> Especially once they reach their thirties and get hit with the double whammy of declining attractiveness and a higher desire for deeper relationships.
You mean their biological clock is ticking to get kids?
> female attraction is really complicated
They indeed look for more aspects than men. But I think it can best be summed up as:
1. successful man
2. man sweet enough to take care of the family
3. man hard enough to protect the family from the outside world
I think there is still confusion about these points: successful does not equal rich. A born-rich loser will have a harder time than a hard working entrepreneur that might hit jackpot some day.
And they are not looking for jerks. They are looking for jerks to the outside world, and sweet to them. Basically a man who can and will protect them and their family.
But of course, I think we can all agree that women are more complex than this ;).

Partially, but the fact that the men I know are more likely to want deeper relationships too suggests that it's not entirely due to that. Aging changes preferences: most people also have fewer, closer friends as they age too.
