What kind of women are sluts?

Not knowing anything about my relationship, you missed the part where he is a long-time friend. Not to brag, but most people from my alma mater and the other down-the-road school are in high status fields. It was inevitable if it was going to happen. Again, like in my case, what he does is not who he is. That is all that matters. There are people he works with that are tools that I would not give the time of day to. I would still marry him if he were an auto mechanic, electrician, sales clerk, ect. The only difference is I would be the clear-cut alpha.

I don't care who the breadwinner is. We're both financially stable so if something did happen, we'd be just as well without the other's income. Less chance of someone leaving? Trust issues much? I wouldn't get that far with someone with I had an inkling they would leave and screw me over in the process.

It depends. The Mr. makes more money, but I make most of the decisions. We're alpha and betas in different regards, which is why our partnership works.

I'll call you something else...

 

I seriously doubt that, however kudos for talking a good game and saying the politically correct thing.

 

so no hug and no beer? more beer for me!

 

That's cute. You should know me better, and I think you do. You're just being that thing I'd call you right now because you're in one of your moods.

 

I hear that.

 

It's generally not a good thing when he agrees with you.

 

I think we can find common ground on this particular issue.

 

Both being ignorant? Sizeable property, and not too hard to find.

 

Right....We're both just big dummies. I'm sure a nice McDonalds cashier or a nice MD would be a tough decision for you.

 

I didn't call you two dumb, those are your own words. All things being equal (which is a stupid hypothetical since that does not exist), I would go for the MD because that means they were focused, hard-working, and intelligent at an earlier age (assuming we are talking about two men my current age). It doesn't mean status, it translates to someone that I can relate to. Those qualities are also not confined to what people call "high status jobs." I am marrying because there is someone stupid enough to be crazy about me, and that person also happens to be a long-time friend I love and trust.

Good for you UOG, I wish you guys the very best.

 

That's hilarious!

 

Whose life is that? No one I know.

Danke.

How so? Do electricians, mechanics, construction workers, ect never get married? Either some of you have been burned and take it out on all women, or you are just that stupid. I like to bet the latter because I am an egotistical (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) (Herk's words), but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Even though you were a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing GiB.

 

Looks like it was a direct hit!

Electricians, construction workers and so on do get married. But not to women who perceive themselves as higher status or having higher status occupations.

But you already know that...

 

No joy, but I'm likely wasting my time discussing this with people dead set on calling women gold diggers. My status only has to do with me and my ego. If I chose a partner based on how I view myself, I would be the only one worthy enough to marry me. I'm dancing around explaining my reasoning for marrying this guy because it has to do with his and my friendship. First of all, it would be difficult to explain to people because none of you know either of us. Secondly, it is terribly uninteresting. It has absolutely nothing to do with his or my status.

Also, if anything, I'm selling myself short marrying an MD. He doesn't have a toolbelt. So there.

 

Really? I could have swore you were going to pick the cashier.

Color me 'ignorant', but from what I've read of your posts you strike me and many others as probably the most narcissistic poster on the forum. Forgive me for assuming that a perceived narcissist wouldn't find a plumber or cashier worthy of their company. Again, forgive us for our ignorance.

 

For an answer to that question, I'd respectfully have to refer you to Rush Limbaugh. He seems to have a handle on those types of things - at least when he doesn't have a handle on his own thing.

 

I admit to some bad qualities (stubborn, cold, cocky) and that some of that can be amplified on an anonymous forum, but you do not know a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing about me if you think I am a narcissist. I always put everyone else first. Not worthy of my company? Hilarious. You are forgiven...because I appreciate your company.

Or anyone associated with Washington.

 

Were you self educated too?

 

Correction "he thinks he has a handle on those types of things".

Someone that has been married 4 times could be considered a slut (or whatever the male equivalent of that, is).

 

Ha,ha, that is funny. Obviously you care that is was questioned.

Trying to sound philosophical while making nonsensical statements and on top of that misspell words and use improper grammar - not smart.

 

Is everyone picking on Gov?
I joke around, but basically I like her...hope this doesn't get too outta hand.

 

There is no necessary dissonance between the two attitudes. That's why it is said that to serve is to rule.
