WHY do you think DONALD TRUMP can get an attractive wife BUT OPRAH can't get Brad Pitt?
A lot of women seem to 'THINK' that men care about a womans status, education and success in relation to dating and marriage.
Where is that idea coming from? Oprah is very successful and educated yet most men would rather date Britney Spears if they had to choose (including me).
And this goes for men of ALL levels of success from poor to rich... educated to uneducated, attractive to not attractive. Brad Pitt would never date Oprah.
Yet, Donald Trump who looks like crap, can get any number of attractive women.
What does this show about how men and women pick partners and WHAT each gender is MOSTLY attracted to?
I KNOW Brad Pitt is married. SO WHAT?? He was married the Jennifer Aniston too.

Exactly. I never understood why when single women whine about being single or independent women brag about being independent, many of the things they list are things like, can take care of themselves financially, own a car, own a home, educated, yadda yadda yadda as if this impresses men. Women call this independence, men call it adulthood and being responsible. To me this is the equivalent of a man who brags that they don't hit women. Big f****** deal, it's what you should be doing in the first place.
It seems as if celebrity females mostly marry celebrity or rich males, but yet it's more common to see a celebrity male to be married to a woman not as high in status. Women still hold on to the ideas of a male being the breadwinner or at least be near her level even when it doesn't make sense for a woman who is already rich/wealthy, which limits their dating pool. Men are supposed to be the most superficial gender but yet men are more willing to expand their preferences.

Us women WANT men to like us for education that is where that came from. (some men do)
Donald Trump wipes his @s$ with hundred dollar bills so f#ck him.
Brad Pitt has Angelina Jolie, why would he go for Oprah. Oprah will end his career by her words alone or even being seen with her.

It doesn't necessarily show anything about what each gender is mostly attracted to. Different people will have different preferences. Sure, there are women who are attracted to Trump's money. At the same time, there are some women who couldn't get beyond his incredibly horrible looks and would never consider being with him.
Personally, while I prefer attractive women, I also prefer women who have a substanital educational background as well. Sure, hot girls are fun for a while, but what happens when the novelty of being with them wears off? For me, once the new smell wears off, they have to be able to keep up with me intellectually. If not, it could never be serious.
Brad Pitt has Angelina who has money AND is hot...why would he want Oprah?

Oprah has had a male partner for years (she believes she has a relationship equivalent to marriage) far more years than Trump has spent with any one of his spouses. The guy is much better looking than Trump as well.
Logically your analogy "Oprah is very successful and educated yet most men would rather date Britney Spears" should give me the choice between Trump and the male equivalent to Britney.
Edit: But the woman is not supposed to have any criteria for picking a mate?

HUH?
Oprah has a guy; one who isn't a third her age, and with whom she has much in common.
Your question assumes that women do all the things they love to do or want to do in order to "get" a young, pretty boy. That's simply not true. Although there are many men who value only brainless, pretty, "trophies" this is less common among women. Women who get educations aren't doing it as a turn-on.
Although you, and many young men, would rather be involved with a brainless though pretty thing, this isn't true of all men; many men prefer someone with more than one functioning brain cell, and otherwise have more human (than purely physical) values.
Yes, there are more women who will take any repulsive scum-bag, if he's powerful, that's not true of ALL women. Most women's values are HUMAN values, not simply a desire for "stuff" or status.
PEOPLE vary. Among both sexes are those who value real values; and in both sexes are those who value superficiality.
I reject the notion that ALL men choose only brainless cutie-pies, and the notion that all women are gold-diggers.

IMO- Angelina Jolie is an attractive, successful, educated women and she has Brad Pitt. He didn't go for a Spear Brittany type. As for Donald Trump and his ladies...Melania is attractive however...I don't think Ivan or Marla are. However; you are right none of them are educated or successful in the states for anything other then being with Donald. It is clear that as soon as one of Donald's ladies look old they get the boot. However Donald couldn't get an Angelina Jolie or a Jennifer Aniston... They are too smart to lower themselves to date that man so he will have to settle for those other women.

Even though Britney Spears has turned into a dumb drunken mess with two kids who will need much therapy later?
REALLY?
I think Brad Pitt would date Oprah, if either of them wanted each other. They seem to have a lot in common. Besides, he isn't all that hot, either (I personally think he's too much of a pretty-boy).
A woman's education and earning potential are becoming more important to men, though, now that they're less likely to be able to support the entire family on their own. Maybe that will never be a problem for you, but educated women won't bother with you, anyway.

You are comparing the desires of a wealthy man to the desires of a wealthy woman. Why not compare woman to woman? Maybe Melania wanted to be married to someone who could buy her diamonds, big homes and fancy cars. And maybe Oprah can buy her own so what does she need Brad Pitt for?
"Brad Pitt would never date Oprah." Or maybe Oprah would never date Brad Pitt. Ever thought of it that way? Why do you automatically assume that men do the choosing? Don't we (women) get a say in who we date?

hmmm, Brad Pitt pre Angelina. I don't want Trumps hair!

Maybe the age difference? Men like younger women. Did Brad Pitt tell you he would never date Oprah??
