Here's what I think from what I've read in literatures and small study..
Looking back on relationships there seems to be the two factors that could contribute to what women like in a MAN
The Two: Unconscious "Reality" and Conscious Ideal
in other words.. the MAN of your dreams and the MAN with the money(and other things..doesn't have to be only money ya know..)
In the ideal, women will want the guy depending on their taste
whether they love someone romantic...smart...a good cook..crazy in bed(this opens a category on it's own really XD) and a vast option of other qualities.. this becomes the build on what the women wants.. all her fantasy needs are collected on those ideal catagories
In the "reality",.. let's look at animals.. most animals will look for the male who could provide powerful children while protecting her.. that is a strong male.. in humans that is the same concept but probably more so with the idea of making big money and perhaps a strong build
This reality isn't looked upon as a real "reality" because as humans we are aware and have versatile thinking, unlike any animal. This is why The Two: Unconscious "Reality" and Conscious Ideal work together.
A women will try to look for the ideal man while checking for the potential and capability of making big money and no struggle .. and kids if she wants. This is why through the years women have been passing their genes to provide their sexy body. (usually with full chest and wide hips) In this way they attract their ideal man and vice versa.. and once that ideal man is able to grasp "reality" that would be The MAN of their Dreams..or in other words "Making her dreams comes true"
