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 married a poor man and made him rich....on so many levels.
;-)
Good attitude :)
Im sure you know that post was in jest.
Just wanted to "stir" things up. :o)
Although, Im sure my comment does represent the opinion of some women... which is sad!
Yes true
M epersonally, I just want a cute, smart and down to earth guy and Ill be very happy.
When you find one...see if he has a friend and let me know!!
LOL
btw:
Im pretty sure those men with those characteristics are EXTINCT!!! Which is very sad, but also very true.
:o)
I can vouch that Rich/"short for Richard" doesn't seem to work the same.
It's true the good ones are snatched up quick !
That's the first thing I noticed about the article...no mention of marriage anywhere to be found.
And the other inconsistency, can you really trust some men to report on their sex life without a little braggadoci0 included, LOL!
It is lonely at the top, but you get a larger house, a nicer car, better food, and a trophy wife.;)
When Mrs. Roosevelt was being shown the chickens, she noticed there was a lot of hens and only one rooster. She asked if that could be right and the guide said, "Oh, yes ma'am, the rooster does it up to 40 times a day." She instructed him to be sure to tell Mr. Roosevelt that when he got to this area.
The guide told the President what his wife had said. Mr. Roosevelt asked, "Same hen every time?" The guy replied, "Oh, no sir, different hen every time." The President then said, "You make sure Mrs. Roosevelt hears that."
Nelson Rockefeller would have been a poster boy for this predetermined survey. To prove it, he went out with a smile on his face.
They needed a study to confirm this?!
The rich people are having no consequences sex with all the birth control and abortion they can afford.
The "Kissinger Factor".
master of the obvious ping... they may be having more but are they happy, fulfilled,etc.? When they're sick or dying, do they have a loving,devoted women at their side? I am not shocked at this story since I've met a lot of women who will have sex with a man for money. A woman will date a rich,ugly man but it almost always never the other way around.
Some of the best advice my Mom ever gave me was telling me that having a job is sexier to women than not. She was right.
Oh please... maybe it's just because the average well-to-do person is more intelligent than the average not-well-to-do person, and therefore has more of a propensity to know how not to get pregnant?
If you can't afford the 50 cent rubber from the bathrom at the Quickie Mart, you shouldn't be having sex anyway.
