[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]Childless man here. Women are not commodities. The reality for most of us is, if we are into you, we do not care about your circumstances.

We don't care about your job. We don't care about your kids. We don't care about your master's degree.

We care about YOU. DCUM will say I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm a man, but it's the truth. [/quote]

Ladies, find this man's number. Because almost no other man agrees with him. I'm a PP who was a temporary single dad. I wish everyone had an equal chance in dating, but it's just not true. Replace this guy's words with, "We don't care if you're short," "We don't care if you're bald,", "We don't care if you can get an erection." Because that's the magnitude of importance for a woman with kids. He IS correct about job and masters degree. 99% of men couldn't care less about your employment status or education. It's all about physical attractiveness, meshing of personalities, and NO BAGGAGE (baggage could include psych problems, family problems, KIDS, etc.) [/quote]

The question, as always, is "care about... [i]for what[/i]?"

A man who is looking for a ONS or FWB [i]will not[/i] care about your job, kids, education, only about your physical attractiveness. In that scenario, looks are necessary and sufficient.

[b]A man who is looking for an LTR or marriage [i]will [/i]care about your job, kids, and education[/b] - at least, if he has any sense at all - because he will not want to get saddled with a trashy gold-digger no matter how hot she is. He will still require physical attractiveness - however, in this scenario, looks are necessary [i]but not sufficient[/i].[/quote]

You are the only one assuming people make the choice based on looks alone. I have a wonderful male friend who was a total catch. He fell head over heels for a widow with 4 kids that he ran with. They're married and he has adopted them as his own. [/quote]

Your reading comprehension is poor. Look at the bolded section again. It says, very clearly, that men looking for an LTR or marriage do not just care about looks. And your example of a "wonderful male friend" supports exactly that point. He obviously liked that widow for more than just looks.[/quote]
