BlackCrayon made a good point. In the good old days, women needed to find a good provider; and create a stable, lasting relationship. This has been been removed from the equation. Nowadays, women free to choose a mate based on, well what's left? Stupid shit, such as superficiality. Or someone she feels her friends will be impressed by.
And it sounds like a good idea,. But when you look at how these relationships typically end (violence, abuse, drug-addiction, being cheated on, pregnant and single) it seems to indicate that women in general (not all, of course) are very inept at choosing a mate who's actually good for them. I'm almost inclined to believe they don't want a mate like that.
Other women simply feel no one is good enough for them. They're princesses, and all guys they meet are merely peons worthy only of contempt. Their standards are so high, an ideal mate doesn't actually exist in the real world. Bizarre, but true.
So yeah, this survey finding comes as no surprise to me.
