Keeping up with the lingo
I think that the term "Gold-digger" is obsolete. It should be replaced with a more subtle, unselfish, but still misguided term that describes ladies who are extra thirsty for a guy because of extrinsic traits like education, money, religious beliefs, family name, etc. Those things have value of course, but alone they are worthless. For example, it's date number two! I don't know you; and you don't know me! Any guy with half a brain can notice a strategy like this; so if these concerns are not brought to your attention, you are either pursuing an idiot, or you are being taken advantage of. People need to evaluate if they like somebody before betting their entire hand based on what "spouse material" is, what you can accomplish financially together, or the flawed presumption of how a great relationship with God automatically equals a great relationship with you, etc.

Please remember that the term "gold-diggers" should not be attached to a specific gender. MEN are also gold-diggers, and in some parts of the country they are "gold-diggers" MORE than women.
Very true V. I leave that for women to debate on. This post wasn't meant for the ruthless and selfish traditional gold digger, just women (and men as you point out) who latch on to the opposite sex based on scarce attributes instead of chemistry, experience, and unbiased affection. For example, a woman is head over heels for a guy who she only talked to once b/c he is an attorney, church youth minister, and comes from a lineage of professionals. Yes dudes do the same thing. Like I mentioned, these things have their place, but in my opinion they should merely be "extras".
