Women will always be first priority in a consumer based society. By themselves, men don't spend unless whatever they are buying has purpose or it's a great deal/investment. That is...until woman enters the picture
Retail store or shopping mall, vast differences in clothing sections and advertisements aimed at persuasion and manipulation. Ironic, the manipulators are the most manipulated. You can make the woman want anything if it:
A) Shines
B) Gives off a sense of high value or is validating (insecure people need validation)
C) Makes them feel good
Men are in denial of women, at least at first. Like a cat, she will 9 times out of 10, chase that string. Therefore, no amount of reasoning will help in her decision. Reasoning is a barrier. All reasoning is thrown away. If you let a women know that two items are manufactured in the same facility and the only differences is really the name, but they look alike, she'll go with the one that has been more spit shined. Every. Single. Time. Even if it is damaging to her or the returns are diminishing, she will still choose A, B, or C. After reading the story of Eve biting the apple, you thought "How could Eve be so stupid"...well, stupidity does not exist to woman if A, B, or C is met. She will seriously think of taking a dump on her chest if it means a lavish lifestyle (Dubai porta potties)
No religion or belief system can alter this behavior but only the men who put their foot on the neck of it by rude display of consequence. She believe in God? Pfft, she believes more in that Mercedes, BMW, lulu lemon yoga pants, and diamonds. Diamonds are forever, not a diamond is forever. More and more diamonds. Out of all the colors in the sky, she has green on her mind. God to woman is only an abstract being meant to give them what they want. She's even entitled to God's forgiveness how about that. I won't even get started on the modern church.
Doesn't matter where she comes from. Whatever it may be, she wants the best of it. Trailer park, suburbs, apartment in midtown/downtown, or a million dollar mansion. She is willing to trade up anything even dignity. No matter the debt or bankruptcies financially or morally
