The classic question. Which man will most women find more attractive, other things being equal?

A. A man who is good-looking, goes to the gym, and keeps his body in very good shape, but earns $40,000 / yr.

B. A man with subpar looks, balding, a bit of a beer belly, but earns a six-figure salary.

Me? - neither. But I would guess - depends on woman age...some will go with one or the another. Older, independent, professional woman will probably go with gigolo type of men, to show up. Younger ones would probably go after the materialistic thing. But I would not generalize. There are plenty of men in between.

You can't say what's more attractive because $$ = looks

Neither would be my choice.

You forgot Brains.

Looks are important when you're young.

Brains are important when you're middle aged.

Money is important when you're older.

Me... Fortunately, I've got all 3.

Balding with a beer belly/love handles? I'd pass. I wouldn't want to be with someone I wasn't attracted to and who wasn't into keeping fit.

I would say looks first because there is no way to tell if that guy has 'money' first.

There are men who will average to earn $40K a year and end up being a multi-millionaire.

Since you didn't say otherwise, I'll assume that the good looking man has a personality that meshes well with mine, has a great sense of humor and knows how to live within his means...and I'd pick him.

I guess we will never know what women really want. I would consider myself to be the good-looking but broke guy, and i can't get a girl to look at me. So i'm leaning toward money.
