We Were Both Right, But I'm More Right

Regarding a conversation I had with Angela last night, one would think that by reading the following she would be right.
the common wisdom that men are more likely than women to prefer younger mates and to put a high premium on looks, and that women are more likely to prefer mates with good financial prospects, is no mere stereotype.
And that's apparently backed up with some hard data. But from an earlier post of the blogger, he and I are in agreement.
surely there is no contradiction between wanting a kind, understanding, and intelligent mate and wanting that mate to also be either "good looking" or "financially sucess[ful]"--factors which may become less important once you get to know someone but may strongly influence who one is willing to date to begin with
So yeah... I'm more right.
