Understanding Men's Qualities
Men can possess three main qualities: wealth, attractiveness, and loyalty, but generally, you can only expect to receive two at most. This reflects an economic principle where individuals can only offer two out of the three desirable traits due to the effort and resources required to develop them. For instance, achieving wealth or attractiveness takes significant work, while loyalty is often the easiest quality to maintain when a man does not possess the other two. Consequently, this scarcity means that landing a man who embodies even one of these traits is already a fortunate situation for many women.
