Too sexy for their (button-down) shirt

Forget the rebounding economy, here's something certain to leave corner office executives with a smile: The CEO is the sexiest position in America.

That's the word from a new study compiled by WhatsYourPrice.com, a date auction website. “Whether it's the power or the status, women are attracted to successful men,” states a release from the site. “More specifically men that own businesses. Gone are the days when women based a man's success off of his uniform — now it's about the suit and tie.”

The survey results were pulled from user data. WhatsYourPrice.com is a so-called “dating-for-dollars website,” where members can bid and pay for first dates with other users. Money is exchanged during the date, the release states, and second dates may be arranged online or off.

Entrepreneurs make up 25% of the male users on the website, the survey shows, and those men top the list with the most dates. “Doctors and lawyers are successful, no doubt,”
WhatsYourPrice.com CEO and founder Brandon Wade says in the release. “But women find it sexier when a man takes great risks to successfully build his own business from the ground up.”
