The thing you don't get mcguppy is maybe women, I know I do and I am not so far off the mark of what women want to be completely wrong here, is that their own guy see *them* as the BMW. A highly classy, goregous car that stereopically, has a pretty great performance rating that they like looking at. Instead, the message is that we got guys here saying that when your a guy's SO, you should be happy being called his "mini-van". It's freaking ridiculous!Then you refuse to live in the real world. You already acknowledged earlier in this thread that there will always be someone better looking, with a bigger johnson, etc etc that will come along. YOU know it and YOU notice it..... yet you expect HIM to somehow NOT?? THAT'S "freaking ridiculous" in my book. What it seems to boil down to JS is that you appear to only want to be valued for the "flash" and not the substance... or at the very least you place greater importance on the "icing" vs on the "cake". And further... you put that particular mindset onto "men" also.
Here's a little evidence:
Apparently, the high end car also has something they wished they had other wise they wouldn't be oggling it to begin with. And it's a most excellent message to send to your own woman that she should be happy with the scraps your throwing her way while you justfy crappy behavior.You have already been told by a number of men here that the first part of your statement is not highly accurate, and that there is a vast difference between noticing something and WANTING it. Just like the BMW, I can notice an attractive woman but yet I have zero desire to be in a relationship (or any sort) with her, because, as mentioned numerous times, I look at MORE then just the flash. I want something (one) that is going to better meet my needs, be reliable and dependable etc etc. But lets accept your logic as being 100% correct for a moment. Lets say I DO want the "flashy" look that BMW comes with. Does that change my desire to ALSO have a vehicle that meets my needs, is reliable and dependable mechanically etc etc ??? NO it does not. And in the end, when I am driving my MiniVan or Pickup along the highway of life, what it says is that I made a choice. I CHOSE that Pick Up. I chose it because it was the better vehicle... I didnt assume it had "less worth" simply because of the way it looked. Thats the highest form of endorsement right there. Yet you want to refer to a man placing great value on the attributes that go beyond the flash of good looks as "SCRAPS" ! Wow ....... just Wow. To me that seems very very shallow. And I think at the root of it, thats why many men (here) find your views somewhat offensive. You insist (unjustified) that we view the world (women) the same way, making us just as shallow as you appear to be when you post that kind of BS.
Now... in all fairness..... I DO see how if you buy into the Cosmo, TV, Redbook, Movie picture of what a man is and how he thinks and acts you would think the way you appear to based on your posts. I also see how the surface behavior or many men, particularly the younger ones, shows that they too are trying to hold up this misguided "front" of what a man is, that the media driven society has created. The message I am trying to get thru to you is that you need to look deeper. You need to seek a man that is willing to base his life choices off of having his REAL needs met, vs "fronting". IF you want to be happy, you need to recognize that what you call SCRAPS are really the meat and potatos of the entire meal.
