Researchers used data collected from an upmarket dating agency and a cosmetic surgery clinic, and discovered that there is an ever-increasing amount of women who are looking for a partner that not only provides professional and financial success, but one who also 'looks the part'.
Mairead Molloy, founder of dating agency Berkeley International, is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "Now appearance, or finding a person who takes care and pride in the way they look, is at the top of the wish list for women.
"We have, over time, certainly noticed a big increase in the number of women who list appearance as a top priority for them."
As if that wasn't enough, it appears that some women are even prepared to pay for their partner to get the desired looks they're after.
According to the Private Clinic on Harley Street, London, more and more women are paying for treatment for their boyfriend or husband to undergo cosmetic procedures, with hair transplants and body sculpting techniques the most 'popular' treatments. Men also account for 50% of all liposuction patients at The Private Clinic, while three times as many chose to have their upper torsos shaped in the first half of 2013, when compared to the same period in 2011.
Dr Raghu Reddy, the clinic's hair transplant expert explained: "The majority of the male patients I treat for hair loss explain that it is actually the opinions of their partner that they are most concerned with.
"And while most tell me that their wives or girlfriends are happy to support their decision, some go a step further and tell me that it is their partners who are actually paying for their procedure to rectify a receding hair line or balding patch.
"For a long time, cosmetic surgery was associated with women who opted to undergo specific procedures to keep themselves looking healthy and younger in the eyes of men.
"But attitudes are changing and not it is just as important for men to look their best. They realise that having the latest treatments will not only help them to look and feel more confident, but it is also likely to make them far more attractive to the opposite sex."
