The requirement that one be rich and successful to be sexually attractive

We're talking gripes here. In the world of gripes, it falls under Predation,
assuming the sociobiological theory of Dawkins et al., that males' money and
power encourage females to breed more than any romantic considerations. Further
in the world of gripes, if one succumbs to Gravity and loafs to the point of
obesity, even casual encounters are made difficult.
For one in the throes of gripes, contentment is a fantasy ideal--postulating
a world where Predation doesn't influence romance and giving in to Gravity
doesn't soon yield atrophy.
