I rather love a rich person: Our minds debugged

Is having sex for money really that much different than wanting someone because they have money?
Think about it:
pros-ti-tu-tion
-noun the act or practice of engaging in sexual intercourse for money i.e. for hire
As we all know there are people in this world that for the exchange of money, gifts, celebrity, career advancements, etc will give sexual favors to others. We see this in all professions (some use it as a profession within itself lol).
What about ALL the many people who only prefer to date people after identifying their “baller” status, celebrity statue, upper class financial worth, car they drive, etc?
Oh course the 1st notion points out GOLD DIGGERS and BOPPERS or whatever other denotation you have for the term but lets think less “extreme” for a moment.
Let me explain
Since childhood little boys are taught to choose to be doctors, lawyers, sports stars, presidents or engineers for their professions (funny how you never hear preacher), which are great careers don’t get me wrong but typically those jobs are embedded in our brains to be sought solely for the acquisition of power and money. I think its kind of sad that only jobs with that sort of appeal are deemed “successful” in our society, even though teachers are no less important. Also with our society and entertainment influence in addition to the employment/financial debactle our nation if faced with we all have this programmed message to “Grind, hustle, stunt, shine, etc”; basically by any means necessary get money money money money… then die. Sad
What does this do to those little boys as they grow to become men?
It makes them see nothing more important than material possessions, bank statements, job titles, and social status. Seriously, look around what are all males motivated by? Ask any guy you know what is the definition of success.
After doing that, take a look at how this affects women..
Since childhood girls are taught to choose to be actresses, models, princesses, pageant contestants and other roles that are primarily identified as “pretty”. Not only that, they are persuaded to be sure to couple with a guy in a profession that is in a genre similar to one indicated above. It is a preconceived notion that “POWER” couples are the only way to go. Therefore songs like Kanye’s Gold Digger pretty much explains the mindset of the majority of females. “After confirming that he is making it, then lets try to see if he is a match for me.”
What does this do to those little girls as they grow to become women?
It makes them see nothing more important than material possessions, bank statements, job titles, and social status. Seriously, look around what type of mates are women motivated to seek? Ask any girl you know what kind of man do they want and see how long it take for “rich” to be mentioned.
Are Power Couples the only people considered truly “happy”? I hope not (they have problems too)
Its understood that being completely broke is not cool and that no woman wants a man who is unreliable financially. Thats a given, but at the same time is searching for that characteristic first a moral standpoint to take? Prime example is the abudant number of celebs and wealthy people who after reaching the spotlight is instantly SUPER attractive. Lol kind of comical that a lot of celebs who have average physical appearances and sub par personality can transform into a sex symbol just as soon as they grace the stage at an award show. Quite shallow.

“The message basically tells us that if we don’t achieve a certain level of financial freedom it is viewed that we haven’t achieved anything of importance.” -100
“If our self worth is merely a comparision of someone else’s it seems that we are more in love with the game than we are with ourselves.” -100
Now with that explanation out the way, back to the original question
Why is the level of our status and number of possessions in comparison to the rest of the worlds’ so important to us?
If someone chooses to seek a mate AFTER 1st checking for what they have or may potentially earn because of their job title they are most likely using a “What can so and so do for me/provide me with if I get with him/her and how will being with so and so improve my self worth (via social status)”.
To me that IS giving yourself to that other person just for the acquisition of the possessions they have access to whether financial, power, status, etc.
Hmm how different is that from the very first couple of paragraphs in this article?

I’ll try to keep it short but MAN this came on time… I have a real specific view on this that I try to tell people all the time but they usually don’t feel me. LOL Sadly, these days 99% of the “couples” in society practice prostitution by definition. While in our minds we are not selling or paying for sex, ultimately, we are. There are the girls who can be into a guy but won’t give it up if he can’t or doesn’t buy her this or treat her to that. And there’s the guy that will spend within reason as long as he knows the end result will be him getting some.
I do for myself and would consider it an insult to my intelligence to knowingly choose to try to make a relationship out of someone who cannot complement my lifestyle, but I don’t take it as far as to seek out a person’s financial status BEFORE giving them the time of day. In my opinion, all some guys need is a little motivation to step their game up (sex is NOT the motivation I’m talking about) but I would be lying if I said I hadn’t used it as that motivation before. *Just keepin it real*
I read this hours ago when you mentioned me in the tweet. I wasn’t going to comment until I read Nae’s comment.
I have been thinking that the problem may be that people are only accepting parts of old traditions and altering them into something that is based on greed and selfishness. For instance, it was/is gentleman like for a man to pay and court a girl that he is interested in. I agree with this, but today, it is widely accepted that the male will fit the bill. Women in the past fought for their independence and equal rights so they could build their own empires from under the males’ rule.
Through popularization by the media, the definition of what an independent woman is has been skewed rapidly. I know few women around my age who pays for their living without the aid of another. I also understand that women who are looking to be “catered” are bringing down the number of quality women. What I fail to understand is if women are independent and have fought for equality, shouldn’t the dates/meals be at least 50/50? Doubles standards effect everyday relationships more than people realize.
