Being honest, we all know 9 out of 10 women will go for that rich bastard. Do you disagree? I will be very suprised if you do. That seems such a basic thing.

I don't think being greedy is an innate characteristic of being a woman- so the orange thing doesn't really make sense to me.
The rich guy and the not rich guy isn't a matter of honesty. All you're being honest about is your perspective on women- there isn't any kind of objective truth to what you're saying. It isn't a "basic thing," it is an illustration of how you view the world and nothing more, and, while i understand that you think the vast majority of women are greedy, i don't think that that's accurate. There is no way for us to reconcile these two perspectives. Though to me it doesn't really make much sense to try and say meaningful things about women when there is no way you're in any kind of position to make such claims, i.e. claiming that all women are greedy isn't credible because there's no way that you've even come close to dealing with enough women, each one in such a way that you've seen that they're all mainly concerned with money.

What's really classic is that the true believers put all their faith in getting some in some overly broad, self serving generalization, and then start whining when they get generalized about. "Aside from the one where all women are greedy bitches- i find generalizations to be distasteful and inaccurate."
Then, what's even more classic is that instead of attempting to refute the generalizations that they don't like- namely that they need to grow up and stop trying to find love in shallow people- they just reassert the generalization that they do like- that all women are greedy bitches.
If you had put more effort into reading the thread, you'd see that many of the "non believers" think that ladder theory is accurate under limited circumstances. The idea, though, is that the people for whom it doesn't apply outnumber the people for whom it does, and so if you avoid the people to whom it applies- and if you're complaining about them you probably shoud- it's useless.

Is that why all the "true believers" take offense at being told that they don't know what they're talking about when if comes to women? I mean shit, the fact that you have to subscribe to someone else's theory concerning interacting with the opposite sex implies that you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to interacting with the opposite sex, right?
