The Currency of Sex!
Until MENTAL MATURITY sets in, SEX is the currency for valuation of a Man's SELF WORTH...More Women..More Value!!...AGE is NOT the key component for MENTAL MATURITY...Men of all ages can be stuck in a state of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT...whereas, they want to stay at the stage of their lives where they mattered most or viewed themselves the best...typically determined by the stage where they were able to get the most SEX!

You know I gotta be the first one to post something... lol.
ReplyDeleteAll I got to say is that right about now, we seem to agree more than we disagree... *wink*
Lish.
Things to think about: If men value themselves by the number of women they can get...what is the typically currency for women's valuation?
ReplyDeleteKeeping with your financial analogy, how do men 'value' women?
Is there a currency exchange market for self worth AND for women?
Do women and men obey the laws of supply and demand?
Great questions Ms. Hill! I can answer the questions regarding women only from a what I believe standpoint since I am obviously not a woman.
ReplyDeleteI think that a woman's currency at this stage is the TIME that they have been in a relationship with a man. The most happy women I have been around are one's that have a perceived stable relationship. They sing the praises of their MATE to anyone who will listen.
Even women who have a man by "title only" still will let it be known to any potential suitors how long they have been with their mate....ie..."He's mine...you may have had him once but I got him all the time" song. Unfortunately, this is a reality.
As far as how men value women...it varies!! I think you have inspired my next blog...I will touch on that.
As far as laws of supply and demand... I think until mental maturity... Men follow the laws of supply and demand to the fullest. Most women, I believe, will not because of society's heavy double standard around multiple partners.
Okay, you know I'm loving this discussion! Good job Ms. Hill on very thought-provoking questions!
ReplyDeleteWHAT IS WOMEN'S RELATIONSHIP CURRENCY?
I agree with Mauzy...Women tend to value their relationships by either time spent or (for young/immature) the baubles they receive. "Girl, he bought me a chinchilla coat!" More mature women feel "rich" in a relationship when it provides, stability, security, fidelity and honesty.
HOW DO MEN VALUE WOMEN?
Rah, it's funny that you brought up the economic argument b/c I think the current dynamics of male/female relationships look more like the "Scarcity Principle" than a true supply/demand curve. The Scarcity Principle being: "something in abundant supply is not valued." This is a sweeping generalization, I know, but I think the average man sees women as a commodity. It only becomes more competitive when men are looking for "special women" -- a woman they can truly call "wife" material. But for those men not ready to settle down, I don't know if I think they see a woman's worth.
SUPPLY V. DEMAND (the woman's perspective)
I don't know if the market forces work the same way for women in relationships as they do in economics. The reason is not (as Mauzy suggests) that women are too afraid of the double standard to seek multiple parties. I believe that most women's demand for men is constant, meaning no matter what the availabilty of men, we're always looking for just one good one. In the current market forces we're being pressured to choose not-so-good ones, but we're still just looking for one.
Ladonna... another great post. Scarcity Principle is definitely on point and something that I hadn't thought of for a woman's point of view. This conversation is awesome. This is the very reason I created this blog. I don't know everything...these are my views but I am willing to listen to others and learn.
