The man in that example is a bit extreme.And I do not feel sorry for him.The men I feel sorry for is the 4,5(looks) with a used car and low paying 40+ hour job that struggls to find a date.
I disagree Dewdrop93. If a women used coupons on a first date or did not contribute any money,did not have a car or job and lived with her parents but was very nice,fun to be with and the man is attracted to her, she would indeed be a very good catch for a TON of men out there.
You are assuming that she's fun, nice, and attractive. I didn't make that assumption.
You also didn't assume the man was as well.And that is the crux of the double standard.A far far greater % of women can be JUST nice, fun and average looking and still get dates.Men have a huge problem pulling that off.Thats why income is the most important factor and chemistry a close second, imo.

I think a lot of it depends on age. I'm in my late 20s and can tell you that the vast majority of my lady friends will absolutely date a guy who is broke, and not that great looking if he simply makes her happy. My male friends in the same age bracket ONLY go after hot women. They couldn't care less about her career, her personality or anything else as long as she's good looking. My male friends have dated some of the meanest, bitchiest horrible women because they were thin and had big boobs.
I have noticed as I get older that's slowly shifting and the guys are focusing a bit less on looks and the women are looking for someone who is stable. That doesn't necessarily mean a high income, but at least enough so he doesn't live in his parents basement.

I don't know - I work in theatre - so I know lots of guys that don't make much money at all but have great personalities, are really talented, and have no problem getting women.
The women who said it's the "personality" are probably lying, to themselves.
Women may say they like personality but in their unconscious minds they almost always go after men who are strong and capable, somewhat aggressive and who possess athletic bodies and a strong bank account.

Another man who knows what the women are really thinking, eh?
But if that is the case...why is that bad? Should women be running after weak, incapable men with fat bodies and no money?
Men, no different when you chase after women who carry certain physical attributes as well.

Those are bare minimums.
Next up on the list...honest with good personality.

What constitutes a good personality is subjective to every woman.
When I was in high school the girls there only wanted to date guys who were bullies and who used to shun other guys who were deemed as weaker or inferior to those in their clique.
