A survey conducted on 100 single women aged between 18 and 24 showed that 50 percent of them were ready to marry rich men as old as their fathers, Al-Watan daily reported.
The report said half the women surveyed preferred an older, richer man because "they are morally and financially ready to handle the responsibilities of a house and wife."
Thirty percent of women preferring old men said they did not trust younger men while 20 percent said older men "treat women with maturity and respect".
Seventy-five percent of those surveyed said they prefer a rich man, according to the survey.
Sara Badi, an 18-year-old high school student, told Al-Watan: "I cannot live with a man who depends on a job salary only, because I don't believe in the idea that two people need to build their future together."
Rawya Sharaf, a 20-year-old university student, said she would not marry a man who could not provide "a dream house, diamonds, honeymoon in one of the international capitals and a maid and driver".
