Power and the Ladies

A good sense of humour, good eyes, and a sweet personality is the old 1, 2, 3 of what women want in men.

But is that all they really  want?

Seems women want money more than the men that make it, and this has brought about the term; gold –diggers, heck there is so many even Kanye West wrote a song about them.

Over the years we have seen the late Anna Nicole Smith marry and 80 year old... who happened to be loaded, with money and not much else.  As well we have also seen in Australia, our own doctor Geoffrey Edelstein marry the 20 something American called Brynne whose voice sounds awfully like Disney’s own Chip and Dale chipmunks.

But through all these marriages the one who epitomises the cradle snatching the most, almost elevating his actions to mythical status is the one, the only, the silk Pyjama wearing Hugh Hefner whose recent engagement to bunny Crystal Harris went pear shaped before the wedding causing there to be no wedding at all.

So what matters more to women, good humour, or the humour of having plenty of money and being set up for life?

One thing that attracts women is power, ah yes, the elusive trait of power.

After all, it must be what attracts these women to these men old enough to be their grandfathers. In what are oddball combinations power must be the rational explanation.

If it is then it would explain the “scented letters” that go to Wiki-Leaks founder Julian Assange’s bail house. According to his safe-keeper, plenty of mail has come for the embattled whistleblower and most of which has come from the opposite sex.

As well as these letters, groupies, and female communes of eastern Europe have also set up camp near the mansion where Assange is currently placed.

He isn’t the most attractive of men, but that isn’t his is occupation no, it is to make government and political institutions to be more transparent, and in doing so here lies the power that women around the world are gushing over.

Power; it does funny things to women.
