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.

Um...it's not about intelligence. You obviously have never minged with the idle rich the way I have. You're in for a shock if you ever do.
I think there are a lot of people who would love to be rich enough to afford their many vices. That's how human beings are. Been that way since the Bible.
That's a lie.
My beer can collection hasn't attracted one woman.

I am partial to comb overs.

LOL

Personally, I like girls who are content with what they have- hard working, intelligent, kind, funny, but not materialistic. Materialism just drives me crazy.
What can I say, your attitude is so profound and rare among women as to be for lack of better words royal, Queen like, of course he (the husband) must have played a role as well.
Yeah, they are few and far between, at least on the single side (sorry ladies). Methinks the country yields a better chance of the aforementioned 'desirable' type. And she should be skilled with a gun too ;). Moving back to small town USA...
Wealth and power aren't attractive qualities in a woman...unless you are a surf bum looking for a nice place in Malibu to crash for the summer. ;)
You might not have noticed yet, but you're really in luck with me!

From the movie Bewitched:
Nicole Kidman: "It's like how a rich man never knows whether women are sleeping with him because they really like him or because of his money."
Michael Caine: "Yes, but they are still sleeping with him, so there isn't really a problem, is there?" ;)
Remember, all women are interested in money - it's about biology, not greed or "golddigging". Her subconscious concern is for the survival of her future offspring. If you don't have at least the potential to become successful, you aren't going to be very attractive to any woman. If you are 20 and poor, no real problem - you've got time to evolve. If you are 40 and poor, forget it - you are a proven liability.

Wouldn't a better description be loser?
Who knows?
Not all of us. :) Some of us cute, down to earth, funny fellas are a bit jaded by the "fairer" sex and are still single.
