Thinking of this, Niu Tiangou suddenly thought of a joke told by his colleagues, saying that a poor old man had asked for marriage many times, because he told the truth when introducing himself, and as a result, even an old lady in her 60s was unwilling to meet him.

In a fit of anger, the old man posted such a marriage advertisement through the media:

"I, two out of fifty, a private business owner, have a house, a car, and am looking for a young and beautiful woman under the age of 30, with a bachelor's degree or above."

As a result, in less than three days, more than 300 people applied, and all of them were young and beautiful women with high academic qualifications.

Later, the women who applied for the recruitment learned that the old man's so-called "private business owner" was a steamed bread seller, the so-called "Youfang" was a dilapidated small façade house of more than ten square meters that he rented, and the so-called "Youche" was a dilapidated tricycle he used to deliver steamed buns.

In addition to the real age, the other content in the old man's marriage advertisement is false!

In the end, almost all the women who applied for the recruitment scolded the old man for being a liar, but the old man said helplessly, I am not wrong at all, who told you to think of private owners as rich bosses, houses as villas, and cars as BMWs, this is all to blame for your material ** is too high, can you blame me......

These are all caused by material things, money and wealth, and they are all caused by "favoring material things".

Although this is a joke, it is a true portrayal of the current situation of marriage and love.

Yes, that old man is a bit of a "prank", but you can't blame the old man entirely, if you want to blame, you can only blame this society where money is omnipotent and materialistic desires distort people's view of marriage and love.

The preference for material things is so cruel that it affects and changes people's outlook on marriage and love - as long as there is money, height is not distance, appearance is not an obstacle, and age is not a problem. After all, poor couples mourn everything, and running around for a living will greatly exhaust people's love and patience, since love can't be eaten, and marriage is not guaranteed to grow old, it's better to find a rich man from the beginning, and living with a man who has nothing can only be "rain heartbreak, wind tears"......

Preference for material things is the mainstream of marriage and love in the world. In a commodity economy society, marriage and love have been commoditized, feelings are in a secondary position, and money and wealth are God, the Queen Mother, Avalokiteshvara, and Allah Almighty.

With God and the Queen Mother, erotic love comes naturally; With Avalokiteshvara and Allah the Almighty, feelings are natural.

Because--all the so-called glamorous lovers and lovers in the world all originate from conditions, and money and wealth in the eyes of women who prefer material things, that is the biggest and most attractive condition in the world, people live a lifetime, isn't it just for money?

The root of the preference for material things comes from poverty, from the gap between the rich and the poor in society.

Perhaps, one day in the future, when the material wealth of our society will be greatly enriched, the welfare and insurance industries will be developed, and people will be more fully guaranteed in terms of employment, housing, medical care, pension, and children's education, and when there will be no worries about life, the quality of marriage in the whole society will be improved, and people will change their preference for material things to preference for spirituality, and material love to spiritual love.

"What about the third category?" After being stunned for a while, Niu Tiangou continued to ask.

"The third type is the preference for the spiritual type, which is the spiritual love, and this type is the glamorous 'soul' type.

"In the erotic love in the world, some people prefer appearance, most women prefer materialism, and some people prefer spirituality - or prefer each other's diplomas and knowledge, or prefer each other's character and temperament, or prefer each other's talent and fame (especially those talented women), or prefer each other's specialties and skills, or prefer each other's special spiritual conditions - family status and power.

For example, some girls prefer the man's high diploma and high education, and they value his high-level culture and knowledge.

"Some girls prefer the good character and character of the man, and they like him to be loving, filial, gentle and considerate, and tolerant, in front of such a girl, even if the young man who is not good-hearted, violent in temperament, vulgar in language, and narrow-minded, even if he is rich, she will not envy;

"Some girls prefer the man's firm self-confidence, modesty and studiousness, manners, elegance, profound knowledge, and extraordinary conversation, and what she likes is his high-grade temperament and cultivation.

"Some girls prefer film and television, science and technology stars, what they fancy is his talent and fame, in front of such a girl, even if the mediocre young man has a good family background, she will not pay attention to it;

"Some girls prefer young men who know martial arts or have skills, and what they value is his specialties and skills, in front of such girls, even if a young man with no strengths is as handsome as the best, she will not consider it;

"There are even girls who prefer the power of the man's family or the power of the man, and what they fancy is the status and power of the man's family and the power and position of the society or the man's individual.

Speaking of this, Uncle Duo Niu Xing looked at Niu Tiangou and smiled, and then said: "Some young men also prefer the spiritual conditions of women. You didn't choose the tall Qin Xianglian and finally chose Teresa Teng, who is only 1.57 meters tall, don't you also prefer her innocent and lively personality? Of course, the age advantage is also an aspect, and she chose you instead of a tall and materially good young man, but also preferred your career, stable income and knowledge level. ”

"That'...... Why do girls have these preferences? Hearing this, Niu Tiangou couldn't help but ask.

Uncle Taurus pondered for a while and replied, "It may be related to people's personalities, experiences, family backgrounds, and spiritual soft environment.

"A girl born in a poor family may prefer material and money in the choice of erotic love, because she is afraid of poverty and does not want to live a life of 'poor couples mourning' like her elders;

"An unknown and unwilling girl may prefer talent and fame or position and power in the choice of erotic love, because she does not want to be ignored forever;

"A girl born in a family discord or a single-parent family may prefer character and character in the choice of erotic love, because she does not want to repeat the mistakes of her parents;

"A girl who was raised by her father, who was an alcoholic and gambling addict, would never choose a husband who was as virtuous as her father when she was in love, because her father was a living negative teaching material;

"A girl born into a wealthy family may be more inclined to character, talent, or appearance in the choice of sexual affection, because possessions are no longer the most important or attractive to her;

"A girl born into a martial arts family may prefer martial arts expertise in the choice of erotic love, because she has been nurtured by the family environment for a long time;

"A girl with a quiet personality, advocating knowledge, or being born into a scholarly family, may prefer knowledge and elegance in the choice of erotic love......"

"Well, that makes sense."

Niu Tiangou nodded. He thought of Wu Lanlan, Tang Xiaoping, Qin Xianglian, Teresa Teng, and Huang Rong, all of whom had relatives working in the education department, and they were influenced and nurtured by their relatives to understand him, trust him, support him, and prepare to accept him......

"Spiritual conditions are the core content of erotic love, and people who prefer spiritual conditions truly understand the true meaning of love. Love is essentially an unstable passion, whether it is the appearance conditions, the material conditions, can only maintain this passion for a short period of time or in stages, if you want to maintain this passion, the love for a long time, in addition to constantly maintaining your appearance, constantly improving your material level, you need to constantly sublimate your spirit - constantly improve your knowledge, quality and cultivation, constantly enhance family affection, friendship, constantly strengthen spiritual communication, mutual understanding and mutual tolerance emotionally, In order to cage each other's hearts and attract each other's people, only then can the marriage be harmonious and happy, and the love can be carried out to the end. ”

After saying this, Uncle Taurus went on to add: "Of course, conditional preference is only relative. In fact, the erotic love in the world always combines the various conditions of both men and women, and the conditions are roughly equal or the conditions are roughly equal through the same amount of substitution, and on this basis, some conditions are selected with some emphasis and others are relaxed.

"For example, it is impossible for a person who prefers physical conditions to completely ignore material and spiritual conditions, because they still have to live and live in harmony, and appearance cannot replace everything after all; It is impossible for those who prefer material conditions to completely ignore physical and spiritual conditions, because it is impossible for them to endure a disgusting appearance and an incompatible spirit for a long time, lying on money and eating and sleeping depressed with their eyes closed; It is also impossible for people who prefer spiritual conditions to completely ignore physical and material conditions, because they are not living in a spiritual 'utopia'.

"Most people's preference for conditions is based on a combination of conditions. For example, although the woman prefers the man's material wealth and family scenery, she still hopes that the man has a certain education, is mature and stable, and is 'passable, not too ugly' in appearance.

"Just like you, the girls who choose you also take into account your various conditions. Although they prefer you to have a fixed job and a stable income, which is the basic condition of food and clothing (the original basis of material conditions), they also take into account your physical and mental conditions. Although you are short in stature, but your appearance is okay, and you have a certain amount of culture and knowledge, good character, kind and tenacious personality, these spiritual conditions, through the same amount of substitution, are generally equal to their conditions, so you have today's choice, there are Wu Lanlan in Wupu Town, Tang Xiaoping in Xiangliu County, Jiangnan, Teresa Teng in Huaidong County, Qin Xianglian in Huangyan County and others are still waiting for you wholeheartedly. ”

"I see." Niu Tiangou nodded convincingly again.

"It's good to understand. Although erotic love pays attention to the reciprocity of conditions, it also pays attention to conditional preference, the conditional 'reciprocity' comes from the world's gaze, and the conditional 'preference' comes from the deep feelings of the parties' hearts and from the fate in the dark. Remember, the best woman in the eyes of the world is not necessarily suitable for you, and the woman who suits your preference is the best, and if you want to know whether you love that woman or not, it depends on whether you are happy with her, happy or not, whether there is surging passion and vitality, there is love, and there is no love. Well, that's all for today. ”

After speaking, Uncle Taurus waved his hand: "Silly boy, believe in your feelings and fate, and boldly pursue your love." ”

Then, a puff of smoke suddenly rose, and Uncle Taurus quickly disappeared into a thick cloud of smoke......

It took a long time for Niu Tiangou to wake up from a trance.
