Are Women Gold Diggers?

How important is having money as a man when it comes to dating?

Money rules the world. But does it also rule the dating world?

An interesting experiment reported by the well-known psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson provides the scientific answer.

Before we take a closer look at the study, I’d like to briefly share my guess.

Before I saw the results, I thought that money does definitely play a role. And I wouldn’t judge women for that.

It’s just that a certain amount of financial stability is extremely important. Especially when you have to choose a partner with whom you can potentially have children. After all, the child has to be fed and you want to be able to offer them something. You can’t have money problems in this situation.

The Study

The participating women were shown the same picture of a man four times. However, there was different additional information about the pictures. The men were shown in different professional situations. The whole process was repeated with several men.

The four different conditions were:

poor and useless
rich and useless
poor and useful
rich and useful

The rich and useless guy had won the lottery and the poor and useful guy worked for a charity organization.

The women were asked to rate the men on several criteria, including dateability and attractiveness as a long-term partner.

The Results

The useful men were rated high in openness and conscientiousness. These traits are good markers for intelligence and a good work ethic, which in turn are the best predictors of socio-economic status.

That the rich and useful guy is attractive and the poor useless guy is not attractive should be clear.

The interesting question is which of the remaining two is more attractive.

In fact, the poor and useful guy has been valued much more attractively. Wealth had no main effect on the women’s ratings. The only main effect was usefulness.

Women are not after resources, but much more after the qualities that predict resources.

Here you can find a video in which Peterson himself explains the results of this study.
