You don’t “choose” who you fall in love with. Love picks you.
False. Love, like any feeling, is created by our thoughts, and our thoughts are within our control.

Wrong. You can’t will yourself to love someone. If you think you can, you’ve never been in love before. Real love is like a tidal wave. It’s a force that you can’t stop. You don’t do conjure that up in your mind. You can choose to walk away, but you can’t just make that happen.

If you go for money, you will likely have to give up something else - age, looks, or personality. No free rides most the time.
Wow. That reply was going well until it got to the specifics, then was almost as shallow as the original post. "Age, looks or personality" as what you sacrifice for dollars? How about, "If you go for money, you likely will have to give up something else--possibly ethics, morals, time spent with the family."

You choose who you date, you fall in love with the people you date.
Yes, you choose who you date. But you don’t just fall in love with people. You can like them a lot. Admire and respect them. Plan a future together. But that’s not love. I think is why many marriages amongst professionals fail. The women are looking to satisfy a checklist of criteria when picking a future spouse. It’s backwards. All in compassing love should be the first, most important criteria. It’s also reason why so many of these women stop having sex with their spouse. They never passionately loved them in the first place.

If I had been looking for someone with a certain income at that age, I think I would have filtered out most of the nice guys.

Oh shut up.
You are setting yourself back with illogical statements like the one above.
+1. I don't care what how many advances women make, there are certain industries that are easier for men to have a real career in (Big Law, tech, finance). Unless these women don't want to have any babies...
