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.

I understand what you are saying, and
in general I cannot disagree that a huge pile of cash or a great sense of humor makes someone appear more attractive than if you just saw their photo and had no idea of their financial means or personality -- but there are some men who are just so butt-ugly and so devoid of personality, that no matter how rich they are, they are still unattractive, boring and ugly, so that it is clear that the money is all she's seeing.
