although I already voted I'm leaning towards your answer. I didn't think she was a gold digger but do think she might like a bit of drama. always good to take plenty of time.  :evilgrin0002:

I'm voting golddigger. She's dating way above her social standard, lies about her living conditions and has a marriage in her head even before first-date.

Yet a girl that goes and sucks an out of shape guys 15 years older than her, is a quality woman. Right......... Stop being being so salty, she is of the league of most of the guys here, she deserves the best she can get. She found a well off guy, who is smart, are women not allowed to be in lust with great men?

This woman is not out of league of most of the guys with marriages here. The singer might, but the woman she portrays in the clip isn't

Plus my wife looks way better than her, even if she can't sing, she can cook like a goddess.

You can post a photo on here. You made the comment.i am just being honest, this girl is pretty, and deserves the best she can get. That does not mean a middle aged man earning $100k a year, and goes to the gym twice a week. I know these women, because I talk to them, they are not financial pots, they want the best man they can get. If that means a young wealthy, decent looking guy, then so be it. How many of you guys can go toe to toe with this man? Yes you may earn more than him, but realistically, do you compete physically? These women want more than just money. And with this man, they get that.

 Stunning? Pfff! She's ok, but just average if you ask me. There would have to be something really special about her personality for me to book a flight to go see her. And I'm also guessing by just looking at her that she's the type who would not be able to hold that figure past her mid 20's. Expect her to pack on the pounds after that!

I dunno.  I did like the Paul Klee reproduction.  I also think, as a group, we are being FAR too serious about a comedy clip.

...this girl is pretty, and deserves the best she can get. That does not mean a middle aged man earning $100k a year, and goes to the gym twice a week. I know these women, because I talk to them, they are not financial pots, they want the best man they can get. If that means a young wealthy, decent looking guy, then so be it. How many of you guys can go toe to toe with this man? Yes you may earn more than him, but realistically, do you compete physically? These women want more than just money. And with this man, they get that.

One thing you haven't learned yet, because you're still a young guy, is that there are basically three groups of young women.

A.  Those who want a man who is no older that they are by ~4 years.  Anything older is "grody" or whatever the kids say these days. 

B.  Women who are open to a relationship with an older man, but prefer a man close to their age.

C.  Women who actively prefer an older man.

The first group is the largest, let's say half.  Then the next group is 30%, which leaves about 20% in the last group.  Whatever the percents don't matter.  The point is that they're out their and, if one is an older man who prefers younger partners, then it's up to one to find them.  They tend to keep it on the down low, because the girls in the first group shame them for their preferences.

Do you guys let your woman wear shoes?

Yes, majority of the women that seek older men are interested in the financial comfort. Twist it how you like, but those women are bigger gold diggers than the woman in this video.

Don't forget some of these women lack options, they are probably not that attractive for local guys, let alone young foreigners, or have kids which puts off many men. Their lack of choice gives them two choices , give up going to the West, or pursue an older man.

If a woman is beautiful enough find a half decent looking man, who is wealthy, and gets excited over that. In my eyes, there is nothing wrong. I am far from rich, I hold nothing against these women that maximise what they can get.

This, in the legal biz, is what we call a "declarative statement". 

Also the video is a comedy piece, and as I noted above, many here are taking it far too literally.

Don't forget some of these women lack options, they are probably not that attractive for local guys, let alone young foreigners, or have kids which puts off many men. Their lack of choice gives them two choices , give up going to the West, or pursue an older man.

That's your version of the "official narrative".  There are some women who simply prefer older men.  That's not just Slavs, it's women on this side of the pond also.  One simply has to be able to read the signs.  You can say "Oh, they're all just gold diggers with no other options", but that doesn't make it so.   

If a woman is beautiful enough find a half decent looking man, who is wealthy, and gets excited over that. In my eyes, there is nothing wrong. I am far from rich, I hold nothing against these women that maximise what they can get.

I like to say that everyone cuts their own deal.  Beyond that, you would be surprised at the breadth and depth of human desire.  But right now, you're a young guy and you see things with the certainty of the young.  Me?  I've been in this field of poppies a long time.  And if you live long enough, you will see everything.

End of story

The irony here, is that whilst you slam the women/older guys and accuse them using cash as bait, you can only spend months in the gym hoping you find a vain young lady, willing to give you a turn because you're in shape. It bothers you that you have nothing else to offer and seeing an older bloke with a young hotty fills you with jealousy and resentment.

From where I'm sitting, both strategies are completely flawed unless the people in the relationship are honest with themselves.

As I have said many, many times before, this is about a package, a balance.

Our young friend here can offer more of something that bb offers less of and bb offers more of another attribute than Chickenbrah does. If either were to lead ONLY with the attribute that they have a preponderance of then both would have less success than a bloke who offers a good mix and balance of attributes.

The trick with ANY woman and ANY kind of relationship is to figure out the optimal blend of attributes to present. Get that right and, as long as one can offer the required attributes, then 'bingo bango' we have a winner.

Some women really do prefer a preponderance of looks in the package mix. Some women really do prefer a preponderance of money in the package mix.

A big mistake that many blokes make is thinking that the only two attributes that a woman responds to are money and looks. They absolutely are not! Truth is that, for most women, neither of these factors are even the most important.

In the past I have said that if you want a woman to love you then find out what she really needs and give it to her - keep on giving it and she will be yours forever.

...everything ends always well; if it’s still bad, then it’s not the end!

Right idea, but I think it's more finding the pool of women who respond to your particular blend, and then selecting a partner or partners from that group.

Indeed.  Confidence, intellect, height.  Many factors.

A woman I know prefers older men because they "understand her body better" than younger guys.

You can take that as you will.
