Actually, the data indicates more clearly that women are attracted to the things that CREATE wealth. Those would be Openness to New Experiences, Conscienciousness (on the Big Five) and Intelligence (just IQ is fine). Look up the work of Jordan Peterson if you're interested. He did some research on this, dunno if he published it, though. Anyhoo, in his study, women picked the rich, productive guy (ie had the above traits), then the poor, productive guy, then the rich, useless guy, then the poor, useless guy, if I recall correctly.
That makes more sense, too, no? Back in the good ol' days, most forms of "wealth" would just spoil and rot within a few days, so it's more important to be able to know how to fish than to have a lot of fish.
It's a bad idea to pick scientific principles to be axioms of your reality. They're usually low correlation and prone to changing. There are serious issues with evolutionary psych. Especially anything from psych is not like the laws of physics. It's not really "exceptions" but more like, a lot of things just don't apply in a certain percentage of the cases. Even in Seligman's learned helplessness experiments, a third or somin of the dogs just couldn't be trained to be helpless.
But all the above was just cause I was interested, but I know I won't change your mind. You already think you know better. Now I'm more interested in why you would post this here as your first few posts. Seeking attention, perhaps? Or perhaps you do want everyone to jump out and say "no don't!"? I'm not sure what game you're playing, but I sure hope you do.
In any case, congratz on your decision! Have fun!
