it would be good to find a version that doesn't assume that women are not merely materialistic, but assess prospective mates solely on their net worth

That deep stacking of negatives is confusing. Did you mean: "This version assumes that women are materialistic - worse than just materialistic, it assumes that women assess prospective mates solely on their net worth. It would be good to find a version that doesn't assume that."?

Sorry, I left an extra "not" and an extra "but" in. What a horrible sentence - I apologize.

Did you mean: "This version assumes that women are materialistic - worse than just materialistic, it assumes that women assess prospective mates solely on their net worth. It would be good to find a version that doesn't assume that."?

Yes - thank you.
