I understand that even until quite recently, women looking for a partner would consider strength, fitness and health as important factors. This, I suppose was to increase the likelihood of having healthy childern. With advances in medicine and general social conditions, traits such as sense of humour and intelligence were becoming more important. However, I read an opinion poll in the paper the other day that the most important single factor that women looked for was how much money the man earns. Some saying that they looked for a partner who earns £50k others putting the acceptable salary as £100k. While I'm alright (yes I'm one of those deplorable, fat-cat City bankers that everyone hates), what has the world come to? Do you agree that so much emphasis should be placed on money and will marrying someone for this reason really mean that you'll be happy?
