[extropy-chat] Who is really the dominant gender?

[Olga Bourlin]

From: Ned Late 

> Come to think of it, the women in my family frequently say "a woman should not be judged by her looks", but then they drool over a photo of Ashton Kutcher. I mean, Kutcher isn't a success due to his engineering abilities, is he?

I would be more impressed if you had said the women in your family drooled over the cute janitor or the handsome gardener or the beauteous carpenter.  Looks certainly count (you'll never catch me saying they don't), but when it comes to men - money and success and celebrity have a way of compensating for being rather plain or downright ugly or even sickly.

If Kutcher has some bucks and celebrity - AND looks ... well, I'm totally not surprised.  

It just seems, however - in a broad sense, of course - that even these days men are more willing to buy, and women are more willing to sell (themselves).  Guns and butter and all that, but NOT good economics in MY book.

But, then, who am I?  I don't even know who Ashton Kutcher is.
