Feeling protected is also included as a part of security. Its not just about money.

I had a choice between marrying a man who made $200 a month in income and another who made over $2,000. Come on, at some point a woman does think about how a man can provide for her and their children.

Are you familiar with the joke about the old millionaire propositioning the ravishing young thing at the dinner party?

So in other words if the first male had suddenly come to you with 5,000 per month your choice would have been different? How about 10,000? Or, 3000? 2500? I know you are probably going to be offended by this but I can not help it; I do not think I am the only one who understands specifically where you stand. If those are your standards, then I do not think I can effectively make you understand how much a piece of meat that makes a male feel like. The higher-priced beefstock is the choice cut. Got you. If I were a husband reading such comments I can tell you right now that I would be making alternative plans for the future as quickly as possible and reconsidering whether I could in actuality turn down that higher-pressure (more pay) position at work. I might not get a comfortable reception at the end of the day. And we males are the problem? Guess I really need to find a higher paying job as quickly as possible or I am doomed to remain celibate and unattached for the rest of My life.

and justifiably so. I do not understand why anyone would think that income isn't a consideration in a marriage (notice I said A consideration). Amusingly enough, I was unemployed at the time I proposed to my wife of 29 years. Clearly she did not marry me for my money.
