Wealthy men have richer sex lives

HIGH earners of both genders boast an increased libido over their poorer colleagues, but only the wealthy men end up having more sex.

As their incomes rise, men and women are more likely to have a higher sex drive, according to a study of almost 30,000 people from 170 countries - the largest survey of its kind.

The findings, from an online survey conducted by the BBC, offer fresh evidence for the theory that women tend to be more attracted to men with money and resources, but that a woman's wealth does not much affect her sex appeal to men.

"Men accumulate resources, which they use to attract women," said John Manning, professor of psychology at the University of Central Lancashire, who analysed the results.

"When it comes to men with little by way of resources, women are just not interested in them at all. As a man's earning power goes up, you would expect him to be having more sex and be with more sexual partners." Feminine charms were little enhanced by income because men paid more attention to other qualities, such as looks, Professor Manning said.

Ah this story will annoy some people on here no end.

LOL

The other thing this ignores is that men with money can travel to where the women are easy (Mardi Gras, Spring Break) while some poor fools had to work during break.
*whimper*

Sure - they can afford more sheep.

[Selkie]

No that's a guy with little money.

The only wife he could attract with his paltry salary made him turn to sheepish love.

[Swordmaker]

They actually funded a study to tell them this???

Why not a study to confirm the sun rises in the East?

Or one that Women are different from Men... Oh, forgot... they did that already.

[Ajnin]

Whoever did this study obviously never made it to Imperial Valley California.

[Selkie]

The study before this they took a polling and discovered the sky is blue.

"but only the wealthy men end up having more sex."- Where's all these poor Chinese and Ugandans and Hondurans coming from, then?

[demlosers]

Yes, it seems that the third world makes all the babies.

[goldstategop]

Power is sexy. And wealth is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Of course, women say they never marry men for money - though having income and plenty to spare definitely increases a guy's attractiveness. LOL!

And, in other late-breaking news, researchers have also discovered that water is wet, fire is hot, death is permanent, and taxes are eternal. More on this developing story at Ten...

"Men accumulate resources, which they use to attract women,"

Wow, how long has this been going on?

[PLMerite]

Sure they didn't mean to say that wealthy men have "richer ex-wives?"

[freedomfiter2]

Feminine charms were little enhanced by income because men paid more attention to other qualities, such as looks, Professor Manning said.

That and the fact that women with a lot of money are free to be nasty.

[Junior]

Evidently no one interviewed any married men.

[Mortikhi]

Now why would wealthy men have more/better sex? Maybe wealth really does draw in the like:

[Selkie]

Eh, don't know about that.

Most of the older horny rich couples where Im from are reportedly still sex fiends behind closed doors

Which is a horrible thought and now I have to take a bath.

[Selkie]

Didnt they become construction workers/Real Estate flippers ?

[corlorde]

No wonder my sex life sucks, I'm dirt poor...

;->

[motormouth]

LOL


I know as a woman, any man with a bank account that maintains a balance of less then 50 grand isnt even worthy of a smooch! /s
