Being able to manage money makes people more attractive to the opposite sex than good dress sense or owning your own home, according to Halifax research.
Ninety-one per cent rank a good personality as the most appealing characteristic in a potential partner, followed by 89 per cent who rate a good sense of humour highly.
Skill with personal finances ranks alongside good looks and physical attractiveness at 65 per cent. A frugal attitude to money is admired but ostentatious displays of wealth and a big bank account were voted a turn-off.
Sixty per cent cite a person with no big debts as very important factor when choosing a partner.
Men place greater importance on dress sense and good looks while women are more interested in work ethic, stable income and a good job.

Re: Comment

So that's what the ladies mean when they say that they like a man with a large packet?! :lol

I'm always amazed that researchers can pinpoint the things that women are looking for in a man, when women themselves don't seem capable to pinpointing what they're looking for in a pair of shoes.

But do you really want to spend the rest of your life with a woman who doesn't appreciate a Ferrari?

For more on what interests women, check out Bill Hicks talking about Death Row Inmates getting marriage proposals.

This post was such a long time ago now...

...but to answer that question...

...I could never love a woman who did not love me for my ferrari.

Sure they must be all mad anyway. If I was a woman I would not want to sleep beside something that was hairy, snored a lot and got excited at the drop of a hat :)
 
Sounds like a slobbery oul red setter....

I've been called worse.
