Yeap, that's it.

To me, Graf's reaction paints her in good light.

While it wasn't that witty of a retort (totally not worthy of the sycophantic uproar from the crowd), it showed aplomb in at least having a laugh in the midst of a tennis match, a very mental game.

I couldn't imagine someone like Sharapova being anything other than a sourpuss about it. But then again, Sharapova is like a standard deviation more attractive.

Although I suppose it says something about the state of modern Western women when merely not being a cunt is worthy of commendation.

When guys think of money - we think of quitting our job, buying cool cars, swimming pools, holidays, hookers, drugs, alcohol, gadgets, clothes, top sporting events, maybe starting up a cool business etc.

When women think of money - they ultimately are thinking of security for their children.

So - money means something different to women that it does to men.

Indeed - most of the things women want to spend money on is ultimately in the cause of trying to atract the best mate possible.

So - even when they spend it on themselves it is ultimately as a proxy towards ensuring success for their children.

So - in an evolutionary sense. Women are attracted to money in the same way men are attracted to beauty. And for the same reasons (giving your future children the best chance of success as possible).

Therefore - I think we should be a little easier on women as regards money since they don't want it for the same reason we do.

I'd like to believe that, and I'm sure a lot of women do genuinely have that as their main concern, but I've seen plenty of examples of girls using child maintenance money to spend lavishly on themselves.

I'm talking about people I know, and people who know others that have shown me examples.

If you look at some of the celebrity divorces, women trying to squeeze every million out of their husbands that they can certainly isn't for their children.

As for the video, I thought it was quite funny.

But how do shoes fit into this equation?

Definitely not true from my experience.
The women I know, single/childless or not, spend way more money on way stupider shit than the men I know, on average.

This is a lie. As MattC said, I regularly see women go out and blow their government cheques on booze/drugs and plenty of other stupid shit
