The distinction between tangible and intangible assets in accounting tends to be that a tangible asset is an asset that has a physical form, whereas intangible assets is synonymous with nonphysical assets. Examples of the former would be land, machinery and inventory, whereas examples of the latter would be among others brand recognition, patents and copyrights. Most companies tend to have a mixture of both to varying degrees, where software companies often have few tangible assets and much of their value is tied up in intangible assets, large manufacturing corporations tend to have many tangible assets and less tangible assets as a percentage of assets relatively speaking.

As with a company, most people are a mixture of tangible and intangible assets, a person's physique and health would be the primary tangible assets that a person has, while their personality and traits are their intangible assets. A person's ambition, drive, self-discipline and intellect, would be some examples of these intangible assets. Perhaps the major distinction between the two is that one could potentially design an objective measuring system for tangible assets, to some extent this already exists in the form of medical records. This is perhaps why it's given a relatively low amount of attention within the sphere and the various articles on "vetting a wife".

These articles tend to largely focus on the intangible assets of a potential partner, both in isolation, but also in interaction with the intangible assets of others. The essays on this blog pertaining to damaged women are examples of how to identify women who embody certain clusters of intangible assets that will tend to cause substantial amounts of havoc. For instance, when the "vet your potential wife" articles recommend looking at her relationship history, this is a two-part approach, where on one hand, the fewer relationships she has had, the less baggage she will have but on the other the nature of her relationships also allow glimpses into her actions within them.

When these articles advice conducting reconnaissance on the mother, they are advocating a mixture of viewing the inevitable decline of her tangible assets, but also her intangible assets. The mother is a woman's first and major role-model when it comes to feminine and relationship behaviors, thus the behaviors she learned from her mother are going to be those most firmly imprinted on her mind.
