"Women care about money more than anything else" Can I get some opinions?

Before you attack me I don't agree with the title, I'm arguing against it.

So one of my buddies and I have been debating for about 45 minutes now. The argument started with whether or not money in and of itself brings happiness and turned into how relevant a man's assets and finances are in a relationship. I'll elaborate on the two points below:

My friend's argument is that women only care about what a man can bring to the table. If the man isn't making (a lot) of money, women don't want him. The key point here is a lot. The man needs to be making a higher than average income (must be higher than hers) and live a higher-end lifestyle in order to appease women. If this isn't the case, women will consider other men. How a man treats a woman isn't as important as what he can do to provide for her based on his income and assets. She should be able to depend on him to take care of her, entirely.

My argument is that money is important, but typically isn't the deciding factor. I argue that (good) women care more about how the man treats her than the size of his wallet and his assets. Women want a man who will love them, cherish them, listen to them, protect them, take care of them, and eventually be the proud and humble father of their children and head their household. While money is certainly important, it is typically not the deciding factor in a relationship. Most women would prefer a good man with less money over a mediocre or bad man with more money. Money and assets can change over time. The man typically won't.

I'd like to know what you all think about this, and if you could share your thoughts. Thanks and I hope everyone is well and being safe during these times! Enjoy your day/evening/night.
