Pretty funny.
But it got me wondering. I wonder if the women in those videos would claim not to prefer wealthier guys but there actions prove otherwise. When you watch the video carefully, you will notice the women showing passive interest in the guy once he reveals he makes alot of money, to not make it obvious that she chose him only for that reason. The reason being he makes alot of money. Statistics say men who have more money have an 88% better chance with women then men without.

There's information, surveys, countless experiments that have been done to prove that women in fact prefer men with higher incomes.

However, women say other wise. So are women just flat out plain lying?

I dunno....

Women are increasingly becoming the bread winners in families, with higher incomes than their spouses/significant others. My guess is that they didn't go for their spouse "for the money."

Yes. All women are lying to you. The only reason for your failure is your checking account.

V, if you want to cling to the idea of owning a strip club, who are we to deny you? Pick up a mega-pack of wet wipes at Costco and just go for it, man.

Never listen to what women say. Watch what they do.

True that.

Social Desirability Bias

To be fair, men do it too...just on different topics. It's not so much "lying" as it is "lying to yourself". The people in these studies could pass lie detectors about their responses...they really do believe they're telling the truth.

Just come to terms with the fact that it's a factor. People that want to be difficult will argue "but it's not the ONLY factor!" or "not ALL women are like that!" Of course, both these statements are true. So the options are:

1) Complain about it
2) Do something about it
3) Do something about the other factors of attraction
4) Do nothing

I've found that a mix of the first three was the most appropriate for me, YMMV.

Someone could go and make a video of a woman in a "fat suit" getting rejected by a man for her looks and then come back conventionally "hot" without the fat suit and then criticize how he changes his mind too... saying men only care about hot women and nothing else. But that doesn't make it universally true because one guy in an edited prank, entertainment video did that... same here.
