Even in stories like Pretty Woman or whatever other stories,
it's not just about the guy being handsome or rich or whatever. It
was about the connection the people shared, the feelings they
have.
The character played by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman actually
loved the man, and not because he was rich or had a car or
whatever.
People lose sight of what it really is about in the first
place.
U need to get real and open your eyes to the real world.
first, that was a Hollywood movie, and isn't used as a basis or
reference for reality.
second, even using the plot of pretty woman, how do u know that
Robert's character didnt only fall for Gere's character because he
was successful and rich? remember she was a streetwalker, not even
a working class professional. Many many men, no need to be as
successful as Gere, would have been a pretty good catch for
her.
Whether in movies or real life, if the man met a woman while he
was still starting out and not so rich yet, and they go through
thick and thin, get married, blah blah, I'd agree that the woman
might not have let the guy's success and wealth colour her
perception of him when dating him if he turns out to be as rich as
Donald Trump 30 years later.
But if they met when the guy is already successful, of cos the
woman is tempted by that.
Of cos no woman will be so candid and honest and say I'm
attracted to his money/status/success. They'll just fall in 'love
with them'.
Maybe i'm one of the more cynical people around but i believe
that to be true for 99% of women.
