Put it in the bag

I walked into Victoria's Secret one evening and after about 5 minutes of perusing, this guy walks up behind me (he's talking to someone else on the phone) and says "anything you want in the store, I got it. Just pick anything you want here and I'll buy it for you."

I didn't know whether to laugh or to be offended. So, you want to approach me and you don't even have the common courtesy of getting off the phone first but I suppose the fact that you are offering to buy up the entire store for me should forgive all.

I can't remember how he said it, but Chris Rock implied in one of his specials that if a man can make money...he's good. He doesn't really need to be tall, doesn't need to be cute, he just needs to make money...and he'll be fine. In fact, if men didn't need women, they probably wouldn't care so much about money/obtaining material things.

I mean, that can't be all there is to women...can it? For Joe Blow at Victoria's Secret to come tell me that he can buy me anything at the store...it must have worked with some other woman. Surely, there are plenty women in the world that will quickly give up money to have other things: love, attention, care, concern e.t.c. If that's the case, why is it that when all these song writers are making songs they are telling of how many houses they can buy for you and how they can "transform ya"

Am I the one that has it completely wrong?

If "Money" = "Open Sesame" for women, what is the equivalent of it for men?
