Good-looking rich men not as desirable

A psychological study out of Britain showed that women tend to stay away from men who are both physically attractive and have money

"Overall, the better looking men were rated as more attractive, as were those men with higher status.

"Crucially, however, there was an interaction between facial attractiveness and status, such that good-looking men with high status were actually rated as less attractive than good-looking men of medium status. The researchers said this reflected the female strategy of avoiding men who are more likely to be unfaithful in the future."

Women don't want guys who are too good, because they are too desirable and might cheat? That's what this seems to indicate.

When it comes to cheating, rich good looking guys, have it made. I read a study where those guys are more than 25% more likely to cheat because they can financially arrange for trysts and are more of a magnet. While this study indicates that they may be considered not as desirable, trust me, there is no shortage of women waiting to drape themselves over these guys. They want the men for the lifestyle and eventually they get it. Even if they are miserable they don't leave the guy because they get everything they want from them, materially. They may have an affair with the plumber, but that's okay because she knows he's sleeping with the secretary. I personally wouldn't go for that life, because I'd be miserable, but that's just me.
