Well you got two options - stick with 2D/Candy Girls or go to Japan because there are a ton of women waiting for you and as you will discover - personality does not matter at all.
The screencaps above are from a TV program which went around Shibuya asking girls what they would rather choose - a really ugly guy with loadsa money or a really good looking poor guy. The word for "really ugly" is "Busaiku" [ブサイク].
But lets look at the ladies who do care if you are poor.
This woman below is a member of a Omiai club where she and other women get together with men - both sides looking for a partner. She says "I was horrified when I heard that he only earned 4,000,000 yen (39,662 USD) per annum.
So you see - does not matter if you don't have any personality - just as long as you are either good looking or has the monies.
It seems that many of you thought that the previous train crushing fetish was odd - y...(more)

When coming down to these two options, it gave me this thought: How many woman go for a guy who bankrupts himself to make himself look good? But before that, I wonder what will the result be if men are to choose between ugly/rich and beautiful/poor women?

D@mn... I wouldn't want to marry someone who just want the monies... I wish I could find someone who shares the same dream as I and has a great personality and average looking~

this world in reality, i must admit that often physical beauty is the first thing that will attract a person's interest...no doubt being beautiful give an edge at the beginning.. then when this settles, it will be the inner beauty (e.g character, behavior, attitude, kimochi, kokoro..bla bla bla) that set the reality then... then again beauty doesnt last forever... well all in all, if you already have someone please appreciate it...you wont know what you are missing until you lose it and for those still looking for the one, enjoy yourself in searching for it, the fun is the part when you are searching... hmm, its becoming a speech here.. well all in all, i think such things come in a big bundle, you can just judge it by a particular aspect such as wealth, or beauty or character, you have to judge it by the whole bundle...

These 3 women are laughable. Not only because they are money hunger mongers; those are everywhere. It's the fact their standards are so high for being such warpigs. They better be amazing in bed or something. Grab a glass of reality ladies. It's gonna be a long wait for you.
(ID #169662) Posted on 2008/04/12 17:32
harsh words FatB, harsh words, but i agree with you. they need to take a look in the mirror before making such statements. even if they did look good, i wouldn't want someone that shallow as a wife anyway.

lol. thats what i was thinking. they are not ugly, but they are not the prettiest women in the sea. if that photo was her then mabye it can be pulled of. but she has to settle for a lil less.

There is a reason those women are still looking lol.
(ID #169859) Posted on 2008/04/13 04:46
At this rate they will remain single and wait so long for the target they will get old and slowly wither away. Or that there are men that are really rich but forgot to buy a brain in the first place to get attracted by those money parasites.

money parasites... perfect words i must say... reality is harsh and fatb is just speaking the truth... obviously those 3 still have their heads stuck somewhere in wonderland...

why are you wasting money by buying them a mirror... You will get a broken mirror as soon as they look at themselves LOL!
(ID #170009) Posted on 2008/04/13 14:08
Now the world is a cruel cruel place... Whatever happened about a person on the inside then out. Whatever happen to a person's personality... The world is changing, in the wrong way... People are changing...ever so changing... Some for the good, some for the worst... Women that only cares about your money are the worst...
(ID #169665) Posted on 2008/04/12 17:41
Erm, they just asked about looks and money. They never mentioned anything about personality. Personally I go after personality over anything else, second would have to be looks. I don't think I've ever considered money as a priority when looking for a gf.
(ID #169667) Posted on 2008/04/12 17:48
Sigh... I just lost more faith in humanity, not that there was alot be begin with anyway.But, this is just sad. Whats more hilarious is the fact that those women arent even close to attractive! They must be parasite singles trying to avoid the pressures of marriage by having extreamely high standards! I feel bad for the men that marries them...
(ID #169668) Posted on 2008/04/12 17:52
This is rather saddening...Good looking or has the monies, that seems about right here in the US too. Money is always a good thing to have, because it will reduce the amount of stress you'll have in life (Don't have to worry about bills as much), and looks are something that only matter at first. If someone were to tell me that looks are the only thing that matters, I'd say they have very little experience with relationships, it does NOT work that way at all. You could have a gorgeous girlfriend, but one personality that is just so unbearable, you can't stand being around the person. Looks may be the first thing noticed, but personality always comes out on top in the end. It'd be interesting if the survey accounted for age groups. From my understanding from research on Japan in the past, the older women care more about status and money, while the younger generation more about money. Eventually the younger generation ends up being like the older generation and the cycle repeats. Really in the end, Japan in this respect doesn't seem that much different from the US. So I'd say people are better off trusting their instincts on this one. I'll also say, it's easy to say something like "I go for young and poor" or "I want someone with money", but I think in the end it really ends up with personality.
(ID #169669) Posted on 2008/04/12 17:52
Whoops, I made an error in my first one. I meant that the younger women care more about looks, not money. Danny still needs to add an edit button. xD

Hmm... if I was rich, I don't think I'd be with girls like those, lol. Money isn't really an issue for me, good looks are quite nice, but the most important thing is personality. If you can't stand someone, a long term relationship would be hell. So I guess if I were rich, it would be a long term relationship with a girl with a great personality, or a bunch of short term relationships with a bunch of good looking girlies.

i want a rich good looking gf that buys me everything lol

(ID #169717) Posted on 2008/04/12 20:00
Nah, ornehx meant that the usual stereotype is about good-looking rich men that buy stuff everytime their gfs/fiancees/wives, etc. have a whim of sort. I admit it was quite surprising to me as well that you said this line... So unconventional, to say the least.

Erm... I earn close to the $39kUSD mark, but no way on earth/hell I would chose any of the above girls, I would rather sleep happy at night than to have recurring nightmares. On a side note, I can see that single girls' clubs businesses will do very well in the foreseeable future.

Nice scheme imo, married to a rich wife beater then divorce him less than a year. Flow chart to get rich: 1. Marry rich wife beater 2. ??? 3. Profit!

Hahah. I laughed at those three girls. They're probably looking for someone who earns big so that they could go and take surgery to change their ugleh faces. wahahah
(ID #169708) Posted on 2008/04/12 19:45
Hah... What kind of joke is that? No seriously, I do despise that kind of woman who think they are some kind of princess or noble yet have nothing to begin with. They must be glad they are women or I would teach them how to be humble with some kick to the arse. And about the guys who do love being around them and don't care being considered as money providers alone... I pity them, I'd even say they are way to dumb to have fallen in such a deadly trap.
(ID #169710) Posted on 2008/04/12 19:47
*too dumb No really, what is about materialistic people? The day misfortune befalls on them, they will learn how harsh life can be... But it will be too late. Damage will already be done (they will only get what they have planted: rotten fruits from wicked seeds).

Well, if they enjoy being with old, rich, perverted guys, up to them.
(ID #169722) Posted on 2008/04/12 20:07
yes i understand how sad it is... sometimes its just not love that these young girls hooked up with them...well you guess it, its money but i dont think its always money as well.. you have understand that many come from poor broken families they needed attention and doesnt care from who it comes from also some may have a hard life when they were younger due to being poor..so they wanted/dream of a better life where they may be able to do better off and even help they poor parent even if that way is a shortcut with some old man...
(ID #169733) Posted on 2008/04/12 20:27
Yeah, it's a different case and it is always better than prostitution or slavery, but I'm sure there are better ways than that...
(ID #169736) Posted on 2008/04/12 20:35
but if u look at anywhere in the world, woman rather be with a successful man than a bum. money and power were part of attraction. If you are an Otaku, but u are good looking and have rockhard chest and sixpack, u can still get a lot girls...

Hold it guys, 40 is not old. ^^; I know a Chinese woman in her mid 20's and she is married to a guy who just turned 39. This is her second husband and she married him because mostly because he was a dependable man.
