I don't agree. Money is just a sign of a characteristic that is more important to women, leadership.

You have to realize that the attraction women feel for men evolved in a much different environment from our current world. Women are often attracted to men that are leaders and show the signs of someone who will be good at controlling his environment and providing a stable, safe situation for the raising of children.



Actually money is very important because, like height, it is a heritable trait. It's like a legally designated addition to the DNA molecule.

Pop out a kid with a rich guy and you've got swanky child support and the kid gets a trust fund.


There are plenty of men with money that have a hard time attracting women. If you don't have the personality and (less important) physical traits women find attractive it's not going to happen.
