All this proves is that gold-diggers would date a man they had no attraction to.

The previously referenced study involved asking study participants to rate mens’ attractiveness on a scale of 1-10 based on a picture sitting in a car. They were not asking about dating, just rating how attractive the guys were.</p>

Personality means nothing, and there is no study you can link that can demonstrate women can be more forgiving of unattractive men with good personalities. Personality confers no evolutionary advantage to one’s offspring, and now that more and more women are becoming educated and earning salaries that either rival or exceed their significant others’, status and financial security are completely seen as useless qualities in men by most women these days.

There are hundreds of studies showing women desire particular personality traits in a partner, and males with those traits appear more attractive, many of which focus on the evolutionary basis for desiring those traits. One of many possible example studies is discussed at <a href=“BBC News - Dating study: women prefer 'men who are kind'”>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8505641.stm&lt;/a&gt; . The author states,</p>

<p>*“We found that women showed a strong preference for relationships with altruistic men in this study, even though the clues to altruistic traits were fairly subtle. This suggests that women are attuned to generosity, and that altruism serves a purpose in mate selection. If a man is kind and generous towards others - even strangers - then there’s a good chance that he’d make a good and generous parent.” *</p>
