[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me help you:
If he is rich: a kind woman with her own financial resources who will think everything he does is great. If she is not already financially independent she needs to be smoking hot but also intelligent/educated and presentable. Unless he is an ahole, in which case smoking hot alone will suffice.
If he is poor: a nonjudgmental mother type to tell them they aren’t a loser.[/quote]

I have to say I agree with the "if he is rich" list.  I have a friend who dates rich old men and she meets these descriptions (always broke, but beautiful, charming, educated, well-traveled and sophisticated (thanks to all of the rich dudes she has dated).[/quote]

I have observed the same thing - rich older men want beautiful, fit, educated women with some shared hobbies, like skiing and golf.  They don't really care if she's broke, as long as she doesn't have kids or is done raising kids and they are fully launched.  Part of why they don't care is because (1) they are already rich, and (2) if they ever remarry, they will require a prenup that will protect their exising wealth, and they aren't as worried about future wealth because they are done making money anyway, so they have very little to lose in a 2nd, 3rd of 4th marriage.  I think some rich men prefer beautiful but broke women because their money gives them power and control in the relationship. [/quote]

Yep, a broke nice woman will tolerate a lot of crap from him for the lifestyle. She probably will stick around till his death as prenup won’t give her anything if she divorced him. A financial prison.

But these are the outliers. What are just average professional men looking for? [/quote]

She won't get much in his death either - she'll get the spousal elective share in the form of a trust that she doesn't control.  She'll get her allowance and no more, stuck forever in his financial prison.  That's why women should make their own money. [/quote]
