It’s not just money though…. It’s status, clout, financial security, the ability to be spontaneous without scraping pennies together. Basically a woman is naturally attracted to (although not always consciously aware of the attraction) someone who is well known, well liked, not poor. And then the looks, humour, etc comes as a bonus.
For example, I moved to a new town not too long ago. Met a bunch of people and started hanging round with them at pubs, etc. I was the outsider really, the others were well known, they could walk down the street and be stopped 5 times in a 2 minute walk, they walk into a pub – they know the bar staff, etc. I got with this girl on a night out who was also friends with the group. I let on that I was pretty broke before getting in with her. She also knew I didn’t know many people in the area. In the next month I tried to get her out, for a drink or meal…. Turns out she started going out with this guy in the group who knew everyone in town, was older than me & therefore had more money. This guy is short & weird looking, not handsome at all… Whereas (just to prove a point) I get compliments and girls staring at me.
When girls look at a potential partner, they consider how much fun they could have with them and how much stress they may have with them. If a guy is well known, rich and well liked, chances are, a relationship with that person will be stress free and fun.
