Comparison of the ads

In the ads for women seeking men, it is quite evident that most of the women want men who are financially stable. The second woman states that she wants an independent man and this means that the man must be financially stable. The third fourth and fifth women also state that they want financially stable men. However, in the ads for men seeking women, it is quite evident that men do not care much about the financial status of women. This is because most men state that they are willing to take care of women. Men ads also prove that most of men prefer attractive men, as opposed to women who merely care about the financial status of their spouses (Knox & Schacht, 2002).  Women are also prone to mention the age of the men that they want while men do not mention the age of the women they are seeking. Most women identify themselves as attractive while men do not. These results are also similar to the textbook.
