Women regard
healthy finances as more important than good looks in a man, according to
a survey on last Friday.
Almost half said a healthy bank balance is more significant than
physical attractiveness in a potential partner, according to National
Savings & Investments' (NS&I) latest quarterly savings survey.
Just 22 percent of men, however, rate finances above looks in women.
A salary of almost 50,000 pounds a year is demonstrative of male
financial success, according to women.
Men need to earn at least 49,247 pounds a year before women consider
them successful and wealthy, the study found. And more than one in 10
women would only consider a partner to be successful if they are earning
100,000 pounds or more.
Men were found to have lower expectations, saying they would deem women
earning 42,147 pounds to be successful and wealthy.
On the savings front, women expect their men to
have an average of 24,281 pounds in savings -- compared to 20,335 pounds
in reality -- while men are happy with savings of 15,143 pounds among
women, much in line with
an actual average of 14,167 pounds.
Dax Harkins, senior savings strategist at NS&I, said: "Finances
form a very important part of relationship dynamics and this is reflected
in the expectations people have, both in terms of salary and savings
levels. Maybe people do believe they can buy happiness after all."
Despite marked differences in expectations, 64 percent of those
questioned agree that financial security is important to the success of a
relationship.

上周五公布的一項調查結果表明，女性認為，男人有錢比長的帥更重要。
英國全國儲蓄與投資的最新季度儲蓄調查顯示，近一半的英國女性表示，男人有錢比長的帥來得實際。
然而，只有22％的男性認為女性的經濟狀況比相貌重要。
在女性看來，一個男人的年薪達到5萬英鎊才能算得上有錢。
調查表明，男人一年至少得掙49247英鎊，才能讓女人覺得他們"有錢和成功"。而且，有十分之一以上的女人覺得男人年薪達到10萬或10萬以上才能達到"成功"的標準。
而男性對女性的期望值則相對較低，他們覺得女性的年薪達到42147英鎊就能算是"有錢和成功"了。
在存款方面，女性對男性的存款期望值平均為24281英鎊，而現實中英國男性的平均存款量只有20335英鎊；男性則認為女性的存款達到15143英鎊就不錯了，這和女性的實際平均存款14167英鎊基本吻合。
英國全國儲蓄及投資的高級儲蓄戰略家戴克斯·哈金斯說：“經濟狀況是兩性關系中一個很重要的因素，這主要體現在人們對于對方薪酬水平和存款量的預期上。或許人們真的認為，錢可以買到幸福快樂?！?
除了在經濟期望值方面的顯著差別，64％的調查對象認為安全的經濟狀況對于維持兩人的關系很重要。
