I do not blame women at all for this, totally understandable, but if you are older man without plenty of money, forget it, even if you look OK and are a nice guy, women want the successful man, and why not eh? I'd do the same. Who wants to spend the rest of life scrabbling for money?

Blame should really not enter into the picture. Just because men and women have asymmetrical strategies it don't make one of them more wrong or right. The reason I brought it up is that understanding asymmetrical strategies is key to reach common ground in gender discussion.

It's almost as if men : youth :: women : wealth.

Maybe. I like women of any age really.

The most appealing thing to me is when I feel comfortable with a woman and have a personality connection PLUS physically attracted.

In general however I think you are spot on correct.
