Women according to David Buss are attracted to many things in a man; I generally put them into 4 categories
1. High resources or high resource potential
2. Physical size mostly height
3. Looks
4. Personality characteristics
Of the four, which is most important?
I got to thinking about Hugh Hefner. Hugh Hefner is 86 years old. On the surface, he should have a low evolutionary currency or EC. EC being the ability to attract high quality mates. His age is the problem. Though a bigger issue in woman, age lowers EC in both men and women. Now if you really think about it (I say that a lot), Mr. Hefner would be extremely fortunate to marry an unattractive women in her late 50s. Yet we see he has married a 26 year old! Not any 26 year old either. But one of very high EC. We then look at the 4 things; which is Mr. Hefner the highest in. We can knock out qualities 2 and 3 which leaves us with 1 and 4. Which quality stands out more. Though Mr. Hefner might have terrific personality, I think quality 1 is the one to focus on. Without being wealthy quality 4 is probably moot. If you don't have a way of meeting Crystal Hefner, then your personality doesn't matter.
