What women look for in a man
Wed Apr 5, 2006 4:47 PM BST164
LONDON (Reuters) - The old adage that women look for wealth in a man appears to be under threat after research on Wednesday showed women are starting to put physical attractiveness above solvency.
The shift is occurring because women have been freed from the constraints that previously dictated how they chose a mate as they increasingly control their own finances, the study said.
"We are seeing that women who have control over their finances are less concerned with the fiscal status of their potential mates and look more as to how attractive they may be," said one of the authors, Fhionna Moore from University of St Andrews.
The findings, to be published in Evolution and Human Behaviour journal, showed, however, that women who had low levels of financial independence still tended to rate a man's fiscal status above attractiveness.
Moore, a research student, found that as a woman's level of "resource control" changed, so did her preferences.
"It is the control and the independence the money gives rather than the absolute income level that appears to be the key predicting variable," she told Reuters.
An analysis of questionnaires returned by 1,851 heterosexual women aged between 18 and 35 showed women were able to change their attitudes relatively quickly in reaction to their changed financial status.
"We seem capable of changing our preferences in quite a short time which suggest environmental factors rather than inherent traits had a big impact in choice," she said.
"Women are quicker at adapting behaviour than previously thought," added Moore who is attached to the University's psychology department.
I seem to remember owing someone a picture of my little one when I got them (but I forgot exactly who). Got a couple posted here.
So sorry to hear of your loss.
And glad you and Autumn have each other for comfort.
John, thanks for the pictures.... Your daughter is gorgeous as you know, and you don't ruin the picture either :~D
Thank You HOTD
Thanks!

Hair of the Dog,
Remember me?
Well, I hate to admit this, but you got me into a mess.
Guess what I have snoring under my feet here in my office as I type this?
A big old yellow lab.
I took him to the vet last week, and they weighed him. He weighs 89 pounds.
Had a really bad yeast infection in his ears. I'd been treating him for ear mites and couldn't get it cleared up. Guess why that's I'm not qualified to be a vet.
Anyway, thaks for getting me into this mess. He loves me so much, and the feeling's mutual.
yet another 24 hour freeper. I guess some people just live here
I'm glad you're in that mess! It's a good mess! Has he stopped the marking thing?
Yeast infections go hand and hand with labs. I've had labs all my life, and have learned to buy the blue ear cleaner in the BIG economy bottle and clean them out after they swim or if it's damp or humid out... Particularly if they swim in fresh water, I've found.
Or, if you have access to salt water, swim him there... no fungus problems.
Heh... I thought you'd appreciate all my prompt replies :~D
I tend to check in after the little one goes to bed. but it seems that whenever I've been on, and we've had a discussion going on, you are always here.
Well, I work from home and the computer's in the living room, and I keep the FR pager open so I always know when I get a ping. So yeah - I pretty much am on the computer all the time :~D
FR pager? I've been here for almost 8 years and I think I missed that. What is it and how's it work?
Both of you now, don't make me feel any more guilty than I do already.
I'm on here ALL the time, even when I'm working, I'm checking FR constantly, spend too much time on here, cuts into my work time, and the time I need to spend with my fan club (you know what I'm talking about Hair of the Dog).

I'm too kind to make any one feel guilty
(intentionally)
I'm on here ALL the time, even when I'm working, I'm checking FR constantly, spend too much time on here, cuts into my work time,
"Hi. I'm John O and I'm a freepaholic."
"Hi John O!"
Seriously though I did try to cut down once, but I gained a lot of weight. :^)
ping me so can see if it works (Please)
Ping!
Thanks tons!!
(and have a very good night)
You have a good night too :~D
