It kinds of help having money.

I prefer a man brushes his teeth and can hunt. A MANLY man. I have my own money and bought my own house. I resent the fact that men think I need or want them for money.
Whenever someone tells me I should be married, my reply is why? I already own a house. I love feeding their idiocy.
Congrats to you too! It only gets better.... ;>)
Be true to yourself. Being a man is not negotiable, ever. If a woman cannot accept your for who you are, then you are in for a rocky road.
Do not supplicate. Kissing butt is not sexy or romantic.
Be sexy and romantic. It’s okay. You’re allowed. Forget what the media says.
Do not watch chick flicks, and do not think that’s what women really want.
LISTEN to women, especially the ones you are attracted to. They’ll tell you everything you need to know.
DO sweep her off her feet. They love that. Make sure you can wow her with one kiss. Do have good timing.
Do not be her friend. She does not want to date her friends. You are her date, you are not looking for a friend, are you?
Be honest. Don’t play games. If you like her, tell her. If you can’t, leave her alone. Don’t pretend to be her friend, they think it’s lying. If you want her, ask her out, be open that you’re interested.
Flirt. A lot.
If she asks for money or help right away, lose her number.
If you meet her friends, and only one knows about you after one or a couple dates, it’s serious. If all of her friends know, she’s a gossip. Your dating WILL be grist for the mill. Decide if you can live with that.
Make her laugh, a lot.
Wear the big boy pants. If she asks “Where are we going?”, have a plan. That’s sexy to them. Plan out the whole date. Show that you have taste, you’re organized, and you have no problem being in charge.
YOU decide when things go to the next level.
If she sleeps with you on the first date, she’s a booty call, and she does not have any respect or real interest in you, other than convenience. If she makes you wait, she really likes you.
You come first. If she pushes you away for her friends, it’s over. (Family is okay). Same for her - she comes first.
How she treats your mother is how she’ll treat you.
A woman who truly loves you will marry you flat broke, and help you get wealthy. A woman who marries for money, will care right away. All she wants is bragging rights.
A woman is not a man. Do not expect them to act or think like you. Accept them.
You are a man. Never forget that, never feel ashamed. If she tries to belittle or change you, lose her number. She has no respect for you.
A woman who loves you will cook for you. Even if it’s bad, or burned. Appreciate the effort.
Don’t try to fix everything for her. She just wants you to commiserate, and support her.
A woman who loves you will bring out your best. Do you know what that is?
Having sexual urges for a woman is okay. Do not buy into the media’s idea that it’s bad, and you should feel guilty. However, how you act on those urges is crucial. Gentlemen wait for the right moment, jerks rush in.
Romance is fun. If it’s a chore, it’s not working.
Relationships are two way streets. If you find yourself alone on the road, it’s time to move on.
Trust is more important than anything else. If she can’t keep your secrets, she’s no good. And guys? Keep your mouth shut.
Hitting is a dealbreaker, always. This is a problem with younger women these days, they know they can get away with it, and you can’t hit back. Even in jest, it’s a red flag.
I’ve found the above will attract you and help you find a decent, caring woman who will be good for you, and that you can trust. They’re rarer these days, but they’re out there, and they’re worth looking for. There’s a lot of pretty, shy, nerdy women out there alone on weekend nights, who would be wonderful girlfriends and wives, but they get overlooked for the flashy women, who are nothing but a headache in the end. Lower your standards, and know this - a woman in love with you is always beautiful.
You get what you put out there, if your bait is for trash, then you get trash. Use quality bait. :)
Whoa! You and I are not on the same page at all! There is more to people than their physical appearance and their bank account. I would hope that people look a little deeper than that but some don’t. I just don’t think seeking a beautiful mate or a rich one, is something to set as a goal for yourself or your children.
Actually it is the LOVE of money that is the root of evil, therefore: if money + love = evil, then money + love + women = evil^2, or love + women = a confused mess.
Be able to hit a 300 yard tee shot down the middle...
Oh wait..that’s me...
>Act like you don’t want it.
Definitely works in an office/school environment.
In public, what is there other than the nuclear option (bold and direct)?
I think it was Mark Twain who said, “No husband was ever shot while doing dishes”
Ditto, except I would add “whether or not he goes to church on a regular basis, but you know he loves God and is honest as the day is long.”
That describes the man of my life to a tee and he tells me every day how much he loves me. You are surely blessed if you have it and it is “unconditional love”. Needless to say I am very blessed!

I think that if you read my entire post, you would find that the short list I stated included other aspects of compatability besides either money or beauty. There is a constellation of issues that need to be considered for a marriage, money and physical attractiveness are a part. So are temperment, intellegence, good character, faith compataability, and so forth. Money and looks are not off the table, but other things are also in the mix.
Speaking as a person with a Y chromosome, the poster merely described every heterosexual male I’ve ever known, myself included.
Newsflash: men are predisposed to be drawn to attractive women.

You had to add “middle” didn’t ya.
“... how do you impress a woman?”
When my husband and I were first dating, he asked to “borrow” my car for a surprise. I worked that day and when I came home, my car (a Pinto) had been washed, waxed, and the inside completely detailed. He called his Mother every day no matter where he was and I thought that was fantastic. If a man treats his Mother with love and respect, I figured that was a good sign. That was over 25 years ago (20 since we married). Some things you never forget.
I gave up trying to impress women. I ain’t rich and I can’t carry a dozen donuts without hands. The 2 biggest things going for me is I am conservative and I am not dead.
It’s ok because I have my computer. My computer does not nag or try to change me.
You’ve got one of the best answers on the thread... nice going, ByDesign.
I guess, but it can be a serious issue. How long, and how consistently, a ring stays on a finger is inversely related to how big she insists it is. The best piece of advice you can give a young man is to stay away from women that believe they are entitled to fine jewelry.
