      A person with a rewarding job is a person who is competent in the world, and I admire competence. Inherited wealth tends to create a spoiled brat, but a person with money he earned is a person who is hard-working and capable.
      
      So, money.

   Looks and/or money would be nice extras, but neither alone cuts it as far as I'm concerned.  Looks-wise, I'd just want it to be someone who I found attractive (regardless of looks).  Money-wise, I'm not necessarily impressed by someone else's money.

                  Oh sure not a problem. Just another notch on the old coffin post, right?
                  But to stay on subject, I find it to be somewhat of a curse that I'm good looking. Most women assume I'm a womanizer and the rest seem to assume I have very little else to offer. Of course, most women tell me I'm too picky. I only want a mature comitment-oriented woman with looks and brains and talent and the sexdrive of a Klingon. I really dont think that constitutes being 'picky'.

                     not picky at all! You know what you want. Back in the day when I was 'looking' I didn't really know what I wanted, so I went with what felt right. I knew how to differentiate between a strong attraction and actual compatibility, and I met a few men whom I felt a very strong attraction but I knew it wouldn't last a month. I picked the right man for me, but until that moment I kept all my options open. You just never know who the right person is.

                  Just enjoy doing 'other stuff', ie working,hobbies,gym(jogging a good one) socialising with the intent to enjoy yourself and not to 'look' for someone, and before ya know it will happen.
                  
                  Often the most attractive people are the ones who are 'not looking'
                  
                  Dont ever sell ya'self short either (not saying you do)
                  You are a good looking guy ,smart ,coupled with a delightful personality.

            I like people who are genuine. The biggest turn off for me is when a man pretends to be something he's not... either acting cool to try to impress me or his friends, or hiding who he truly is to not get hurt. I like my man to be simple and easy to read. Looks are not that important and money is not as important as much as the intention and effort to help keep a financial stability.

   Some people care only about their reputation alot and only wishes to be seen with someone who's vigourously attractive. They are cruel-hearted and greedy, and most of them don't even realise it yet.
   
   Repuation comes before money, because what you have defines what you are as a person. They don't realise, that having a well-built man or a georgous busty woman is not as wealthy as having someone who's accually there for you and loves you more than they love themselves.
   
   I'm not an assuming person often, and it does scare me sometimes, if girls care about money and repuation more than love. We live in a shallow world, but there are some women out who do prefer to sale them off to ugly old millionaires for anything.

          I'm an attractive woman, I have my own business, I'm well educated, I take good care of myself so I'm in great shape and look many years younger than my age, but guys always seem to get just a little bit more interested in me after one of my friends drops the "Money" bomb.  I am never sure if it's me that attracts them or my bank account.

    This question is a tad unfair.
    
    Choosing looks over money may make your ego happy for a while but if all he has to offer is good looks then it won't be long before you discover that isn't enough.
    
    Choosing money over looks may mean that you are financially stable but that also does not equate to happiness.  What difference does it make if you have all the things money can buy if you aren't attracted to your spouse? 
    
    Marriage should be a balance of attraction and stablility so that there is no room for resentment to grow.
