I agree with you that in today's society money=security...now consider this, traditionally which gender has been responsible for being the "bread-winner" and more importantly, what happens when the gender in consideration fails to live up to the expectations.
Second, there can never be too much "security", consequently, a man always has to make sure he is the position to bring in more "security" thus making it that much harder for him in the context of today's culture/society.
Now as for the inferior/dominant point you made, i won't even get into that because such labels, as prescribed to the genders, is trouble waiting to happen--and i want no part of it.
But actually, it has everything to do with why women have it easier. At the evolutionary core of all of this is the simple need for women to have security. As, the weaker of the two genders (Flame suit...even though it's the truth), females yearn for comfort and security. They've all been taught, biologically and socially, to only settle with the male that can provide this comfort and security.
Consequently the man that can provide the most comfort and the most security will get the woman. That's pretty much what it boils down to. Now as you pointed, in today's society, security=money. I'll expand on this notion by saying that (security + comfort) requires a man to +++ money, in today's society. So a man needs to go above and beyond if he wants to keep his woman and make her happy--now you can factor in all the personality bull but i'm pretty sure that all goes to the back of the "must-have" list the minute you cant provide that security and comfort.
I see now that your OP was in regards to relationships. I wish you would have highlighted this
I read your entire post, and I see your point.
Is it fair that a woman's personality means nothing to me?
Than why should it not be the same vice versa?
You are making it seem that females are the only ones that are shallow?
Men Care about = Looks
Women Care about = Security
At-least men have the ability to come to offer it. With women you are either
Women are not the shallow ones Not the case, Men have an advantage in regards to this for the simple reason that looks fade, ones monetary value onlyincreases.
For instance say a middle-aged woman who is making say 100'000 annually, do you think she will find a Man who is worth attaining at her age?
NO
My father is 50+ and about to wife up a woman who is 30. While you can argue the reasons as to why (no argument here
I find it hard to believe my Mother doing the same.
In essence if you want to be fair I think it is Suffice to say that from birth to say 25 (when Women are at their best physically) Women have it easier.
From then on Their value depreciates, where as most Males (White collar) Value increases immensely.
So while I might be at the club
It evens out and IMO eventually favors the Male
