Ok ladies, this question is sure to raise a few brows, so let me explain the reason behind this:
So, is money/wealth the ultimate afrodisiac? Here's my theory (as I take this back to the caveman era): From the early days of B.C., we had caveman and cavewoman - and naturally, the strongest and most capable caveman endured. The strongest caveman was resourceful and skilled as a hunter; as a result, he was able to capture and kill the finest dinosaurs and animal species. He enjoyed the finest of T-Rex sirloins, while the less powerful caveman was only able to pick berries and salad greens - he simply lacked the strength and power that was needed to survive in an untamed world. Now the cavewoman was attracted to the brute and brawn of a man - and simply put, ADT and Brink's security were nonexistent back then, therefore the strength of a caveman meant alot - it equated to security - and security equated to survival. So who wins the girl 9 times out of 10? The big, strong masculine caveman. And I am assuming that out of 10 women, 1 is probably a vegetarian, so she was cool with Mr. Scrawny Caveman. But the majority of women at that time flocked to Mr. Strong Caveman. He was the man.
Of course, as the scrawny caveman lost out on luring the finest of women, over time he had to invent things like technology, sushi, cars, airplanes, books, stoves, etc. not only to balance the playing field, but to mitigate the potential threat of extinction. He did a great job of putting a monkey wrench in the Strong Caveman Domination theory, and to ensure that he would have staying power, he invented a nasty word to describe the strong man once dominated over the land: GOON. The scrawny caveman owned businesses and created major power moves in life, while the strong caveman had to work security jobs and earn meager pay to stay afloat. So what did the strong caveman do to compensate? He invented boxing, football, soccer and basketball, began to earn legions of fans around the world, he unionized, and now (today), he is "balling".
So, I think that I get it. Woman need security, financially and emotionally. The brute strength of muscles and intelligence create a balance that should appeal to a woman. But let me ask you, are rich men better lovers?? What's more attractive, brains or brawn? (source: Manchild Swagga)

I was motivated to create my Free Your Mind seminars, which encourage Black women to date non-Black men, after listening to an impassioned friend—an attractive woman in her late 30s—lament an all too common refrain from Black women as young as 25. With a master's degree, an executive job, a mortgage in her name, and no children, she just couldn't understand why she was alone when she'd done everything "right." She wanted to find a nice Black guy and get married. She complained about being overlooked by Black men who pretended she didn't exist, or worse, the ones who quoted the unfortunate ratio of Black men to Black women with a smile like the cat who had swallowed the canary. By the time she finished explaining, she had tears in her eyes. And I was thinking: life is way too short to be unhappy and way too long if you are alone when you don't want to be.
I'd been in her shoes. Before I was an equal opportunity dater, I only liked light-skinned brothers who looked like Al B. Sure. Then I moved on to chocolate men that resembled Taye Diggs. I hadn't even thought about dating anything but Black men. I'd heard stereotypes about what "others" really think about dating us, like how non-Black men will date Black women but not marry them (not true). I never thought about how my self-imposed limitations were holding me—and Black women like me—back, keeping us single and causing us to miss potentially enjoyable experiences.
I found out how non-Black men really feel about Black women while I was visiting Switzerland. The amount of attention I received was overwhelming. A man actually walked into a pole while checking me out. I never knew that so many non-Black men were openly enamored with our unique beauty. All the attention was empowering and I returned to the United States with a "new attitude."
Since that trip, I've dated men—Indian, Latino, Italian, and Caucasian—not based on their color, but the content of their character.
