I don't agree with your categories, which imo are demeaning, but I will give you my opinion nontheless.
People come together as couples for all sorts of reasons, many of them have nothing to do with traditional reasons. The number of reasons are as unique as the individual and his experiences, and there is probably no one reason. If I had to take a stab at it, I would say it is "showing off." To you and I we may think the guy is an idiot, but he is not trying to impress you or me.
Look around you though, 95% or more of "famous" people only date other famous people, at least it appears to be so in this country. I am not certain because I am not famous, but if I were, I would be like Roger Federer: I would marry a woman no one had ever heard of. Dating, that would be free-for-all, and it is all in good fun and harmless, imo.
If I could change one thing, I would make the average life-span of human beings to be 120 years, but with the same biological time-table as now. So, being 70 would be like being 40 today, and being 40 would be like being 20. This would drastically change human psychology imo. Being "twenty" for only ten years is too short. Imagine 100 years ago when many people even in developed areas lived to be 40 years old
Quote from peilthetraveler:
I was reading this article http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/sh...on-signs-with-Indianapolis-Col?urn=nfl,190303
and i just dont get it. What would possess a man with money & fame to pick a woman from the bottom of the barrel? The same goes for that guy Cris Angel who I hear was dating or marrying that other ex-playmate. I mean, these girls slept with an 80 year old man for money/fame. That makes them prostitutes any way you cut it. I look at these guys and wonder what they are thinking? Is it severe low self esteem? Because I mean, your self esteem has to be really low to be "proud" of marrying women like that.
A few years back, I was at a gas station and I heard a guy talking to his friend who was an employee about how he got a new girlfriend and how she was a stripper. He was really proud that he got a stripper for a girlfriend and was talking to his friend about how now he was going to be in a higher class now and told his friend he would "bring him along"
I was thinking "what? really? You go out with a stripper and you think you are in a higher social class?" Dont they know that you go out with a stripper/hooker you are in the lowest social class? I have seen this time and time again and i dont get it. Someone explain it to me please.
