Intelligence is one of the most important things to me. Looks are handy for drawing my attention initially, and then when I get to know them the way I perceive they look changes. So I guess in general, from those four types, mine is sort of a cross between the nerd and the provider.
To get ahead in NZ, most families have to have dual providers, ie both the man and the woman are equal breadwinners. To be honest I would feel really uncomfortable if the guy paid for everything, and that would be detrimental to our relationship. I need to have financial independence at all times so I could never just sit back and let him provide for me. That's just me though, I'm a very independent person in general.
Cocky guys and pretty boys are often nice to look at, but they leave me cold inside.
Nerds are really my predominant type. I love a guy with whom I can discuss everything and debate some issue or abstract concept when we're snuggled up in bed late at night. Someone who can help me expand my thinking on things, and isn't too pigheaded to learn from me as well. Creativity, and writing me poetry is also a bonus, but we can't have it all I guess. My current guy doesn't have a poetic bone in his body.
As for society in general, I really can't answer. I'm pretty atypical when it comes to a lot of things.
