So who takes the cake.

I would have to say a woman

[limp_dilznick]

uhh I'd have to disagree with you there. Beautiful women don't have real power; they latch onto powerful husbands, who are usually too smart to let their wives ruin them.

I do think that a woman's level of beauty will guarantee her a husband with a corresponding level of wealth/power.

Is there a question and I missed it?

[Fedorable]

i prefer a woman's money.

[KempoMaster]

I see a woman's beauty as a simple compliment to a man's power when speaking of the two simultaneously. Powerful men have powerful positions in life, lots of money, and beautiful wives/girlfriends.

A powerful man never seems to have trouble aquiring a beautiful woman, on the other hand, an ordinary joe might have to work much harder to make the same claim.

[gasguzzler]

Many a man's power has been lost due to the love of a woman.

[FDPN]

Thanks to America's incredibly unhealthy culture the number of truly beautiful women has plummeted off the edge of a cliff.

However, the number of powerful men has remained steady.

I'd say it's better to be a powerful man.

I've never seen a powerful man without a beautiful woman, if he wanted one.

I've seen plenty of beautiful women at strip clubs though.

Without a man's power, a woman's beauty means nothing.

[SpacePotato]

I don't understand what is being asked.

Men pay money for women's beauty in may ways. I don't see how one side "wins" in any of these transactions. Generally both sides get what they came for.

What I mean is who do think has more influence over the other in general
