    so true

    maybe not but there is not the slightest chance that they will have either the desire or the capability to treat anyone they DO end up with who CANNOT do these things as their equal or anything like it. It's very very simple: men with no money HAVE MUCH LESS INFLUENCE over women with money than the influence that women WITHOUT money have over men WITH money and while women thought this influence wasn't nearly enough when it was all they had men are now supposed to be satisfied with MUCH MUCH LESS. And apparently they mostly are.

    ---------

    Absolutely true. And a concept that women have trouble grasping, or choose to overlook.
