yet if men take sex (or looks) into account in dating a woman, he is called shallow? Why can women say outloud they want a rich succesful man, yet if men say they want a dumb nymphomaniac, they are looked upon as a*&holes?
I'm not saying both are wrong or right but it's an unfair double-standard. Both ideas should be okay (and acceptable) because that's how people feel so let them feel that way.

I'm not a chauvinist. I think it's okay that women take into account how much a man makes and I think it's okay that men take into account a woman's looks and not much else. My point is that it's hypocritical to say one is bad and another acceptable. Jeeeeezzz!!!!

it's all about evolution, morals, ethics, history, etc.
man is supposed to make the money while the woman stays home and makes the babies = woman look for rich man to take care of her and their offspring, while man should want a woman smart enough to raise the kids and take care of him and their home
according to all that - how much sense would it make for me to say, i want a poor man with good looks and a big d*** to stay home and be my slave while you want a dumb woman that stays on her back and knees for you???

They are both socially acceptable. A guy wants a pretty girl because he wants beautiful kids. A woman wants a rich man who can provide for her kids. But these days "shallowness" is a word that is basically thrown around by people who are upset that they aren't getting any. Or upset that they aren't getting what they want. If a person describes someone else as "shallow," they are also describing themselves as "bitter."
No double standard there :)

It's not a double standard. Wanting to date a successful person isn't necessarily shallow--unless you're a gold digger. I would not date a loser because I'm highly educated, and I have a career myself. So why would I be with someone who has not worked hard to attain a profitable career himself? Dating someone only for looks has nothing to do with lifetime happiness or compatibility.

the same way that a man is considered a stud when he has sexual intercourse with many women, but heaven forbid a woman is considered a s l u t
