I was wondering about this so I went to look for it. As I expected, further confirmation of Red Pill truth (alpha f over beta bucks for reproduction).
Recent study (2014)
http://www.researchgate.net/publica...behavioural_traits_versus_physical_appearance
I only read the abstract, quote relevant bit:
We not only identify individual factors that influence women’s mating preferences but find strong support for the proposition that behavioural traits (inner values) are more important in these choices than physical appearance (exterior values). We also report evidence that physical factors matter more than resources or other external cues of material success, perhaps because the relevance of good character in donor selection is part of a female psychological adaptation throughout evolutionary history. The lack of evidence on a preference for material resources, on the other hand, may indicate the ability of peer socialization and better access to resources to rapidly shape the female decision process.
Still, for some in the RP community it may be a bit surprising to see behavioural traits above physical factors. I didn't read the full paper.
Another one is excerpt of a book with some nice charts:
