[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 977769, member: 8704"] Well there was a question mark there, see I am actually asking you what your point is. If you are not trying to make a generalized statement then what was the point of saying that all the women you know (execpt for the teenage one who's opinion you don't respect) agree? What was your point then? Here I'll give the quotes you desire then: So only a competent woman would agree with X? Your wife is an extraordinarily competent woman and she said X so women who say Y are incompetent? So only silly 15 year olds would say Y? If you are not making a statement that most women would say one thing then what type of statement are you making? Why justify competence, why go on about how only silly girls would make the other choice, why post this bit later: So women prefer fat men? SO that is why Fat women don't date as much, they only respect people bigger than them? That also explains why we are much more powerful and larger than cavemen? You say I'm misrepresenting you by saying that you are making a statement on how most women would react and using all the women you know as proof, then you go and make a statement that most women have chosen that way throughout history, I must admit I'm sort of confused to what your point actually is then? Look I will agree that women are drawn to competent men, heck there is no arguement that people in general do not prefer the incompetent as mates. My only problem is the stereotyping and generailzations that are going on, you cannot state how a person will choose in a romantic situation because falling in love is not something that people make a consious choice about, love is a emotional response not a logical response, therefore you cannot really make any kind of pre judgement in this situation. Some will say yes some will say no and some will say "I rather rescue a princess instead of a prince to start with". There is just no way of making a statement on how a majority of the 6,302,508,958* people on this planet will react to this sort of romantic situation.
