You men are mistaking physical attractiveness for what women are really looking for. Women are attracted to men who are confident, mature, successful (being a measure of a man's maturity) and with a good sense of humour. So, perhaps if you are a good-looking man but don't have a university education and a six-figure salary, you may not get anywhere with really hot women. Which also answers the question above, about good-looking women and ugly men, although not all confident, mature and successful men are ugly.
This isn't to say that women are attracted to the thickness of a man's wallet per se, but subconciously she wishes to have her offspring inherit her husband's genes of success and maturity, so that her offspring will have a chance of attracting a future partner and continuing her genetic line. Sexual attractiveness is a very strong driving force, and relatively simple when broken into its base components.
Some societies are much more up-front about this issue: in Eastern Europe a man doesn't have a good chance unless he's reasonably or quite well off.
Additional reseach shows that women who are married to successful and better-educated men have a strong sexual attraction to their husbands that lasts the life of the relationship. Rather than the typical sexual peaks and troughs, these relationships remain more highly sexual. It is felt that women with successful and educated husbands subconciously make sex readily available to keep their husbands interested, and to keep other women away.
