Women from all races want to bang rich, successful guys. I find it merely curious (and a good reason to build sex robots, so average guys can enjoy the same pleasures as rich guys). Latest example: did you catch Howard Stern's interview on (US TV show) 60 Minutes? They showed a picture of Howard's ex-wife (divorced a few years ago after 20 years of marriage), and then they interviewed Howard and his new fashion-model girlfriend. Who, I should say, exemplifies the Aryan ideal of beauty in spades (to mix metaphors a bit).

If the world's most beautiful women want to be gold-diggers, that's their right. It doesn't "humiliate" me. It merely establishes what I would have to obtain (namely, wealth and fame) if I wanted to bang some of those women. The actual women, that is. Technology may provide an easier alternative. And a more intellectually satisfying alternative too.

It's interesting to consider which gender's ideal can be realized first with technology. It should be a lot easier for technology to simulate Howard Stern's girlfriend (for the satisfaction of men) than for technology to simulate Howard Stern (for the satisfaction of women). With Howard Stern, the salient feature is the success, and the relative status. If every man had a $500 million satellite radio contract, they would all be merely average again in the eyes of women. (Consider that the average US working stiff is fantastically wealthy in Medieval terms, but modern US women have simply raised their materialistic requirements commensurately.)

With Howard Stern's girlfriend, the salient features are absolute: her looks and her receptive behavior. If every woman looked similarly good, and behaved as adoringly toward the average working stiff, they would still look good. (A man can test this hypothesis by viewing photographs of thousands of attractive women. Even after massive, pervasive exposure, they still look good. In fact, pornography can be understood as an attempt by men to democratize the experience of enjoying beautiful women. So far, technology hasn't been up to the task---actual beautiful women are still better---but technology will keep improving.)

I think it is technologically possible for all men to be satisfied, but satisfying all women would be much harder, because satisfaction for women depends more on out-competing other women for some tiny percentage of men who are judged to be the most successful by the criteria du jour. That is, maximum satisfaction for a woman is not just a function of what she has, but of what she can prevent other women from having. That is what the stereotypical female lust to monopolize successful men represents. It's not necessarily a woman's conscious plan to thwart her competitors, but her emotional brain is wired up to drive her to do exactly that.

True, a man might derive some pleasure by twitting loserguys with his trophy woman, but I think most guys would be happy to lose that small pleasure in exchange for not having to deal with any more competition. Consider: when men look at porn, they rarely try to prevent other men from looking at more copies of it. The fact that simulacra are copyable means we can make the pie bigger. A lot bigger.
