When selecting a one-night stand, a heterosexual woman who is materialistic is a trillion times more likely to choose a sexually unattractive poor man who seems rich over a sexually attractive rich man who seems poor.

About This Quote

Even though the male who is poor seems, on the surface, to be less attractive, he is more likely to be chosen by a woman because he is "rich" in other ways. When women are choosing between two men, their ability to select one or the other is based on how wealthy they have judged each man to be. Wealthy men are attractive because they have more of the "things" that women value. They have cars that are shiny and new, clothes that are fashionable and new, houses that are big and expensive, etc.

A poor man may have these things, but they are old and worn out. A rich man can afford new things.
