More than 1,800 heterosexual British women aged between 18 and 35 were quizzed about their preferences in men.

Women who had money problems rated the financial status of a man as being more important than his looks - but women who were financially secure gave their preference to physical attractiveness.

The research, conducted by a team from University of St. Andrews, Scotland, has reported this in New Scientist, the British scientific weekly.
