirable mates cause women to experience more orgasms.”

This is not an effect limited to Chinese women. Previous research in Germany and America has looked at attributes such as body symmetry and attractiveness, finding that these are also linked with orgasm frequency. Money, however, seems even more important.

David Buss, professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin, who raised this question in his book The Evolution of Desire believes female orgasms have several possible purposes.

“They could promote emotional bonding with a high-quality male or they could serve as a signal that women are highly sexually satisfied, and hence unlikely to seek sex with other men,” he said. “What those orgasms are saying is ‘I'm extremely loyal, so you should invest in me and my children’."

Read it this way - poor men's wives are stressed therefore can't orgasm.

Hardly a news material then though

I can see it now , George Cooney pulls another bird and she's only after his wallet . A good time Orgasim will be last thing she's intrested in

(reply to missing post)
that wimmins are pre-programmed by evolution to go for the rich ****ers in the hope that the kiddies they push out will be better looked after.

everyone is just a selfish c*nt subconsciously trying to do what is best for their (future) kids because that's what evolution is making them do. even if someone comes across as being genuinely 'nice', really they are after something. evolution, game theory all proves this ****. conciousness itself is just an illusion that gives you the will to survive, etc.

Fact she's only after his wallet. George Cooney from Ballylanders weighs bout 20st but he does have 200acres with some prime road frontage.

Jesus, is that what scientists are doing these days?? Have they given up trying to find a cure for cancer already???!!!???

That is seriously a load of crap, and only refers to women who have no respect for themselves, no sense of pride, no shame, no independence.

And as for the type of man who will happily settle with a woman he knows is only after his money?? Well, don't pretend to be surprised when you find out he's shagging his secretary!!

so if you were a famous footballer or something you wouldn't date the really hot chicks that want to go out with you? Or would you do an Eddie Murphy style trip to the states, where no one will know you, to pick up a chick interested in you for you being such a sweetheart?

I never said that it doesn't happen, all I'm saying that there is a certain type of woman who does that, and that is by no means all women!

Sure some of those footballers/actors are as ugly as sin, and they have fantastic looking women on their arms, and thats fair enough. But to say that if one of them approached me that I would hop into bed with them in exchange for a designer handbag is wrong, because I , my dear, can afford my own designer handbag. And if I can't, Ill save for it.

According to the report they can be "gold digging hos" and not have to fake it.

The bank balance has an influence in most cases - if you think of any women you know and ask if they would be going out with their bf's / husbands if they were unemployed and had no prospects, they probably would never have got together with them in the first place.
I don't think it's conceited or that woman are conciously looking for money, but it seems very clear that women are more attracted to a man with money than they would be if that man was broke.

That's complete and utter bollix.

I'm a fat poor bastard and I've made women cum.

This illustrates that most women are inherently w****s

I think you missed the point. The article isn't saying that women do it consciously.
Nor does it say anything about the men knowing or even thinking the women are with them for their money.

I think it's easier...there are good and brave people who follow their hearts and ideas and there are w****s, both male and female, that would do a lot or everything for convenience (whatever they think their convenience is).

I love how these kinds of studies are often posted with the presupposition that they're authoritive on the matter. It sounds like a lot of variables had to be ignored to come to the conclusion that Women are inherently programmed to be gold-diggers.

Original Article wrote:

There were of course, several factors involved in such differences but, said Pollet, money was one of the main ones.

So they didn't ignore anything. The money thing just emerged as a strong trend.
