7k salary or Woman of Dreams
I am interested to know what area most people are most materealistic in. If you had the choice between having any number and choice of women and having all the wealth you wanted and all the power you wanted, what would you choose?

Call me cynical but those go hand in hand with having any number and choice of women...

If you have money, you have chicks. Call me macho, but high-school proved my theory right very well....

I will also have to say I stick with my women. If I have no money I still have my wife. If I have no wife and my money fries up, you loose all your friends anyway cause they where there only FOR THE MONEY!!
Stick to your friends, money never lasts!

They say that money can't buy you happiness/love, but as someone in my late 30's working between 50 and 60 hour's a week,
I'd agree with the sentiment, but money go's a long way to help
So i'd go for the money - lot's of it, then at least my own personal financial pressures have gone and after I've worked out how much I'd need to give me a comfortable standard of living, I'd sit back pick my personal "soap box charities" and give the rest to them!
regards
John

In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the woman.

The women who are worth having around are not interested in the money... those that come with the money will surely leave with it too. I'd take just the one woman.

But even in the best scenarios a woman can still leave you, for another man or just because relationships get strained. A woman leaving you is something you don't have complete control over so I would go with the money because if you lose it then at least it lies soley on your shoulders. And as long as you do have the money you will have a woman. It may even be that a woman who loves you for your money may be easier to get along with because people that love money that much will do alomost anything for it and so she will not be as likely to argue with you as people in normal relationships sometimes do. After being married for awhile now I don't know that I would mind a woman being nice to me for my money as long she is nice.
On a side note if you have a 7k salary I don't thnk you need to worry about her being there for the money.

I think that after being in a unstable relationship with a woman for over a year that love overcomes the need to sleep with many women. As for money and power, my life revolves around getting richer than Bill Gates and more Powerfull than god, but if you want a woman to love you for who you are, turn up on a first date in a Woolworths suit and just enough money for a meal and money for a cab ride home. Never reveal your worth. I have 40k in a foreign account and an inheritance of a 130 acre mansion in france, but my girlfriend of over one year thinks that I am a broke IT Engineer taking on a £400 a week contract, till I can become a Sys Admin experienced with Cisco systems.
To know how loved ones feel about you, you must play the pessimistic worm, untill you are sure of how they feel about you.
I go for money and power. As for a 100 women at a time. including my gf, when I get to Valhuram. As for the 7k, it was meant to be 700k.
