Choice of spouse? Most men don’t really really don’t care what your job is. It’s your career, a detail. And if you find someone you adore who is willing to put up with your shit, that’s a keeper. |
| I try my best not to judge people by their looks. Based on what I see while out in public, I'd then have to judge 80% of the population... the DC metro area is pretty lacking in attractive people. |
Who said anything about jobs? In the "choice of spouse" department, men are judged first and foremost on the hotness of their wife - and that's by both other men and other women. |
Maybe those frumpy men are harassed and heckled by a wife (like the OP maybe?) who is always chiding and sniping at him: "Look at you...you frumpy man. YOU did not manicure the lawn so no bedroom fun for you this month. I'm going to the bridge game and have some wine with my lady friends whose husbands do not look like a frumpy dumpling like you do. Hmmph!" So the man gives up, for even if he de-frumped himself with great effort because he works 80 hours a week not including the work of maintaining a home, the wife would still berate and hassle the husband, he who can never please the entitled, ever-bitching Wife Queen. |

I don't care what anybody thinks, I'm keeping my geeky husband who has been incredibly good to me for more than 20 years.
If you want the narcissistic guy with sociopathic tendencies (but a washboard stomach!) who treats you like total garbage, then have at. Not my problem. |
this Surely you don't wonder what Melania is doing with Trump. |
| It's all about the benjamins babe. |
True. I have seen how woman change once they know a man has money. I am sure people on this board have seen it also. |
I have heard told that an orange complexion backed by a boisterous personality can be a type of aphrodisiac to certain women. |
Oh yeah there was a 50-ish dad on my DS sports team who was nothing to look at (gray hair, skinny arms and legs) but as soon as the single moms figured out he had money, he was a magnet for their pathetically obvious flirtation. |
By women maybe; you all hate each other. By men: Is she bitchy or not. Yes: poor guy. No, and he’s getting laid a lot: lucky bastard |
| I don’t judge, but must admit I’m intrigued when I notice a very attractive woman with a big sloppy guy. I guess they must have money like others suggested. |
No, I don't know her, I don't know him so nothing much to judge except if they say, do or look something crazy. |
I usually think she was hard-up to find a spouse and settled big-time. |
Eh, nobody can tell how often a married guy is getting laid* -- so you can't judge a guy on that. * Based on DCUM, I'd say the answer is usually "much much less than you think or that he'd ever admit to". If she's hot enough, that makes up for a lot of bitchiness and lack of career or intelligence. |
