I believe that the gist of what this article spoke about is true. 
BUT, I must take what Edwin quoted with a grain of salt, many of my
friends, including me, do not look for status in a man.  At least to me,
I am looking for someone who has a lifestyle similar to mine.  I do agree
though that I, as much as the next girl, appreciate a good looking guy.  
In several instances I found that these men tend to have problems with   
their ego and that turns off any girl.

This article is very good!  I would like some feedback also on my beliefs on
types of girls.  I recently had a conversation with a man, who beleived 
that there were only three types of women: ugly, pretty and nice, and 
boy-toys.  He believed that the ideal female mate is the pretty and nice, 
whereas the uglies are rejected and the boy-toys are there only for the fun.
I understand that this may be true, but I hope that men and women aren't
necessarily ruled by what society proscribes.  The idea of prettiness is
exactly that, society tells us whether someone is pretty or not and
regardless of their personality, they are forever labelled.  So what do you 
think about what I have said??????
