Simple. They want to mold someone they can control.
It is not possible to understand what "women" want.
Nope, just here by myself.
Men who own a fortune don't seem to have a problem getting women.
Sounds about right.
But some poor schlub that's just looking for a loving mate? HE'S a prime target for a bloodsucker. His faithfulness is his weakness.
What does claiming a high income on a personal ad say about the man? (That he's full of...)
Income/expensive cars/clothes etc should never be mentioned to a prospective mate. If she is the type the really cares she will figure it out on her own. If you talk about it you just come off as an ass.
The answer is simple.
They want a man who is well-off enough to support them, but not so rich that he is constantly being chased by other women.
They also might think that if he has such an important job, he'll devote all his time and attention to business.
This is a UK study. They've been brainwashed to distrust achievers. Any man with money is a Capitalist exploiter. They're more comfortable with the goodlooking everyday workingman.
Baloney! Women are nuts about me.
I think this study shows a truth that has been evident to me for a while, and that I told my wife years ago.
There's nothing wrong with "settling".
If "the" women even knows the man who has it all,,,, HAS IT ALL..
THE BOY IS BRAGGIN'....
Women often don't want what they want.
What women say they want and what they really want (as ultimately proven by their choices) are three different things!
The "study" sounds bogus to me. Women like the money.
I suspect a few of the participants fudged a little, maybe feeling they should respond in a way that makes them look like sure, that they can get by with less. That way they they look less greedy and feel better about themselves. Like having a piece of cake, and washing it down with a Diet Coke.
Well, that explains my problem.
I'm 36 years old, very good looking, 6ft tall, muscular, not an ounce of fat. I have the perfect tan and I'm a millionaire......... and can't find a good woman.
I guess I'm just too perfect. (I'm a good liar too)
Make no mistake, they look for the handsome, exciting guys when they're young and having fun.
But, after all the fun is over, or not worth dealing with the other deficiencies these men have, the women start to look for the nice guy who has been stable the whole time. The looks aren't as important this time around, as now they realize the very things that the attractive guys couldn't offer, the nice guys can.
However, the things that the nice guy has wanted to offer, he won't be able to, though she might not even want it anymore (fun time's over, Johnny). Needless to say, it can become a source of resentment for that stable, nice guy who did, indeed, finish last.
If women really wanted what they say they want, there would be no country and western music!
