women become more financially independent, they seek older, more attractive male partners

According to a new study, as women become more financially independent, they seek older, more attractive male partners.As women earn more money their tastes actually change, says researchers of a new study conducted by University of Abertay Dundee.Women place greater emphasis on whether a man can provide for them when they are choosing a new partner, previous work has found.The study also found that greater financial independence gives women greater confidence in choosing their partner, and instinctive preferences for material stability and security become less important.The Scotsman quoted lead researcher Fhionna Moore, of the University of Abertay Dundee, as saying that, "We'd assumed that as women earn more, their partner preferences would actually become more like those of men, with a tendency towards preferring younger, more attractive partners rather than those who can provide and care for children."Moore added, "However, the preferred age difference did not change as we had expected."The findings were published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology.
