No one says wealthy or high income. Many do say financially secure/independent/responsible, but these don't necessariy mean wealthy or high income.
When was single, I typically met all or most of what the women claimed to be "necessary" qualities, yet I found getting dates and relationships very difficult. But I knew of many guys who had a certain type of face and/or muscular body type, and they got dates & girlfriends relatively easily, even though they may have had few of the qualities women cite as necessary.
Can someone explain this?

You're a special guy.
The LL thread generally lists qualities for a long-term mate, not for initial attraction. If you still meet all/most of those requirements and are in a happy long-term relationship, woohoo!
Call me an asshole but most people on TFP are fringe weirdos (in the best way) ... hence, no generic OC-type relationships.
Yes... those guys with the same drunk frat face sure got a lot of dates.
Give me my weird/geeky/nerdy/anarchist/artist/musician/awkward/dorky/special boys any day.
Just another reiteration that there's no formula for attracting a mate... despite our efforts on this board to turn it into a science.
