Experts assert that women the world over instinctively go for the man that shows promise of providing for her and taking good care of her children. A man who falls short on this score should not be surprised if women do not spare him a second glance.
Dr Puis Mutie, a sociologist and lecturer at the University of Nairobi (Kenya), says a woman's biological make-up has a lot to do with the choice she makes in her search for a life partner.
"Based on this biological fact, it is is therefore makes sense that a woman looking for a life partner will zero in on one who will assure her of financial comfort," he says.
