Channel surfing the other night and saw a segment on Oprah where women in the audience rated a picture of 3 guys on a 1-10 scale. Then they took the pictures with a "profile" of each guy and interviewed women. The profile listed among other things how much the guys made. Results? The least attractive guy based on looks alone had the highest income ($325,000 I think) and one woman gave him a 10!!! The most attractive guy based on looks alone had an "income" of $22,500 and was rated least attractive by women who saw his profile. Most women gave the guy a 4-5.


The expert on with Oprah said it had to do with a basic instinct women have as to the importance of finding a man who can provide for children they may have, etc.
I saw was channel surfing and saw part of that show...and remembered why I hate the Oprah show. Those sheep in the audience believe anything she tells them.


I'm a healthy vibrant lady with a thriving libido and the dark haired guy in the middle was HOT!! The other two looked like doofuses! After they "revealed" their incomes...the dark haired guy in the middle was HOT!! The other two looked like doofuses. All women are NOT attracted to money. I am attracted to POWER! I have always been attracted to dark hair and dark eyes in men. They just look stronger, more intense, and MANLY to me. Never been into light hair or eyes. Light colors seem more feminine to me and make the man appear, well, woosey! Hee Hee! In order for me to be attracted to a blond haired-blue eyed guy, he would have to have a VERY powerful personality (See: Gordon Ramsay).


Those women "interviewed" were gold-digging dingbats.


And Oprah should have specified WHAT kind of attraction...


Maybe, to a woman seeking a husband, the ATTRACTION is the SECURITY of having a mate who is able to provide, not PHYSICAL. Like: the IDEA of being married to, say, Bill Gates would be attractive but he would still be a skinny dork with a small hard-drive...


Cuz, I don't know about you gals but the only thing that has made an ugly guy look good to me was a six pack...

I find most men that are very high earners (more than 150,000 or so) to be way too into their "power" for me to want anything to do with them


That is of course, if all that was listed was his picture and his income (what kind of shallow jerk would list only his income and nothing else? lol...).


I try to judge each person as an individual. I would date someone who earns truckloads of money, but he would have to earn my trust just as anyone would, but probably work even harder at it to make me beleive he is someone that could be down to earth and committed.

Why is that?

Ingytravel, thanks. I read your threat. That interests me to. A relative of mine (long list of doctors including my father and grandfather) co-authored "Human Sexual Response". Found out what they did in St. Louis when I was 15. Best summer ever! Think my dad sent me up there not to watch the Cardinals as usual but to learn about the "birds and bees"!


It is true we are all different. I deal with wealthy men who buy private aircraft and have been to their home, even stayed with them a few days and it is sad how many of them have traded their 1st wife for a trophy. The men know what it is about but don't care. Staying at a guy's house right now that traded in for a trophy wife. His wife is a scary crazy, a prescription drug addict and makes his life a living you know what. Guess in this case he is getting what he deserves. They think they are getting a beautiful younger woman who will want to have sex 2-3 times a day forever until they realize that wears off just like in any relationship.

Did I mention that I am wary of men who make a lot of money? lol

22K is an aweful low amount to earn. I think the question I would like answered is how much money does Mr. Good Looking have to earn so his income-adjusted rating equals his physical-only rating?





22K penalizes a man's rating


325K elevates a man's rating


Where is the median point you think? 60K? 100K?
Good question …


My experience has been that there is a sharp inflection point around women expecting her partner to make / have at least as much as she does. The same with height: So long as the man is not shorter than her height (usually expressed “in heels&rdquo, extra height doesn’t seem more desirable. Education falls into this pattern also.


Another pattern I’ve observed is her expectations being informed by her peer group and family background (parents are doctors seem especially to bring out this effect in young women, to the extant of demanding her dates be doctors.)

Easy. One who knows income to be the most important criteria to the target audience, as a great many men ardently believe, as is continually reinforced by high and lowbrow media, and no small amount of personal experience.


Or, one who tends to communicate in a quantitative manner. It took me years of dealing with dating before I had the quantitative detail pruned from my profiles.

A study like that would greatly depend on the standard of living of the location. Some places a single person would have a hard time paying the bills and other times a whole family could manage if using money wisely.


I think the results would have been drastically different if the income had been even $26,000 and definitely $30,000. Even at that though, it would depend on location as I doubt someone could live in New york or other big cities on that.

And if he is a true, genuine, 'man-in-power' he will cheat with multiple mistresses on that 'trophy' he dumped his first wife for ANYWAY. It just comes with the territory to the point that they feel not just compelled to do so, but obligated.


BTW; that is the explanation of my username, as I so totally despise men like this thatI must state that reprehension.


Sadly, so many women still admire them, and are even willing to put up with their abuse/cheating/disrespect,etc. due to their lust for gold/power.

For me as a man, without knowing personality I rate attractiveness on looks. However, the more money a woman makes above a certain point the LESS attracted I am to her.
you still haven't explained why you'd be less attracted to women who make more money....
