What qualities do single women typically look for in a man? Is it a common preference for women to want a man who earns more than they do?

Beyond money: Regardless of their relative income, there are some women who will place more value on traits like emotional intelligence, support, shared goals, and a partner who values their career goals than a high income. They are out there and they get taken off the dating market quickly.
Although it is a stereotype and not always true, single women frequently seek out men who possess traits like honesty, trustworthiness, kindness, intelligence, a sense of humor, ambition, good communication skills, emotional stability, and respect. Many women place a higher value on compatibility and shared values than income inequality.
The majority of women are hypergamous. I will argue that women do care about how much money her man makes because women and men are attracted to different things. A high earning man will marry a woman who is a high school graduate working at McDonald’s if she is pretty, fit, big booty, busty, and/or willing to follow his lead. He’ll marry her ass and buy her a McDonald’s franchise. Will a high earning woman marry a man working at McDonald’s and buy him a franchise restaurant? Hell no! Women don’t want to pay for a plate of food on a date, so she’s not going to marry that man at McDonald’s. Men will see potential in a woman if she’s hot and willing to follow his lead. I educate women to never apologize for having high standards. It’s her preference.

Individual differences: Depending on one's life stage, cultural background, and personal experiences, preferences may differ.
In the United States, the proportion of households led by women has seen a significant rise over the last three decades. In 1990, just 32.5 percent of households were headed by women, but by 2019, this figure had climbed to 50 percent. This trend is consistent across all racial and ethnic groups, with Black households exhibiting the highest percentage of women in leadership roles. However, women in these positions often encounter challenges such as role overload, role conflict, and various psychological issues. Image having to be the sole provider and having a full-time job, then having to come home to do all the domestic chores. That would overwhelm almost any woman. Of course, there is always an exception to every rule, and there are some women who don’t have a problem with being the sole provider. However, the majority of women would have a problem with working a full-time job, then having to come home and do all of the housework.
Far as income, studies show that ethnic groups who have the fewest female-headed households tend to have the fewest divorces and breakups. Asian-American households have the lowest divorce rate because they have the fewest female-headed households. African-Americans, who have the most female-headed households, have the highest divorce rate. The other races are somewhere in the middle. That is no coincidence.
Social factors: Although societal norms can occasionally sway opinions, contemporary women place a higher value on equality and partners who actively participate in household chores.
