Would you drop your standards if he/she was wealthy?

I’m asking this in no shame. Would you drop your standards if you found out potential interest is wealthy?

If he is still attractive but overweight, but owns a multi million pound property, would you ignore the weight issue?

Nope. I can’t fake any aspect of attraction

Not an issue for me as I’m a high earner in my own right. That said, I do look at a couple of women I know, reflect on their pretty unappealing husbands and think ‘so what was it that attracted you to this dull, plain high earning accountant?’

Women love a rich man..... Just look around you, rich men usually have young, beautiful wives.... When I was poor and struggling, no woman would give me the time of day, no matter how kind and witty I was ....so let's call a spade a spade ..... Yes, you should date him, that's what women do.

I'm really un-attracted to over weight / unfit men.

If a man was unattractive in another way, yet still had a brill personality I'd go for it.

This is a pretty well established result psychology / human behaviour. The answer is "yes".

Quote from the abstract:

"Parental investment hypotheses regarding mate selection suggest that human males should seek partners featured by youth and high fertility. However, females should be more sensitive to resources that can be invested on themselves and their offspring.

Previous studies indicate that economic status is indeed important in male attractiveness. However, no previous study has quantified and compared the impact of equivalent resources on male and female attractiveness. Annual salary is a direct way to evaluate economic status. Here, we combined images of male and female body shape with information on annual salary to elucidate the influence of economic status on the attractiveness ratings by opposite sex raters in American, Chinese and European populations. We found that ratings of attractiveness were around 1000 times more sensitive to salary for females rating males,compared to males rating females.

These results indicate that higher economic status can offset lower physical attractiveness in men much more easily than in women. Neither raters' BMI nor age influenced this effect for females rating male attractiveness. This difference explains many features of human mating behavior and may pose a barrier for male engagement in low-consumption lifestyles."

I would only go out with someone I was attracted to.

I've been asked out recently by 2 wealthy men.
Both have nice personalities but are in their late 50s (I'm only 42).
So too old for me.

One is very healthy but lives with his elderly mother. He's very into yoga & I find him a bit 'out there' for me.
The other man is very overweight & has health problems. Hes retired. He's on my Facebook constantly traveling & going on holiday.

The thing is I'm unhappy being single, i would like to meet a man who is nice like these men but I also have to find him physically attractive. I couldn't fake it with these two men. It would be unfair on them.

I also want a baby & I think a much older man wouldn't appreciate that or cope with it physically.. however I could then afford a nanny!

The wealthy lifestyle is appealing as I'm a care assistant & don't have a chance of that kind of lifestyle on my wage.

But like I said I need that physical attraction & connection.
