Wanted: Men with money, power and fame

Women are often attracted to men because of their wealth, fame and power, but is there more to this phenomenon than meets the eye?
Most people assume that women are attracted to men with money, power and fame because of those three attributes and not because of the man himself.
While there are, no doubt, some women who are primarily interested in those elements, there may be a more fundamental, primeval motivation for women seeking out these types of men.
Survival of the fittest?
This reason could very well be related to Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ theory. In the animal kingdom, it’s usually the strongest, fastest and most powerful males who get the best mates to ensure their line.
This could also be a factor in why women are attracted more to men with a lot of money, who have power, or who are famous.
These men are often viewed as being superior on some level, whether or not this is a conscious decision, and superior mates are vital for the survival of the species.
While physical appearance and prowess are certainly an indication of good genes, success and intelligence are also important factors in a mate.
How men are portrayed in the media
This phenomenon could also be related to the images of ‘ideal men’ women are provided by the the media. How many Disney princes were actually poor, weak toads? None! From very young ages girls are exposed to the idea that the perfect man will be able to provide a good income, will be outgoing and popular with other people, and will also be influential. 

The media also often portrays these men in a very flattering light, which allows women to develop certain fantasies about what life with that man would be like. This can have the knock-on effect of women then being willing actively to pursue a relationship with the man in the media. Unfortunately when reality strikes, these are also often the couples who end up divorced.
Sometimes women just want someone who can look after them and their families
Society tends to think that people who are wealthy and powerful are somehow more trustworthy and smarter than the rest of the population. What woman doesn’t want someone who’s intelligent and who can provide her with a comfortable life?
Many women are looking to return to the days when they didn’t have to work for a living and were able to be the stay-at-home mom whose primary concern is raising her family.

Men with fame, power, and money somehow come across to many women as being more sensitive, more charismatic, and maybe even better in bed. It’s really about how the woman thinks the man is going to make her feel that is the real attraction.

Does this mean that men who don’t have a lot of money, who aren’t super-powerful, and who don’t make the nightly news should be overlooked? Absolutely not. They just might have to work to get a woman’s attention first.
