Aside from the smacking around, which I agree that any self respecting woman will have none of... most of your sediment is rooted in simple biological imperatives. Women are attracted to money and "power" as it will provide the most stable environment for child rearing.
If this were a board of women, this would be a thread about how men only chase beautiful, passive, young women.. because it's true. Our biological imperative tells us to impregnate as many genetically superior females as possible.
The nice thing about being a man is that you have full control of your wealth and power.... women can only do so much to modify beauty.
This is the game. You either recognize it, embrace it, and play along... Or you sit on the sidelines and complain about it while those that do get laid.
