    Woman intrinsically is looking for a man who has a physical attractiveness and a pleasant attitude. Why the physical attractiveness is important because she subconsciously compares her husband to other women's husbands (irrationally thought). The attitude is as well important for her because she want her man to take care her and consider her the most important in his life (another irrationally thought).

    Generally, it has nothing to do with money and power. If a man has money and power, he has to use them to protect and support her rather than to show his dominance.

    I don't pretend to know what women want or even think that I have them figured out. I just go by what they say:

    UK - Women think a man's a catch on £50,000 a year

    I follow the Jeet Kune Do philosophy of dating & trading where there are no pre-set strategies or formats to follow. Just go with the flow and make up the most appropriate action in the moment. :)

  7. Yeah, that's why women are attracted to you when they see an attractive woman on your arm, they think you have something.

    BTW, I agree 100% with what eagle said, especially the irrationality parts.

    Men and women's minds just work differently, that's the way it is, and always will be.

  9. i didn't peruse ten pages of responses, so I don't know if this has been said, but here a few unorthodox ideas.

    first, when you "cut losses" in a relationship, it isn't by dissing the other person. You can cut a loss by ending an argument by giving in (if it's not a huge non-negotiable), etc. The point is neither people nor relationships are commodities. You may buy and sell 'em when you're young and careless, but that's just plain wrong and actually stupid.

    the next thing is something I learned from one of my mentors. this guy would have enormous equitiy swings -- 6 figures per day sometimes, 5 routinely. He never, ever told his wife. He insulated her from the ups and downs. that's what a man should do.

  10. Well timed (insert famous comedian's punchline here) and very fitting. :p


    I hope your mentor prepared you for divorce court. I don't care what kind of trader someone is, hiding the $$$ figures from a spouse is a fast track to a costly split. Vaginamoney here I come...
