No, see, you don't understand what I am talking about. I am actually talking about looks. You are talking about wanting to be with someone for money. What I am talking about is biological. In general, women perceive men who are wealthy and more successful to be more attractive than their looks alone would warrant. Their perception of the man's physical characteristics is in part dependant on their perception of his status in life. It is as if there is an emotional filter between the retina and the visual cortex of a woman.
Men are more purely visual. What you see is less colored by your emotions. The visual stimuli goes directly from the retina to the optic nerve to the visual cortex and beyond without being filtered.
