Will there be a change in a woman's preference on how a man should be?

Women have told me that they prefer a man who is intelligent. At the same time, they want a man who isn't arrogant. They want a guy to be humorous, which can get confusing for us guys when trying to balance out the three. A guy needs to be healthy too.

I was told that a woman prefers an intelligent man because she seeks a man who could take care of her and could pass on good genes to their children. This has been ingrained in a woman's mind from generation to generation. Is it just me or do you guys don't emphasize a woman's intellect as much as a woman does to a man? From what I've seen, I can't imagine a woman falling in love with the character whom Ashton Kutcher acted as in That '70s Show, but I certainly know a lot of men who'd date/marry a female equivalent.

What if that woman's need disappears? What if more and more women gain powerful positions? I think more and more women would no longer feel the need to marry a guy who is more intelligent, older and wealthier than herself. I know of one successful woman who said that she'd marry a younger guy whose style she could change if she wants to. Another woman somewhat like her is my older cousin who came from a wealthy family. She married a guy who wasn't wealthy. She was mainly attracted to her looks. I think she plays the dominant role because of the wealth that her parents give her. She controls the money management of the couple, tries to control what friends her man should hang around with, and even controls what hairstyle her husband should have. This guy isn't weak and submissive to the others.

I could see more and more women think less about a man's intellect and wealth in the future.
