What women really want – money: Research finds women look for well-paid job first in partner
By DAVID GARDNER FOR MAILONLINE
Women may say they are looking for tights abs or a sense of humour in their man, but he had better have a healthy bank balance to go with it.
According to new research published yesterday in Germany, more women are using money as overriding criteria for choosing their partners.
With women getting better jobs, they are looking for their men to have a spending power to match, said the study.
Taking control: Good looks or a sense of humour are increasingly taking a back seat to money when it comes to the criteria women use to find a partner, according to new research in Germany
The Cologne-based Institute for the German Economy claimed women quizzed in a survey said they wanted to avoid stress and confrontation over big differences in earnings.
The findings showed that the number of households in which one person earns much more than the other has decreased in the ten years between 1998 and 2008.
At the same time, couples with two average or high earners increased from 27.9 per cent to 30.5 per cent.
Couples that included a high earner and a low earner in the relationship decreased by 2.8 per cent from 28.6 to 25.8 per cent in the same time span.
At the same time the inequality of net incomes - or the gap between rich and poor couples - has risen by 15 per cent in Germany between 1998 and 2008, said German researchers.
In a controversial study published in January by London School of Economics Professor Dr Catherine Hakim, more women were said to prefer to marry a man earning more than they do.
According to the poll, 64 per cent said they aspire to find a husband bringing home more money. None wanted to marry a man who earned less.
Dr Hakim claimed more women were choosing to ‘marry up’ by picking wealthy men for their spouse than in the 1940s.
After decades of gender equality campaigning many women now find it hard to admit that they want to be a housewife more than they want a successful career of their own, she said.
Marriage of equals: In the 10 years between 1998 and 2008 the number of couples with unequal incomes had decreased
In another recent YouGov survey, 62 per cent of women said their husbands earned more than them. Only 16 per cent earned more than their husbands while 18 per cent earned the same.
Even these days women often earn a lot less than men performing the same jobs, and 41 years after the Equal Pay act came into force, the gender pay gap remains wide.
The Office for National Statistics' annual survey of hours and earnings shows that men still earn vastly more than women with an average salary of £28,091, compared to £22,490 - a difference of 19.9 per cent.
But it seems a good sense of humour is still high on the list of 'wants' when it comes to British women. Various studies over the last few years have confirmed that humour is the way to a woman's heart, and a survey carried out in 2009 explained why: A GSOH demonstrates intelligence.
According to the 2009 research presented at the British Psychological Society Annual Conference in Brighton, women rate funny men as more intelligent than guys with no sense of humour.
'Over the course of history, women actively look for signs that their man is intelligent, and I believe the ability to actively judge the situation and pull off a joke and make you laugh is an intelligent feat,' said Kristofor McCarty, a researcher at Northumbria University in Newcastle.
In other words, water is wet. We MGTOWs have known about this for a long time now but these studies give us the genuine, scientific and mathematical backing we need when we make statements about female hypergamy, regardless of gender equality reforms. So the next time some fool tries to dismiss claims of female hypergamy, just bring these 2 studies up and that should shut their mouth up or cause them to go on a hamsterbation meltdown.
Additionally, it also shows that equality and egalitarian reforms are bullshit. They did not change the male-female interaction, in fact, they merely amplified it. The women who tell you that "They don't need no man because they are working and making their own money" are a bunch of lying gold digging whores. Dat lizard brain wants teh money and teh disposability, despite modernity and despite equality initiatives.
In conclusion :-
1) Hypergamy is real and has been demonstrated by scientifically rigorous research. Anyone who says otherwise or denies hypergamy is the equivalent of a geocentrist fool.
2) Hypergamy will not be stemmed or be changed or be dimmed by feminist claims or egalitarian principles or by equality reforms. Biology is really a bitch.
Cheers.
