Looks, money, or character: Choosing what's important

male mates need not consider money so highly, but should consider character more important than looks. After all, it is probably better to sacrifice some looks than to deal with the diseases.

If you are a good looking caddish bum, the male mate you want has more money than character, but looks are unimportant. In fact, ugly due to extremely advanced age is a bonus. For female mates, unless there is inherent wealth, character is the only important factor. You are not the ideal mate for rich, ugly people of high character. Poor, ugly women of high character will make extraordinary efforts, even barely subsisting, while you take advantage of the tolerance she learned waiting for the good looking person you are to come into her life and see the beauty underneath her poor, ugly exterior. Relationships with these dynamics are highly sought for talk show controversy.

If you are Springer-caliber trailer trash all the way, then, just as if you have it all, you should seek in either a male or female mate the descending qualities of character, looks, then money. You are in your comfort zone financially. Sure you want to get the best looking mate you can, but it is far more important they do not set the place on fire, call the cops on you, or consume the whole stash.

So, though you now know I am not on the market, at least you know more what to look for in a mate who may be available. I am not with my girlfriend for her money, nor is she with me for mine. She is so beautiful in this beholder's eyes, but, more than that, she is my friend. Perhaps she regards our friendship as highly as I do, or maybe I am just one sexy hunk of meat to her. Either way, it works for me.
