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.

I know this is the way it's always worked out in my life...

Re your comment, "...a bank account that maintains a balance of less then 50 grand isnt even worthy...":
Well, I can tell it is in jest.
It it were to be taken seriously, you would need at least one more zero!
(Joke -- perhaps.)
It was most certainly in jest... :o)
"It it were to be taken seriously, you would need at least one more zero! "
True!! LOL
San Francisco Bay Area: two more. Even then, the guy would likely be considered an underachiever. ;)
LMAO
Oh, if we were to be charging by area, it would be double the 50,000 for California!!!!
So the rich are so smart, they would rather not pass on their genes to another generation?
Sez who?
I'm still tryin' to figure out where all the good women in my area are hiding (the unmarried ones, that is).
Says me. LOL
Im sure it is just as difficult to find the "good" women too.
:o) Didnt mean to offend all the obviously cute, smart, downt to earth men on FR.
The researchers put the cart before the horse. People with high sex drives are more likely to be high earners. IMO.
Why do you think that?
This sounds extreme and strange. What kind of women do you know? I thought that most women want sexual intimacy throughout their lives at all ages, just because they like sex.
It's about drive. Driven people are more likely, it seems to me, to be driven to succeed at everything including sexual "accomplishments." Getting good sex is just another item on their long to-do lists. I think that's what drives successful men into so many beds. Lucky for them, their accomplisments and bank accounts make them attractive to many women.

"Driven People" Are you referring to men only or do you think it applies to women as well?
:o)
No, they're just a little more selective about who they share them with.
Huh?
