Regardless of how much we try to be politically correct, we always suspect that men seek beauty and women seek wealth in the dating game.  It’s evolution.  A beautiful woman is more likely to be fertile and possess good genes.  Similarly, a successful man can provide the resources necessary to raise children.  In the simplistic world of the past, such a system was helpful.  After all, when people had to hunt and farm for their own food, survival depended quite a bit on being born healthy and robust.  This evolutionary instinct survives to today.  Recent research has shown that women place importance on monetary factors, while men seek attractiveness in their partners.  In other words, the criteria for mating have not evolved.
