You missed the broke guy who is intelligent and fun. Those are the ones I go for! Like many women, I have always had plenty of my own money so I don't really care about how much he makes. I want his body and his mind!
Just watch out for the broke guy who is intelligent and fun but has a code of honor that prevents him from getting a date.
I didn't answer this poll as I just can't think of a rich/highly intelligent guy who is also boring and ugly. I have dated many rich/intelligent men and they have never been boring as money gives you more opportunities to do exciting things. I find highly intelligent guys very exciting (not boring).
Really, the only 2 things on the poll I care about are intelligence and excitement. Looks and wealth matter less, though I'd pick wealth over looks as it signifies other qualities (hard-work, perseverance, intelligence), while good looks are often just genetics and more likely than wealth to fade with age.
So I would have picked this option: Guy of average looks, average salary, extremely exciting, extremely intelligent
Wheres the guy who makes at least 500K or more??? What is this peasants pay of 40k-50k????? WTH. This poll sucks.
Well...I'm going to be making about $720K/year, and I'm having problems finding a girl, and I have assets well north of $4 million from my career in business prior to goign to medicine. So, I guess not all women are into money. But then again, I don't really flaunt it conspicuously, and I'm also only 5'4" (most women won't even look at me it seems)....
It doesn't matter how rich a single person is, it's their motives, without sincere motives, that person lacks everything as far as I'm concerned, and that's in both genders. There's nothing wrong with a woman who wants a man who is financially stable and is a good provider, but without going into too many details, I've met a few women who might as well wear a sign that says "Gold Digger".
There are many different way of looking at this topic. Personally...and Im only speaking on my own experience, I think youre safer hooking up with a poor guy who has nothing more than is heart to offer. Reason being is Ive seen way, too many times, in my homecleaning business, men who use their money as leverage. Show what you have, all the glittery gold stuff, presents, material things, that only keep a women pacified while he's gone on 'business trips' or 'out with the guys'. Not saying theres anything wrong with making lots of money, but when it becomes the center of a relationship, theres a problem. Besides, for the most part, (and again, speaking from my own experience), no one wants to be around a poor guy, everyone wants the rich guy. Let 'em have him, Im going for the one who wont flirt, cheat, buy you material things just to keep you happy, he simply tries with his heart to hold on like heck to the one he loves, probably scared she'll dump him for some guy with a 6 digit salary.
I used to know of a couple back in AZ, near where I lived, where the guy made tons of bucks and she worked as a waitress, barely making ends meet, paycheck to paycheck. He made 4 times what she brought home. And he asked her to marry, all was set, until they went to go look at a new car, when her credit score was less than perfect because of her struggles over the years, he dumped her! Though she was trying to get on her feet, after losing her job because the store she worked at prior went out of business overnight, he could have simply not put her name on that car, which by the way was a nice Honda Civic, but no, he didnt want 'her credit to ruin him'! It wouldnt have, as long as he didnt use her name on the loan. She was heartbroken for months after that, but learned that money is important to some, and obviously, more important than what (was mistaken for) a love that would work through think and thin. I was invited to sing at that wedding.
Not sure if I made any sense here, and this is only my point of view, but my point here is simple. Money cant buy happiness.
Spoiler
I forgot to add, hooking up with a guy who make much more than you do can lead to rumors, gossip or 'assumptions' that youre only in t for the moeny anyway, and I want no part of that.
