Why do people date

Throughout my entire life (so far) I've never understood the allure of dating. All the good-looking women are "gold diggers" studying political science at the community college, good for a night or two, so why do people choose to make the long term committment? If I had to choose one female to "date," it would probably be someone from my own family. Smart, hardworking, not poor, good communication/understanding etc.

"michigan10483" If I had to choose one female to "date," it would probably be someone from my own family.

Is that how they do it in Michigan?

Eventually you get tired of one night stands, and go looking for someone that you can stand in the morning while hung over too. Even if you don't get to that point, at some point your buddies start to, and peer pressure kicks in.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

Gold diggers don't go to community college and I don't think even they would dig your incest fetish.

 

Depends on where in the Sahara we're talking. Egyptians pack it light but the god damn Sudanese could go dick for dick with Rasputin any day of the weak.
