well... im assuming both of us are very analytical persons here, we need to break things down to the most basic form: humans are mammals.
in the animal kingdom, the most desiarable female choose to mate with the most powerful male. the most powerful males show themselves by beating/killing the other males. powerful males = capable provider for the offsprings. powerful males can protect the young.
human is not that much different. females of the human race choose to see the same type of powerfulness in money, "power", fame.
in that order. power = money in most cases. fame induces power, and might able to produce money. non the less, the mean is still money. raw purchasing power. the ability to provide. period.
as males instead being valued on how we can kill off each other, we are valued on how much we make/year, & amount of assets.
simple.
modified equation for females
"desirable" = Money^k + i*Intelligence + log(j*Attractiveness).
modified equation for male
"desirable" = log(i*Intelligence) + Attractiveness^j + Money * (0)
*for females*
attractiveness: that can be easily forgo when the expotential power of money weights in.
intelligence: intelligence is correlated with the ability to make money. you wanna disagree? correlation doesn't mean causation, but there's enough evidence to support some kind of relationship. ex. doctors, lawyers, engineers. etc... blah blah blah.
money: expotential? it depends on the decisions we made along the road. inorder to achieve the state of being rich/wealth, we have to optimize decision path. its a traveling salesman problem. it's an NP-Complete problem. since you cannot forsee the next step, it reduced to the simple greedy algorithm. do what you think its best for you at the current moment with the information given to you.
for example:
why do good amount of women are attracted to mick jagger(rolling stones) & steve taylor(aerosmith)??? they are not exactly the most good looking men even in their own time. i can say they're either at average or below average by looks even when they were young. why do hot women still throw their bodies on them, even tho they pass their prime a few decades ago? cuz they are rich & famous.
why most (american) women are lazy?
because disney portaited the idea of prince charming(rich guy) to come and rescue the girls out of trouble and marry them. and live happily ever after. and the subscribed to it religioiusly.
how would i know? i'm in college. in my school, there are more girls than guys enrolled. in my engineering classes, its a rare occasion to see 6 girls in a 75 ppl class. where did the girls go? english, sociology, psychology... the bullshait majors. why? they're just waiting for prince charming. that's at the college level, can you imagine those girls who only graduated high school or enrolled in the 13th grade?
why do guys want to be rich?
we want to sleep with the hottest women we can get. in order to do that, we have to be rich. yes, it helps if you can play the game(show intelligence that way is better). but the bottom line is
**MONEY**
can you argue otherwise? i wanna hear it.
Quote from nitro:
Here is the equation that I think most people use, conciously or subconciously:
"desirable" = k*Money + i*Intelligence + j*Attractiveness.
