Likeability is subjective as it gets. Who is likeable and who is not likeable is different based on who you ask. If you think that men as a whole are generally unlikeable and women as a whole are generally likeable, that seems biased to me, but that's your business. I really don't care if you like men or not. You claim that most women think the way you do, I can't say if that's true or not. Neither can you (with any real authority), without research. Such is the nature of biases. Women are not a monolith.

The author was suggesting that how much a man earns can compensate for having low emotional intelligence and/or being bad in bed. Based on other articles by the same author, she doesn't expect men to be able to carry on a meaningful conversation. This leads me to believe that she generally dislikes men. So, the implication is that she seeks men only for what they can contribute financially. She doesn’t feel like they have anything else to offer.

From your response, I'm guessing you feel the same way. In my opinion, a woman being in a relationship with a man that she does not care for only for how much he earns is not healthy for her or for him. It typically results in either her using him for his money, or him controlling her with it. It leads to abuse one way or another. Nobody is forcing you to go out on dates. I'll ask you the same question: if you don't like men, why are you going out on dates with them?
