I know, right. If I'm honest with a woman about my "average" salary, or sees me drive a pos car, she will never give me a chance to say Hi.

or Bahhhstahhhn if you prefer.
so going soley by this article and topic of op i can kind of see how if this case goes forward and she wins some males in the uk may be wary of marrying if it can cost them 20 years after divorcing some one
Mr Vince left school at 15 and was part of a ‘Peace Convoy’ of hippies travelling around southwest England in the 1980s. The pair married in 1981 when they were both penniless travellers, living largely on state benefits. After their divorce in 1992, Mr Vince lived in an old ambulance he powered with a home-made wind turbine made from recycled materials. A strict vegan with shaggy hair and an earring, he was described in the Court of Appeal as ‘the most improbable candidate for affluence’. But in 1995, Mr Vince founded Ecotricity, which is now one of the UK’s biggest green energy companies and led to him being awarded OBE in 2004. Now worth an estimated £107 million, he owns a sports car and lives in the £3million 18th century Rodborough Fort, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, with his new wife and their five-year-old son.

What I find interesting about the entire thread and all the responses is the fact that people are laughing, mocking and making fun of each other, in a passively degrading manner.
Things tend to be funny when everyone is on-board and able to enjoy the humor, otherwise it's better to take the high road.
Perhaps this is the reason that neither side can understand, or even get along with each other these days?
A word that comes to mind is narcissism.
Peace,

Nah. I'm just a curmudgeon. I make fun of everyone because I don't like anyone. I don't even much like me, and I'm the finest fella I know!

Unfortunately, I read a recent study that states that violent gaming leads to more violence, not less.

Yet I am sure you would not turn down a woman because she was overweight or unattractive, or was somehow different. Because it goes both ways, you know.
How many guys I hear bitching about women only wanting them for their money. Yet one needs only to take a look at the "women" they speak of, and it makes sense. It's because they are all chasing after more trophy material than substance. In turn, girls with below average looks but above average minds or personalities will get treated terribly, or used and dumped for what is perceived as better.
On the other hand, if women aren't giving you the time of day, perhaps its because you don't gave anything to offer in return, if all you consider is your car and income. Poorer men than you still manage to hook up without issue. And richer men than you sitting in the den of their empty house desperately browsing mail order brides because despite having and making a lot of money, beyond hookers, they can't get women interested for long.
Obviously, something more than money is at play here.
