I mean they want nice things, but they are attracted to women who seem smart enough to provide those things for them by the woman using her intellect and corporate abilities.

Well that didn't sound good at all, and I am sure those guys will find a hard finding a proper partner that way.

But as I get older, I become more interested in someone who knows how to savor the sweetness of life, which is always found in the now, not future oriented seeking.

It makes sense, there will come a time when we realize if we keep thinking about the future our life will pass without actually living in the present, and suddenly, we are already old people. Planning for the future is important, as is living and enjoying the present.

We aren't the same person with everyone! We change in relationship to who someone else is being with us. We grow with people

I totally agree with this, we live in constant change, a permanent growing, so our tastes and even our skills can be different over time.

It might have been indeed simpler back then, but now I think our world is much much better, even if there are serious problems of course.

Thanks for such a good comment @indigoocean!

Cheers!
