Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

What you're not understanding is this:

Money will only trigger some women... some women will respond to his intelligence... some will respond to his physique... some will respond to the way he smells... or the way he looks... or how educated he is... or what his job is... or how powerful he is... or how old he is... or how tall he is... or how closely he resembles her father... or how he has sex with her... and so on and so forth.  Just as with men, women are not all alike.  They all have different specific experiences and beliefs and personalities and physiologies and triggers.  Also, N=1 means nothing.  Knowing "a guy who" is statistically meaningless.  You can't draw a conclusion about all women (or all men) from that.

What I am saying is that if you're having that response, then some part of ou at a subconscious level believes that money and success is a way to be more sexually attractive to women.  And with regard to the women who are triggered by those things, that is correct.  But that is not all women.

However, ALL women will respond to one thing, and that is a man who can make her feel SECURE.  And guess what kind of man makes all women feel secure?  A wealthy and successful one.  So I'd say you're on the right track. 

I would argue that women feel secure around men that feel secure within himself. And most men relate feeling secure with being financially successful. If you however are able to feel secure within yourself from other sources, women will feel secure around you as well.

A woman's desire for security boils down to basic survival instincts.  She wants to know she's going to be safe with this man, and if she gets pregnant that he can and will feed and defend her and the baby if need be.  Shelter, food, etc.  It's not that women are helpless, but that they're human, and humans still have these worries deep down.  Women these days can make it on their own, but her primal brain is still doing what it's done to help her stay alive for the last 250,000 years regardless.

A man who is secure in himself does not guarantee to her lizard brain that she'll be fed, or kept, or protected or that he'll protect her kid with him.  It's a piece of the puzzle, but not the key. 

This is why women respond so strongly to Wealth, Power and Fame.  Those things most accurately point to... he can and will take care of me and the baby, he can and will defend me and the baby, he can and will feed me and the baby.  Again, this is not the neo-cortex we are dealing with here, it's the brain stem.
