Damn....that's a good point.No. It's money/status and nothing else.
Women use looks simply as a qualifier. Meaning you now qualify to prove yourself as a competent provider. Women with options (AKA young and attractive) are not wasting their time with men who bring nothing but beauty to the table. Especially long term. Sure looks can get you laid as a guy in your teens and early 20s. But once you get past the college years the only women who'll let you be in a relationship with them as a broke good looking man are ugly fat women.
Go to the rich part of whatever city you live in. Go to the shopping centers or grocery stores. Then look at the middle age women. Compare that to the middle age women in the poor part of town.
The men in both sides of town are the same. Average looking. It's the women that are very different. I always am amazed by how much better shape the rich women are than the poor women. They know the only way they can keep their rich husband is to be in shape. And that's what they do.
If you think money isn't important then you're simply a broke dude trying to cope.
The only observable difference between richer and poorer men is what they drive and how they dress. Actual looks doesn't seem to be that different.
The Super Target and Walmart stores in my area are like 0.5 miles apart. Difference in women is night and day. Women with money spend a lot more time doing spa days, nail salon, spin classes etc. Poorer women look good off genetics.
