You can be the smartest, richest, best-looking or most athletic person ever. Which?

LOL, yes they do. Most women would quite happily have sex with a rich man solely because he's rich. My own mother said she regrets not marrying for money. Not a diss against women but the fact is most women would, just like most men would push their grannies down a flight of stairs to sleep with a hot blonde moron solely because of her looks.

You're giving people far too much credit.

You've a pretty poor opinion of 'most women' if you think most of them are for sale. Your mother doesn't represent all women.

And yes, it is a diss against women.

Best at sports.

The top sports people earn millions for their endeavours and there's something to be said for earning money for heroic exploits rather than just being given it.

Also, if you're a high profile sports person it's likely that you're going to be beating the women off regardless of what you look like.

You're spending too much time in Thailand buddy, the women should be beating you off.

If my opinion is correct, it's their behaviour that's poor rather than my outlook. "For sale" is hyperbolic and emotionally charged language that derails the discussion, as if I said most women are prostitutes. There'a a huge distinction between sleeping with a rich man because he's rich and sleeping with someone as part of a cash transaction, so you're either misunderstanding me or willfully misinterpreting what I said. You're right about one thing, my mum doesn't represent all women - she's much better than most women (although I never said she did represent all women, you inferred that.)

You might feel uncomfortable acknowledging it but as I made no value statement on whether it's moral or immoral, tacky or not, it's not a diss. I see nothing wrong with it, but it's an objective reality for which there's a veritable mountain of evidence. You're not all women - just because you're opposed to women behaving like that, doesn't mean it's a)negative or b)not pervasive among other women. It's not even gender specific anymore, apparently. Stop being such a prude! If people are willing to work forty hour work weeks doing soul-crushing and monotonous labour for a pittance of a salary, it's hardly a leap of the imagination that they'd have sex with someone who can offer the trappings of wealth.

Best at sports. Messi has all the acclaim in the world, all the money in the world (paying no tax helps I guess) and his wife is an absolute lasher. He's also playing/doing something he adores. And Messi is a very average looking half midget who didn't give a rats arse about school.

Also I have to laugh at Beyonce being mentioned in terms of best looking woman. I've toenails better looking than her.

Your Ma could have married for money and regretted it, like my great-auntie.

I think the whole "money = success with the ladies" is a bit of a fallacy. I have a good mate who's an entrepreneur and despite his business growing nicely he doesn't draw much of a wage for himself. He's not what most would call a looker tbh but he's charismatic as hell and the funniest guy to hang out with ever. He does very well with girls and always has, but in a few years when he's made some cash people are going to be saying thats the only reason he has a hot girlfriend.

Of course. Sure most women are that shallow that all they want is a man with cash. Ugly men with money get *all* the women.

This usually provides a comfortable explanation for *some* men who have no success romantically and never stop to consider that it might be because of their attitudes to women or other off-putting traits, instead of their slim wallets.

Ceteris paribus, more money equates to more and better looking women. To deny that is just silly and idealistic.

There is very little correlation between intelligence & level of wealth. if that were the case all scientists would be millionares, but the vast majority most likely earn a relatively low wage doing research, or earn a standard wage in some IT dept somewhere.

I also think being intelligent just makes you more perceptive to all the stuff you dont know and cant control, and how if people just stopped being dicks, it would be a much better place overall.

Il be much happier being a rich moron who doesnt think further than the next cool thing i want to buy with my infinite wealth. Sure id be a moron, and an asshole, but at least id be oblivious to it, and happy! And with an empty mind id probably go from waking to sleep in half a second, rather than spending hours mulling over some stupid problem i need to solve for work.

I'd have to go with best at sports because then I'd be doing something I'm passionate about and I'd have the wealth too.

Sports for me as you would also be rich and the best looking wouldn't matter because you would pull all the birds anyway.

Sports gives you 3 out of 4:):)
