Actually, as a man. It's your time, resources, validation and commitment.

This is actually a good point. Usually what a man and woman brings to a relationship are different. And everyone here has heard the criticism probably thousands of times at this point that a man merely having money is all that matters to a lot of women out there
I won’t dispute that fact. I think it’s a little more hard-wired than many people realize, both in our dna but also thousands of years of human anthropological evolution. And not just occurring in humans either. If we look at other animal species, in many others the females select a mate who they feel could best provide a home for their future brood. To some degree this is hardwired into women even if they don’t plan to have kids. It’s just like why men find younger, usually skinnier (not gross skinny but not fat) women more attractive, that’s hard wired as well. Having symmetrical features, being at a healthy weight, and being young, are all physical indicators that this woman is in the best physical condition to have children. Men are hard wired to be attracted to this even if they don’t plan or want to have kids
Obviously there is a downside to marrying strictly for money and bartering one’s looks, as we all know. Looks fade. And if your looks was all you were coasting on, you can pretty much guarantee that man is going to cheat on you with a younger prettier woman, and eventually drop you for one completely (divorce settlements complicate this but there is such a thing as prenup)
Women can bring personality, humor and other things to the table, same as men can. I’m sure you’ve all seen at one point or another a girl who is with a guy who looks out of her league looks wise. That’s probably a girl with a good personality, and/or she’s dynamite in bed

But yep it cannot be denied that men will always be a bit more focused on looks and women will be a bit more focused on success and ability to provide financial stability, on a general scale
