And many of them are socially awkward in a variety of ways. Many have striven for that successful lifestyle, because they believe it directly translates into credibility and points with potential love interests. While being successful certainly doesn't hurt, making that your entire game plan for a romantic relationship usually does not bode well. Especially when you can't hold a relevant conversation outside of how successful you are.
I've avoided references to my affluence although the signs are there in my profile for smart women.
I don't demean a man's "market value." I'd be silly to do that. I'd be competing career successful me up against deadbeats. A woman would have to go a lot before picking a deadbeat over a successful man.
These are just stark facts that you can hide but eventually they out.
It's nice to be affluent but not broadcast the fact, and then perhaps find your date pleasantly surprised when you reveal that you are better off than average.
But it's totally lame to expect your affluence to get you women. If you depend on that you will get gold digger women.
It's not that it isn't "hard science" or even common sense. It's just an issue of coming to terms with the fact that our inherent characteristics are not always the most flattering. But major problems in society arise when people deny their own nature and pretend to be something else.

I sleep on my right side, and my fiance sleeps on her left.
She is disgusted by beef products, and I love them (though I rarely eat them for health reasons).
I love going on long, 60 mile bike rides, and she does not do long rides.
We are different people. We like different things. We do different things. We eat different things. Yet, here we are together.
You'll notice on that Wiki that there are a lot of different theories and philosophies, indicating that there is no clearly defined state of "human nature". Even Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is just a theory.

I think the amount of evidence we've collected over the centuries is sufficient to attribute certain characteristic to humans. But I suppose we can agree to disagree.
