Interesting is it not. Though I would want to know where this conclusion came from. I read an Article, or Blog if you will, about the opinions of a man, who he claimed was a psychologist. Didn't state facts, figures or sources, but what he said was interesting.
He stated that most women are not attracted to the physical part of a male, but to the materialistic part of him. The more "stuff" the man has, the more the woman would adore(love) him. He also stated that women generaly seek men who they feel can provide security and stability. After finding this good willed male, the female tends to become a tyrant as he put it. Demanding from her mate and denying him too. Slowly draining the life essence from his body. Thus he concluded that the reason women live longer than man is because they are Materialistic, Life Sucking Leeches.
What is your opinion?

I think this man has suffered at the hands of a woman and now assumes that this is how all women are as a form of self-protection.
Believe it or not, there are women out there who want to make their own way in the world rather than riding on the shoulders of some d!ck-toting idiot (he'd have to be and idiot to let someone "drain the life essence out him".
There are some women like that, but I would not generalize and say that all women are like that.

I think it's funny that this is how many men view women, yet they tend to choose the types of woman who is materialistic.
Everyone is materialistic to an extent. That guy was just burned by a romance and is bitter. If you ask anyone would they prefer someone they loved who could help them live a richer life or someone whom they also loved, but who was poor, the only person who would pick the poor one is someone who's never been poor. Who prefers the shack over the mansion? C'mon, be honest. What's more, I have worked hard for every single thing I have-I'm not going to apologize for a second for not wanting a man who can't make a decent living.

Some are, some aren't - just like everything in life. People are materialistic life sucking leeches. One of the most important things I look for in friends and in a mate is consumerism. Do you need to buy, buy, buy. Do you recycle? I am a bit turned off when people have a lot of things, it shows that they aren't really into anything deeper than how things appear to others.
I'd much rather someone be saving their money or silently donating it to chairities. I love humble generosity in a man. It is so necessary.
People ought to consider all aspects before marriage - look at the divorce rate. I bet finances or debt is at the top of the list of irreconsilable differences (money does matter), followed closely by infidelity (looks are more important than you thought). And I am pretty sure that both sexes are equally represented there in one way or another.

Well, women seem to look for security and safety after initial attraction. I think women are hardwired to find a mate that not only is aesthetically pleasing but one that is able to provide things from the environment ensuring the improved likelihood of survival...in contemporary society that turns out to be material goods.
Popular culture also shares a great deal of social training in this aspect. Pay close attention to what the television, radio and music is teaching our society.
Ultimately, women are being groomed into guzzlers of stuff and finery...
Please understand I am speaking in broad generalities...other women are solely driven by attraction and physical desire and some women are so emotionally closed and damaged they are barely functional within relationships and constantly create anxiety and drama resulting in toxic relations blamed on the males sexuality and harshness.
My wife is a lovely creature though...lol

I can see your point.
I am a woman who was recently divorced. My ex divorced me because after me paying our mortgage during our 8 years of marriage my dying mother needed help and I gave up my business to care for her. Therefore I could no longer pay the mortgage.
During our marriage I never complained if he bought motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles,..etc. even though I never purchaced myself or received new clothes.
I am very attractive and am pursued by men on a daily basis. However I picked a man with little money but treats me with the appreciation and respest my ex never gave me.
I even had a businessman worth 50 million dollars propose to me, but I declined.
In short, (though I'm not black and probably shouldn't have mentioned it); don't stereotype-every black person doesn't love watermelon. This type of thinking is poison and actually perpetuates the problem. Especially it will hurt you.

No doubt some women are too materialistic....but not all of us think and feel and act like that. There are many women who prize integrity and kindness in their men....and don't care whether he has alot of money or not....I know, because I am one of those women....I would rather a man be gentle and kind than rich. And that he have integrity....good character is priceless.

I think the tendency toward this is in all women...and in all men. It's called self-serving narcissism. It just happens to expose itself in our culture in many women in particular, repeated ways - thus it forms a pattern.
But to be fair, in men self-serving narcissism reveals itself in the :
- obsession with hobbies rather than cultivating a healthy marriage
- "where did he go?" syndrome - intense, meticulous courtship followed by brooding, moody indifference after she's committed to the relationship/marriage
- mid-life crises - fill in the blank - sports car, motorcycle, extreme sport hobby, affairs
Get the point? ALL human beings can be selfish, prideful, manipulative SOBs. One of the MANY differences between men and women is simply HOW this kind of character is exposed in real-life behavior.
Interesting question. Best to you.

The same men who catergorise women like these are suffering from rejection and relationship failure........A women will accept you according to what you have to offer. If you pretend to be very materially endowed, the lady will want as much as she sees you pretend to have acquired. Women want you(your aura), your attention, your words, your touch...BUT if you present other accessories, why not have an extra.....SO DO NOT MOAN, what you send out...comes back to you!
