HOUSTON — It's going to be a summer of love -- or not-- for Texas women.
A survey conducted by DatingNews.com found that Texas women have among the highest dating standards when it comes to looks and money, with 22% saying they would only date men with "huge" salaries and "model" looks.
Three thousand single women between the ages of 18 and 35 were surveyed to find out where standards are highest and lowest across the country when it comes to dating.
According to DatingNews.com, 17% of women nationwide said they wouldn't consider dating men earning less than six figures or deemed "below average in terms of attractiveness."
The survey found that 86% of women would prefer to date a man who rents rather than owns a home. But note that this could be misleading, considering the high cost of renting in cities like New York, which often involves having a significant income.
Only 59% of women said they would date a man who doesn’t own a car while 64% said they wouldn't date a man if he still lived with his parents.
On the flip side, 80% of women are open to dating a man without a college degree and 85% would consider someone in a "non-traditional job."
The survey also shows 85% of women wouldn’t mind if their partner never traveled beyond their home state.
This is where Texas women rank the attributes they find most attractive in a man, according to DatingResults.com:
1. A great personality
2. A substantial salary
3. Good looks
4. Living in an expensive property
5. Having their own Wikipedia page
6. Ownership of a private plane
