"Financial security" of dating material is not at the top of the list for the most women. It may be for some, but I assure you they are the minority. Even so, you have selected a grossly unappealing fellow to use as criteria for your poll. I doubt you would find many women that would want to be in the same room with this guy, much less date him. Believe me, not enough money in the world....

Financial security is usually pretty important to most girls, even if only subconsciously. But there are other things like status, power, etc.

I did not say that financial security itself, was not important to most women. It most certainly is!! Read my post.

Money usually goes hand in hand with status and power. How many people in the world do you know that have status and power, but no money ? Why do you think most U.S presidents past and president were already born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Also most of congress come from financially well off families.

Well you said directly that the minority of women care about that. I'm not really sure if that's true or not, stereotypically a lot of women care about that, but I think they care more about just making sure they date a guy with ambition who has some sort of real career.

Of course. But money isn't automatically status and power. You can have money and not have status and power. But if you have status and power, you probably have money. In other words, B implies A, but A doesn't imply B. You can have a rich uncle die and be wealthy, but to be powerful you have to get there yourself generally or be left such a huge sum of money and be smart enough to figure out how to use it well.

It is for me also,which is one reason I stayed away from getting married and having kids.Im at a point now where I have no major bills,car paid off,got alot of my fun things,getting ready to buy a house cash.Pocket most of my paychecks.Wasn't always like that but I look out for myself one way or another,and never have had a high dollar paying job,not 100K,not even 80k a year,but I live in Fl though where things don't cost as much like the north East or California.


Although if I did have a kid,I would change to make sure I was responsible for my child.

He's not so bad looking in the face on picture 2. But anyway, making over 250,000 a year does not guarantee a great marriage, happy kids and a satisfying sex life.

And anyway, I like a man with teeth, I like to be bitten if you know what I mean

Sheesh, put your bedroom dreams aside...I'd like him to have teeth so I would not get shot with his food while he ate...

There is a difference when the guy is loaded with $$$ but just plain out FUGLY. That man looks like a shaved, toothless grizzly bear.

Imagine yourself as a woman and having him crawl all over/paw at you during the night, and see if you'd have him....
