Women want two things:

They want a man with low testosterone who won't stray, with a good job and who is good with children. A provider and a nurcherer.
They want a man with a high testosterone to screw their brains out and get them their children.

So, ideally they want the former to look after the children of the latter.

Women aren't shallow, oh no. They just like men who buy them things. Shiny things. Expensive things. It's not that they want these things per se, it's just that it is a fantastic surrogate marker to assess how much the man cares.
They are not obsessed by money. Of course not. They just don't like men without drive or ambition or intelligence. Things that just happen to lead to, erm, material possessions.

Apparently women over time to have different preferences in men, which helps ensure genetic drift in the species which keeps it heathy. Unlike the social system which encourages reverse darwinism.
