I am totally with you on that, but don't you think that they do it because they know it gets men interested, albeit for not the nicest of reasons?

cos they wana get noticed and get a sha8 out of it?

Indeed. But this thread is about love, and dressing cheaply to get a one night stand with a man is hardly the stuff dreams are made of.

In my mnd you don't get any respect from men by behaving like that, and without respect, there is little basis for love. Getting to know someone for who they are and their personality is much more important than satisfying a short term 'need' to be wanted. So are these people going to end up happy? Well maybe, but personally I would rather meet men in a more civilised way and get to know them for who they are rather than what they have.

I have never gone particularly for men with money. I have been with my now DH for 13 years but prior to that it never interested me. If they had a nice personality and nice teeth!!! i was interested. Any extras were a bonus but i would certainly never go with anyone for wealth or flashy car.
If you met a girl and she was only interested in what material possessions you had you would be better off without her. My DH used to 'wine and dine' me at a local pub with 2 meals for a fiver followed by a pint of lager. I just loved that he thought to take me out rather than how much he spent. He also used to buy me a 20p mix up of my favourite sweets, a magazine and then run me a bath where i would have a lovely relaxing soak. I think it is the little gestures that mean a lot not how much someone can spend on you.

Ahhh. I'm a girl who's easily pleased!!!

Its difficult to respond to this question without tarring all women with the same brush. To do so would clearly be absurd and so simplistic as to become meaningless, so I am going to do my damndest not to.

There have been some interesting points made in this thread, not least that a person's values and perspective tends to evolve with age. What does it for you at 18 is unlikely to do it for you in your late twenties, and so on. Knowledge and, dare I say it, cynacism will alter how one sees the world and therefore what they look for in it.

My advice (for what its worth) is to just get on with life and take it as it comes. You simply cannot rush this sort of thing. If you try to, you risk appearing needy and desperate, which is not very attractive at all. It is often said that blokes have more interest shown from the opposite sex when in a stable relationship and not 'looking'. Take the hint . If all the women you like place a high premium on attributes that you don't have, they aren't for you!

I really do think people pair up correctly!! I "know" couples that all they do is live for is the weekend, the work hard and then they play harder.. they like to be liked! They like showing off fast cars, even faster woman/men!

But then I know couples that don't wanna go out, they like to snuggle as home and be with each other 99% of the time!!! I think in the end when you find the right person there the right match for you!!!

Everyone also says I'm the right "match" for my bf. ."your a good couple".... now I kow what they mean by this.. your both the same height, both abit overweight and both have the same hobbies! We're on the same playing field.. Neither out of each others league.. and no sense of insecurity about it!! Not really a perfect match, but we do the same same things, we like the same things which gives us loads to talk about. Not sure it's love... but we're having a good time.. and your ony young once! I guess it's mainly about selfwareness and if your prepared to change that for somthing you really want.. anyone what that Seduction School on channel 4 the other day???

I dunno if I would I like to go out with a woman that I would want to snuggle 99 per of the time. Is wanting to snuggle 99 % of the time the test for true love?
