My friend has gone deep into TRP and I fear there is no hope for redemption... One of the problems that I have with him is how he values potential partners. For him physical appearance and health are the main criteria for any woman he would consider dating. If she doesn't fit bit spec, he will show no interest in her. Character and personality are secondary characteristics. He sees dating a less attractive woman as being devaluing if himself. He also feels that women don't care about how a man looks, they only care about how much money he has.

Dating with this mindset is doomed to failure. He's only going to find gold digger types thus creating a self fulfilling prophecy.
