Wealth is quite important for women. In most cases, poor women can only pick males that are committed enough to all her financial need.

Such males are not usually very attractive. Why in the earth can a highly attractive male that can mate with so many pretty females without any commitment would bother committing his life to an average woman?

Being rich means women will allow women to pick more desirable even richer mates. Rich women aim for males that are even richer.

Common poverty is bad for women because women will not have enough rich smart males to choose from when the countries are poor. So they end up fire selling their talent to richer countries and earn less money for the same beauty and talent women in rich countries earn.

So yes, wealth is important for women. Women need wealth to ensure that all her kids go to college and are well fed. Women need wealth for luxuries, presents, and expensive dinners they crave. Is wealth important for males? Males don’t enjoy luxury as much. Males don’t get pregnant. Males don’t need to love their kids to survive in the gene pool and can simply make way more kids replacing those that die starving by injecting more sperms.

Males have less maintenance cost. Males are less demanding. Is wealth important for males? You bet
