In reply to the discussion: Will men ever start seeing woman as people first, sex objects last? [View all]pipi_k
(21,020 posts)overnight, I remembered a little social experiment I saw on TV some time back which would beg the question, "Will women ever stop seeing men as studly trophies first, and people last?"
So, the basics of the experiment...
A nice, fairly attractive man goes into a bar (no, it's not a joke). Outside the bar his used car is parked on the curb. He's dressed modestly in jeans and shirt, sneakers, with a normal-guy haircut. Everyday Joe, albeit neat and clean. Then he tries chatting up the ladies, some of whom don't respond, and others who turn him down with one of those fake smiles. He strikes out totally.
He leaves the bar, comes back a bit later with a rather expensive car, dressed to kill in a suit, expensive shoes, expensive haircut, and sporting a Rolex. Again he tries chatting up the ladies, and they are all over him like flies on shit.
Same guy. Different package.
I guess one would be tempted to call these women shallow assholes, but biology says otherwise. They are only following the instinctual drive to find the best provider for themselves and any potential children they might have. Self protection isn't an asshole trait, and neither is men seeing women as sexual beings/objects first, people second.
