“One of the things you’ve got to do when you work this job is keep your body in shape,” Ruth admits. “It’s extremely important that you look as good as possible at all times. The most important thing in the world is being hot when you’re a woman. It’s the thing that gives you so much power. Think about how that works. The average woman goes through this whole process when she selects a man. She evaluates him for all kinds of factors. Is he handsome? Is he funny? Is he wealthy? Is he powerful? There’s theories about that, revolving around evolutionary psychology. They say that women always pick a man based on what he can do for her, what he can provide for her. It’s built into us to be greedy gold-diggers when it comes to our personal relationships. Can you imagine not realizing that and getting into it with a woman, only to discover she’s going to abandon you when you can no longer do things for her? I think that’s pretty rough. But it’s how things are. It’s kind of a shame, really, that it has to be that way, but it is sometimes.”
