This is sort of a sad "reality" for guys. If a women would prefer money over someone that they are attracted to/ in love with. Then that says alot about the "morality" of some women. You would really rather be with a guy that you wouldn't want to touch, play with/ look at than with someone who get's your heart rolling. That's pretty sad. Money isn't everything.
I thought many women on c-d had a little more tact then that..But the money side is winning pretty handedly. So that tells me alot..Kind of sad if you ask me. It seems to speak volumes of many things. For one, it makes me wonder what sort of fears "women" are having in this current economy. Which doesn't really make sense, because last time I knew-there were more women in college than men. So if it is strictly for financial security, then their union isn't one of love/desire/want. It's strictly out of "economic security". Which goes against everything that marriage is supposed to be. How have we "morally" fallen so hard as a race? This is very sad. Because I think people are being honest. They are basically saying, I can live without being in love and what not as long as I can get my hair/ finger nails/ whatever done when I want to, as well as having a huge home to come home too and no financial worries..I would like to think that women have a more holistic view of life in all its spiritual form..I am also wondering how many men have answered money for them? Hmm, very eye opening if nothing else. I guess I am a bit naive/ dellusional. I thought, when it comes down to it, we find partners who we are attracted to and have something in common with. Not just someone to take care of us..
There were only 2 choices: Looks and Money. Other more important things (love, intellect, personality, compatibility, etc.) were not choices. So I assumed that all other things were equal.
If my choice is good looks vs. good money with all the other things being equal, I would choose "money" because I believe it often (though not always) indicates male traits that I like (hardwork, drive, ambition, character, leadership, intelligence, education, etc.), whereas "looks" often reflect DNA that you have little control over (e.g. male height, pattern baldness, etc). To me, choosing "looks" is the more superficial choice of the two.

GoCubs1,
Yes, and there is nothing wrong for woman to admit that. It’s like having men say that all they care is about a woman’s heart but not her looks at all.
Hey man, not sure if we can say this is necessarily bad. It's like women getting upset because men go after a girl they find attractive. This is even seen in the animal kingdom where the female species will go after the male who shows to have more dominium, food, bigger nest, etc.
I prefer to partner with a good hardworking, self-made (or in-the-making) man vs. going for some selfish, boring heir who has never had to work for anything. Though I'm sure there are many nice heirs out there too! But I really enjoy the journey.
I will always contribute my own skills, hardwork, and money to the partnership as I love being part of something big (regardless of money). I have always been very attracted to men who "are starting something" and have big dreams (e.g. guys in school starting organizations, men starting businesses, etc.). I guess it is the drive, ambition, and leadership skills I like.
Money is often a side effect of these personality traits (though failure can be too). I have a very high tolerance for risk, excitement, and living on the edge financially (which actually indicates that money is not really that important to me as I am ok with losing it). Some women prefer more stability.
I actually sold my SO on the idea of leaving our stable, well-paying big corp. jobs (where we met), so we could start a business together. Many people thought we were crazy. And people (like some on this thread) think we do it only "for the money" which is completely short-sighted and inaccurate. Money can be a side effect of following your dreams.
I swear some women will do anything for money, they would sacrifice a new born child if the price was right, pure evil.
Just like any other poll, I'd bet that if an admin looks at the voters, more than half of them will be men. Only that in this case it'd be OK as the poll doesn't specifically address women.

Yeah. Because of the lack of specificity, I voted. I said "looks."
