Here is an example from the Daily Mail comment section
This certainly rings true; I had very few girlfriends when I earned £37K p/a, but when I started my own company and my salary went over £100K I had trouble fighting them off, all eager to get married and quit their jobs. When much of the work went to India and the tax-burden encouraged me to shut the company and take a lower salary, my girlfriend left me and I've not had another since.
If the survey asked about looks, many men would give similarly unrealistic ratings of what they regarded as attractive. That doesn't mean they won't shag/marry the 95% of females who don't meet that standard.
Women may regard a £50,000 income as the benchmark of a "wealthy and successful" man, but it doesn't follow that most are going to hold out for that.
