Why women are changing their minds about men

WHAT do women want from a man? In the past, surveys have
overwhelmingly shown that women want a rich man, and men want a
good-looking woman. While not much has changed for men, as women's
financial independence has increased, it seems that their preferences
have changed.

Fhionna Moore and colleagues at the University of St Andrews, UK,
analysed questionnaires from 1851 heterosexual women between the ages
of 18 and 35. They found that as a woman's level of "resource control"
increases - in other words as they become more financially independent
- so does their preference for physical attractiveness in potential
partners.

Women who had low levels of control over their cash rated the financial
status of a man over his looks. Those with a decent source of income
rated physical attractiveness more highly. The study will appear in
Evolution and Human Behavior.

Economic constraints on women are not as strong as they were 50 years
ago, Moore says. "It is this change in comparison to historical
constraints that I believe influences mate preferences."

Questionnaires are one thing, but what do women do in real life? Moore
says that a study she is working on suggests that the same relationship
exists between a woman's resource control and the characteristics that
attracted her to her current partner.

We recommend that men who aren't already there get down to the gym, and
moisturise.

I wonder if these girlies will still like it when they want to have
kids and that buff, hunkie, low wage earner can't support them so
they'll have to keep working while *he* stays at home with the kids,
"strategically" dumps her and because he's the "primary care giver" ends
up with half (or more) of everything she's worked to get AND whopping
high CS and spousal support to boot :-) ?

You seem to be vainly assuming that all good looking guys with gym
memberships and moisturizer are "low wage earners". I have news for
you, dear; men who have money to BUY gym memberships are probably more
well-healed than men like you....ooops ....I mean men who can't. (same
thing really).

I wonder how many of them will find out that the lyrics of the old song
"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty
woman your wife" are right because their hunkie boy-toy is boffing all
of their friends too ;-)

Women who can write their own ticket not only choose men for reasons
other than security, but also choose men who can commit. They,
themselves, no longer have to worry so much about marrying Mr. Rich
while "boffing" all his friends as well as the pool boy. Today, women
are simply freer to make other choices.
