I ussually agree with your views mystery, but you don't seem to really be flexing that thinking muscle on this one. You just seem to stick with what you've come to know thru your upbringing. Are American women more materialistic? Maybe they are just a bit more direct about it. But some of these stuff are deeply inside women's genes. And its true worldwide. The human nature is one and the same everywhere, but with it being painted differently by different cultures.Originally posted by MysteryWoman
Well it must be an American thing then, women being more likely to commite suicide after a divorce than men. I haven't heard of this happening much in England. Not an insult, but I don't think English women are as materialistic as American women (some are), but I don't think anyone here would be that forward enough to ask how much a guy earns on the first date or before they decide to go out with them.
I think Leil Lowndes must have been covering marriage as well, as it is usually women who initiate divorce.
Why do you call yourself Pook? What does it signify
Since you love to refer to Leil Lowndes, read the part where she speaks about why women are attracted to materialistic advantages. She tries to convince guys to something along the lines of:
"Guys, its not their fault, its not that they conciosly seek out rich men (some do and they are golddiggers), its in their genes. See when millenias ago cave women had to seek men they had to get a protector, a powerfull masculine man to defend them, so that translates to power & wealth today"
This is how I remember the part, the actual quote could be quite different in the wording, but this is basically the essence of it.
So unless women in England are biologically different from those in America they hardly are different in this aspect either. Its just that their enviroment trained them differenly in the way the display it.
