And once again - we agree completely! I've always said that looks are important and that anyone that says they aren't is either blind or a liar. I don't understand the concept of people saying that looks don't matter and that anyone that thinks so is shallow. Sure, there are people that for...

Wait, what? How on earth did that come about? I know this much - my ex is super hot (well, she was when I dated her, haven't laid eyes on her in over three years) and she has a brain too. I'm just saying there are guys who focus purely on looks and there are guys for whom intelligence is more...

I agree with you there to a certain extent. It's an uphill battle for single women in their 30's. I don't often hear about it in real life, but in the media there seems to be a growing number of women in their 30's lamenting the 'man shortage'. That is, they want to settle down and have kids and...

As in all areas of life, there are always exceptions. You're gonna get the female corporate executive who will always be looking to 'trade up' but you're also gonna get the female who is happy to maintain a relationship with a man who makes less than she does and isn't in as 'sexy' a career as...

Yeah totally! But see, the thing is these guys are stupid enough to believe that if they're careful they won't get caught, but smart enough to know that if they initiate divorce, they're gonna get bent over. I don't meet many guys in their 30 & 40's or older who advise getting married. Mark

Yeah I don't have a problem with a situation where the woman earns more than the man. Having said that, I probably wouldn't maintain a long term relationship with a woman who earned more than I did. As far as men baulking at dating a woman that earns more - I dunno. I think it definitely is a...

Nat, I think you know that you and I see eye to eye on a lot of issues - including this one. In my opinion, it's easy to theorise about how a man *should* respond in such situations, but it's not easy in reality. I've seen it happen - guys getting teased by mates/workmates, people looking down...

I don't belileve this is due to over inflated ego's. I think it has more to do with the perception that if a man earns less than his wife/girlfriend, then he isn't 'manning up' and taking responsibility as the main breadwinner. This can be quite embarrassing for the man in question and lead him...

Or more pertinent - that your boys don't fall for them. Mark

Hi Wylie, I don't think I was making myself clear. I wasn't saying all women are gold diggers looking for a rich bloke to spend all their money on her. What I mean is that women don't date/marry a man that they perceive as being on their level or below them. This goes for any social group. From...

Doesn't really concern me if some people here don't agree with what I've said. All I need to do is look at reality to see the proof. Mark

Hi asdf, The point of the saying is that women always marry 'up'. Never on equal terms or below. Feminism may have taken hold in a lot of areas of our society, but the fact is that the large majority of women still want a man that can look after them. Mark

Hahaha mate, in a perfect world maybe. But: 1. I got sick of being disgusted when i looked in the mirror 2. Women are able to choose who they wish to mate with. Men don't have that option (unless they are very very high value). There's a saying - 'When dating a man, a woman looks in one of two...

How about SHANK - Single, Hostile Attitude, No Kids. Suits me perfectly. Ever since I stopped being a fat slob and got in shape (lost the beer gut), my outlook has grown increasingly more about ME. As in, doing what's right for me, my confidence is shooting through the roof, not putting other...

You and I must spend time with completely different sets of wealthy people then. Don't agree that it's poor man's thinking, rather 'moronic' thinking. There are plenty of opportunities to reduce taxes legally, one wonders why anyone would want to risk jail by breaking the law.... This...

You're damn right I do and I don't mind in the slightest letting everyone else pay for it too! Also, thanks for the clarification before Tracey. When's the next Brisbane meeting dealy? Mark

Hi David, I think it's great that people pay tax - I just don't want to be one of them. Mark

I don't understand this mentally some people have that you should pay your taxes based on some moral obligation that it's somehow the 'right' thing to do. Let people pay tax if they want - I'm going to claw back every single dollar I possibly can legally. If you're so concerned about helping...

He doesn't donate anything anymore! Mark

Hi asdf, I like your idea, but do you really think the ATO is stupid enough to fall for it? There are lots of things you would need to do in such a situation, such as one person charging the other rent and having to declare that income and subsequently losing the CGT exemption on 50% of the...
