In some ways, dating is like going on a house auction. Each person has some value. And everybody has an idea about how much he/she is worth. If you have a million dollars to spend, then you are looking for a house that is in your price category. You're not going to look for a house that's worth only $35,000. And you're not going to look for a house that's worth 2 million. So, we're not looking for people who we feel are out of our league. We're looking for people who are similar to us.



Dating is like going to house auctions. Many people show up. They throw out numbers. But unlike a house auction where the house does get sold, "houses" in the dating world never really get sold. After the highest bids are entered, a new person can always show up and put in an even higher bid so to speak. And this is what's killing the nerves... Just think about it. How many times have you started a conversation which started out great and then ended for no apparent reason. It happens...

In a house auction, the richest bidder can have the grandest house he can ever want. That is because a house does not have feelings.:peace:

Yes, I know, and when I am talking about riches, I don't mean physical wealth. "A million dollars" is just an expression I used to convey an idea. I know very well that a person's worth is not equal to the amount of money he/she has in the bank. A person's worth includes everything such as personality, attractiveness, charm, good health, family background, fame, and everything.

I know exactly what you meant, but thank you for pointing that out.=)



My only point in saying that is this: In dating, unlike in a house auction, a man may not necessarily have all that million dollar qualities relative to other men, but he still has the chance of being chosen by the woman. it's not just a question of who has that "million dollars", rather, it's about how the woman feels about him.=)



God bless you.=)

The richness in us men is how much genuine love do we have to give a woman.



I am not talking about feeling love but practical expressions of love lived out before her.



We as men fail to attract a good woman because we lack in this department of live out practical expressions of love and unless men evaluate their motives before God in the persuit of a woman and their ablily to win a womans heart in love they will remain the dollar bidder every time.

Dating has nothing common with an auction except one. For every object there will be always a buyer as for everyone will be always an interested one!

By an auction, the transaction right is given to the higher bidder by an authorized auctioneer, something that cannot happen by dating.

People are no more slaves without rights and nobody can decide for their own future except themselves.



Also the discussion about the value of a human compared not to labor but to happiness is disgusting. And that because

1rst, a woman in modern times lost her place to be a helper, and

2nd. a temporary happiness can lead to a disaster (divorce) that never get considered or calculated, what in addition get excused my most of the churches.



Thinking Biblical, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry, (Mat 19:10) what All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. (Mat 19:11).

Auction�I just watched an episode of WhiteCollar where gentlemen were auctioned off to wealthy women and I can�t imagine what a pitiful world those women are in if such an activity has some reality. Money cannot always buy happiness.

In some way yes, dating is like auction, one have to stay within her/his means if one can control to be always practical. But I think there are times that chances of seeing �the one� even if he/she happens to be above or below this �within ones means� will push one to pursue, well, if I were a man, I think I will just do that. Unlucky for me, I happen to be a woman and I believe it is against my dignity to pursue at this stage. Whereas in marriage a woman�s interest to pursue on making the bond stronger is I think more dignified.

I read in a profile here that states.. .�Falling in love is by chance, staying in love is by hard work, falling out of love is by choice.� � and I strongly agree. I am on here hoping to meet my chance.
