My old workmate used to tell women he was a pilot. I saw him snogging more women than he had a fair right to. I mean, its bad on his part, but also bad on the women who dribble over money and power. Nobody was a great human being in that situation.
Do people think pilots are rich and powerful? I know a couple of pilots. They make about €90k a year and they are basically well qualified bus drivers.
I agree with you, but thats not how people see them. Many people here earn near the bottom £11ph now.
I was briefly confused as to why the PH level of thee pilots was improtant and then I realized it stood for pounds an hour.
ph - per hour, not pounds an hour :D
Because at 11 they're pretty basic
Ba-dum-tiss.
Mmm, sexy bus drivers!
You're kidding right?
Why is wanting a person with money even in the same ballpark of bad as lying to people to get them into bed?
Just because I don't understand or share the preference of someone doesn't mean I want them to get used like a fleshlight.
Is it seriously your opinion that a person wanting someone with money is a bad human being who deserves to be treated like what your workmate did?
This is simply misogyny. And people are ultra casual about it. That's seriously scary. I wonder what other partner preferences you think makes women basically lose their right to be treated with a baseline of respect.
No, these are very select types of people I am talking about. I certainly never categorised all women as you infer. That is why I said "that situation". There are still some women swayed by money and power. There are still some women who are waiting for "Prince Charming". These people exist and no amount of "respect" is gong to change that.
You have also confused opinion with experience. Do you think its healthy for people to allow a man to behave this way to themselves? Have you daughters? Have you ever had to sit her down and explain that not all guys are great? And that she can do some things (that she should not have to do) to protect herself from emotional and physical harm.
This is a quote from you where you put women who want men with money on the same level as a guy exploiting them through manipulation:
I am still waiting for your explanation on why women who want a guy with money are "bad".
Spoken like a true capitalist.
So I can assume every man who wants an attractive and/or young(er) woman is also a bad human being who deserves to get manipulated and lied to for whatever reason. Got it!
