Do you think gold-digging is justifiable?

I remember the scene during my college time where a girl said that she will only date a guy with the thickest wallet, some male students then proceed to call her gold-digger. Unbeknownst to her, the professor who was there overheard this and said “No, no, you’ll all wrong. Women are known to be gold diggers. It’s a common knowledge, there’s nothing wrong about it, and you certainly shouldn’t be ashamed of it”. At the first glance, I think this is a sexist remark coming from him but upon contemplation and discussion with my girls we agree that he might be right after all. What women wouldn’t want a men with money? It’s one of the attractive feature of a man. It doens’t mean they hate men with less money, it’s just that they prefer men with more money. It’s a simple matter of preference and for survival as well as convenience reason. It’s no brainer that no girl will want to make her life (and future children) tough by marrying a man with less money.

I find that this is also justifiable in nature. Many female species of bird will only choose males that build the best nest, give the best offering, or having the most resources. This is done to ensure that she and her descendants have the most convenient life as well as higher survival chance. There are other animals as well. If we compare this with human we can see that the behavior that we brand as “gold-digging” is actually a natural behavior from human being that is derived from their desire to have better life.

Using this kind of thinking I can clarify my family life have a part in it. If there’s one thing smart about my mother it’s that she married my father thus me and my siblings can now and have always been having ample supply of financial resources. To call her (as well as other similar woman) as “gold-digger” would be rude and underappreciative. Men can also equally eligible for the same thing, of course. It just came to me that I’ve just realized there’s no such thing as gold-digging. What do you think, folks?
