Women regard healthy finances as more important than good looks in a man, according to a survey on last Friday. 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. (Agencies)

上周五公布的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查結(jié)果表明，女性認(rèn)為，男人有錢比長(zhǎng)的帥更重要。 英國(guó)全國(guó)儲(chǔ)蓄與投資的最新季度儲(chǔ)蓄調(diào)查顯示，近一半的英國(guó)女性表示，男人有錢比長(zhǎng)的帥來(lái)得實(shí)際。 然而，只有22％的男性認(rèn)為女性的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況比相貌重要。 在女性看來(lái)，一個(gè)男人的年薪達(dá)到5萬(wàn)英鎊才能算得上有錢。 調(diào)查表明，男人一年至少得掙49247英鎊，才能讓女人覺(jué)得他們"有錢和成功"。而且，有十分之一以上的女人覺(jué)得男人年薪達(dá)到10萬(wàn)或10萬(wàn)以上才能達(dá)到"成功"的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。 而男性對(duì)女性的期望值則相對(duì)較低，他們覺(jué)得女性的年薪達(dá)到42147英鎊就能算是"有錢和成功"了。 在存款方面，女性對(duì)男性的存款期望值平均為24281英鎊，而現(xiàn)實(shí)中英國(guó)男性的平均存款量只有20335英鎊；男性則認(rèn)為女性的存款達(dá)到15143英鎊就不錯(cuò)了，這和女性的實(shí)際平均存款14167英鎊基本吻合。 英國(guó)全國(guó)儲(chǔ)蓄及投資的高級(jí)儲(chǔ)蓄戰(zhàn)略家戴克斯·哈金斯說(shuō)：“經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況是兩性關(guān)系中一個(gè)很重要的因素，這主要體現(xiàn)在人們對(duì)于對(duì)方薪酬水平和存款量的預(yù)期上。或許人們真的認(rèn)為，錢可以買到幸福快樂(lè)。” 除了在經(jīng)濟(jì)期望值方面的顯著差別，64％的調(diào)查對(duì)象認(rèn)為安全的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況對(duì)于維持兩人的關(guān)系很重要。 (英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津姍姍編輯)
