Maybe back in the 50's when the male was the single bread winner. We are way past the cave man era and two incomes is the norm. You would be very hard pressed to find many families who can afford to survive on just one income.descartes said:I have dated many women, and moreover have many female friends and despite whatever lame characteristics they say they seek in a mate (sense of humour, compassion, sensitivity) - it's ALL bullshit. At a basic, primal, undeniable level, all women want a guy that is successful and can provide at some point.
Also, if your theory is true, then all women would gravitate towards the top earners, leaving crap women for the average populations. I see the opposite. When I look at my circle of friends, I see guys in the 'low desirability scale' with lower paying jobs hook up with incredible women, while a couple of managing directors at the brokerages have nothing. These people epitomizes your two criteria, with quarterly bonuses reaching/exceeding 6 figures and high powered jobs. There has to be more. Maybe compatibility??? hmmmm....
