Don’t appear on a reality TV show if you are doing illegal stuff
This story contains an important life lesson. If you are engaged in illegal activities, you should avoid doing anything that would attract unwanted attention to yourself. And yes, that includes appearing on a popular reality TV show.
You should also click on the link and look at the pictures of the people involved, because it will help you to follow the advice I’ve previously given which is to avoid marrying anyone who looks like she could be on a “Real Housewives” show.

‘to avoid marrying anyone who looks like she could be on a “Real Housewives” show’
Maybe I’m just a closet queer (closeted even to myself) but the idea that men are attracted to women based solely on how they look seems ridiculous to me.

You can certainly be attracted to women based solely on how they look. But in order to commit to them, rather than just bang them and leave, they gotta have more than that.
From the opposite perspective, the idea that men are “shallow” for not ignoring looks entirely and focusing only on the “non-looks” stuff seems ridiculous to me.

OT: Women tend to be a lot pickier than men. Heartiste tweeted a link to this article, from Jezebel of all places, the other day:

It’s shocking to see a feminist treat evolutionary psychology with anything other than contempt. I didn’t expect a single one of them to so much as put a toe in the water at this point. Most of us who read blogs like the Lion’s expect the truth of HBD to eventually be embraced by the masses (whatever that might look like), but I think most of us expect[ed] it to take at least another decade or two. Maybe it’ll happen sooner.
I’ve also heard Steve Hsu and John Hawks on NPR in the past six months, at different times. Hawks is teaching a Coursera (MOOC) course called ‘Human Evolution: Past and Future’ that starts on 1/21/14. Things are looking up for HBD.

Men think they’re attracted more by looks, women think they’re attracted less by looks, but in reality it’s usually about the same.
Gold diggers are actually rare. There aren’t many men with a lot of gold to dig, after all. If women were so hypergamous the poor wouldn’t reproduce themselves.
The knockout from the trailer park really has no chance with the partner at GS.

evopsych is 100% BS. How does it explain the sexual mores of the Wodaabe, the Inuit, the Mosuo? it doesn’t. It’s retarded. It’s just ideology. That is, explaining away arbitrary features of society as somehow necessary.
Even if there were any truth in it the idea that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, blah, blah, ignores the huge overlap in personality and sexual appetite.
I’ve met many women with more balls and more libido than most men.
Some white men can jump and run really fast, after all.

True, but there really are no knockouts in trailer parks.

Poor women don’t even marry anymore but Hugh left that out and just said “they reproduce” indeed but only to the most socially dominant men in their milieu. The ghetto is very similar to the primitive tribal societies Hugh said evo psych couldn’t explain which is odd as both understood as matriarchies.

I guess I’m just weird but supposed male hypogamy makes no sense to me either.
All else being equal (which it never is) I’d much rather do an executrix than a shop girl.

“…but only to the most socially dominant men in their milieu”
Wrong again. I’ve had attractive women come on very strong (zero ambiguity as to what they wanted) who were more powerful and richer than me.
It depends on expectations. A woman whose mother staid at home is probably going to want a man like her father.
And btw, I guess “executrix” never means a female executive, but that’s what I meant.

Don’t you have to be the kind of Guido who wears an untapered, multistripe dress shirt with an oversized collar untucked over pre-distressed jeans with some black slip-on, square toed Kenneth Coles and a watch with a face larger than 42mm (probably 50-55) to marry one of her ilk anyway?

That’s an uniform for older, pauchy guidos in NJ. Young ones, who spend their lives in the gym opt for skin tight clothes. NOTHING will happen to those two mooks. Those drifters will make some sort of a deal, pay something in restitution & waltz out of court to resume a life of cheating & swindling. I would bet money on it.

Once again, Lion looks out for his crime-prone prole readers.

Indeed, Lion does have TOOS value which is not common in prole or lower middle class.
There is also a group of people who know how to get rich without drawing too much attention until data dig them out.

Am I not understanding something or do these charges appear to be somewhat trumped up.
They exaggerated income on mortgage applications– so did a large portion of subprime loan borrowers before the housing bust.
They didn’t disclose some rental and other income during bankruptcy proceedings– maybe that income was uncertain or in flux. You never know if tenants will cough up the rent.
And they’re in trouble for not being able to predict their anticipated increase in income… how were they supposed to know that, did they have a prognosticator on staff?
One could argue that by virtue of the fact that they were living under a spotlight these issues were not intentional or willful. If they knew they would be under celebrity scrutiny they wouldn’t have been so flagrant in their misdeeds.

Pro tip: Some of the most televison addicted people I know work for the IRS. It may take them several seasons, but if you make a lot of money (or pretend to) and flaunt your wealth on televison or in a documentary, revenue agents will look you up. If your returns show very little income or, even worse, you did not bother to file returns, you will added to “the docket,” which is the sort of reality drama that even the most desperate, aging woman with too much plastic surgery wants no part of.

I wonder more about the people who appear on shows centered around illegal activity, like “Moonshiners” and “Weed Country.”

Big Brother: PoV Used, New Alliances, A New Showmance And Disgraceful Bigotry
http://www.realitytvcalendar.com/shows/bb15/bs/004-p12.html
Downstairs Princess Aaryn is back to leading the Bigotry Brigade. In reference to Helen she says “Shut up! Go make some rice!”
Kaitlin tells the dumb girls alliance “they are going to try and turn the whole house against us.” Gina and Aaryn don’t think that is possible because “we have the numbers.”
Kaitlin says “Howard and Candice are going to be on the same team.” Gina says “Well yeah, because blacks stick together. They’re tokens.”
Kaitlin says “They’re like black Barbie and Ken.” Aaryn says “Yeah, exactly, except they’re not.”
They all agree that coming off the block has gone to Candice’s head. Gina says “It’s her blackness coming out.”

True, but there really are no knockouts in trailer parks.
Not necessarily true. Anna Nicole Smith, Ava Gardner and Shania Twain all come from extemely humble beginnings, others could come to mind as well.
A truly attractive female from the lowest classes tends to either getting married and impregnated early (thus losing their looks untimely), become a leech on rich guys or move to Hollywood to attempt to become a starlet (or pornstar).
