And the funniest thing is, most women don't even care about any of that shit. Men like you have decided that this is what you think is important in a man and have extrapolated that out to assume it must be what women want - but overwhelmingly, they don't. It's not the "increasing attitude" of women - in fact, research shows that over the past 75 years, interest in those things has steadily declined. Newsflash - it's not 1950 anymore!

"A relentless focus on “mating value,” narrowly conceived, also contrasts with an analysis of several data sets reporting what characteristics men and women find more and less important in a partner. These show that for the past seventy-five years, across a number of different countries, the most important attributes in a long-term partner for both women and men have nothing to do with youthful fertility traded for resources."

“Good looks are less important to women — men who score between 5–9 on ‘attractiveness’ actually receive more messages than men who score 10/10,” finds an Oxford University analysis of 150,000 dating profiles. “Both sexes have become less concerned with the income or education level of a potential partner.”

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint. I do not feel ashamed. I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between.
