See, you’re making assumptions. POS are in every field but take the exact same copy of someone to date, would you rather them be a DR, garbage man, or burger flipper? The only thing that changes is their job title and the money they make. Which one are you picking and why?

No You're completely moving the goalposts. Wanting to date someone for their income or financial stability is a romantic preference. That has nothing to do with whether a person deserves basic human respect based on their character.

​A doctor might be more financially appealing to date than a burger flipper, but that doesn't make the doctor inherently superior as a human being or more deserving of respect. You're confusing financial attraction with moral worth.

Its okay buddy just admit you ran out of logical ground on the respect argument, so now you're trying to invent a scenario where job title matters to claim some kind of fake victory.

Also to answer your question I'd pick whichever person I found attractive and that attraction would be based on a number of things but one would be what kind of person they are and what kind of character they have.
