I'm not the one who is over-reacting, here. All I asked was why you assumed they were stupid. What's wrong with that?

Why does it matter so much to you anyhow? Does it ring a bell? Any personal connections to a gold-digger? Have you been hurt by one before? Holy heck. Get over yourself. Stop fighting with a teenager over the internet. Sheesh.
And if I ever had been hurt by one - that wouldn't be a very sympathetic thing to say, would it? You're attacking me. I couldn't care less if you were a teenager. What's your age got to do with anything?
You are correct, I was a bit rash in making conclusions as to what you were implying. I apologize on my behalf for my behavior. I need to work on not being so defensive. Forgive me.

That's OK. It is the internet after all, and misunderstands happen all the time. Don't worry about it.

Well, I don't own a car (and not even a driver's license), so...

When I was donating blood recently, the phlebotomist on staff said, "Hey, I wanna show you something." (He was a stranger to me). He takes out his phone and shows me some pictures of his extremely pimped-out ride. Being the good little pretend-NT, I said, "Oh, how nice! Is that your hobby?" And he said, "What? Taking pictures?"

Well, it could be that taking pictures *was* actually his hobby. It certainly is mine, and I've taken lots of pictures of several cars I've seen on the street and liked. And also of aircraft, that wouldn't mean I own them... I do show the pictures to other people, to see if they like them too.

It is nice if he has one, though, so I don't have to drive us everywhere.
It could be a real rust bucket and I wouldn't care.

What if he has a bus/train card?

Yes, some people don't get it...
To make it clear (because apparently misunderstandings are rampant on this topic):
I don't drive, I don't have a car, but I do like cars. I take pictures of cars and collect model cars (the ones I like, I mean - I don't care for the "gotta get them all" sort of thing). I probably know the traffic laws far better than many people who drive around here. And I know about mechanics, though I obviously lack practice. I do think driving a car would make me more dependable.
When I found out some years ago that my father had passed the opportunity to get a Ford Mustang at employee discount price when the local Ford plant was closing down back then in the late 60s/early 70s (I was some 1-2 years old back then), I wanted to strangle him. That's not to say I don't like our family's VW Beetle 1500, it's a classic too, and I want to eventually get it fully operational again. The one I don't like is the 1982 Citroën GSA my father bought back then (he did want it as a status symbol, and we haven't been able to convince him to get rid of it ever since, although it's spent far more time lying in the garage than on the streets - it definitely wasn't built with our 80s' streets in mind and couldn't survive the abuse).

but i agree on the good roads part. It makes sense for competitive drifting to have started in japan not because of their culture, since rally drivers had been going sideways for decades, but because the conditions and cars allowed it to be done by many.

Jajaja you don't have to point out to me that puertorriqueños are awesome, I already know. I forgive their dragging tendencies on account of the good music. Nice to know they can drive though, even if I don't agree with the style.
Yeah sadly we don't have many of those kinds of cars here and the few we do are not popular.

ill disagree on the music part, but thats to personal taste. And we dont have many good roads in PR. The speed limit is not often broken as your car is likely to fall apart if you go any faster

Yes, it's in the book and explains different theories on why women are attracted to men. He discusses a few theories in this video, including triggering the pre-selection switch in a woman.

Mystery writes for and attemps to appeal to men, not women, out of financial interest. It tends to be a norm with pick-up artists to strongly exaggerate the success they have had with women as well as their targets' "quality". I actually once asked Mystery a quote for a communication skills presentation out of interest, and I did receive a flirty reply directly from him, accompanied by a facebook friend request. He seemed perfectly polite, but didn't follow the rules of his own book.
I'm from an area and culture where it tends to be taken for granted that both people in the relationship are educated, aspire to have good careers and work together for mutual interest. I actually expected this to be more common than what it seems to be based on this forum. I would expect clear majority of women appreciating personality traits more than any material possessions. It is true, though, than things such as culture, religion, distance, age gap, financial stability, health ect. can have their toll in a relationship, potentially great enough for the relationship to come to an end. It's natural for both man and woman to want to feel secured in life and in a relationship. I would think material goods are only small part of the mozaic there, however.
Of course, it's ideal to find someone that has a mutual goal for the greater good and I think that applies in terms of standard of living, healthcare, education and career prospects and definitely a necessity if you intend to raise children or animals in a healthy or safe environment. I think it's a determining factor for most people but I think it can also make them lose touch with other factors in the relationship such as spontaneity or creativity and the relationship can become too rigid.
It's also important that people share religious and cultural preferences, those that are bound by rigid and dogmatic thinking will be so in a relationship as well. If I was in a relationship with someone that saw a child questioning their beliefs as negative when I see it as developing a sense of identity, it would create a problem.
You are right, there are many factors that determine the compatibility and success of a relationship, if love is only an insatiable hunger we crave or a shelter we seek, if it doesn't bring us to an ultimatum or realization of self then what's the point of it? If we only seek love for validation, security or acceptance, we are living by a realization or demand that isn't our own. A reputation can be built in five years yet destroyed in five minutes, so can love, the only constant in this world is our freedom of expression. If that is the case, surely expression and spontaneity should be the strongest factors of why people are drawn towards each other.
