Status, medical procedures and being sized up by chicks.

[davewe]

I have a different view. I obsessively collect watches (am wearing my Omega Seamaster today) and can't remember any woman ever commenting on one of them. They're into their own bling, not yours. And gold diggers know Rolexes not Omegas.

If a hot chick had good enough taste to recognize and ask me about one of my watches I'd be interested, not turned off, cause my watches are part of who I am.

Course, I'd still hide my watch box when she came over!

Get this.

I go in for a routine medical procedure yesterday morning. They have to put me out for it. Outpatient.

Nurse comes in and tells me to put on one of those gowns where your a$$ hangs out in the breeze. I do. Then I'm laying on the gurny and the little cutie 30's nurse is doing my IV. She looks at my watch and says "wow! is that an *****?" I told her it was. She says "those are expensive. what do you for a living?" I tell her. She asks where I live and I tell her. She says "those places are nice!" Then she asks me "is that your wife out there in the waiting room?" I said yep, it is. She says "your wife is pretty!"

Point here is that some chicks just dig money and status. That little nurse will probably marry some rich doc and he'll be dumb enough to marry her. Then she'll take half his stuff in the divorce and start fvcking her pool boy.

Maria walked into the room in full view of my junk hanging down just swaying in the breeze from the rear. You could hear little fart sounds as they sucked the air and other samples out, and I can only assume those sounds came from me!

Very funny. I can imagine that would have embarassed the hell out of me when I was a young guy also. Not exactly the ideal pickup situation, lol.

All other things being equal, women will always have the inclination to marry up, or be hypergamous as Rollo is fond of saying. It's no different than a man's inclination to go to the younger and more beautiful woman.

He does often point out that his wife chose him over good looking men making six figures though.

Beauty and status are merely attraction triggers. They have to be there, but when you're choosing a long term mate, you have to look deeper. But the triggers have to be there - once they're identified, then you go to the next round.

I dunno davewe. I think I'm overly suspect of females these days and readily admit it. I had become jaded as a result of my 1st marriage. This combined with the sorrow and heartache described in the SS threads by some of the posters who have really been messed up by women, makes me look and listen closely at what women do and say. We have all had some bad experiences I suppose.

Oh, one of my fav watches is a Luminox Navy Seals dive watch with those little tritium lights in it.

There's no reason to feel bad about it.

Guys need to realize that they can't invest so heavily into women. Sometimes that may take getting their heart broken a time or two.
It's okay to invest emotionally in your girl, but not to the point where you get destroyed if she leaves you.

Women don't even want you to be that emotionally invested in them. They want a guy that can remain strong, not one that they can destroy with a few words.

That's why I claim to the the inventor of "****y/funny".

I gotta start wearing my fake Rolex I guess.
