Ok, you didn't. I thought (wrongly, I guess) that that is what you meant by successful. If it's not, then you're kinda stating the obvious. I mean, how many women (or men) think to themselves "I want to date a loser." We all want someone who has achieved some level of success. Some people just experience success in ways that bring fame and fortune with it.
Well, that's my point. You said women want successful men. But, like beauty, success is in the eye of the beholder.
