Girls, How much does education/credentials/success affect your perception of attractiveness?

[Anonymous]

Let’s say, for example, a man is average looking (5-6 or so on scale of 1-10) but is an Ivy-League educated lawyer or banker or doctor that has very likely earning potential >$1MM+.

Let’s also assume he’s generally a nice guy and not a douche.

The financial side is irrelevant. My partner and I met while at uni doing our doctorates. We have the same intellect, the same sense of humour, have so much in common. As students for 7 1/2 years, we were almost destitute. An unsolicited act of kindness won my heart instantly. Looks and wealth are not important. Being soul mates is. He would be the first to admit he is average in looks, but his heart of gold trumps anything else.

It definitely helps, there's a reason why most girls have a standard for how much a man should make.

I didn’t know that women have a standard for a guy’s income

Pretty much all of that is less relevant than the question of how much is he trying and being smart about how he's trying.
