They are interchangable to a certain extent.
you can make money by looking good, and you can improve your looks if you can afford it.

As the saying goes, "I wish I was born rich, instead of good looking."
Didn't anyone ever tell you that everyone with money is good looking?
Well, except Jay-Z.

as long as i was smart, either would suffice 
I used to be good looking. What did that get me?
Oh yeah, a hot wife. lol. Well, now the looks are fading and I STILL have no money. Let that be a lesson to you guys.
What that lesson is, I have no idea.

Bro- Same here, I got a hot wife too, but now my hair is going, and I figure it only gets worse from here...
But isn't it a cool feeling to know your wife is hot.... And most likely your kids will be good looking adults....
It could be worse, you could have no money AND be some fugly peeps....
Becoming said:
lol I feel the same way. I got a great kid (don`t ask FromZ though) lol jk bro. It`s the hair bro, it`s the hair. damn it....

Likewise... I'm not God's greatest gift to man but I'm glad I have two great looking parents who gave me the looks that I do have, not to metion a BRAIN! As for money - still working on that as well...earning it is so much more rewarding!superqt4u2nv said:

Thanks for some common sense mang.
Good looking? WTF? What does that get you? I am very attractive, it never got me SHIT, except for maybe a few skanks in bars at FSU or Panama City.
Big freaking deal.
People are nuts...TAKE THE CASH. Always. Take. the. cash.

I could see why you would disagree, but most chicks here show T or A...Velvy's avatar is perfect-just the chin and some of the lips...it's all you need. A respectable avatar--she is marriage material....And before you reply-I can see why you would also disagree with that statement as well....

lol
i think velvett is a cool chick....she's kind of twisted, and I like that. i am just really curious to see what she looks like
Rich
Most other chicks here, you would just bang once or twice...not her..she is a keeper...
jerkbox said:
Just from the little that she shows I can tell she is a looker.
Velvett, That line that goes straight down your neck in your avatar, is very attractive. Good choice of pics.
Having said that, it`s not all about the looks, though.

You gots to know how to talk to the hunnys playa....I actually have been on the boards since 1997..I stopped coming around about a year ago and rejoined a few weeks ago....I have seen the pics and they are nice....Believe that Philly bro....And I take Visa and MasterCard if you are interested...
jerkbox said:
it will get them alot- but people won't like it... (ie- they wil get laid, but the chick won't neccessarily like it)
people like good looking peeps more than ugly peeps... it is a proven psychological phenomenon
i just want the cash cause the grass is always greener (not that I am a supermodel or anything)

No doubt but in many cases, this is true. What can good looks possibly bring you?
Money (better job etc. etc.)
Popularity
Women
among others
Which of these things will you not get if you're rich? Possibly popularity but I tend to see money buying friends too....

I've never been interested in a guy for his money. I see it as a bonus that really doesn't effect how I feel about him one way or the other. I'm more interested in personality, looks, whether he is motivated and goal oriented, values, if he can make me laugh, etc.
I'm sure I could go out and find some sugar daddy if I wanted to, but I can't be bothered with some guy just for his wallet. I'd rather just fall in love with whoever it is I'm supposed to fall in love with.

I AM rich-looking,
everybody always assumes im loaded as hell.
in reality im a student and my father is on disability
i'd rather be good looking.
wealth can always be aquired.
if you just plain ugly, plastic surgery isn't gonna make you beautiful. I take pride in my looks.
and I'm glad I wasn't born rich......growing up dirt poor taught me many lessons and built a lot of character.

The devil's advocate has arrived. Ready?
Always? then why isn't everyone rich? Why aren;t you? I'm sure you're 'working on it', right?
That's because looks are all you've got. The two are not mutually exclusive; most rich people are attractive.
Yep, and now you have to spend your time acquiring, when you could be doing things with the money.
Where;s the character in that?

Most rich people are attractive is a totally weird statement. Looking on the Quote list of 500 richest people in Holland, the pictures show some very ugly people too.
Always? then why isn't everyone rich? Why aren;t you? I'm sure you're 'working on it', right?
not really....i'm working on being happy. which I don't define as being wealthy. but, i have acquired some wealth as compared to where I started.
That's because looks are all you've got. The two are not mutually exclusive; most rich people are attractive.
you have no idea what i've got.
Yep, and now you have to spend your time acquiring, when you could be doing things with the money.
again, not spending my time acquiring, trying to spend my time living life the way I want to. anything can be achieved in my mind. if financial wealth was my priority, I would achieve it.
Where;s the character in that?
it has made me appreciate the things I do have, and made me realize that money isn't really shit anyway....it certainly isn't everything. but for some people, it is all they have, and I don't envy them.
....and the devil's advocate has left the building
cya!

hm I dont know about that. Its illegal to take any pictures or video of his home, security reasons.
so how do you know he lives modestly? A journalist from Holland visited him at home once and sayd it was a very grotesque and luxurious unique building
Becoming said:
He lives in an 88,000 square foot castle.
He has a history of taking cars out late late at night and speeding 160, 180 etc.
And *allegedly* there were parties, strippers all that sh*t at his places before he got married. Microsoft people who have been there a long time don't talk....but sometimes bits and pieces leak out, if you find ones who have left the company.
Anyway....as far as the "attractive" comment, I just meant that rich people have straight teeth, clear skin, freshly manicured, hair is perfect etc. You rarely see "ugly" rich people.

There are some celebs that have some millions not billions like these guys, and totally neglect their bodies.
funny how all 3 of these guys make movies. youd say they are more aware of the power of looks.

What makes you think you know what he (or anyone else) has or doesn't have?
Nobody said good looks and wealth were mutually exclusive. However, I can tell you that I know plenty of extremely wealthy, ugly people.
MattTheSkywalker said:
This doesn't even make sense... There's plenty of character in spending your time acquiring. It's good for people to have to do things on their own and not have everything handed to them. If you build your financial situation from nothing to well off on your own it shows motivation and direction... instead of being handed tons of money from the time you can walk.
I know many people from different backgrounds (born rich, born poor and born average). It has been my experience that those born rich are spoiled brats that have no idea how to work or how to be responsible for themselves. I'm not saying that this is always the case or that non-wealthy people can't be spoiled brats too...
I think character is based on "how" you go about using or acquiring your wealth; not on the ability to spend your time using it or getting it.

I agree with all this- but that being said - I would love to win the lotto one day....
There are lots of nice things I would like to do for people (mostly charity humanitarian type stuff) that I don't see myself ever having the means to do otherwise...

I think the best thing money can buy is TIME, free time. When you`re not a slave to the clock, you are rich.
Please don`t give me "homeless people are`nt ...", you know what I mean.

Um, he said so in his post. Exact words were "i have acquired some wealth as compared to where I started." Regardless, I was being the *devil's advocate* in that post, as I told him.....because I wanted to understand why he felt the way he did.
You took me out of context...no biggie, but since you wanted to butt into our coversation, I'll have some fun with you too...
If you know all these 'extremely wealthy' people, why are you not doing the things they do? Why aren't they helping you out? Why were you stressing over something like a job a few months ago? The rich people I "know", actually helped me to get to this point. If you know all these people, why didn't you ask them to help you with a job? or to help you out with other stuff? Perhaps you don't know them as well as you think you do?
I spent much time acquiring enough to retire if I want, and all that has happened is I hate everyone except rich and poor people. Maybe I 'acquired' too fast; there was a large degree of luck involved. Maybe I got the wrong character. Maybe 'it builds character' is one of those idiotic lines people say when they don't want to say It really fucking sucks but you have no choice so just fucking do it
They probably think you're boorish. So what? Their feelings and yours are just opinions, right?
And that 'character' again...leave him at home next time.
