I saw a study on this once, but can’t find it now. They took a bunch of guys and had women rate their attractiveness on looks alone first. Then they made up profiles for them, giving the least attractive ones great jobs and salary, and the most attractive shitty jobs and salary.

Then they took these profiles to women and had them rate the guys attractiveness. Participants were instructed just to rate the attractiveness, even though the profile info was right there on the page.

The women found the high-income guys the most attractive, irrespective of the earlier, pre-profile ratings.

Well, duh. Not starving or freezing to death, or having to live in a dangerous neighborhood, sounds like a pretty attractive deal to me.

There's a reason why high income correllates to paternity.
