Red's input disproved that theory completely! Rather than dividing those opinions along the sex line, I think it is more useful to see those attitudes among all people regardless of whether it is a man or if it is a woman. Red is interested in love more than money, and I am with her on that. Some people are more interested in money than they are love. It is called the loss of natural affection, and that is one of the predictions that the Bible makes about people in the last days. One of the predictions is that they will be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. The other prediction is that they will be without natural affection. What is natural affection? When I was young I was involved in a family ranching operation. We had cows once in a great while that would not take care of their baby calves. That is the lack of natural affection. When any person choses money above love that is the lack of natural affection. Money is artificial anyway, and its only value is to get what you need, so if you have what you need without so much money you are that much richer!

Ha! Ha! Sorry to tell you but Red's theory did not disprove anything. Fact is we can't fool mother nature. God created men to look for fertile soil to plant a seed--this means healthy attractive young women. God created women to nurture and grow the seed--this means she looks for a healthy man with good genes who is also a good provider (money) and protector. People can play word games and talk about "love" but facts prove it's all basic god driven biological drive.
Women don't "love" a poor man. Women "love" a man that has social and economic status. Studies have been done and tests given. Take one average looking guy, put him in a picture with a description where he is poor living in a shack and zero women will be interested. Put the same man in a business suit, driving a $100K car, living in a $500K house and describe him as a successful doctor or lawyer and women will "love" to meet him and will say they could definitely "love" him.
Women "love" men with a certain level of social and economic status. Women do not "love" poor men.
