This is what I don't get. If you say careers and money add very little value to a woman, and men don't care about it, then why the hell am I seeing the same scenarios played out over and over again?
She's hot, but tiny income, he's some big schmuck that overpowers her in some form or fashion, be it in condescending comments, indirect insinuations, reminding her he foots the bill most times, taking less consideration of her opinion. F that. She's gotta make the sacrifices 'cause he's the big bad breadwinner.
She'd probably be in a better position if she had more money. All of us likely would. But that doesn't mean
he values her having more money. Just because something is better for a woman to have, doesn't mean it makes her more attractive. Having a low risk of heart disease and cancer is also a good thing for her to have. I've never said "Damn, that low risk of osteoporosis sure makes her a better prospect!".
I imagine he knew higher earning women. Yet he went with the hot one. That's because income is real, real low on the priority list. But his income was probably a big factor to her. It doesn't cut both ways.

So yes, career would rank in my top 10. Individual physical assets are kind of stupid to factor in because you can look at a girl and know if you are physically attracted to her or not.
How so? If you'd take it into consideration, it's a factor. I'm saying look at everything you consider in a partner. That includes both physical traits, and non-physical traits. Career is way down that list. So it's a terrible way to define "quality".
I think income is definitely in the top ten list for what women look for in men,
including physical traits. There is a massive difference in importance between how each gender views this.
