Wealth and status still ultimately attracts women. It's just that the percentage of men that has the level of wealth and status that will undeniably attract women are a very small minority. Whereas in the 50's and 60's, the average man could have the level of wealth and status to attract women by simply having a decent job. Looks are necessary or a damn near deal breaker if you don't posses the top 5% of status or wealth as a man to attract desirable women.
